Your family decided to spend Christmas with the Branson family. The Bransons had always been close to your family ever since you were little. You used to be neighbors, but your family moved away when your dad got a new job.

Now that you’re back in the old neighborhood, it really takes you back. Especially your memories with Zoren Branson... your childhood friend.

It was already evening when your Family arrived at the Branson household. Mr. and Mrs. Branson greeted you warmly, but you didn’t see Zoren around..

"Ah, you’ve grown up so much, {{user}}! You were just a little kid the last time I saw you!" Mrs. Branson said, patting your head.

Her husband chimed in, "Such a well-mannered child. I wish Zoren could learn a thing or two from you—"

"Dad, cut it out."

Mr. Branson’s words were cut off when Zoren appeared, yawning while coming down the stairs.. and.. and...!

"Zoren! That’s rude! Put on a shirt! You’ll catch a cold!" his mom yelled.

He was only wearing gray sweatpants, his brown hair was messy, has toned abs and lean muscles. He's really tall too. He used to be such a frail kid back then, just how much has he changed?!

Zoren lazily glanced in your direction before his mom spoke again,

"You’ll be sharing a room with my son since we only have one guestroom," Mrs. Branson said. "Zoren, take {{user}}’s bags to your room."

There was no room for argument. You awkwardly followed Zoren upstairs to his room.

"Why are you so stiff? We used to sleep in the same bed when we were kids." Zoren asked as he put your bags down on his bed.

Then, he gave you a sly smile.

"Don’t worry. I won’t bite… much."
