Even though it was Christmas Eve, the airport was filled with people, anxiously waiting for the flight back home. Most of them were probably going back home, hoping to reach home in time for Christmas. Yoona was slightly luckier than most of them, to be able to spend her Christmas Eve with her family.

By the time Yoona was out of the immigration and collected her luggage, it was already 7 pm. She made her way to the taxi-stand, dragging two large luggage with her. The driver kindly helped to load them into the trunk.

"Happy Christmas Eve, Ahjussi! Can you please head to Nine One Hannam." Yoona greeted.

"Happy Christmas Eve to you too, young lady." The driver smiled, "Rushed back for Christmas?"

"Yeah," Yoona let out a contented sigh as she looked out of the window. "It's been long..."

Throughout the ride, Yoona and the driver shared little conversation from time to time. Yoona reached the apartment in less than 30 minutes, considering that it was the peak hour.

Yoona took out the excess card that Jiyong gave her before he returned to Korea. She went through the security effortlessly. However, since she was dragging two pieces of luggage with her, the security guard couldn't help but glance at her direction for the second time.

Yoona shot a smile in his direction and went straight to the lobby. Once she was in the elevator, pressing the '8' button, she let out a comfortable smile as the door closed. She has been waiting for this day since Jiyong left for Korea. Yoona cleared nervously, trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach.

Yoona headed to the apartment that felt all so familiar. She keyed in the pin code then, pushing the doorknob effortlessly.

She walked into the apartment quietly, trying her best to keep the noise at minimal. The first thing she saw was Jiyong's back view. He was facing the window, with his phone pressed against his ears.

"Omma, is that you?" Jiyong asked without turning around. "Seriously, this Im Yoona, I'm so going to kill her."

For the past one hour, Jiyong had been trying to contact Yoona. He was supposed to get ready for the Christmas Dinner tonight with the Im's and Kwon's. Yoona wasn't answering his call and, Jiyong being Jiyong, the worry freak, was panicking the entire time. Yoona did not answer his calls and Tiffany wasn't replying his text either.

Hearing his grumbles, Yoona almost let out a laugh. She took a deep breath and began walking towards him.

"I have been calling her since an hour ago! The last thing she told me was that she was going to get busy." Jiyong thought it was his mum and started blabbering. "Did she meet an accident? Omma, why are you no-"

"I'm not your mum." Yoona wrapped her arms around Jiyong's waist, with her cheeks pressed against his back. "I am pretty confident that Im Yoona is fine?"

It took a while for Jiyong to register what was happening. After absorbing her words, he pulled away from her arms, turning around to face her. Jiyong stared at Yoona with his eyes wide opened, couldn't believe that she was right in front of him. Yoona was smiling sweetly at him, tightening her arms around him.

Jiyong frowned, narrowing his eyes dangerously. When Yoona sensed that this was not going her way, she let go of her grip and started running away from Jiyong.

"Yah, Im Yoona!" Jiyong shouted, causing Yoona to jump a little.

"Do you think this is fun!"

Yoona grabbed Ai, who was lying comfortably on the couch, lifting her and held her in front of Jiyong.

"Im Yoona, you really-" Jiyong was about to start nagging at her.

"All I want was to give you a surprise!" Yoona defended herself and carried Ai in her arms, pouting away. "Aren't you surprised?"

"Surprise? If I were to wait any longer, I'll get a heart attack instead!"

Yoona let down Ai gently before wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I missed you!" Yoona whined. "You're not happy to see me?"

Jiyong looked at her with a poker face, frowning.

"Stop frowning, it's ugly." Yoona commented, "I am safe and sound! Most importantly, I am back in Korea!"

Jiyong couldn't help but laugh at her actions. He too, broke into a smile before pulling her closer.

"Why are you not getting ready? There's a dinner tonight, right?"

"All because of you, you little minx." Jiyong pinched her nose affectionally. "You got me worried sick."

"You should be happy! I ditched the after-party for you! How rare is that? Even the girls are laughing at me." Yoona cooled and pushed him towards the room. "Go get changed!"

"We're already late," Jiyong shook his head, "It's all your fault!"

"Yeah yeah, it's my fault." Yoona surrendered. "Go get change, will you?"

For the whole car ride back to the Kwon mansion, both of them were talking about work. This is what happens when you put two workaholics together. Both of them got off the car, while Yoona carried the presents that she bought for everyone.

Before they could take a step further, Yoona suddenly thought of something and pulled Jiyong.

"Y-Yah, wait a minute," Yoona called out, causing Jiyong to halt his steps.

"Yah?" Jiyong raised his brows at her, "Is that how you should call me? From the moment you reached, there aren't any kisses and now, Yah?"

"Why are you being sulky all of a sudden?" Yoona almost rolled her eyes, "I got something important to ask."

"Shoot."

"Our family still doesn't know about our relationship right?" Yoona asked and narrowed her eyes at Jiyong, "You didn't tell them, did you?"

"Why? Shouldn't we tell them already?" Jiyong wasn't pleased with her idea of wanting to hide.

"I-I'm not ready!" Yoona showed her puppy eyes, "We can tell them another time! There are still so many opportunities, hmm?"

Jiyong looked at her, trying her best to convince him, spoke up after a long silence.

"We shall see your performance?" Jiyong raised his brows. With the wriggle of his brows, Yoona got the hint immediately.

"Oppa~" Yoona smiled and wrapped her arms around his arms, rubbing her face against his neck. "Let's tell them another time, hmm?"

"Are you sure you are not being a coward right now?" Jiyong wrapped his arms around her naturally. "Shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

"O-Of course not! I feel that it's not the time now, I just landed today too!" Yoona pulled away and leaned in, giving him a generous kiss and Jiyong responded immediately.

If the family were to look out of the window now, the plan that Yoona had would go down the drain.

"How? Are you going to co-operate with me?" Yoona pulled away, almost breathlessly.

Jiyong did not reply and just smiled at her, pulling her hands as they made their way to the door.

"Yah yah yah, so are you agreeing to this or not?"

"I'll go in first? Jiyong unlocked the door and changed the topic, walking into the house naturally.

Leaving Yoona outside, dumbfounded.

✧✧✧✧✧

"I'm back!" Jiyong announced, taking off his shoes.

"Yah Kwon Jiyong, why are you always late!" Mrs. Kwon peeked her head out, nagging at him. "First, it's Yoona who's always late and now you're following her footsteps?"

"I was late because I went to bring all of your presents!" Jiyong defended himself.

"As if! You're not even car
