[2:32am] you can’t stop the smile that forms on your face as you watch jungwoo from afar. he’s just as gorgeous as ever, even if he’s drunk on eggnog and wearing christmas lights around his frame as he dances. 

his friends laugh wildly at his antics and laugh and hoot even louder once he finishes his small performance and bows. when he straightens up again, you see his eyes light up. you realize belatedly that it’s jungwoo’s girlfriend that causes his eyes to sparkle as she hugs him, planting small kisses all over his cheeks. 

his laugh carries over the noise of the party. it twists your insides and you force you gaze down to the drink sitting in your hand. you swallow the liquid, and with it, hope to drown out the pain. 

if only you had realized sooner.

[8:19pm] “mark, i’m really not sure about this.” you say as you step onto the ice rink, eyes nervously glued to the slippery ground in front of you and clinging onto mark’s arm for stability. your legs wobble but you still manage to bring your other foot next to you to stand fully on the ice. with a small newfound confidence you push forward. to your amazement you actually glide a little before halting at the ice rink’s barrier for support. you glance back at mark with a smile and find him already looking at you fondly. 

“see, i told you there’s nothing to it.”

however, when you move to push forward again, you lose your balance and are sent flying backwards. 

mark’s arms are around you in the blink of an eye, and despite the fact that you can feel his heart beating just as fast as yours, he still manages to breathily chuckle in your ear. 

“don’t worry, i’ll always be here to catch you.”

[7:00pm] resting your own icing bag on the side, you watch in awe as taeyong expertly spreads the icing on the cookie, making his creation look like the flawless image of a cute snowman and not the mess of whites and reds that currently decorates your own cookie. It was supposed to be a Santa. 

taeyong looks up at you only to find you staring, and he chuckles under your gaze. 

“no fair.” you whine while chancing a glance at his pile of perfectly crafted cookies. “you’re a baker. how am i supposed to compete?” 

taeyong laughs freely at that, and it causes your own mouth to twitch up in a smile. 

“nobody ever said this was a competition, baby.” taeyong soothes you, reaching across the table to squeeze your hand briefly. “but if it was..” he continues as you raise your eyebrows. 

“i’d be winning.”

you drop the cookie decorating in favor of chasing taeyong around the house.

[1:13 pm] you’re snuggled up under a warm blanket, legs intertwined with taeil’s underneath the fabric and a steaming mug of hot chocolate in both of your hands. you watch as your boyfriend laughs at the holiday comedy playing on the tv, the vibrant  lights from the screen casting pretty colors across his face. 

despite the undoubtedly funny scene in the movie, you find yourself enraptured by the sight of taeil across from you, bundled up in a similar fashion to you, eyes crinkling at the sides with the force of his laugh. 

you smile to yourself, you don’t think you’ve ever been this happy.

[11:20pm] “ooh this one’s pretty! oh and so is this one!” donghyuck tosses another two christmas baubles into the cart you are currently seated in. you inspect both ornaments briefly before adding them to the ever growing pile of candles, candy canes, garland, stockings, wreaths, snow globes, and angels next to you. a loud gasp announces your boyfriends finding of another ornament. 

“this reindeer is so cute, we have to get it.” you crane your neck to look at the reindeer in question. donghyuck catches on, wagging the reindeer in your face with an excited look on his face. you frown slightly. 

“uh, hyuck, not to rain on your parade but... don’t you think we already have too many decorations?” in the blink of an eye, the cart is turned around, making you face your boyfriend. he leans close, arms supporting his weight at the sides of the cart. 

“y/n, love of my life, you can never have too many christmas decorations.”

you roll your eyes with an exasperated sigh at your boyfriends melodramatics. donghyuck only gives his million watt smile before leaning in to kiss you, taking you by surprise. he tilts his head to the side to deepen the kiss, making sure to nibble at your bottom lip, not caring at all about the fact that you were in the middle of a grocery store aisle. 

you let him buy all the decorations he wants after that.

[neoneversleeps]

[9:33am] “there.” you pat the last of the snow into shape before standing back to look at your creation. you smile proudly at the boy who stands beside you, his head tilted as he examines your work. 

