Tears were running down your face much like how the snow fell onto the ground beneath your feet. Having your heart torn into two was painful enough, but having it stamped on the night before Christmas just added a mound of salt to the wound. You had always thought you and Johnny would last, between his endearing nature and your attentiveness, it just seemed right, but then again most things feel right before something comes to ruin it.
A bench covered in a clean blanket of snow was calling your name and so you sat there, not caring how soaked your jeans would be, and just cried harder. Thinking back on everything and letting everything out into the cold winter night.
It had been a few months since you and Johnny had broke up and you were feeling fine. Of course the occasional thought of him would cross your mind but now instead of crying, you would smile and think about the memories of him. Daffodils and the smell of april showers had become an ever present stay this spring and oh how you loved it. The new term had started and you had already bumped into him a couple times and while you avoided speaking, or even looking at him, you would miss the way he would glance at you. the way he would turn to look back at you as you went on your way to the library.
He missed you. He fucked up but god did he miss having you around. He missed your laugh, your voice, he missed those mundane moments where he would realise how lucky he was to even know you and be able to call you his.
Summer couldn't have come any sooner. Exams had completely drained you and because of this, one of your friends suggested having a picnic in the park which you happily agreed to. And so you found yourself on a perfect day day in the park, munching on strawberries and grapes having a good laugh with your friends.
Unbeknownst to you, Johnny and a few of his friends had decided to come for a hangout of their own. As they made their way onto the grass claiming a spot near your group, you locked eyes for a moment, and just smiled at each other. You felt more at peace with yourself and being near him. Johnny still loved you though and he still very much regretted letting you go but he would take what he could and so your smile made him beam.
Between the two groups there were many mutual connections and so within the ten minutes of them arriving and constant calling to each other, Johnny and his friends made their way to join your, now very crowded, picnic blanket. An hour had gone by, stolen looks between you and Johnny going unnoticed by your friends. Another hour and you had moved to sit next to Johnny, just wanting to catch up. You forgot how many butterflies he gave you, how much he made you smile but you were keeping your guard up. Having your heart broken was one thing but falling in love with the person that did it was another thing entirely.
During your joint picnic both parties felt like taking a trip to the beach and so you split into different cars and drove down, where you were greeted by friends or your friends. The sun had just set, the sky was still tinted with pinks and oranges and a bonfire had been started. A few of the boys had gone out to get alcohol and so a party had indeed started. You took a seat beside the fire with a drink of sorts in your hand. You were always up for a good party but you were feeling pretty exhausted and the only thing on your mind was getting into bed and waking up at midday. The sand beside your hand shift and you could feel someone sat next to you and to your surprise it was Johnny. A smile made its way onto your face as you began chatting to him. You really had missed talking to him and it felt as though you hadn't even broken up in the first place.
Autumn had arrived within a blink of an eye with orange and yellow leaves now carpeting parts of the pavement. It was a tradition of yours to take walks during the season. It wasn't too hot, wasn't too cold, and you weren't usually swamped with assignments so it was perfect. The crunch of leaves had always been one of your favourite sounds, it was calming to you.
This Wednesday walk was especially good for this as you visited a local park. For some reason they had the crunchiest, crisp sounding leaves. An hour into your stroll and you had bumped into a very familiar face. Johnny was sat on a bench, a cup of what you assumed to be coffee was in his hand and he was looking out into the field where dogs ran free.
Taking a seat on the bench you struck up a conversation and talked about anything and everything. Uni work, aliens and coffee along with a whole variety of things occupied the conversation and as the time went by, you eventually grew to sit closer, lean on his arm and once he placed his hand on top of yours the fireworks went boom.
Hand in hand he walked you back to your dorm, the sun being replaced by the moon and a thousand twinkling stars. With every step you took with him, every laugh you let out you felt more and more at home, the feelings of anger you held towards him last winter had all faded. You felt as though you were falling in love all over again, and maybe you shouldn't be. Maybe you should be more cautious. But you couldn't help yourself when he made you feel like you're the only one he wants to be with.
No matter how many times you experience it, the chilly winter breeze always catches you off guard. Exam season was just around the corner and Johnny had texted you to meet him in front of a cafe and so with a small skip in your step, you began the trek there. To say he was nervous was an understatement. He knew how much he did wrong by you, how much regret he had since but somewhere inside his mind there was a small spec of hope. Hope you would say yes and take him back, for you to be his again and for him to be yours.
As you rounded the corner there you saw Johnny which instantly put a smile onto your face. With no thought, you started running towards him and as he turned to you, he caught you into a bear hug, and what you swear was a light kiss to the top of your head. He held you for a moment, he was too scared to let go, while you were still scared to admit you had fallen back in love with him.
Eventually you pulled away and on went your little coffee date. Fairy lights hung around the room, plants decorated the corners and shelves around the room and snow had just begun to fall. Everything felt perfect. That evening you went to bed with a smile on your face. You recalled back to earlier in the day. Johnny had your hands in his, and with a hint of nervousness in his voice, asked if he could be yours. In that moment you didn't need to think, you let your heart take over and said yes.
