Merry Christmas.

Warm breeze floats in the room of light blue and orange. The rustles of paper slips in the room as if being read, the sunlight drifts on the room, shaking away the cold feeling; taking away the remnant of the coldness from the night before. The warm air started to fill the room, the soft titters of children from outside could be heard, the steaming hot noise of the hot kettle could be heard, the sweet chimes and song of the wind echoes.

The door creaks open a little (enough for someone to poke his head out), and someone pokes his head inside and takes a good look around the room. A soft smile forms on his lips as he sighted the sleeping figure on the king-sized bed, snuggled warmly on the thick white blanket of his. Pushing the door a little more (enough to push his body inside), he slips in the room and pushes the door back a little, but not enough to close it and leaves a little space.

He walks to the sleeping figure and crawled on the bed and beside the sleeping figure. He pats the (very) thick blanket, where he (in choice) thinks is the stomach is (safely, yes). But the figure won't budge. So he tries again. He pats the (very) thick blanket in where the head is located. He peels off a bit o fthe blanket and sprang out some dishevelled blonde strands of hair.

He quietly titters and peeled the thick blanket more, for him to see the person's face. Once, it was peeled off (the part where he could finally see the person's face), the corner of his lips tugs upward. He gently caress the soft blonde locks and gives a soft kiss on the head. The person stirs a bit. His smile grew a bit and begins to plant soft kisses on the latter's forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks and finally on the lips. The final kiss was soft, enchanting, and warm. He pulls off with a smile gracing his face. He leans to the person's ear and whispers.

"It's time to wake up, Kris. It's morning already."

And with that soothing and calm voice like a wind, telling him to wake up, Kris opens his eyes. His eyes met with the loving gaze of the person who had just woken him up. The person leans and gives a quick peck to Kris' pink lips and pulling away with a light shade of pink brushing on the person's cheeks. Kris' smiles at him and sits up with a hagard look. The person titters and stood up, walking his way to the door of the room.

'"I'll wait for you at the dining table. The others have woken up before you do. Do your morning routine, I'll wait for you."

He smiles and the person acknowledge it as a 'yes' before taking his leave. After his depart, Kris gazed at the picture frames hanging on the walls of their room. It was a picture of him and his lover. Funny, serious, normal, crazy, lovely, his lips cannot help but lifts a bit (a bit force and painful). He gets out of his bed, fixes it and did his morning routine.

Kris takes a sit on his usual chair, always beside his lover (who is already there, by the way), takes a good look on the food before him before picking up the spoon and adding the side dishes and meat on his bowl of rice and starts eating. The person beside him smiles.

"Kyungsoo and Xiumin hyung made it. They say you need to eat a lot cause you have been losing a lot of weight this past few weeks. Is that true, Kris?"

Kris looks at him before tearing his gaze away and continues to munch off the food. The person acknowledges it as a 'yes'. He hums in the reply and watches Kris devour all the food.

Just then, Chen comes in the scene. He sits across their leader and watches him devour the food, painfully slow making Chen flinch at the sight.

"Hyung?" He calls out in Korean, worry laced on his voice. Kris didn't pay attention to him. The person next to him pouts with what Kris did and playfully hit the older in the shoulder.

"Chenchen is calling you. Pay attention to him." He scolded a bit and turns to Chen, who is worrying over their leader."Sorry about that."

"Hyung..." Chen calls out again and Kris (with sighing) looks up to him with a warm gaze and smile. "What is it, Chenchen?" He asks softly making Chen sigh in relief a bit. He observes the older for a while before speaking up.

"Are you okay?" He started, Kris flinched at the question but continues to eat. "All of us are worried about you. You've been quiet and distant for awhile. Hyung...I know it's hard but please. Yixing hyung-" He was cut off immediately by Kris who sighed.

"I know Chenchen." He replies too quickly, his tone sharper making Chen flinch at the tone he used. Kris soften up. He cleared his throat before continuing what he was saying. " I'm perfectly fine. I just need time to think and sort my problems out, okay?" He replies back, softer than before. Chen knows that this is the end of their conversation for at least probably a month before he starts talking again. He smiles and looks at Yixing, who was beside him before returning back his gaze at their leader and smiles. He takes his cue to leave and left Kris alone together with Yixing, still eating his food.

He walks in the living room and takes in the sight before him. Chanyeol is hugging his Kai, saying comforting words early in the morning while Baekhyun and Tao were cuddling. Suho and Kyungsoo is busy sorting 'something' out and is intensly thinking something to stop what ever it was while Xiumin was rocking Chen back and forth, comforting the younger.

Yixing stands beside him and spoke.

