Ailey's POV
Finally it's Christmas, and for the past week I have been itching to give Woohyun my gift.

Ding

{Text from Woohyun,

Ailey, let's meet at Olympic Park. At 10:30?}

Yes! I've been waiting for this text for such a long time. I replied brightly, 'See you in half an hour!' I should make an effort today, shouldn't I? It is Christmas after all..our first ever Christmas together.

I sprawled all of my winter clothes onto my bed as I hastily stood there making a quick decision. After a few minutes of humming to myself, I decided to wear a maroon dress with black tights and brown ankle boots together.

For some reason, I was thrilled to meet up with Woohyun. I checked my watch, '10:19' before leaving the house with excitement as I clutched onto the gift I prepared for Woohyun. Right..Olympic Park..it's not far from here. It'll probably take 10 minutes to walk.

I finally reached Olympic Park with an earphone in my ear. The park was coated with a thin layer of snow as snowflakes sprinkled from the sky. The scenery was like a painting you'd find in a gallery, it was breathtaking. I shivered as I tried searching for Woohyun to appear in front of my eyes..

'10:35,' My watch ticked as I sat down on the nearest bench. I took out my phone and began to type a message to Woohyun despite the fact my fingers felt like they were about to fall off from the coldness.

{To Woohyun,

Are you here yet? I-}

Just as I continued to type, I noticed Woohyun slowly approach towards me. "You're here!" I smiled as I rushed over towards him with my gift hidden behind my back.

"Ailey," Woohyun's gaze was different this time.

"Yeah?" I murmured.

"Let's end this relationship." His words were like a stab in my heart as my mind became completely blank. He continued, "This relationship was never going to work out, we both knew it. Our parents can never know about our past relationship and most importantly..forget everything that has happened between us two because I know I will."

Forget? How can I forget this relationship? Ailey..don't cry in front of him, he'll just pity you more. He doesn't care at all, is that what this relationship was to him?

"Are you really ending things between..between us two?" I swallowed that lump in my throat as I fought back to hold in the tears. The gift which was hidden behind my back began to tighten as my hands squeezed it harder.

"It's over between us two, Ailey. I'll only ever see you as my younger sister." Woohyun coldly replied as his back was faced towards me and his body became smaller and smaller into the crowd of people at the park.

My eyes began to tear up more and more as they constantly rolled down my cheek. Before I knew it, I was uncontrollably gasping for air-which hardly ever happened to me unless I was really crying hard.

'Woohyun..you jerk..idiot..' I repeatedly mumbled to myself as I wiped my tears using my coat sleeve on my own, surrounded by couples.

I miss him more than I should do, and it's not even been two minutes since he left.