“hmm…”

“what?” you question as chenle continues to stare down the snowman in front of you. suddenly, he springs into action from where he'd been frozen in place, taking off his scarf and wrapping it around the snowman's neck. 

“there, now it’s perfect.” 

chenle gives you his brightest smile as he turns to you. in response, you wrap your arms around his middle and press your nose against chenle’s neck. the boy squirms a little at the cold of the tip of your nose but still wraps his own arms around your frame. you smile at the snowman before you. 

“yeah, now it’s perfect.”

[5:37pm] the familiar jingle of the bell above the store entrance alerts you to the arrival of a new customer. the bell had been ringing a lot more often these past days, dozens of parents coming to browse to find a gift for their little ones now that christmas day was nearing. as you lifted your head to the get a glimpse of the customer, your eyes recognized the mop of peroxide blonde hair over the shelf. the only oddball mixed between the stream of parents that usually sidled in, a young man around your age, sharp features and a very distinguishing hair color among the usual natural tones.

this was the third time he had entered the shop in the past week. he never bought anything, just browsed the shelves with apparent interest before disappearing again. normally you were to busy to strike up conversation, but now, you were alone in the store. 

“you never buy anything.” the boy freezes in the middle of lifting up a lego star wars set. 

he clears his throat, his gaze still fixed on the toy. “i- uh i’m having trouble picking something out for my little cousin.” at this, you step out from behind the cash register and settle next to the boy. 

“well maybe i can help with that.” upon closer inspection, you could see the blush on the boys cheeks, still avoiding you. he held in a breath as if looking for the right thing to say before he seemed to sag in defeat. 

“okay, here goes.” he scratches the back of his neck. “the truth is i’ve been coming in here for the past three days to try and ask for your number….” 

he trails off and you can’t help the small laugh that bubbles out of your throat. “well,” you step closer so that the guy is forced to look at you. 

“i think i can definitely help with that.”

[neoneversleeps]

[6:42pm] “come on, sicheng! you’ve got to look at least a little festive!” your friend and coworker shakes his head at you. 

“no! this is ridiculous, y/n. i’m not going to a worker’s party in costume.” you pout at his words, dressed in a cute santa outfit with pretty silver eyeshadow decorating your lids. 

“at least wear a santa hat? or antlers?” you’re downright pleading at this point. sicheng meets your puppy dog eyes, which is a big mistake on his part, and feels his resolve crumble. he rolls his eyes. 

“fine, antlers it is.” you smile brilliantly as sicheng bends forward so you can slip a pair of antlers on his head.

before the both of you head out, you turn to sicheng, placing a quick peck on his cheek and giggling at his shy face. sicheng’s heart stutters wildly in his chest, small smile blossoming at the warmth your kiss left behind. 

his smile and heart plummet however, as he follows you out on the street and sees your fingers slip through those of your boyfriend.

[7:10pm] kunhang hands you another piece of sparkling silver tinsel as he himself focuses on slinging the long cable filled with lights around the base of the tree. your masterwork is steadily taking shape after about an hour of decorating, your combined christmas playlist accompanying you in the background. 

finishing with the tinsel, you step back to admire your work, kunhang finishing up with the lights as he hums lowly to himself. you incline your head to the side, narrowing your eyes at the tree. something’s missing.

“ah!” turning to look through the box of decorations, you pull out the last missing piece. “the star!”

kunhang chuckles at your enthusiasm and stands up. you lean forward on your feet, trying to place the star on the tree whilst almost stumbling forward. you realize with a huff that you’re a little too small for the task. 

“need some help?” kunhangs arms wrap around your waist before you can even answer, hosting you up so you can reach the top. once the star is placed, kunhang lowers you back down, his arms not leaving your waist as he places his chin on your shoulder. 

“it’s beautiful.” you comment softly, leaning back against your boyfriend. 

“yeah, and it’s ours.”