"Sehuna and Lulu are at their routine of deep sleep. To make it short, they're still sleeping."

And Kris took a mental note and stated there that he shouldn't bother wake up the two. In attempt to leave, his small movements caught the others, who snapped their heads to him, mouth gaping, eyes wide and gasps broke out. He quietly looks at their reaction and Xiumin was first to react.

"Kris!" He yelled at the older and Kris just plainly looks at the older. He wasn't planning to answer the older but feeling something or someone (stare or much of a glare) boring on him, he replies with meekly voice. "Yes, hyung?"

Xiumin cries in joy and hugs the older. "Oh, thank God! Finally you came out of your room and finally talked to us!" He cried out with joy. The others just watched the two, frozen on their places. Kris smiles at his hyung and nods his head.

"It's nice to see you again, hyung." A warm smile gracing at his face as he looked at the others. "It's nice to see all of you again."

"With the exception of Sehuna and Lulu, of course."

Speaking of the devil, the two came out of their shared room and were shocked to see Kris, standing on the living room, smiling like a normal person he was. Well, of course, he is one.

"Duizhang..." Luhan murmurs and (thanks) to Kris' sharp sense of hearing, he swivelled his head to his direction.

"Luhan." He states, he smiles warmly. A nice greeting is seen on his eyes and Luhan couldn't help but smile back also.

Kris goes back to his room after a few chats from the members and crawls back to their bed with Yixing tailing behind him. He closes the door and sits on their bed near the edge. He watches Kris snuggles on the thick blanket like a kid, playing under the large, thick blanket of his. Yixing laughs making Kris stop and pops his head out from the blanket, looking at Yixing before continuing what he was doing before.

Yixing laughs again.

"What are you doing, Kris?"

But Kris didn't answer him.

A soft knocks resonated on the room making Kris wakes up from his sleep (which he took in for an hour and a half) and sits up, yawning.

"Come in." He spoke to the person outside. The doorknob twists and the painted door pushes in.

It was Luhan.

He pushes back the door and sits on the bed and stares at Kris who stared at him back. A small smile formed on Luhan's face.

"It's time to go, Kris." He simply says before standing up and leaves him alone. Yixing appears a bit later, finding Kris sleeping peacefully on their bed again. A soft smile plasters on his face as he made his way to Kris and shakes him to wake him up.

"Wake up, Kris. Luhan and Suho are waiting for you."

With that being said, Yixing leaves the room while Kris' stirs in his sleep and eventually is fully awake.

Kris steps out of their room wearing a white t-shirt layered by a warm, thick brown coat and a scarf (that was made by Yixing) comfortably wrapped aroind his neck, black jeans and donned with a pair of sneakers. He made his way to the living room and looks around.

"Where are they?" He asks confusingly when he surveyed the area, the two persons he is looking for is not there.

"Oh, they went ahead. They say that they have something important to do." Chanyeol responded to his question while caressing the black hair of Kai, who is peacefully sleeping on his lap. Kris nodded and muttered a 'thank you' before heading out.

"I'll be back later. Tell the others not to worry."

Kris walks his way to the flower shop Yixing loves to the core. The shop is one of the most talk about shop because of it's beauty. Almost all of the flowers are seen on the shop and it never fail to amaze Kris because the people never get tired talking about the daily section of the flowers that are delivered and it never fail to amaze him that the shop is always busy due to certain calls and orders.

Once, he was irritated and annoyed by the facts about the shop and has to be forced to go in due to Yixing. He hated the constant asking of Yixing to the florist what is the new deal of flowers and etc. He hated the shop to the core before.

But now, he finds himself, asking what is the daily section of flowers.

"What are new sets of flowers, Donghae hyung?" He asks as he enters the shop. The shop isn't busy like everyday it's used to be, in fact is was less busy making Kris slightly amused by the fact. Donghae looks up from the menu of flowers and smiles at the sight of him.

"Oh, hey Kris. It's nice to see you again." Donghae greeted with a smile on his face which the younger responded back with the smile also. Kris sits on one of the chairs, his arm leaning on the counter as he watches Donghae scans through the sets of flowers. Donghae flips various papers before stopping and a wide grin plasters on his face.

"We have a three new set of flowers today, Kris." Donghae says with sparkles on his eyes making Kris chuckle.

"And what are those?"

"Oh, those three new sets are Primrose, Agrimony and Almond." Donghae stated with delightment. Kris smiles at those flowers he had just heard. He looks at him and Donghae immediately knew what he wanted.

