christmas is better these past two years than ever before, if she’s being honest. and while christmas cheer is definitely abound in their little household, it holds a hidden, somber threat to its fragility. it’s their one year as a couple, and their last month together before kibum has to move into the dorms for convex. in hopes of staying the inevitable, it’s an unspoken promise that this will be their best month- even if neither of them can plan anything special for their anniversary.
childfund korea has been an organization that she’s always adored and is one of the organizations that is helping fund the shelter her father has given her the opportunity to design; spending a day with a few selected families for christmas is definitely one of the ways she would enjoy since she can’t be alone with kibum nowadays.
they’re supposed to be elves, chatting with parents and entertaining the children in a way of giving back this season. when the opportunity for a break surfaces she (unintentionally, maybe) finds her way to kibum, and the child he’s interacting with. “wow!” she exclaims upon approach, pointing at the boy’s santa hat with a grin, “you have a hat just like him, you know!” when the child giggles, she turns to kibum (they can’t forget to act the part, and rachel loves the idea anyway), “doesn’t he have such a realistic hat? i couldn’t even make one that good. he must be a favorite of santa’s.”