[neoneversleeps]

[4:34pm] lucas stops you just as you’re about to enter the kitchen. your gaze wanders up from his hand on your arm to his eyes, and you raise a questioning eyebrow at him. with a small wiggle of his own eyebrows, he takes your chin between his fingers and directs your gaze upwards. 

sure enough, your eyes land on the mistletoe lucas had managed to sneakily place in the middle of the doorway, well out of your reach. you chuckle and shake your head with a smile at his cheekiness, but oblige his silent request anyways, rising on your tippy toes to slot your lips over his.

[neoneversleeps]

[12:48am] “jaem?” your boyfriend hums in response from the kitchen, letting you know he’s listening. “do you prefer polar express or rudolph?”

“i’m down with whatever you choose.” jaemin’s answer filters softly through your apartment and you huff, eyes moving between both movie choices. 

after a quick mental game of eenie meenie you settle on polar express and slip the dvd out of its case to pop into your computer. its an old model you’ve had forever, and the only reason you still keep it around despite your new one is because it functions as a dvd player. 

you settle yourself into a cozy spot on your couch, wrapping a fluffy blanket around your legs. jaemin comes in with some hot cocos that he set off on the table and a plate of home baked cookies which he places on your lap before he presses play on the movie and flops down next to you, snuggling up to you as you happily munch on a cookie. 

halfway through the movie, jaemin looks up to find you fast asleep already. he knows how tired you’ve been all week.quietly, he removes the plate of cookies from your lap before moving you into a different position, so that your head is resting comfortably on jaemins chest. 

jaemin continues watching the film with a smile on his face due to a very adorable sleeping you cuddled up in his arms.

[neoneversleeps]

[12:21pm] you swing your legs happily as you sit on one of the high stools at your favorite coffee shop, eyes sweeping over the shoppers that walk around the mall through the glass window. distantly, you take note of the fact that this is the fifth time you had heard “all i want for christmas is you” that morning. a loud thud pulls you out of your thoughts. 

doyoung places both your drinks down with a huff. “dear god, kill me.” 

you chuckle as he hops up onto the stool only to let his head fall forward onto the table. after taking a sip of your favorite drink, you lean towards your boyfriends slumped over body. “what’s wrong, baby?” 

“if i have to listen to that song one more time I swear-” doyoung groans in annyance. 

you gasp dramatically. “but it’s a classic!”

“an overplayed classic maybe..” your boyfriend grumbles as he takes a sip of his drink. you let out a giggle at his scrunched up face. 

“you’re cute when you’re grumpy.” 

“am not.”

“are too.” to prove your point, you reach over to squish his cheeks between your hand. “my cute little grumpy christmas bunny.” doyoung rolls his eyes as you remove your hand and place a kiss to his skin, but his cheeks turn a rosy colour either way.

[neoneversleeps]

[3:56pm] “oh! how about this one?” you excitedly pull your boyfriend along as you bound over to the next rack filled with sweaters, eyes fixated on the green fuzzy piece of clothing with a cheery looking reindeer sewn into its fabric, small jingling bells decorating it’s antlers. Kun gives you what can only be described as a judgy look after he diverts his eyes from the sweater. 

“why can’t we do something a little more subtle?” he walks over to another rack nearby, quickly browsing through its content before pulling out an option. “like this one?” the sweater is red with varying patterns of different sized snowflakes. admittedly, its prettier, but the cute little reindeer is staring at you from where its still clutched in your hand and you know that you’ve decided. kun seems to know it too as he watches the way your eyes trail back down to the sweater you picked. 

with a sigh, he hangs his own choice back on the clothing rack and comes over to pick out a reindeer sweater in his size. “fine, let’s get the reindeer.” 

your face lights up like a child on christmas morning as you beam at him and kun can’t help but chuckle before squishing your cheeks and placing a quick peck to your nose, any hint of his previous annoyance gone without a trace.