"Those three are top notch for today's menu. But I saved at least one bouquet for each of those sets for you." Donghae his lips and disappears as he enters the 'new flowers' room. Kris chuckles. Donghae has memorized every single thing and words what Kris would do and say. They have known each other for at least 3 years now, courtesy to Yixing.

While waiting for Donghae, Kris spotted a fellow florist who's on his break (Kris thinks so). He approached the florist and greeted him.

"Hey, Eunhyuk."

Eunhyuk looks up from the magazing he is holding and gasped at the sight of the man in front of him.

"Kris!" He hugs the younger he haven't seen for awhile. He pulls back and eyes the younger.

"How are ya?" Eunhyuk asks as he beckons the younger to sit together with him to which he gladly did.

"I'm fine. So how are you? The shop is less busy today." Kris wanted to ask that as soon as he took notice of the status of the shop. Eunhyuk smiles.

"I'm good. The shops is busy enough, you know. I'm glad it's less busy today." Kris raise an eyebrow on him. The two Lee's loved being busy and never did they take a break nor be less weight on their shoulder but hearing from one of the owners, he couldn't help but doubt a little. Eunhyuk sense his doubtness, making him chuckle.

"Did you know?"

"What?"

"We haven't closed the shop for a week already and I haven't barely get my sleep yet, you know."

Kris eyes widens at the news delivered to him.

"The shop has been awake for 1 week?!" Kris yells (but not too loud) and Eunhyuk nodded his head. Kris calms down a bit and now he understand why Eunhyuk said he was glad that they are less busy. The two hasn't gotten their sleep yet. He smiles at their endurance when Donghae came in, shuffling his way to the counter.

Kris stood up and went to the counter. He smiles at the three flowers on the counter, beautifully wrapped in cloth and plastic. The Almond was wrapped in brown cloth plus plastic, Primrose is blue while Agrimony is pink with red ribbon tied in each bouquet. Donghae slides three small blank white cards (with fragrance of each flower on it) in front of Kris and puts a pen in front of him.

Kris blinks and looks at him. Donghae smiles and murmured to him.

"Go ahead."

Kris smiles and picks up the pen and started writing down. Once finished, he puts down the pen and slips each card on the bouquet. After slipping it in, Kris was about to take his wallet and pay when Eunhyuk interceded.

"Don't pay anymore, Kris." Kris looks at him, baffled. Donghae smiles and gives the three bouquet of flowers to him, making Kris look at them, confused. The two brothers smiles at him.

"It's for you and Yixing. Our gifts for both of you."

Kris smiles at the two and muttered a 'thank you', bows then bid his farewell and left the shop.

Kris arrives at the place he always visits and walks ahead. Familiar feeling and sight greeted him as he walks his way to the place he wanted to stop by. A familiar soft hum echoed in his ears.

It was Yixing.

He was walking together with Kris on the snowy path. He didn't say anything but simple walks beside Kris with a thin smile on his face. The once calm sky starts to be clouded by grey fluffy clouds and soon the calm sly was covered by black clouds. Yixing looks up and stares at the sky first before looking at Kris. His eyes, fixed on a certain location and a heavy feeling burdened Yixing on the chest as he follows his gaze.

Kris stopped and so does he. In front of them was a tombstone of someone. Yixing heaved an air as Kris kneeled down and placed the three bouquets of flowers in front of the tombstone. Kris smiles and mutters under his breathe before lowering his head and Yixing knows he's crying. After a few minutes, Kris stood up and wipes off the remaining tears and sniffs. Yixing stood in front of him; a smile made way on his Kris' face making Yixing smile back.

Kris mutters something again making Yixing hug him and place a quick peck on his lips. Yixing pulls back, staring at Kris' dark brown orbs that he used to love. He smiles and gives another peck to Kris' lips before pulling himself off from Kris. Kris murmurs for the last time and Yixing leans on his ear and whispers in his ear before pulling off with a smile. Kris smiles at him and take his leave; leaving Yixing alone on the cemetery.

Watching Kris leaves, Yiixng closes his eyes and opens them again.

"The flowers are beautiful Wufan. I'll accept what you wanted to do and I'm happy that you chose the path which I gave you. Thank you and I love you Wufan. Merry Christmas to EXO."

Yixing smiles for the last time and leaves; small lights following behind him before he disappears.

Kris arrives back at the dorm, took off his shoes and walks in to the living room where he finds all of the members with an anxious face. Once they saw him, they sighs in relief. Suho and Luhan exchanges a few glance before standing up and walks over to Kris.

"Kris..." Luhan calls out his name. Suho just looks at him worried. Kris looks at the two, his eyes averted to the other members, who has a worried expression plastered on his face. Kris chuckles.

