- Anti-Romantic ? -
The end of the third year of middle school, winter vacation, that Yeonjun remembers
It was completely filled with snow.
Running around like a child, giggling and playing in the snow that had piled up during the evening, became a daily routine for Yeonjun.
"There's this much snow piled up, bro!!"
"Snowman!! Let's make a snow duck, Huening!!"
Beomgyu and Huening were running around in front of Yeonjun.
Yeonjun smiled playfully as he watched the lively children.
"If this continues, we'll have a real white Christmas."
Taehyun walked over, his feet crunching in the snow.
"That's right. I wish the snow would pile up this much and bury all the couples!"
Subin, who had been joking, suddenly turned his gaze to Beomgyu.
Beomgyu, who was laughing, chased after Soobin who was running away screaming.
"Ouch... be quiet. Why are they becoming so immature?"
"Hyung, you look quite funny."
Yeonjun worked hard to make his fatherly smile into a blank expression.
Taehyun went to Huening Kai who was rolling a snowman while smiling.
Huening was halfway giving up because of the snow that wouldn't move.
"Why give up? Let's roll again."
Taehyun woke up Huening who was buried in his eyes.
Yeonjun stared at Taehyun like that.
"Okay, don't give up and keep rolling!"
Then he shouted at them both.
Don't give up. Keep going. With a smile.

The group chat was noisy.
Will voice recognition happen automatically?
Even though it can't be heard, Choi Beom-gyu's voice, crying out in frustration, reaches here.
I thought I heard it.
Choi Beom-gyu is upset that he didn't receive a Christmas present.
I was complaining.
[It's been a while since we had a white Christmas!!!!!]
[Why is there no gift!!!]
Oh my, it's noisy here too.
Yeonjun covered his phone and stared out the window.
The snow was fluttering.
It was truly spectacular.
On a Christmas day when carols were ringing, Yeonjun was alone.
I also felt a little empty about not receiving a gift.
I'm bored.
The Fed picked up the phone and put it down.
It was a boring Christmas.
Tiring,
The alarm sounded.
It must be Choi Beom-gyu.
When Yeonjun picked up the phone to see if he could hear, the caller was not Beomgyu,
We were classmates.
"Did you call to tease me?"
Couple bastard.
"Hey, I can't even play. My girlfriend's friend broke up with me and I'm comforting her.
"I'm waiting"
"Girlfriend's friend?"
"You know, why? Ah... that transfer girl!"
The Fed paused for a moment.
The girl brushed her head again.
I thought I forgot.
"I heard they broke up on Christmas Day. My girlfriend is really trying to comfort me."
"...."
"Hey, Choi Yeonjun?"
"..Ah. Sorry."
"You're losing your mind, ah, I'm hanging up!"
Even after the call ended, Yeonjun was still in a daze.
It's not a twist of fate, it's giving me another chance when I've forgotten everything
What kind of etiquette is this?
The Fed's heartbeat quickened again.
Oh, really. I forgot.
The Fed blushed again, just like when they first met.
My heart, which was about to waver, burst out.
They say Seolma catches people.
"Ouch...what should I do..."
The fact that it came suddenly like a Christmas present broke Yeonjun's heart.
It made me beat again.
There was still a spark that had not cooled down.
A little light was maintained in the area closest to the ground.
[ Like a Christmas present. ]
From the day the excitement began, the Fed was once again conflicted.
I felt pathetic because I felt like a lynx that was only looking for an opportunity, not comfort.
The Fed eventually came to the conclusion that it had to fold again.
Yeonjun hesitated in front of the child's phone number that he had barely managed to obtain.
Walk? Stop?
If you ask me how I found out?
If I suddenly ask you if you broke up, you'll be angry, right?
What should I do..?
A constant question mark arose in the Fed's mind.
Just then, the phone rang. Yeonjun almost dropped it.
"Hyuning..?"
Huening Kai's name with a cute emoticon that he had saved himself, saying "Please keep it cute", was displayed on the screen.
"I guess I should change my name."
The Fed received the call.
"Did you have a good Christmas, bro?"
A cheerful voice greeted me.
"Brother! You didn't get a gift either!"
Why is Choi Beom-gyu here?
"I didn't receive it. Why Huening?"
Huening spoke behind Beomgyu's grumbling voice.
“Hyung, have you ever confessed to me?”
"..ok..?"
What is this, relationship advice..?
"To that unrequited love! It was Christmas a few months ago!"
Oh, they don't know they folded it.
That's it," Beomgyu said, cutting off what Yeonjun was about to say.
"Cheer up, bro! Even if it's a breakup, it's better to confess and break up!"
And shouted.
"That's right! Can I help you with the event?"
Huening also got involved.
Cute things.
"Okay. I'll just do it quietly by myself."
Two people grumbled on the other end of the phone,
"I'm busy, hyung. I'm hanging up!"
The Fed hung up the phone cheerfully.
Even the noisy younger siblings are helpful.
Thanks to you, I feel at ease.
It was a second chance, and I didn't want to turn away from it because of the pain I experienced once.
Let's not give up.
Let's try it.
The Fed connected the call.
The winter with its heavy snowfall has passed, and the trees are preparing to welcome spring.
I did.
Even though it's still a bit far off, it would be good to prepare step by step.
For those of you who are not ready for spring yet
The Fed decided to take things slowly.
I felt good.
[Love, this excitement, this trembling, and the unknown path ahead are all things I will carry.
The Fed decided to believe in love again.]