[neoneversleeps]

[7:59am] you force your eyes open with great difficulty as a few rays of the morning sun touch against your face. trying to sit up to look around, you groan as you feel a sharp pain shoots through your head, slowly becoming aware of how heavy your body felt. a cough finds its way up and out of your throat and you wince as the action makes your head pound violently. 

the padding of footsteps against the floor outside your room makes your head turn toward your door. not a second later jeno opens it, making sure to push the door quietly. “hey you.” he says softly as he sits down beside you on the bed, right hand coming up brush over your hair. you hum weakly in response and jeno’s smile turns a little worried. “i’ll bring you some food and water. i made chicken noodle soup.”

“no!” you whine in protest, trying to wiggle out of your blankets despite your aching joints. “we’re supposed to go out today!” 

“sorry, baby. plans cancelled!” jeno squishes your cheeks as you pout. “but don’t worry, ive got a new plan. today i'm gonna take care of you!” you still pout at him. “that’s the new plan, in case you didn’t know.”

you snort, coughing a little in the process and nod your head in understanding. 

“ok, well i’ll be right back!”

“wait, jeno!” you reach your arms out in a grabby motion and jeno complies, wrapping you up in a tight hug and placing a few soft kisses to your forehead. you smile, maybe having a cold day wasn't so bad after all. 

[neoneversleeps]

[10:00pm] your giggles come out in puffs of white as you stumble through the back door of your family’s house, clinging onto yangyang’s arm. he pulls you with him as you trudge through the snow, aiming to get further away from the line of sight of the kitchen’s windows. once you reach the small bench hidden away at the edge of your garden, you collapse onto it with a huff, bursting into another fit of giggles. you can both feel the buzz of alcohol, finding pretty much anything amusing. 

“oh i’m so glad we’re outside. i mean, no offense, but your family’s christmas parties really get worse every year.” 

“none taken.” you chuckle, leaning your heavy head on his coat clad shoulders as you snuggle against your best friend. he slips his fingers into yours after a while, and the both of you sit comfortably in each others presence.

your head feels heavy against yangyangs shoulders, and your eyelids droop further as you find yourself drifting further. distantly you register the way yangyang’s lips press against your temple with a whisper. 

“i love you, y/n.” 

you barely manage to mumble out a response. “love you too, yangie.” 

he smiles, but it’s bitter, because those words don’t mean the same to you as they do to him.

Lee Donghyuck. The cheery youthful boy with the red rosy cheeks and wide smile who lived down the street. The boy who played soccer in the fields of the nearby park, bright blue shorts and pink knees stained with green and brown patches. The boy whose laugh sounded like a burst of color, the sound fading through shades of pink and red and orange and yellow. The colors of happiness. The boy whose caramel colored skin was dotted with freckles and moles.

The boy who embodied the sun. Embodied the hues of pink and lilac when it rose in the morning, the yellow light as it shone through the day and the red glow as it set for the night.

Donghyuck was colors. He lived and breathed in them and the painstaking irony of it all,  was that he’d never get to see them. 

Achromatopsia.

[11:02am] “jisung!” you near screech as a ball of white splatters against your chin, the cold snow trickling down your neck and under the collar of your coat. you hear your boyfriend snicker as he runs in the opposite direction. “oh, you are dead meat!” laughing almost wickedly, you scoop up a particularly large portion of snow and start to chase after the boy. 

jisung cuts a corner, aiming to evade you, but accidently comes face to face with a dead end. just as he turns with wide eyes to face you, you launch the snowball directly at his forehead. jisung shrieks and tumbles back, the white flakes decorating his hair and face. he splutters as he tries to remove the bits of snow from his tongue. “ow. that was mean, y/n.” jisung whines as he trudges in your direction. 

“hey! you hit me in the face too. now we’re even.” you smile up at the tall boy’s pout, not being able to resist giving his squishy cheek a small tug with how adorable he looked. all pink faced and bundled up in his oversized coat. 

“fine, i guess you’re right. we’re even.” the two of you just stare fondly at each other, until you realize it had started snowing once again. suddenly, jisung leaps back into acton, pushing past you to get to his little mountain of snow. “rematch before we have to go inside?” 

too startled by his sudden move to start running, you turn to his voice without thought and are hit by another snowball, right in the face.

“hey! i thought we agreed that we’re even!”

“we are now!”
