Winter may be cold, but it's the small things that make it a season of beauty and wonder. Embrace the magic, lovelies.
" So where are we heading today ?" Jungkook inquired after you four marked your feet outside near the townhall.
" Somewhere which would not disappoint you. " You smiled leading the way.
• Heart Lake , Winter Havan.
A winter wonderland has been created for the holiday season, transforming the lakeside into a magical haven of festive delights.
You, Taehyung, Jungkook, Avery, arrived at Heart Lake, where the air is filled with the joyous sounds of laughter and the soft crunch of snow beneath your feet.
The lake's surface is adorned with a layer of ice, creating the perfect setting for a charming ice-skating rink.
" Its truly breathtaking, Faye. I love it here. " Jungkook couldn't hold back his happiness but express it. You chuckled at his reaction. Your gaze transferred to Taehyung just to notice him already laying his eyes on you. You quickly glanced away. Your gaze was fixated on the serene expanse of Heart Lake.
You took a step forward before speaking. " Legend has it, that Heart Lake holds the echoes of a tragic love story. Long ago, in a winter much like this, two souls found each other amidst the beauty of this frozen haven." Everyone's attention sparked in curiosity.
" Fate, however, had other plans, they were star-crossed lovers, destined to be together yet kept apart by circumstances beyond their control. Their love, like the delicate ice on Heart Lake, was both beautiful and fragile. " The icy landscape seemed to absorb the weight of the tale, the frozen lake reflecting the somber mood of yours.
"They would meet here, on the ice, beneath the watchful gaze of the stars," your voice carried a haunting melody to which Taehyung was drawn immensely. "But alas, their love story ended in tragedy, leaving behind a legacy of love and loss that the lake itself seems to remember."
Jungkook and Avery exchanged a glance with each other, the atmosphere tinged with a sense of melancholy.
" Some say that their spirits linger on this lake, finding solace in the winter's embrace. Perhaps, even in tragedy, there's a beauty that endures." You shrugged.
As the echoes of your tale lingered in the air, Taehyung, his gaze fixed on you , took a step forward standing next to you, on the frozen expanse of Heart Lake, which contemplated the resonance of the story within the chambers of his thoughts.
"Tragic yet undeniably beautiful," he mused, the weight of your narrative settling in the quiet spaces of his reflections. "It's remarkable how the echoes of a love story can transcend time and weave into the very fabric of a place. "
The winter landscape, frozen in its quiet elegance, seemed to mirror the complexities of human emotions. Taehyung's eyes, usually filled with a charismatic spark, now carried a contemplative depth as he continued.
"Perhaps," he began.
"there's an inexplicable connection between the tragic and the enchanting. It's as if the lake holds the whispers of a love that, despite its sorrowful end, imparts a profound sense of beauty to the frozen canvas beneath our feet." Your storytelling had stirred something within him, a realization that the layers of your personality extended far beyond the workplace.
"In stories like these, we find reflections of our own vulnerabilities and aspirations. It's a reminder that love, in its various shades, is a force that shapes the narratives of our lives, leaving imprints on the landscapes of our hearts." Taehyung added, his voice taking on a reflective tone.
" Guys, chill out. Let's live this beautiful snowy moment. " Jungkook dragged you and Taehyung drifting you from the emotions that had rushed through you both after the heart lake's past.
The quartet laced up , skates by the edge of Heart Lake. You, Avery, Jungkook, Taehyung , surrounded by the picturesque scene, prepared for a shared adventure on the ice.
Jungkook, extending a hand to Avery, "Ready for this, Avery?"
Avery, with a playful smile, took his hand: "As ready as I'll ever be, Jungkook. As long as you don't let me fall. "
Jungkook grinned: "I've got you. Always." And in a flash of seconds , they slided and glided screaming their lungs out while going down the serene beauty.
Your smile and excitement widened. " This seems so fun. But this is also giving me chills. " You bit your lip mumbling to yourself, being quite nervous.
" It'll always be fun I promise. " A hand reached out in front of you, the voice was promising as ever.
"Shall we, Faye? " Taehyung had his confidence high as always. But there was something else which you were not able to make out. Feling a flutter in your chest, you accepted with a nod.
" Lead the way, Taehyung."
As you both glided onto the ice, a playful symphony of laughter and gentle banter was created.
" Avery, watch out for the cracks. You might fall for me." Jungkook winked casually while flirting , his never ending nature.
