Flashback...

Hoseok's P.O.V

A smile spread across my face seeing the chaotic mess in front of me. One was spraying artificial snow on the ground with her tongue stuck out. Another decorated rose petals everywhere wearing a tiara himself. The youngest was busy setting up the Christmas tree while the shortest found it difficult to set the star on the top.

I was going to propose Auro. Was I nervous? Hell yeah. I was sweating and my legs trembled occasionally. I was repeating the lines in my mind. But every time I said it, I tend to forget something. I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"You seem quiet nervous.", Jess sat beside me handing me an ice cream.

"Nervous would be an understatement. I'm going to propose an almighty goddess.", I laughed scratching my head.

"True. She stopped me from leaving you all. I swear she's intimidating. Oof.", she shook her head and here my heart skipped a beat.

"What did she say to stop you?", I had been curious all this time.

"Why don't you ask her yourself? I'm sure she'll tell you.", she gave me a coy smile.

I waited for her to arrive. The boy hid in places where they could be clearly seen, let alone the constant chattering. Rey and Jess were in charge of bringing her. Just then, I received a text from Jess informing they are almost here.

I was hiding behind the door. I blindfolded her just as she entered. Leading her to the backyard, I admired her amused face. On reaching, I removed the blindfold and she gaped at the scene in front of her.

I took her hand, walking through the snow. I could feel her gaze on me and that's boosted nothing but my nervousness enormously. I made her stand below the Christmas tree.

"Auro!", someone shouted and she turned back in the direction of the voice.

"Was that Ji-", her words came to an halt on turning again. I was on my knees, asking for her hand.

"Shit, I forgot everything that I was going to say. Why am I so nervous. Haha. You once said that you would liked to be proposed on a Christmas night. I couldn't wait till then so I prepared these. ", I mentally cursed myself for blabbering unnecessarily.

"Though I have lots of things to say, but my words are hiding from me and I cannot express. A simple thing I want to say is I love you. Will you be mine?", I said in a breathe and looked at her. Her face fell and so did my heart. She gestured me to stand up. I did. Then she turned on her heels and went away without saying a word.

"I deserved this. What was I even expecting", tears fell from my eyes and my body went numb.

"Yah Jung Hoseok!", I turned to see Auro running towards me. The next moment she crashed into me, hugging me tight.

"What took you so long idiot? I love you too.", she said still hugging me. "How long did I had to wait for this.", she pulled away.

At that moment, the  snow started falling and the Christmas tree twinkled with the colourful lights.

"So madam I'll grant you another wish.", with that I pulled her by her waist and kissed her. She placed her hand behind my neck to deepen the kiss. After a minute or two we pulled away, hearing a thud.
