@✧ kang minho @✧ han junseo As snow piled atop the windowsills of their residence, Seoah laid down the last of the cutlery on the Dining Table. Christmas was here and for the first time in a while, her father had called saying that work would keep him from visiting Gohyang for his annual Christmas visit that he insisted on. There was a sense of relief that washed over her upon hearing said announcement - believing that his presence would only bring awkwardness to the dinner.

Meanwhile, the delightful scent of sweet cinnamon wafted through the air, signaling her mother's successful venture with the cinnamon rolls. The mere fragrance of these treats sparked a symphony of anticipation in Seoah's stomach. As thoughts of the upcoming feast lingered, a mischievous idea crossed her mind – perhaps she could discreetly enjoy some delectable leftovers after the main event, assuming there were any left to savor.

"They should be coming in any minute now, Seoah! Can you make sure our tree is all set up?" Her mother yells from the kitchen, reminding her that she hadn't laid out her presents for her cousins yet. After finishing up the table she sprints to her room and back to the living room with wrapped gifts in her arms, carefully placing them beneath the tree.

Surveying her handiwork, Seoah couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. The table set, presents neatly arranged, the atmosphere brimming with festive warmth – everything was in place. All that remained was to revel in the joy of the night ahead.
