"Another day of snow," murmured Joonmyeon as he glanced at Jongdae who was scoffing at walking into a puddle again

“Yeah, I know.” retorted Jongdae, kicking his left foot out, shaking his shoe of excess water, “Can you move over and let me walk on the sidewalk too?” whined Jongdae pouting to his cousin

“Just walk behind me, “ sighed Joonmyeon, hoisting up the box of presents in his arms, “And would it kill you to help me carry these?”

“And ruin my new tie?” asked Jongdae rhetorically, “And please, I never walk behind anyone!”

Joonmyeon groaned and ignored his cousin who was still walking in the streets, stomping in puddles as he went. It was a few days before Christmas, it started snowing late last night, and Joonmyeon was late getting to the cafe; he spent too much time wrapping presents this morning that he forgot about the time.

Jongdae, being the boss that he was, decided when and what time he wanted to go to work. Today he decided to bother Joonmyeon and follow the other around while complaining about anything and everything.  I mean seriously, who else was going to let him rant and not give their input or tell him to shut up? Certainly not Joonmyeon.

“Why are you even bothering going in today?” asked Jongdae out loud, “This blizzard isn’t going to ease up anytime soon.”

“Force of habit?” answered Joonmyeon, “Plus Minseok hyung being home, makes the place a little too crowded for me.”

“It’s your place,” grumbled Jongdae, “You could have told him to stay with your parents, or got him a room.”

“No, that would be rude.” retorted Joonmyeon, “My place is too small for two people, so naturally I would feel overwhelmed  having more than one person in my place.”

“Plus it’s only for a few days,” insisted Joonmyeon, “It’s alright, I’ll manage.”

Jongdae rolled his eyes and stomped into another puddle, shouting when he felt the cold water seep through his socks. Okay, this was the fourth puddle he walked in the last twenty minutes. Enough was enough!

Joonmyeon gave him an incredulous stare as he jumped onto the sidewalk, almost knocking his cousin to the wet ground. Jongdae pushed Joonmyeon out of the way and started to yell as he shook his feet, trying to get rid of the water.

“I told you to walk behind me,” argued Joonmyeon, rolling his eyes. “This is simply your fault for never listening to me!”

“News flash Joon,” snapped Jongdae, stomping his foot, “No one listens to you! And I already said I don’t walk behind no one!”

“You’re being overly dramatic,” scoffed Joonmyeon, “No one would think less of you if you walked behind me. What’s wrong with walking behind me anyway?”

“Maybe because we are the same height and I wouldn’t be able to see crap behind you!” replied Jongdae

Joonmyeon rolled his eyes, talk about some people being petty. Sure they were about the same height, Joonmyeon always insisted Jongdae was a little taller. Joonmyeon was about to tell Jongdae he was being unreasonable but was silenced when he saw his cousin had walked away and was standing close to the hill overlooking the park below.

“What are you doing?” Asked Joonmyeon slowly as he eyed his cousin who had long forgotten about his wet shoes and was staring down the hill like a madman.

“When was the last time we went sledding?” Asked Jongdae not taking his eyes off the perfect snow covered hill

“Um…” Mumbled Joonmyeon nervously, looking away.

Jongin checked his watch and saw that only two minutes had passed since he last checked. He glanced over at the closed lecture hall door where Sehun was currently inside, taking the last test of the year.

Jongdae had called him a hour ago, practically shouting into his ear that caused several students to give him  weird looks, to hurry over to the park near the café and bring an empty trash bag. Jongin was confused as to why his older brother would request such a thing but nonetheless said okay and hung up. He than got a video message of Jongdae pointing at the hill and sliding down a hill on a small plastic bag while Joonmyeon filmed it. Joonmyeon turned the phone toward him and said “let's go sledding… His words not mine. Bring Sehun with you if you can!”

Jongin was excited, it had been awhile since he went sledding. Well, years actually. The last time they went sledding was four years ago when they made a sudden trip up north to a ski resort and went sledding in the middle of the night.

Jongin pulled out his phone and started to text random people, informing them of the improv sledding. The more the merrier! Baekhyun was the first to respond and told him as soon as he located the sleighs that were stored away, he and Yixing would be right over. Kyungsoo was second and told Jongin he was a crazy person, but he would meet him there at the park since Joonmyeon and Jongdae had already bombarded him about joining them. Minseok was the third, saying he would be there with Kyungsoo (Jongin was a little perplex at his cousin saying he was going there with Kyungsoo but quickly brushed it off). Chanyeol was the last to respond. He simply sent a ‘thumbs up’ emoji and later said ‘sounds good. Will be by when i’m done with work. You owe me a run down the hill.’

