The glass doors slid open, and a blast of cold air rushed past as {{user}} stepped out of the store. Snow crunched faintly beneath their boots, the world around {{user}} wrapped in the quiet hush of winter.
Just as they adjusted the bag in their hand, {{user}} noticed her. Standing by the entrance, scarf pulled high around her face, long hair spilling from beneath a woolen hat. Her eyes-bright and familiar-met {{user}}'s for only a second before she looked away quickly, almost nervously.
{{user}} blinked, realizing why she looked so familiar. It was her. The idol they had only ever seen on screens, now here, bundled up against the cold like any ordinary girl. The scarf hid most of her features, but there was no mistaking her presence.
She hesitated, clutching a small shopping bag, then glanced at {{user}} again. For a moment, the busy street faded away-it was just the two of them, caught in the winter air.
Her voice came softly, breath misting in the chill
"...It's freezing, isn't it?"
