“Did you see outside? There’s a new car parked there.”
“I told him that if I didn’t change it, he would demand compensation for mental damage and plan to commit suicide as Santa, so he changed it.”
“…What’s the problem, senior?”
The new year is just around the corner. For a while, Christmas will be forgotten. It's sad, but it's also a good thing. For now, each day is a leisurely one.
There's nothing to do... Yeah, that's the problem.
"Are you going out?"
"Don't you have any dates or anything? Like a trip?"
"Oh, you're on a date."
”…“
I forgot how smart that kid was. I just kept my mouth shut and looked in the mirror.
Kang Tae-hyun chuckled and stirred firewood into the fireplace.
Why are you laughing? Even Santa can date. Even Santa can fall in love.
Wait... why am I thinking about love? It's annoying... it's so fucking natural.
“Have a nice trip. Please be sure to leave a review.”
“It’s not a date?”
"Senior, you really can't lie."
“I’ll be back soon.”
.
.

What do kids these days do when they meet up? I should have looked it up beforehand.
The only thing you can do by arriving early is to watch couples passing by.
After always seeing only fairies, it was a lot of fun to see people.
Why are you sticking around so close when it's so cold?
“Hey, Santa!”
“…”
"Seeing you during the day brings a new feeling. So that's what you used to look like."
"You are the one who does that..."
Why did you come dressed up like this?
I'm not really lying, I'm adding a little msg so that all the women passing by
I just looked at Choi Yeonjun. I quickly lowered my head. Wow, my face turned completely red.
Why does this guy look like this!..
“Are you hungry? Let’s go eat first.”
"Uh uh... okay."
Oh no. I've been working on this all day and it's over.
From the moment we ate until the moment we parted ways, it seemed like all I did was answer.
This kid keeps asking questions because he's so curious about so many things.
In fact, I even thought that maybe today we came out to do a Q&A instead of a date.
When Taehyun, who was waiting at home, asked how my day was,
This older sister took the lead lol. As expected, love experience never goes away.
As soon as Taehyun left, he kicked the blanket hard and screamed under it. Aaaah!! It's all ruined.
KakaoTalk-!
[‘I wanted to see this, lol. Do you want to watch it together?’]
The phone I opened because of Choi Yeonjun. The SNS app I installed because of him.
And the contact I just received included a picture of the movie and its content.
I think this is... I think this is...
..that's ridiculous.
.
.
That day, as usual, I met Choi Yeonjun, watched a movie, and naturally moved on to a second round.
I must have had a drink and was in a good mood when the accident happened.
Without thinking, he noticed the ladder behind him was swaying and about to fall on Choi Yeonjun.He threw himself. He succeeded in pushing Yeonjun aside and fell forward with a thud! Did he break his arm?
Ah… Putting aside the fact that I got hurt, it’s fortunate that Choi Yeonjun got hurt instead.
Unlike me, who was relieved, Yeonjun was deeply shocked and dragged me to the emergency room, where he was even sutured before he could even come out. Despite repeated reassurances that he was okay, his serious expression showed no sign of relaxing.
“Is fighting spirit your hobby?”
"on the sly?"
"hey"
“I’m Santa so I don’t get hurt. I can’t even feel pain. Aaak! Why did you touch me!!”
"Teacher, will this scar go away? How long will it take?"
The mood was down, so I tried to make it funny.
He gently touched my injured knee, then his expression darkened even more when he heard me scream. He finally stopped a passing nurse and asked her everything from whether she'd wrapped it properly to whether I needed a cast. Only then did he finally calm down and look at me.
“I’m really okay, Yeonjun.”
“Hey, who just screamed?”
“Oh, man, that’s you!”
"Hey... you're really... a worrisome person. No, how could you even think of running into a ladder bigger than yourself? What if you get hurt worse?"
Even I thought it was reckless. But Choi Yeonjun's nagging words were laced with concern, so even that felt good. I felt like I could get hurt a hundred more times over.
"The house is top secret, so I won't tell you. Can you walk there?"
"…no?"
"Then... let's go to my house first."
Actually, you can walk to Kurada's house.
.
.
.

The wind was still chilling. As I tried to walk alone, dragging my aching legs, the bitter wind made me even more miserable. Even after years, I just couldn't get used to this damn winter.
It’s cold.. Oh, it’s so cold.. Sibaaaal… ..Choi Yeonjun bastard..
Let's go back to about an hour ago.
The atmosphere was good until we reached the Fed's house.
Even Yeonjun supporting me as I limped? That was fucking great.
My heart was pounding for no reason.
If I had been just a little closer, I think I could have heard it right next to me.
“Did you leave the lights on at home?”
“I turned it off and came out.”
"It's on"
“..There’s no way that could be?”
At first glance, Yeonjun's house looked bright.
I ran out without coming to my senses... That's all I thought.
I locked hands with Yeonjun, who was slowly reaching out to grab my hand.
When I entered Yeonjun's house giggling like that,
“…Hmm”
Inside the slightly open room door, an unknown woman was lying asleep on Yeonjun's bed.
