" Jang Sun Mi, I want you to work for this year School Project for Christmas, i know you love Christmas " Mr Shin, your homeroom teacher said to you

" Okay seonsangnim, but what should I do ?" You looked confused

" Wearing Panda costume and wish other students Merry Christmas. It's easy " Mr Shin seemed excited

" That's it. Okay I'll do it " you accepted it right away. The girl who loves Christmas like you will never let go of this kind of thing

" Great. You will start it tomorrow. Today is 19th, only 5 days left before Christmas. And you can leave the last class to prepare for your thing. Wish you good luck Sun Mi" Mr Shin patted your back, you bowed and walked out of the classroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Your POV -

Great. Christmas is coming and I'm doing this kind of job. Which brings joy to everybody, it's excited.

What is with the noise ?

SHINee !? Oh, Taemin and his group with their fan girls.

I don't blame them for loving SHINee .. because I am the one too. But, I don't have that much couragement to approach them like that.

Those girls could be more pretty than me. But I bet .. they can't win over my heart, because I love Taemin for 2 years straight without his knowing.

Oh just stop the Taemin thing. Christmas is coming ... yay yay yay !

~~~~~~~~~~~

THE 1ST DAY

 You were standing right the school gate, greeting all the students came out of the school

       " Merry Christmas ! Merry Christmas everybody " You kept saying with happy tone.

   Some of the students noticed you and greeted you back

       " Merry Christmas Panda "

   You saw SHINee came out, you became worry but still doing your job

       " Merry Christmas SHINee - ssi ... and Taemin -ssi " you mentally said Taemin's name, you covered your Panda mouth, embarrassed.

       " Seem like Panda girl likes you Minnie " Key teased Taemin

       Taemin smiled and greeted you back " Merry Christmas Panda Girl, You are really cute " Taemin touched your Panda head

       SHINee waved at you and said good-bye, you just silently waved back.* Taemin said I'm cute !! Ani ... Just just my Panda clothes. Don't be dreamy Sun Mi ah *

- Taemin's POV -

That Panda Girl is really something. How could a girl work as a Panda and greet people when school is over ? What kind of girl she is...? I really want to know her more ...

       " Yah Lee Tae Min " Jonghyun hyung called me

       " Yes hyung ?" I dazed out of my thought

       " Why so silent Taemin ?" Onew hyung asked me worriedly

       " Don't worry hyung, he is just thinking of that Panda Girl, who is interested in our maknae " Key hyung smirked. I hate it when he knows me too well

       " REALLY Minnie ? Ow .. Our Minnie is finally interested in a girl " Minho hyung hugged me tightly

  I couldn't even defend myself .. Okay ... i really want to know about that Panda Girl.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE 2ND DAY

       Today last class is Mr Shin's class. So you easily ditched his class and got ready for the Panda Show.

        It's still early, so you did nothing but sat under the tree. Suddenly you felt someone stood next to you, looked up, your eyes widen " Taemin -ssi ... why-why are you here ?"

        Taemin smiled " I have no class, so I want to relax under this tree too "

        " Oh ... then sit down " you patted the spot next to you. Taemin sat down and his smile still not fell off.

        " By the way. Why are you doing this kind of job ?" Taemin asked you

        " You mean this Panda thing ? " Taemin nodded his head

        " Actually Mr Shin asked me to do it. Besides, I really love Christmas, doing this thing means a lots for Christmas, don't you think so ?"

        " You love Christmas ? I hate it...it so lame and boring " Taemin looked at you, shocked

        " Why ? Christmas is really a great holiday of the year. It's cold so I can wear thick clothes. Because I don't have anyone to celebrate with me on Christmas, so I could wear warm clothes to cover myseft, I could feel warmer. If winter is hot, i don't know how sad i will be " you easily told your story to him

        " No one to celebrate with ? You mean your family is..." Taemin seemed puzzled

        " Aniyo. My family lives in America. So I live here alone " you told him

        " Oh.." that all Taemin could say

    * So she lives here alone in Korea ? She is really strong for such a girl *

        " OMG. School is over. You better go now Taemin -ssi. I don't want people to see you with me, it'll ruin your reputation " you pushed him to go fast

        " Okay. Talking with you is really fun. Let's meet again tomorrow around this time okay ? " Taemin said and ran off

    * He is just kidding ...* you thought and went back to your job

 On Taemin's side