As he was finishing up a text to Chanyeol, the doors to the lecture hall opened and students started pouring out. Some of the students looked like they were about done with life and just wanted to sleep, while the other half looked like they were about to snap. Jongin looked over the students till he located a sullen tired looking Sehun who was one of the last students to leave the hall. Jongin pulled away from the pillar he had been leaning on and walked over to Sehun, waving slowly to the younger to get his attention. Sehun paused mid-step when he saw Jongin walking toward him with a grin.

“Hey,” greeted Jongin warmly

“‘Sup,” mumbled Sehun, blinking tiredly at the dance instructor

“You finish for the day,” said Jongin, like it wasn’t a question

Sehun nodded his head and let out a loud yawn. He stretched his arms over his head, sighing when he felt the kink in his back pop and his muscles in his back relax.

“Yep.” answered Sehun simply, “I don’t wanna see another book for the next week. I wanna sleep.”

“Sounds like a plan,” grinned Jongin, reaching out and ruffling Sehun’s hair, “Before you slip into a coma, wanna go somewhere with me?”

“Where?” asked Sehun, making a face and pushing Jongin's hand away from his hair

“To the park,” replied Jongin, “to illegally sleigh down a hill.”

“Say what?” asked Sehun, staring at his teacher/friend with wide eyes.

“You heard me,” grinned Jongin, “So you in? Everyone is already heading over there.”

“By illegal you mean-” started Sehun, looking startled

“We sled till we get kicked out of the park,” smirked Jongin, “I doubt we will get caught. No one has been able to outrun the lot of us. So you wanna go sledding?”

“I don’t have a sleigh,” muttered Sehun, staring down at his feet, blushing slightly

“Neither do I.” replied Jongin with a shrug, “But that’s not stopping me from going down with a trash bag, or stealing someone else’s sleigh. Mainly Baekhyun’s sleigh since he actually has one.”

“It’s a snowing outside,” reasoned Sehun, looking unsure

“All the more reason to go sledding,” reasoned back Jongin, taking Sehun’s messenger bag and throwing it over his shoulder, “Come on Sehun, go sledding with me.”

Sehun bit his lower lip and fidgeted where he stood. He didn’t know what to do. Sledding sounds fun, but he wasn’t sure either if he should be out in the cold with only a hoodie and no real winter coat.

“I’ll buy you hot chocolate if you go with  me.” offered Jongin with an enticing grin

Sehun stared at Jongin for a moment before he slowly nodded his head.

“Wait! Not yet!” cried Baekhyun

“Baby, you’re kinda holding up the line,” pointed out Yixing looking back and seeing Jongdae and Minseok behind them before turning back to his boyfriend who was sitting in between his legs but was digging his heels into the ground to prevent them from going down.

“Hurry up already!” shouted Jongdae, “Sheesh, you always get like this when it’s your turn!”

“It’s a steep hill!” snapped Baekhyun, glaring up at Jongdae from here he was sitting

“You went down it four times already!” yelled Jongdae, “Why should this time be any different! I’ll push you down myself!”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” said Minseok quickly, pulling his brother back

“You hurt my byunnie and I’ll throw you down the hill!” threaten Yixing giving his friend a look, “He just gets a little anxious, give us a minute.”

Jongdae threw his hands up in the air, stormed off and said he was going to go look for the s he should give and when he comes back, they had better be gone. Minseok rolled his eyes and smiled apologetically at Yixing who returned the smile before looking back to Baekhyun who was clearly pouting.

Yixing gently poked at the puffed up cheek of Baekhyun’s and leaned forward kiss said cheek. Yixing smiled when he felt Baekhyun relax and lean back on him. He gently nudged Baekhyun’s knees, signalling him to release and lift his legs up.

“I got you baby,” whispered Yixing, wrapping an arm around his boyfriend, “Let’s go down the hill now.”

Yixing gently pushed them down when he saw Baekhyun raise his legs up slightly. They both shouted, Yixing out of glee, Baekhyun out of shock. Yixing was laughing out loud when they arrived at the bottom and both slipped off the sleigh. He was still laughing when he sat up and saw Baekhyun was shaking in silent laughter too. Yixing quickly pulled his boyfriend to safety when he heard Jongdae shouting as he went down the hill at lightening speed, Minseok standing at the top laughing at his younger brother. Yixing barely pulled Baekhyun to his feet when Jongdae when whizzing by and crashed into the bushes near by.

“Serves him right,” muttered Baekhyun, sticking his tongue out at Jongdae

Minseok was still laughing as he arranged two bowl looking sleighs next to each other. He had secretly put baby oil on the bottom of Jongdae’s sleigh to make it go faster. Minseok had been dying to use it on someone and his best friend/ cousin was the perfect choice. He was carefully anchoring the sleighs when Kyungsoo walked up, holding out a warm pack to the elder. Minseok took it gratefully and pointed down at the sleighs.