"I'm okay guys. Don't worry." Kris spoke softly to them with a smile. "But..."Kai started but was cut off immediately by Kris. "Don't worry. It's been 3 years since Yixing left and...the scar is starting to heal bit by bit and I'm starting to move on but not too fast, slowly it would be."

The others blinked and a smile graced on their faces. Baekhyun looks at Kris worriedly though.

"Kris, we are relieve that you're moving on and your scar is healing bit by bit, but we don't want you to...." Baekhyun didn't finish his sentence when Tao yanked him to his lap. Kris didn't answer for a minute before smiling a bit as he looks at Baekhyun and everyone else.

"I won't forget Yixing. I won't keep my promise to him until now, though. He whispered to me his last wish before he left us. I haven't fulfilled it yet so I'm fulfilling it now. But rest assured guys, I won't forget him even if he wanted to." Kris smiles warmly at them before taking his leave.

Before he enters his room, he heard Kyungsoo yelling at him. "Sehun will call you later for dinner, Kris!" Kris nods his head as he enters his bedroom, with a brand new feeling of delight and happiness in the snowy Christmas.

The door creaks open a little, the noise making the figure who is still sleeping stir on his sleep a little; the blanket pulls off a little from covering his head and sprang out some dishevelled blonde strands of hair. The person stirs a bit more making the blanket peels away from his head.

A calm wind wind passes by to him, telling him to wake up, Kris opens his eyes. His eyes met the blue ceiling and for some reason, this day Kris' smiles and sits up with a hagard look. Kris gazed at the picture frames hanging on the walls of their room. It was a picture of him and his lover. Funny, serious, normal, crazy, lovely, his lips cannot help but lifts a bit (a bit force and painful). He gets out of his bed, fixes it and did his morning routine.

Kris takes a sit on his usual chair on the dining table, always beside his lover's seat, takes a good look on the food before him before picking up the spoon and adding the side dishes and meat on his bowl of rice and starts eating.

Kris looks at the seat of lover for awhile before tearing his gaze away and continues to munch off the food.

Just then, Chen comes in the scene. He sits across their leader and watches him devour the food, painfully slow making Chen flinch at the sight.

"Hyung?" He calls out in Korean, worry laced on his voice. Kris didn't pay attention to him making Chen sigh a bit.

"I know Chenchen." He replies too quickly, his tone sharper making Chen flinch at the tone he used. Kris soften up. He cleared his throat before continuing what he was saying. " I'm perfectly fine. I just need time to think and sort my problems out, okay?" He replies back, softer than before. Chen knows that this is the end of their conversation for at least probably a month before he starts talking again. He smiles and looks at the empty seat of Yixing before returning back his gaze at their leader and smiles. He takes his cue to leave and left Kris alone on the dining table still eating his food.

Counting mentally in his mind how many people are present, he finds one couple missing and Kris have a pretty good guess who the couple is. And Kris took a mental note and stated there that he shouldn't bother wake up the two. In attempt to leave, his small movements caught the others, who snapped their heads to him, mouth gaping, eyes wide and gasps broke out. He quietly looks at their reaction and Xiumin was first to react.

"Kris!" He yelled at the older and Kris just plainly looks at the older. He wasn't planning to answer the older but think that it may be rude to ignore the older, he replies with meekly voice. "Yes, hyung?"

"It's nice to see you again, hyung." A warm smile gracing at his face as he looked at the others. "It's nice to see all of you again." 'With the exception of Sehun and Luhan, though.' Kris thought to himself.

Speaking of the devil, the two came out of their shared room and were shocked to see Kris, standing on the living room, smiling like a normal person he was. Well, of course, he is one.

"Duizhang..." Luhan murmurs and (thanks) to Kris' sharp sense of hearing, he swivelled his head to his direction.

"Luhan." He states, he smiles warmly. A nice greeting with pain and sadness mixed with it is seen on his eyes and Luhan couldn't help but painfully and sadly smile back also.

Kris goes back to his room after a few chats from the members and crawls back to their bed. Kris snuggles on the thick blanket like a kid, playing under the large, thick blanket of his. Kris stops and pops his head out from the blanket, looking at the picture frame resting on Yixing's desk before continuing what he was doing before.

A soft knocks resonated on the room making Kris wakes up from his sleep (which he took in for an hour and a half) and sits up, yawning.

"Come in." He spoke to the person outside. The doorknob twists and the painted door pushes in.

It was Luhan.

He pushes back the door and sits on the bed and stares at Kris who stared at him back. A small smile formed on Luhan's face who has a pained expression.

"It's time to go, Kris." He simply says before standing up and leaves him alone. Kris blinks before dropping his body back to bed, sleep once again claiming his body.

