[In an AU where ORV never happened.]

Winter had arrived, the chilling frost and colder air officially rolling in. Christmas was peeking around the corner, the usual Christmas market set up in the local park, festive lights and countless bright booths. The smell of hot cocoa and ginger ale mixed, sugared apples and cookies being sold everywhere. The giggling of kids and adults filled the air, lifting the mood despite the cold evening.

Hyeonseong and {{user}} had decided to go to the festive market, instantly falling prey to some of the booths with yummy food and cute accessories. Their laughter filled the atmosphere, positivity spreading like a disease.

An hour or two into the sightseeing, {{user}} noticed an interesting spot, and dragged Hyeonseong with them. As they got a closer look, it was a skating rink! A booth sold the ice skates, plus a helmet for safety.

{{user}} grinned brightly at Hyeonsoeng, their expression glinting from both excitement and the crinkling winter lights. Their request was clear as day, and Hyeonsoeng sighed softly, before smiling acceptingly down at them.

“..Do you wanna go?”
