[FLASHBACK]

It was Christmas Day, a light blanket of snow covered your front lawn. Your phone vibrated, it was a text from Hyunjin.

hyunjin: look out your window

y/n: what ok

What is this about? you maneuvered yourself out of bed, walking over to your window. Hyunjin stood outside waving to you, a cheeky smile on his face. You immediately called his phone.
"Merry Christmas!" he said cheerfully.
"What are you doing?!" you smiled at him through the window.
"Come outside, let's go do something!" he said.
"But it's cold and I'm lazy..." you whined.
"I'll come to you then," he began walking towards your front door.
"Hey! Where are you going?!" you asked.
"My parents are home-" he hung up.

You scrambled to your door. What is this idiot doing?! you ran downstairs. As you made it to the mud room you were surprised to see Hyunjin talking with your dads. The three of them seemed to be getting along. One of your fathers noticed you standing there.
"Y/N! Why didn't you tell us Hyunjin was coming over today!" he said.
"Actually, I apologize for this, but I came by unannounced." Hyunjin told him.
"Y/N rarely has friends over so this is a nice change." your other dad said. Hyunjin held in a laugh.
"I'm just surprised it's a boy." one of them said to the other.
"Dad!" you felt so embarrassed.
"In all honesty, I thought you hated them dear," he said to you.
"Good thing she's not one of those, y'know, lesbians,"one of your dads whispered to Hyunjin. Hyunjin raised his eyebrow at you.
"You're literally gay," you rolled your eyes. Hyunjin seemed like he wasn't sure what to do.
"Sorry about that, he's just joking," you sighed.
"Well we are going out today, c'mon Hyunjin." you told your dads, leading Hyunjin to the stairs.
"Where to?" one of your dads asked.
"Not sure yet, tell you when I come back down." you said starting up the stairs.
"If you're not back downstairs in ten minutes I'm checking on you." your dad said.
"Of course!" you yelled down.

You opened your room door, walking over to your vanity.
"You can just sit on the bed, sorry I didn't clean." you opened a drawer.
"It's fine, I came without notice anyway." he said. Hyunjin took his time observing your room. You had photos on your nightstand of you as a child and some with friends. The room had a warm feeling with lights and a scented wax burner. There were also some posters of your favorite girl groups Red Velvet and Wonder Girls.
"No boy groups?" he asked.
"What?" you turned to him. He pointed to your wall.
"Oh, yeah no, girl groups is where it's at." you turned back around to mirror.
"I disagree," he scoffed.
"Whatever, turn around." you stood up.
"Why?" he asked.
"Cause I'm gonna change," you went to your closet.
"But I don't want to," he said.
"Then you can wait outside in the cold snow." you examined two of your shirts.
"Fine." he turned to face the wall.

After quickly changing, you went back to your vanity to apply lip tint. Hyunjin walked up behind you, leaning down.
"I peeked." he whispered into your ear with a grin.
"I outta-" you swatted at him like a fly. You stood.
"Come here," you smacked your lips together.
"Okay," he walked back to you thinking he was getting a kiss.
"Don't peek you perv." you pinched his ear.
"A-ahh! Okay, okay! I won't ever again! S-stop!" he pried your hand off his ear.
"Now let's go." you said.

You waved your dads goodbye as you walked across the sidewalk. The air was sharp and cold causing you and Hyunjin's noses to redden.
"Are we really going to walk all the way to the ice rink?" you asked Hyunjin.
"No way," he chuckled.
"How are we going to get there then?" you asked.
"We're not going." he said.
"Wait what?" you had a puzzled look on your face.
"We are going somewhere secret instead!" he skipped forward.
"Of course we are," you sighed.
"What does that mean?!" he turned back around at you.
"Nothing, you are just full of surprises." you said.
"I'm choosing to take that as a compliment whether you meant it that way or not." he smiled.