"What is this?" Choi Yeonjun's eyes widened in confusion.
My mood suddenly worsened. Choi Yeonjun, what's going on?
Even if I wanted to say that, I didn't have the right to say it.
I grabbed Yeonjun by the collar because he was trying to enter the room without even taking off his coat.
“Should I just come over next time?”
“..Where is a kid with sore legs going alone? It’ll only be for a short while, so don’t go.”
“It’s okay, I think there are guests too..”
“Don’t think anything of it.. I’ll send him out, just wait.”
“It’s okay, Yeonjun.”
I shook his hand away and ran away. No, I ran away. That happened less than an hour ago.
Ha.. What kind of boogie-on-on would I enjoy with a human..
Really... I hate it...
“..Senior, why are you crying? What, what’s going on?”
“I’m not crying.”
“Water is running from my eyes right now.”
“Hey Taehyun. Why can’t I always get my way?”
"Just get up... and answer my phone, please."
"I heard you want to try dating, but I'm excited for the first time in a while."
"Do you want to be excited?"
Taehyun woke me up and threw me into the car. Am I a piece of paper?
My body felt like it was melting a little in the warm heater. That made me feel even sadder.
"I could be mistaken. But what does that matter? There's a woman lying in my bed. Huh? That doesn't make sense."
“So you ran out without listening?”
"..Yeah, let's go home. I want to be alone."
“I want to do that, but someone is chasing me.”
Startled, I looked back. Choi Yeonjun was running towards me, wearing only a short sleeve. I looked around twice, confirmed no one was there, and grabbed my hair.
Then I called someone.
Choi Yeonjun
The recipient was me. I deliberately avoided answering the letter and focused solely on Yeonjun, who was right next to me. Our car wouldn't be visible to anyone anyway, so even if it was the last time, I'd at least see it.
“You’re not answering the phone… Oh, this is driving me crazy.”
Just think of it as a Christmas present. Just think of it as a sweet dream.
I don't know what's so sad that tears are flowing down my face
Choi Yeonjun, who was seen in the midst of all this, was incredibly pretty. Taehyun, who was busily handing out tissues next to him, looked at him and asked, "Should we go now?", but he didn't answer.
At that moment, a woman, almost naked, came running in, and grabbed Choi Yeonjun's wrist. "What, kids these days... don't they even catch cold? If they keep running around like that, they'll catch a cold."
..That's not important. It's the woman who was lying on Yeonjun's bed earlier.
"Do you have a girlfriend, Yeonjun?"
"good"
“How could you go out and catch that woman after seeing me?”
"Ha... Seriously, why are you like this? Don't make me lose my feelings for you even when they never existed."
"...Hey, we were promised marriage. Don't talk nonsense."
"That's bullshit,"
I'm talking about before you got drunk and slept with another man.
The woman mumbled in embarrassment. That... That was my mistake!
The Fed ignored the woman and called her. The recipient was me.
“These days, friends are dating in a brutal way.”
“….”
"You still won't answer the phone after hearing that?"
“…It’s embarrassing to even accept it now.”
"Okay, then"
Taehyun started the car. I looked away. I wiped away my tears.
Let's go home.. I'll take Rudolph for a walk and take a warm shower..
Bang bang bang-!
"evil!!!!"
“…Is it Kim Yeo-ju inside? You’re Kim Yeo-ju. Hey, Santa.”
“What the heck, what does it look like!..“
“Come down! Come down and talk.”
To the people's eyes... it was an invisible car. I was so surprised that goosebumps ran down my body.
Am I the only one surprised? Yeonjun was still knocking on the passenger window, and Taehyun, who seemed unfazed, quietly swiped the steering wheel and opened his mouth.
"They say if you wish hard enough, you'll see Santa. It's true."
"what?…"
"It's a Christmas miracle. Didn't you know?"
At those words, the car door opened. Huh? Wait a minute! Kang Tae-hyun!
Yeonjun hugged me with all his might, even though I was at a loss.
My body is so cold.
"Hey Choi Yeonjun..."
“What if you just leave without listening to me? Are you trying to kill me?”
“What the hell do you think I am?”
"You're not a ghost, you're Santa. Why can't I see you?"
“….”
“Or maybe you’re my gift.”
My face suddenly turned red.
Before I knew it, Yeonjun's hand that was caressing my cheek felt cool.
Me too... I think I got a present too. I think Santa Claus gave it to me. A Christmas present.
"It's really a Merry Christmas, Yeonjun."
“…Christmas is over?”
“I’m cold. I want to go somewhere warm and warm up.”
"You have to go to my house. It has to be there."
“What are you going to do by taking me away?”
“You’re having strange thoughts again, Kim Yeo-ju...”
It was funny to see him walking home shivering in this cold.
Then why are you wearing short sleeves?
You ran away.
I should have brought a coat.
That wasn't the problem.
Santa was lonely too. That was until love came.
Merry Christmas to all.
