I burst the door open to our house when I finally arrived. The first thing I did early in the morning is to go to our house to clarify what my mom said last night.
"Riki, what's with the rush?" My dad asked me. I gave him a small hug before running to the kitchen where my mom is, not answering his question.
"Mom! What do you mean by going back to Japan?" I asked, panting a bit because of all the running. She stopped cooking and turned to look at me "We're spending the Holidays there"
"Why didn't you tell me that last night? You really made me ran all the way from school" I sighed in relief and sat on the bar stool.
"Who told you to run all the way here?" She raised her brow while pointing the spatula at me. I rolled my eyes at her "You just made me nervous" I replied.
"Ma, he's just worried that he won't see his boyfriend anymore" Konon yelled from the living room that made everyone, including Misora who just entered the kitchen, laugh.
I rolled my eyes again and grabbed a bacon from the plate that mom just placed on the table. Soon, we all started eating breakfast peacefuly.
"But we're coming back after Holidays, right?" I asked, hoping she would say yes "You study here, so of course we're coming back" I nodded jn agreement.
I'm looking forward to going back to Japan since my other relatives are there, especially my grandparents, I'm happy that I get to spend the Holidays with them, but I can't help but think about Sunoo hyung. It's our first Christmas together as a couple, but I guess we won't be able to celebrate it together..
Once I finished eating, I bid goodbye to my family to go back to the campus. Christmas break just started so we don't have classes for a week.
I quickly messaged Sunoo to meet up with at the café near the university to tell him the news. I didn't wait too long for him as he arrived just a few minutes later.
"So, what did you want to tell me?" He asked, after giving me a kiss on the cheek. I sighed, not wanting to disappoint him. His brows furrowed as he noticed my hesitation and reached to hold my hand.
"Hey, it's okay if it's bad news, I won't be sad" He smiled while caressing my hand with his thumb. I nodded. He knows me too well.
"We're spending the Holidays in Japan.." I slowly uttered. I studied his face if he's showing any violent reactions. I expected him to be upset about the news but instead, he smiled brightly.
"That's great! You will be able to see your grandparents again!" He cheered. My eyes softened at his reaction. He's so sweet..
"But, it's our first Christmas as a couple, wouldn't you be sad if we don't spend it together?" I asked. He shook his head and smiled. He took both of my hands and held it with both of his.
"I won't lie that I'm not sad about the fact that we won't be able to spend Christmas together, but you're finally seeing your family after so many years.. I know how much you miss them." He stated, all while looking at me. I slowly nodded, understanding him. I do miss my family.
"And besides, we've spent Christmas and New year for god knows how many years now! I'm sure it won't hurt if we spend this year's Holiday separately" He laughed and soon, I joined him. It is true that ever since I moved here, we spent Holidays together.
"Okay.. but we're doing a video call on Christmas and New year okay?" He nodded vigorously, liking my suggestion. After settling the issue, we ordered hot chocolate and talked about what we would do before I go back to Japan.

We left the café a few minutes ago and we're just strolling around the park, hand in hand, casually swinging back and forth. When I suddenly felt a small raindrop that landed on my nose, or was it a raindrop?
"Ni-ki look! It's snowing!" Sunoo jumped excitedly when he saw the small snowflakes falling from the sky. I let go of his hand and he immediately ran around while the snow kept falling.
At that moment, I just stared at him. No one seems to exist at that moment, I just saw him. Laughing and smiling, catching the small snowflakes. His hair brushing against his beautiful eyes as the wind blows past him. Everything feels like a slow motion. I clearly saw how his eyes lit up while looking at the sky, his pale skin just like the snow, plump pink lips like roses, eyes that shine like the stars. He's just, perfect. My vocabulary is lacking to describe him. All I can think while watching him like this is..
"I'm really happy I get to call you mine"
He slowly stopped and looked at me. He made his way towards me and wrapped his arms around my neck, doing the same on his waist. I leaned my forehead on his and closed my eyes, feeling jis warm breath hitting my face.
"I love you" I kissed his nose
"I love you" His cheek
"I love you" His other cheek
"I love you" His forehead
"I love you so much" Finally, his lips
I looked at him and he was still closing his eyes, but tears were streaming down his face. I smiled and wiped it with my gloved hand "Why are you crying love?" I asked, my voice ever so gentle.
"It's just that, no one ever loved me like this.. I never thought that I would be loved this much, I always thought that no one would actually love me for who I really am, y'know.. my feminine side.. even my friends a few years back left me when they found out.. I just.. I'm really thankful I have you" He confessed, crying silently.
I engulfed him into a hug, caressing his head while I let him cry, whispering sweet things to calm him down.
"I'm here, I'm always here, I don't care if you're feminine or not, you can be whoever you want when you're with me.. You deserve all the love in the world" He slowly nodded and detached himself from me, wiping his tears.
"You know, people says that if you're with the person you love during the first snow, you'll be together forever" He chuckled at my statement which made me frown.
He giggled at my reaction and gave me a peck "Even if we don't spend the first snow together, we'll always be together forever" He whispered and leaned his forehead with mine again.
I hummed, agreeing to his remarks. We stayed there, eyes closed, forehead touching, and nose casually brushing against each other.
At moments like this, I don't care about any other people around us, all that matters is, I have him in my arms, and I promise to make him the happiest.
