It's already been a month since I started working for 2pm. Ice formed on the streets, and snow began falling from the sky. It was winter, the season I hated the most. It was always hard for me to get through a winter without thinking about my mom. My last winter with her was the best. We spent everyday ice skating together. After we would always go to a cafe for hot chocolate. You might think this is a reason for me to love winter, right? Wrong. After my mom died that year I found out the reason we spent so much time together that winter was because she only had a few weeks left. Nobody told me she had cancer until it was too late.

"Lily, can you go out for some groceries?" Danny stuck his head through my door. He was back for the holidays, and this was the first Saturday I didn't have to report for cleaning duty.

"Where's dad?"

"He had to go to work today. It's just a few things."

"Fine." I pulled on my coat, and boots, and headed downstairs with my list of groceries. As I stepped outside the cold wind forced my eyes to tear up, and my nose to run. "Ugh! I hate winter!" I growled as I fought against the wind to walk towards the store.

I finally made it, and was relieved to feel the heat warm up my insides. When I made it over to the breakfast food isle I saw Doojoon. Ever since our kiss there hasn't been a time that we were alone to talk. There was always someone there. Like Naeun. This time I wasn't letting him out of my sight until we talked. I sped over to him only stopping when my cart nearly ran into him.

"Yoon Doojoon! I need to talk to you!" My blood was boiling up inside of me, and I couldn't suppress the venim that was present in my voice.

"Lily, I'm sorry, but-"

"No! Now is my turn to talk, so you listen." I took a deep breath. Remember what Chansung said. "Just tell him everything you just told me" 

"...All my life whenever I thought of someone who would never leave me. Someone I could always count on, you were the first person to come to mind. So why are you being like this now? Is it because of the kiss? The one you said I dreamt about?" His eyes suddenly met mine. "I thought we were closer than that. I didn't think that you would completely ignore me becaue of that. If its the kiss you're worried about then fine. I'll pretend that I dreamt it, just please don't do this...don't leave me."

*SILENCE*

"Say something!"

"...Lily. I never meant to hurt you, I just don't know what I'm supossed to do. I love you, and all I've been doing is hurting the person that means the most to me. Every morning I wake up telling myself that this will be it. This will be the day I confess to you in front of everyone, but then I see Naeun, and I turn to stone." 

"Then it's settled, you and Naeun are going to be together, the kiss never happened." Suddenly Doojoon rushed over to me, leaving millimeters between our bodies. His palms lightly touched my cheek, and his eyes stared deep into my soul. I felt my heart pound heavier, and heavier with each second that passed. He brushed his thumb over my lips sending electric shocks through my nerves.

"The kiss...was as real as anything in my life. It meant everything to me. Don't pretend it was a dream becasue if you do...because if you do, then I'll just have to do this..." His hands trailed down to my shoulders as he leaned in and placed his lips on mine, holding me in place so I couldn't escape even if I wanted to. His lips were cracked from the cold, but they still felt inviting, and warm.  My heart bursted with emotions. I hated him for abandoning me, but I loved him for making me feel so much happiness when our lips met. Everything that I planned to say to him erased from my brain. All I wanted to do was live forever in that moment. He pulled away looking into my eyes, making sure to catch my reaction. "I choose you Lily." 

"..what makes you think I'll accept you." Despite my complete loss of feeling in my legs, I still felt the need to make a joke.

He chuckled. "I have a feeling you will."
