Winter must be cold, for those with frozen hearts.

Jung Yoonmi knew this to be true. Once upon a time, she had hated winter with every fibre of her being. She found it to be cold, dark, and devoid of life. Yoonmi had once thought that. She knew that! Once, her heart had been frozen like ice, trapped inside of its own pain and confusion. Oh, how cruel she had been! How unsure of everything and how lost in a blizzard of hurt she had been. Yoonmi had pulled away from winter as if it was a plague; something sickly that would spread across her skin with vengeance. She hated it, feeling as if winter was something that had taken everything from her.  Yet, now that Yoonmi was a little bit older and little bit wiser, she knew the truth.  She was the one keeping things away from herself.

 

Winter must be cold, for those with no warm memories.

Kim Suho looked up at that sky, marvelling at the beauty of it. He stood in the park where he had taken her on a date two years ago. He smiled, remembering how a younger version of him had thought they were fated to be together forever. He shook his head, raising his camera to capture another picture of the snowy playground. They were not together forever, but he would not regret the time he had spent with her. Not for a single instant. There were no bitter memories here, only happy ones. After all, it was all fated wasn’t it?