“Wanna try?” he asked lightly

“Is it safe?” asked Kyungsoo carefully, eyeing the objects, “I saw what you did to Jong-”

“I only did that because he was being a brat.” interrupted Minseok with a grin, “And besides, he wanted to go faster.” he reasoned

Minseok smiled when he heard a soft snort come from Kyungsoo as he dug his boot into the snow.

“Sure,” said Kyungsoo, “I guess it’ll be fun. I mean, you already have the sleighs ready and everything.”

Minseok assisted Kyungsoo onto the sleigh, making sure the plastic sleigh didn’t go down before Kyungsoo sat down. He held onto the back as Kyungsoo carefully tucked his feet into the sleigh, looking absolutely small and adorable as he did so. Minseok mused to himself that Kyungsoo looked like a baby penguin but knew better than to say that outloud. Kyungsoo didn’t like being referred to as small and adorable in the same sentence.

“You ready?” said Minseok into Kyungsoo’s ear, noting the faint pink color dusting the other's cheeks as he spoke.

“Yep.” said Kyungsoo simply, giving Minseok a thumbs up.

“1, 2, 3!” yelled Minseok as he pushed Kyungsoo down the hill.

Kyungsoo shouted, looking startled. On impulse he reached back and grabbed whatever was behind him, which happened to be Minseok. Minseok let out a startled shout and fell forward, colliding with Kyungsoo who also shouted and held onto Minseok as they slid of the sleigh and started rolling down the hill.

They could hear Joonmyeon and Yixing shout at them while Jongdae laughed and say something along the lines of “karma is a ” and Baekhyun scream and shout to Minseok not to hurt his Satansoo. Minseok wrapped his arms around Kyungsoo and held him tight as they rolled down to the bottom. Once they stopped rolling, Minseok sighed and pulled away to assess the situation. His heart stopped when he saw Kyungsoo was shaking.

“Kyungsoo,” breathed Minseok, gently turning the smaller male on his side, “Kyungsoo, are you alright?”

He got his answer when he saw Kyungsoo was laughing silently, eyes clenched tightly as his face turned red. Kyungsoo was wheezing but he rolled out of Minseok’s arms and sat up, trying to catch is breath.

“That was awesome!” shouted Kyungsoo, throwing his arms in the air

“You’re not hurt?” asked Minseok dumbstruck at Kyungsoo’s laughing face

“Are you kidding?” asked Kyungsoo incredulously, staring up at Minseok’s puzzled face, “That was even better than I thought it would be.”

Minseok blushed when he saw Kyungsoo was smiling directly at him, looking winded but ecstatic. His flushed face only got worst when Kyungsoo got to his feet and pulled him up as well, dusting off the snow from his jacket.

“Come on let's do that again!” grinned Kyungsoo excitedly, “maybe with the sled this time!”

Minseok dumbly nodded and let himself be dragged up the hill.

Sehun was inspecting the hill when he heard Jongin shout his name, startling him. He turned around and saw Jongin was running toward him, with one of Baekhyun’s sleighs in his hands while the shorter male was running after him. Sehun pointed at Baekhyun who seemed to have given up chasing Jongin and was now just shouting at him and throwing sad snowballs at the tan male. Jongin flashed him a sneaky grin pulled him to the ground where he placed the sled.

“Hurry before he comes over!” said Jongin in a rushed tone

Sehun barely had time to comprehend what Jongin had said to him when he felt himself being moved onto the sled with Jongin right behind him. Sehun’s eyes widen he looked down the hill and saw that it was very high, not to mention steep.

“Wait, wait, wait!” shouted Sehun, “Maybe we shouldn’t go together, this looks very ste-AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!”

Jongin was laughing whole heartedly as they went down the hill. Sehun was waving his arms around while screaming with his eyes closed.

The ride was a lot shorter than he thought, as Sehun stopped screaming and noticed they were down the hill already. Jongin quickly got up and held out his hand for Sehun to use. Sehun meekly took it and stood up, wobbling as he steadied himself.

“Wow, that was quick,” muttered Sehun

“That’s what she said,” replied Jongin

“You would know,” said Jongdae suddenly appearing next to them, “She’s always saying about you, quick draw.”

Sehun couldn’t help but laugh as he watch Jongin chase down his brother telling him he was gross and he shouldn’t say things like that in front of innocent Sehun.

Chanyeol arrived as the snow started to ease up and everyone was looking exhausted from playing all morning and afternoon. He held up several take-out bags and apologized for being so late. Jongdae threw his arms around Chanyeol and said he was an angel for bringing food. No one wanted to leave to get anything.

