White snow falls down outside the window.  A girl in a white cashmere turtleneck busies herself
by making rich hot chocolate for her and her significant other.  Tonight was a very special night,
because it was Christmas eve.  In this household, when it hits midnight on christmas eve, everyone
opens their presents.  But this year, it was even more special.  Julia and her boyfriend, Jaejoong,
had been together for quite some time now and have been going strong ever since.  Since Jaejoong
was apart of the ever so popular korean pop boy group, DBSK, he had to work a little during the
holidays.  A couple of minutes ago, she recieved a call from Jaejoong saying he was just 5 minutes
away.  so she decided to make something for him until he came home.  Right when she placed the tray
of hot cocoa on the coffee table, the doorbell rang.  "Who can that be?"  She whispered to herself.
She scurried over to the door and when she opened it, dropped.  It was Jaejoong with a
beautiful bouqet of white roses.  "Jae...joong..."  He just stood their smiling.  "Why didn't you use your-"
Her sentence was cut short by a kiss."Aren't you going to invite me in, babe?"  Julia just blushed.  
"It's your guys' apartment."  She took the bouquetand quickly found a vase to fill it in with water.  
Jaejoong took off his scarf and gloves and placedit on the coat hanger near the entrance.  Julia placed
the vase on the mantel and sat down on the couch, where Jaejoong followed.  "Here, I made some hot
chocolate.  It'll warm you up."  Jaejoong took the cup and took a sip.  All of a sudden, Julia started
giggling as Jaejoong placed the cup back onto the tray.  He raised an eyebrow.  "What's so funny?..."  

"You.. have a chocolate mustache."  She failed to notice that Jaejoong
was getting closer until there was only an inch of space between.  " it off for me."  Julia's face
suddenly got red.  No matter how long they were together, she blushed everytime he asked for stuff
even slightly promiscuous.  Her lips came closer to his until, "Hey! You two, go in the room and do that."  Yunho said
as he took off his jacket and other winter accessories along with the other members.  Yoochun walked
in and saw what was happening.  He just laughed and said, "Jae, you got something on your upper lip."
He pointed to where the stain was.  Jaejoong just rolled his eyes.  "No really, Yoochun?  I didn't notice."
He wiped his lip with the napkin laying in the tray.  "Alright, alright.  It's almost midnight, let's start
opening some presents, yes?"  Yunho said as he walked over to the beautifully decorated chistmas tree
near the corner of the living room. Julia jumped up happily.  "Let's go!"  There weren't alot of presents
laying there, but it was enough for the boys and Julia.  Nobody really wanted anything for Christmas
but everyone else got something anyways.  All that mattered to them was that they were close to
each other having fun.  It was finally midnight and everyone sat criss-crossed on the ground around
the tree.  "Okay, who's going first?"  Junsu raised his hand and grabbed one of the presents that had
his name written on the tag.  Julia quickly got her camera and started to take candid pictures for
memories to put in her scrapbook.  Junsu ripped off the gift wrap and open the box.  When he pulled out
what was inside, everyone bursted out laughing.  It was just another box.  Before he kept on opening the
box, he looked to see who the gift was from.  "Changmin-ah... You wanna die on Christmas?"
Changmin was on the floor laughing his off.  "C'mon Oppa, just keep on opening it until you find
what's really in there."  Julia said as she tried to fight off her giggles.