This winter was certainly different than last year and you were so glad you were finally back in his arms.
Note: hi issy! Iām your secret santa! Iāve enjoyed talking to you and sorry I wasnāt activeš„ŗbut hereās my gift to you, so I hope itās okay and Merry Christmas!āļø
The days were indeed getting colder and longer as finals were wrapping up for the semester. You let out a sigh of relief once you submitted your last final and could start you break. While you were happy that itās Christmas soon you were still feeling a bit down. Your boyfriend decided to do his semester at home and didnāt know if he would be back in time to celebrate with you. You tried to reassure Xiaojun in every phone call that you would be okay but he just was not having it.
āI just donāt want to disappoint you.ā
āYouāre not going to disappoint me. Besides we have the New Year to celebrate and that will be more fun. And youāll be home.ā Xiaojun sighed but agreed with you. With a last āI love youā he let you go so you could spend some time with your friends and enjoy your dinner together before heading home. But once again, you still felt a little sad because you were missing just one more person. Your friends took noticed and tried their best to cheer you up and it worked for the time being.
āHeāll be home soon, right now we need to dig into these desserts because oh my gosh! They look amazing!ā You laughed and spent the rest of the night with a smile upon your face. The next cold morning you decided to make a trip to your local cafe, the one where you and Xiaojun actually met.
You loved coming to this cafe as sweet memories played through your mind. You probably looked a little strange as you had a lovesick expression while ordering your things. You just were still missing him. But you were snapped out of your thoughts when someone placed a treat on the counter next to you and you felt a familiar presence behind you.
āIāll take care of this order today. Itās my treat.ā
āXiaojun! What are you doing here?!ā You threw your arms around your boyfriend, squeezing him as tight as you could as he wrapped his arms you.
āI wanted to surprise you for Christmas! I managed to get here early so I could finally see my girl.ā Your heart melted and you felt some tears gather in your eyes. You buried yourself deep into him as he rubbed your back while still holding you. He missed you so much and is so happy to have you back in his arms again.
āI love you so much.ā
āI love you too, please donāt go anywhere for the next semester.ā He laughed before leaving a warm kiss against your temple. After your reunion you spent so many hours in that cafe, never letting go of each otherās hand as you both told stories of the semester.
Once you filled your full tummies with laughter you were back home, head in his shoulder as he sang Christmas songs to you on his guitar, making you smile in awe that heās finally back home with you.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! @peachhyychenle

Hi, Iāve returned from the hole that is final projectsš„²Iām so ready for this semester to be over with.
But that still sounds nice! I hope you all have a great time and hopefully eat lots of yummy foodāŗļøIām the same way, I donāt really have any traditions with my parents. Other than we watch these specific Hallmark Christmas movies (theyāre actually quite funny and not all that cheesy) but thatās itš
I got into kpop in 2016 as well! And I found Nct 127 specifically when they had their cherry bomb comeback (itās a long weird story) but same as you, I didnāt really stan them till 2018. But Touch was such a great concept, I loved the soft look for the boys, I hope the do that again because it was so cuteš„ŗš
Do you have a favorite Nct era? It can be any unitāŗļø
-Secret Santaāļø
hello, welcome back, i hope finals went well! haha same, i have four essays due in by the end of the week then i can chill
you know, i don't think i've ever seen a hallmark christmas film before lmao,, you'll have to recommend me a few!
yeah, like i remember seeing the dreamies debut but then thinking they looked too young and i would never get into them,, now look where we are š ahh same it was such a soft era, i really wish for them to do it again too!
ooo i think my favourite era must be superhuman. i loved the concept and the mini album, plus it always reminds me of the world tour and when i went to go see them at the London stop!! i think besides that, my other favourite eras are moonwalk and we go up!
Hi! Iām sorry I disappeared for a bit, Iāve got final projects to doš(hate it here tbh)
But noted! Since Christmas is around the corner (if you celebrate it) do you have any traditions or watch certain movies for the season? Also how did you get into nct or kpop in general?
-secret santaāļø
omg it's okay, don't worry about it!! i hope you finish everything in time!
i do celebrate christmas but don't really have any traditions besides from like putting up the tree or anything so. i know this year before we leave to go home, my housemates and i are holding a mini christmas dinner which should be fun! are you doing anything exciting for christmas? (if you celebrate)
oh gosh, i got into kpop back in 2016 but didn't start stanning nct until 2018. i saw jaehyun in those blue glasses in touch and instantly wanted to know more! how about you?
But what made you want to study sociology? Also for your story, I see you are multi-biased (I do not blame ya, thereās too many of them) is there a specific member you would prefer or does it not matter for you? And is there a specific trope you absolutely love or are you neutral on that as well?
-Secret Santaāļø
aww no, you should try it!! i tend to put in a lot of sugar but that's just because i have a sweet tooth š the peaches and cream sound really nice! oh wow that's so cool!! i actually wasn't planning on doing it at all, but cause of something that happened, i chose it as one of my a-levels and loved it and so here we are!! you can surprise me with the member and trope, but at the minute i'm loving college aus, and coffee shop aus!