"Smooth, Jungkook. Real smooth." Avery grinned.
You and Taehyung shared a quiet moment, found yourselves in sync with the rhythm of your skating. The ice beneath seemed to echo the unspoken connection between.
"You're a natural, Faye. Who knew you could glide so effortlessly?" He complimented leaving you slightly blushed.
"Well, maybe your coaching skills are just exceptional, Mr. Kim. " You chuckled.
It was not just a skating adventure; it was a shared journey of laughter, love, and the sweet symphony of a spark.
A begining of a never ending spark.
As the wintry day at Heart Lake unfolded, Taehyung found himself entranced not only by the enchanting surroundings but also by the captivating essence of you. The laughter, skating, and shared moments, a profound warmth blossomed within him. He marveled at your storytelling prowess, your words weaving a spell that transcended the tragic tale you narrated. The delicate beauty of your narratives mirrored the intricate facets of your personality, unveiling layers of depth that went beyond the surface of their professional dynamics.
A sense of happiness enveloped Taehyung as he observed your eyes light up with each shared laugh and every twirl on the ice. Your genuine smiles painted the scene with hues of joy, creating a tapestry of shared moments that spoke to the evolving connection between them.
In the quietude of Heart Lake, Taehyung felt a growing fondness for your nature , a blend of professionalism and an alluring vulnerability.

11:20 pm.
You and Taehyung worked diligently in the hushed glow of holiday-adorned living room.
" You know, Faye, if our work was graded, we'd get an A+ in holiday spirit. " Taehyung spoke out of blue making you turn towards him.
"Who knew planning festive decorations required such dedication?But I guess that's what makes the dream work. " You chuckled.
" Speaking of dreams, ever dreamt of a holiday miracle? " He asked.
" Uhm- No? But I have heard about many. " You shrugged.
" Well you know... " the manuscript he was holding flicked as he closed it.
" I heard that holiday miracles often involve unexpected kisses. " He added which made you cough and widen your pupils.
"I, uh, sorry, Mr. Kim ? " You stammered.
" You seem a bit flustered, Faye. Is the holiday spirit getting to you more ?" Taehyung's tone was mischievous.
" Uh-m. No-o. I mean. It's really weird to see you in festive mood or talk about things like - ' holiday miracle ' or stuffs like that." You answered trying your best to keep your words clear.
" Ah, well, the holidays have a way of bringing out different sides of people. Consider this my festive alter ego. " Taehyung had an easy going grin.
You cleared your throat trying to regain your composure. "Right, your festive alter ego. I wasn't prepared for this sudden transformation." You buried your head back into your manuscript.
In the next moment, you could sniff his Cologne, very close to you. Your neck makes a swift moment to see Taehyung has taken a step closer to you on the couch. The gap between you both had been vanished. Your heart raced with his closure. Your pupils dilated.
Taehyung, with drop dead serious yet with a small subtle tone whispers. "You know Faye, you taught me that sometimes the best way to plan for the holidays is by being close to someone. It's like a secret ingredient for the perfect celebration." You didn't realise when your palms were intertwined gently with each others. And what's more surprising was, you didn't want to move back or hesitate. The contact was tender, and your heart echoed with the silent resonance of the touch.
" Mr. Kim--"
" Taehyung. It's Taehyung. " He corrected.
The atmosphere in the living room took on a new dimension. Taehyung, guided by an unspoken connection, gently encircles your waist with his warm palms heaving you towards his body.
The positioning was such that Taehyung faced the half side of yours, who sat straight, creating an intimate tableau on the couch. The flickering lights seemed to cast a dance of shadows.
You wanted to speak but words didn't seem to count. Taehyung's touch conveyed both assurance and a newfound tenderness.
"There's a certain magic in the way you make the holidays come alive." His murmur sent you chills.
You felt the proximity and the sincerity in his words, couldn't help but meet his gaze. The faces an inch away from each other, the stares competing without a blink , Taehyung, with his hand engulfing your waist and the other intertwined firmly with yours, rested his head on your shoulder.
" Your kindness, intelligence, and resilience weave a tapestry of qualities that elevate the atmosphere, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary ones." He spoke against your skin , your cheeks were tinted in pink. This behaviour of his was out of the blue and exceptionally shocking. Yet you were enjoying it. Some part of you told you not to pull back from this sparkling intimacy, the warmth in this coldy snowfall.
Your silence had a lot of cheerful and nervous emotions build up within your chest.