After five empty boxes, Junsu finally found what Changmin got him.  It was a pair of Donald Duck pajama
bottoms.  "ohmygosh! They're so adorable!~"  Julia squealed as she took a picture.  Junsu showed a grateful smirk,
"Thanks Changmin."  He leaned over to give his dongsaeng a hug.
Then the rest of the people opened up their presents one by one.  Julia took memories with her camera
one click at a time.  After round one of opening presents, there were still more.  So they went around
one more time.  As time passed, it was Julia's turn again to open up her present.  It was a little cutely
wrapped box.  She picked it up and shook it to see if she could guess what it was.  But there was no
noise coming from the box.  "Who's this from?"  She looked at the tag.  "Jaejoong..."  She smiled from
ear to ear and continued on opening the small box.  Just before she opened the box,  Jaejoong layed his
hand ontop of hers.  "Wait, Julia.  Can I talk to you about something?"  She tilted
her head slightly and said, "What's wrong, Jae?  Having second thoughts about what you got me?  Don't
even worry about it.  I'll love it no matter what, because it was from you."  She said as she smiled sweetly.
That made it even harder for Jaejoong to hide what was going to happen next.  "Let's go for a walk outside, okay?"
He grabbed her wrist and led her to a near by park.  The members already knew what was going to happen so they let him do what
he wished.  Julia was so suprised when she saw Jaejoong's current expression.  "Oppa, what's wrong?  Did
something happen today during your schedule?  You were happy just a minute ago..."

"Julia..."
"Yes, Jaejoong?"
"Let's break up."

Julia dropped the present that was still in her hand.  She couldn't believe her boyfriend would say that after
4 years of being together.  Her eyes started to tear up.  She was in denial, hoping that she misheard and
that her boyfriend had said something else.  When she spoke again, her voice cracked a little.  That hurt Jaejoong
even more.  He wondered if this was the right way to go.

"W-What do you mean, Jaejoong?  I thought we were getting along great.  Why would you want to break it off
all of a sudden?  Especially on... Christmas?"
"I'm sorry, Julia.  I just... have to do this."  He started to walk away, until Julia held him by his forearm.
"Oppa, wait!  Don't leave like this!"

Now the tears rolled down her face.  They just wouldn't stop, no matter how many times she wiped them away.
Jaejoong felt even more hurt seeing his now ex-girlfriend like this.  He grabbed his arm back and walked away.
Julia yelled out his name as she fell to the ground.  Julia's knees were so weak that she couldn't support her
weight.  Suprisingly,  Yoochun came out of nowhere and helped Julia up.  "Julia, are you okay?  Where's Jae?"
Julia couldn't talk she just broke down in her friend's arms.  Yoochun sighed and embraced her tightly.  "Julie,
I need to take you somewhere okay?"  He led Julia to a secluded part of the park.  But before going any further,
Yoochun told Julia to put on a blindfold.  "What for, Yoochun?  I'm not in the mood for anymore surpises right now.
Can we just go home?"  Yoochun didn't answer.  "Yoochun... Yoochun..?  Yoo-"  Right when Julia took off her blindfold,
dropped once again.  She couldn't believe what she saw.  It was Jaejoong in the middle of a heart made
up of candles, flickering in the dark Christmas night.  Out of nowhere, 4 signs pop out of nowhere from behind some
bushes.  "Will.. You.. Marry.. Me?"  She put her hand over to stop from tears flowing again.  "Are you serious,
Jae?"  Jaejoong nodded with a warm smile on his face.  He went closer to his soon to be fiance and bent down on one
knee.  From his jacket pocket, he took out the box that Julia had dropped a couple moments ago.  "Julia Min, will you
marry me?"  Julia's eyes started to water again.  She didn't anything.  She quickly embraced Jaejoong and said,
"Of course I will, Jaejoong."  He kissed Julia. Suddenly, she slappped
Jaejoong on the chest.  "DON'T EVER do that to me again.  You scared the crap out of me!"  Jaejoong just chuckled.
"I'm sorry okay, babe?  Forgive me?"  He smiled innocently.  Julia just nodded.  There were some cameras clicking, but
Jaejoong didn't mind the media finding out about his engagement.  As long as he was with Julia, nothing else mattered
anymore.  He slipped the ring on Julia's ring finger and locked their lips together until Julia said, "This is the best
Christmas gift I've ever gotten, Jaejoong.  Thank You."

Before Julia met Jaejoong, her past Christmas memories weren't really all that special.  This specific holiday lost all its definite purpose as she grew up.  She needed that one person to make her Christmas create that spark in her life, once again.  Finally, she's found that firework in Jaejoong.