After awhile, Kris' stirs in his sleep and eventually is fully awake.

"Where are they?" He asks confusingly when he surveyed the area, the two persons he is looking for is not there.

"Oh, they went ahead. They say that they have something important to do." Chanyeol responded to his question while caressing the black hair of Kai, who is peacefully sleeping on his lap with tear stricken face and swollen and puffy eyes which made Kris frown a bit. He sighs before nodding and muttered a 'thank you' before heading out.

"I'll be back later. Tell the others not to worry."

But now, he finds himself, asking what is the new daily section of flowers.

"We have a three new set of flowers today, Kris." Donghae says with sparkles on his eyes making Kris chuckle.

"And what are those?"

While waiting for Donghae, Kris spotted a fellow florist who's on his break (Kris thinks so). He approached the florist and greeted him.

"Hey, Eunhyuk."

Eunhyuk looks up from the magazing he is holding and gasped at the sight of the man in front of him.

"I'm good. The shops is busy enough, you know. I'm glad it's less busy today." Kris raise an eyeborw on him. The two Lee's loved being busy and never did they take a break nor be less weight on their shoulder but hearing form one of the owners, he couldn't help but doubt a little. Eunhyuk sense his doubtness, making him chuckle.

"Did you know?"

Kris eyes widens at the news delivered to him.

"The shop has been awake for 1 week?!" Kris yells (but not too loud) and Eunhyuk nodded his head. Kris calms down a bit and now he understand why Eunhyuk said he was glad that they are less busy. The two and hasn't gotten their sleep yet. He smiles at their endurance when Donghae came in, shuffling his way to the counter.

Kris blinks and looks at him. Donghae smiles and murmured to him.

"Go ahead."

"Don't pay anymore, Kris." Kris looks at him, baffled. Donghae smiles and gives the three bouquet of flowers to him, making Kris look at them, confused. The two brothers smiles at him.

"It's for you and Yixing. Our gifts for both of you."

Kris smiles at the two and muttered a 'thank you', bows then bid his farewell and left the shop.

Kris arrives at the place he always visits and walks ahead. Familiar feeling and sight greeted him as he walks his way to the place he wanted to stop by.The once calm sky starts to be clouded by grey fluffy clouds and soon the calm sly was covered by black clouds; a sign that it would be snowing soon.

Kris stops before facing it. In front of him was a tombstone of someone. And it wasn't a ordinary someone but someone he knows very well.

It was Yixing's tombstone.

Kris kneeled down and placed the three bouquets of flowers in front of the tombstone. Kris smiles painfully.

"Yixing ah...It's been 3 years without you and I'm living eveyday with emptiness and pain. But...this past few weeks, I've decided to sort this out. I...I planned to move on, Xing. The scar that was formed in my heart is slowly healing bit by bit. Although I don't want to move on, to forget you, but I have to. I need to. Because that's what you wished for, right? That's what your last wish before you died. But let me tell you. I won't forget you like how you wanted me too but somehow I'll try to fulfill your wish. My mind will forget you but my heart won't forget you. I hope that's enough, though because if it wasn't, I won't be able to live like how you wanted me too."

Kris lowered his head, tears were b down in his face. While crying, he muttered with a smile. "I've bought three bouquet of flowers for you. Primrose, Agrimony and Almond. You probably know what those three flowers meant, right? Agrimony because I'm thankful. Thankful that you have been beside me for so long wherein I was down or happy, for caring for me, for staying by my side and for loving me. I want to thank you for everything. Everything that you have done. Thank you. Almond and Primrose because I promise you that I will let my heart only attach and beat for you, Xing. You and only you, I will give my heart. I promise you my eternal love. Forever will it be even though you are dead. I will still love you as if you are here."

Kris stood up and wipes off the remaining tears and sniffs. A smile made way to Kris' face.

"Merry Christmas, Yixing. I love you."

Kris felt the breeze of the wind pass by as if embracing him and a soft wind brushes on his lips quickly indicating as if it is a quick peck. After a few seconds, another soft breeze pass by Kris' lips and Kris knew Yixing is the one who gave him the embrace and the first and the last quick peck on the lips.

"Goodbye Xing."

"Goodbye Wufan. Merry Christmas."

Kris smiles and take his leave, leaving with a smile plastered on his face and leaving the past behind as he takes a new step forward to the path he chose.

"Kris..." Luhan calls out his name. Suho just looks at him worried. Kris looks at the two, his eyes averted to the other members, who has a worried expression plastered on his face. Kris chuckles.

The others blinked and a smile graced on their faces. Baekhyun looks at Kris worriedly though.

Belated Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!!
