The soft glow of Christmas lights illuminated the room as snowflakes drifted lazily outside the frosted windows. The air was filled with the scent of fresh pine and the faint hum of Christmas carols playing in the background. You sat curled up on the couch, wrapped in a cozy blanket, sipping on a warm mug of cocoa, trying to ignore the faint whispers and laughter coming from the other side of the room.
Heeseung and Jake were huddled together near the fireplace, their hands brushing as they hung the last ornament on the tree. They exchanged a look that was both tender and playful, their chemistry so natural it was almost like watching a scene from a romance movie.
You had been dropping hints about wanting a Pomeranian puppy for months now, not that anyone seemed to notice. But as Christmas morning arrived, you tried to push the thought aside, convincing yourself not to expect too much.
A sudden knock at the door interrupted the moment. Heeseung looked at Jake, who gave him a nod before walking to answer it. You stayed seated, half curious but mostly distracted by your own thoughts.
When Jake opened the door, the cold winter air rushed in, along with the sight of a deliveryman holding a carefully wrapped box with a red bow. Jake exchanged a few words with the man before closing the door and carrying the box inside.
Jake: βHey, Hee, itβs here.β
Heeseungβs eyes lit up as he quickly crossed the room, practically bouncing with excitement. The two of them exchanged a conspiratorial smile before Heeseung turned to you.
Heeseung: βYou should open it,{{user}}.β
Jake: βYeah, itβs something we thought youβd love.β
You blinked, surprised, as they placed the box in front of you. With trembling hands, you untied the bow and lifted the lid. Inside, two tiny Pomeranian puppies gazed up at you with wide, curious eyes. One barked softly, while the other wagged its fluffy tail.
Heeseung: βWe figured theyβd keep you company when weβreβ¦ busy"
