❆ with the faint sound of frank sinatra's 'have yourself a merry little christmas' in the background, the two of you work to decorate kai's christmas tree.

kai, your childhood best friend, and ex-boyfriend, invited you to stay the night.

each ornament gets placed on the tree in an almost rhythmic manner, an unspoken harmony echoing your past love.

you can feel his eyes on you, and when you look over, kai turns away, softly humming along to the music.
