[A Christmas rom com novella]
Kat has never liked the whole notion of "Christmas spirit" - but when she meets the enigma Aidan, who's determined to make her like Christmas, her thinking starts to change.
* * * *
Kat Lin is a little bit like the grinch: someone who hates Christmas, hates the happiness and cheer that come along with the yearly season. But when Aidan Williams pops into her life, everything changes - and for the better or the worst, she isn't sure.
Aidan is everything Kat is not, and he's stubbornly stuck with the thought that everyone can love happiness, as long as they have the right push. So he makes it his duty to make sure that Kat likes this year's Christmas.
And maybe, just maybe, this year's Christmas might involve a little romance. . .

I SAW SANTA KILL SOMEONE
Celeste Gray thought it would be nice to stay in a cabin in the woods. Being able to be alone, left with her thoughts, finding nature, and the nice cozy feeling of warmth were what she needed. Which led her to book/rent out a cabin for the whole month of December. Spending the holidays alone shouldn't be too bad. I mean, there's a reason she's alone in the first place; this is what she needed to move on with her life. So everything should be fine. Celeste was wrong about that because the moment she decided to take that trail in the woods, she knew she fucked up. Especially when she saw Santa Clause, not dropping off gifts, not with his reindeer or his sleigh, but standing over a dead body. She just saw Santa kill someone. Ji-Cheol Kim is not your average man, he does something for a living that is not for everyone, but someone has to do it, especially when it's getting justice in a way for people who deserve justice done that way. He was doing his job, which he is very good at when someone who wasn't supposed to be there ended up being there. Now his plans have changed, which led him to do something he doesn't mind doing, finally being able to spend the holidays with someone. Even if the person doesn't want that, she has no choice but to accept it. Neither of them was expecting this to happen. Two people from different worlds who ended up bumping into each other are now spending the holidays together. This was far from being a Christmas miracle.
