"Say..."
Iris took a sip of her coffee as she look up at Jin.
"It's getting colder these days huh."
"Since it's Christmas soon after all."
Jin replied with a eye-closed smile. Stella had been reminding him everyday so it's hard not to remember it.
*clack*
Suddenly, the sugar spoon Iris was using suddenly fell on the table, her eyes widened. Her lips started to move but no sound was heard.
"Iris-san?"
Jin tilted his head in wonder.
"...mas..."
"Yes? What did you say?"
"Christmas is COMING?!"
Iris immediately stood up as she slammed her hands on the poor table, which made everyone in the cafe turned their attention to her. The moment she realized she was too outstanding, she embarrassedly faked a cough then bent down to pick up her things and put them all in her purse.
"I-i just remembered that I still have works to take care of so I'm leaving now."
"O-oh, it can't be helped then.", Jin nodded understandingly. "Please take care of yourself Iris-san."
He then sent her off with a warm smile.
"Of course! See ya Jin!"
Iris smiled back then dashed out with full force. Her cheeks was a peach-color pink, that smile just now of Jin was somewhat a critical hit.

About half a week before Christmas.
Iris had been shutting in her room for the whole time, forbidding everyone from entering. Only Haru was called in for a few times though. No one except her knew what Iris doing and of course, she had to keep it a secret.
But Iris is not the real main problem here, everyone were worried about Jin on the other hand. Ever since then, he had always been like a puppy that lost his owner. Anyone could see his so-called puppy ears cupped as he sulked on his own in the corner of the gathering room.
"Iris-san is ignoring me..." would always be his first line if anyone asked him what's wrong.
Then there's this one day.
Jin was talking to some soldiers when his contact device lighted up. The name on the screen was...
"Iris-san!"
He quickly answered the call. From the other side of the screen was his beloved's voice, as calming and energetic as always.
"Oh Jin! Are you near here? Are you near a shop then? Well whatever, can ya bring me some wool rolls? The yellow ones. Quick, it's an emergency!"
"G-got it! Let's talk another time guys. Goodbye!"
Jin then dissappeared as fast as when his 3D screen showed up, at lightning speed. Thoses who were left could do nothing but sigh and laughed at Jin's reaction.
As soon as possible, Jin had already arrived at Iris's room, knocking at her door.
"Iris-san? Iris-sann!?"
He called her name impatiently.
"Coming~!"
After a minute, a familiar figure appeared in front of Jin's eyes. Must had felt like forever, for him to get to see her, since his heart was beating so fast he couldn't breath.