       Damn. I forgot to asked her name ... I'll ask her tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE 3RD DAY

       You lazily sat under the tree. The last class was Math, ditched it was a good choice.

       You got susprised when seeing Taemin came with drinks.

        " Here is Orange Juice " he handed you the drink and sat down

        " Thank you .. " you took the drink but put it aside, you couldn't drink it because of the Panda Head, but you wouldn't take it off, you didn't want Taemin to know the real you.

        " You hate Orange ? Why didn't you drink it ? Should I buy you another one  ?" You didn't know Taemin is such a talkative person

        " No I love it. But I'll drink it later "

    * But i want to see your face * Taemin's face fell

        " Why are you here ?" you asked Taemin

        " I said I will meet you again. Don't you remember ?" Taemin pretended to be hurt

        " No... i remember. But i don't think you will really come "

        " I know how to keep the promise " Taemin proudly said

        " By the way, could you tell me your name ?" Taemin looked at your Panda eyes

        " Uh - Uh ... I... I ... I can't " you shuttered

        " Why ? "

        " I don't want you to know my name. I won't deserve to ... You are too high for me ..." you truly told him

        " Silly Panda Girl. Don't even think about it ! Okay... Promise to tell me your name when you get ready, Okay ?" He held out his pinky finger

        " Promise " you shook his pinky with your big Panda hand

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE 4TH DAY

        It's your 4th day work as a Panda. Christmas is coming near, but why you don't feel excited at all ? Maybe because if Christmas come, you will not meet Taemin again.

        Deep in thought. You didn't know Taemin was next to you

       " What are you thinking about, Panda?" Taemin pushed your shoulder lightly

       " Oh Taemin-ssi...nothing"

       " Okay ... Christmas is coming. Are you excited ?" Taemin smiled at you

       " Yeah .. I just really want Santa to come and make my wish come true " you said

       " Your wish ?"

       " Uhm ... I'll tell you. My wish is being confessed on Christmas, people said if you are confessed on Christmas, your love will last forever ... That's why I want Santa to give me a gift that make my wish come true "

       * Is that so ? * " You believe in Santa ?" Taemin seriously asked

       " Yeah .. I know he is just dreamy ...but somehow I still believe he is real and he will make my wish come true " you shook your Panda Head lightly

        " You are so cute, Panda Girl " Taemin played with your Panda ears

     * I wish you will talk to me like that when this Panda is not alive anymore *

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHRISMAS DAY

        It was your last day as a Panda, and also a last day to be with Taemin. But you didn't see Taemin anywhere.

        The job ended nicely but your heart felt heavy * Where is Taemin ... I can't meet him on Christmas huh ?*

        You let out a heavy sigh and took off your Panda head " Good-bye to you Panda Girl ... Get back to the normal Jang Sun Mi and a boring school life ... Good-bye to you too ... Taemin " you talked to the Panda head

         " Why did you say good-bye to me with that Panda ?" a voice appeared .. .a voice you knew so well

         " Taemin - ssi ... ?" you realized that you didn't wear a Panda Head, you hurrily tried to put it on but Taemin grasped your hand

         " Jang Sun Mi. I know your name now, and your real you too. Don't avoid me " he looked straight at your eyes

         " Taemin  ... I'm ... I'm .... sorry...."

         " For what ?"

         " For having feeling for you. I - I like you ... from 2 years ago .. but .. I don't dare to tell you.. I guess you hate me now. I'm sorry once again "

         Taemin just smiled " Silly Panda, I fell for you hard. Not only fell for the Panda Girl, but Jang Sun Mi too "

         " What ? Are you kidding me ?" you were shocked

         " No. I am seriously fell hard for you. Since the first time you greeted me, and your innocent image when i talked to you. I really love you, SunMi " Taemin held your hands

         " But ... " " No but. Look ! I am wearing Santa clothes today. I'll be your Santa for the end of your life. I'll make your wish come true, Sunmi " you didn't know what he meaned ... then he kissed the back of your hand

         " Dear Panda Girl, I - Lee Tae Min, really love the Panda girl whose name is Jang Sun Mi, will you be my girlfriend ? "

        You didn't know why, but tears started to roll down your cheeks " I will be your girlfriend " you hugged Taemin tightly, he hugged you back.

      " I love you Panda Girl "

      " I love you too, my Santa Boy "