“Is it still okay to have a few runs at the hill?” asked Chanyeol hopefully,

“Have at it,” smiled Yixing, offering up one of his sleds,

“Anyone wanna go down with me?” asked Chanyeol looking around his friends with puppy like eyes,

“I’ll go,” offered Sehun, moving from his spot between Jongin and Joonmyeon

Chanyeol beamed at him and looked around more time to see if anyone else wanted to join. He smiled when he saw Baekhyun move away from Yixing and jump over to him, hugging his arm saying he was in. Kyungsoo rolled his eyes and offered to go too.

“How are all three of you going to fit with him?” asked Joonmyeon with a surprise smile

“I’m sure we can all squeeze onto his lap,” reasoned Baekhyun with a shrug

“Say what?” said Minseok, Jongin, and Yixing in unison

“We’ve done it before, right Kyungsoo?” said Baekhyun with a wave of his hand

“Chose your words wisely, dummy,” muttered Kyungsoo shaking his head, “But yes, we have done it  before.”

Minseok and Jongin’s jaw dropped while Yixing stared at his boyfriend confused. The other four paid no attention to them as they walked toward the hill. Meanwhile Jongdae shouted and said his ‘Ho Ho Ho’ sweater was totally justified by that statement. Joonmyeon shook his head and said everyone was filthy minded.

Chanyeol placed the sled down, instructing Sehun to sit down first. Sehun did as he was told and sat down first without a second thought. Chanyeol then sat down in front of Sehun, he instructed for the younger to tuck his legs under his while he anchored them. When Sehun had folded his legs under his, Chanyeol looked up at Baekhyun and Kyungsoo and told them to sit on either side of him, on his lap. With everyone piling up on the tiny sleigh, they couldn’t help but laugh and comment at the tight fit.

“Chanyeol your thighs have gotten thicker,” commented Baekhyun, “It’s no longer boney.”

“It’s kinda nice,” muttered Kyungsoo, wiggling around and wrapping his arms around Sehun’s to keep him up right, “You doing okay Sehun?”

“Yeah,” mumbled Sehun, “You guys aren’t exactly sitting on me, so, I’m good.”

“Sehun you have long legs,” praised Baekhyun, “You have long legs like Chanyeol!”

“Thanks?”

“Okay you guys ready?” said Chanyeol in a shaky voice, “I’m going to let go and we are gonna go down.”

“Ready!”

“1, 2, 3,”

Chanyeol let go and wrapped his arms around his two friends in his lap. He could hear Baekhyun scream gleefully and Sehun laugh. Kyungsoo buried his face into Chanyeol’s arm, laughing. Chanyeol raised his arms and relished in the cold wind blowing through his hair and his friends laughing around him. His stomach was somersaulting at the speed they were going. The sled turned with them as they got near the bottom. Chanyeol laughed when he heard Baekhyun scream for his boyfriend and Sehun cling to him. They came to a slow stop, everyone slowly falling off the sled, laughing.

“That was awesome,” said Sehun after a while

“Told you it was possible,” muttered Baekhyun, raising his fist in the air

“Let's go again,” sighed Kyungsoo, “After I catch my breath.”

“Word.” said Chanyeol simply as he gently knocked his fist with Baekhyun’s

*

The temperature had dropped to near freezing when everyone decided to go to Joonmyeon cafe for some warm drinks and dinner. By than, Sehun had practically glued himself to Chanyeol and Kyungsoo (much to Minseok and Jongin’s displeasure), allowing himself to be babied by the two.

Baekhyun laughed at Sehun hugging Kyungsoo as Jongin eyed him from where he was walking. He looked over to his side and noticed Yixing wasn’t with him. Confused, Baekhyun turned around and saw Yixing was several yards behind, talking on the phone, speaking in his native tongue. Telling the others they will catch up, Baekhyun walked back to his boyfriend, who had noticed him and was quickly trying to end the conversation.

Baekhyun may not be fluent, but he knew a few words and could maintain a conversation in mandarin so he picked up on what Yixing was saying on the phone.

“Don’t misunderstand the photos,” assured Yixing, “But I just wanted...It’s fine….If you're so worried than do something about it.”

Baekhyun tilted his head in confusion. Who was he talking to?”

“I have to go,” sighed Yixing, “Interpret that however you want but I just wanted to...No, good bye.”

“Who was that?” asked Baekhyun as soon as Yixing put his phone away

“A client,” sighed Yixing, “just had a minor mix up is all, got it cleared up.”

“Uh-huh, a client.” repeated Baekhyun, eyeing his boyfriend carefully

“Yep.” nodded Yixing innocently, “Come on, let's catch up to everyone.”

Baekhyun didn’t have a chance to argue as Yixing dragged him forward, pulling him till they got to the cafe. He will ask more about who this ‘client’ was and exactly what photos was Yixing talking about.
