<A Wars they think of when they think of a poor family's christmas First, the idea that the family would have a happier Christmas than rich people Second, the idea that they'd be envious of the rich while they themselves starved aithout even a tree
They weren't very nice stereotypes at all At least, to Kaya it wasn't The Christic
It was just normal Of course, the tree was fake The turkey was dry The fruits weren't even that sweet But it didn't mean she was unhappy Her family enjoyed their humble lifestyle
With that in mind, this Christmas was the most difficult one Kaya's ever had to plan It could become the worst Christmas in her life, or it could becoht sound great on paper, but all it really did was make Kaya feel afraid
It was inevitable As excited as she was, theapart Kaya Lotus was the type to reject people in the fear of ruining existing relationshi+ps That cowardly mindset was rooted deep into her mind
Was it because of that? At five o'clock in the , Kaya felt herself waking up Her blurry vision cleared, and she realized Minjoon was looking at her worriedly
”Are you alright? I woke you since you kept htmare”
”…I don't know I think so? It felt really bad”
Kaya slowly lifted herself up from the bed Her shi+rt et from sweat Kaya carefully turned to look at Minjoon
”I reek of sweat, don't I?”
”So what? You had a nightmare”
”Should I take a shower?”
”Try to calitated You look like you're going to faint in the bathroo that Kaya looked at the light streaht What should she say when she meets her family? Who's supposed to lead the conversation? What if… they fight? The questions kept clawing at her h in unease Minjoon entered the roohed for a third time
”Here Have some water”
”Thanks”
Kaya put the cup to her ht smile Minjoon took a wet towel and wiped Kaya's face and neck Kaya felt herself letting out a slight s me like a patient? I'm not sick”
”Looks like it becauess”
”…Sorry I won't get sick anyet sick yourself, ok?”
”We have a saying back in Korea If we live, ether”
”Dying together ”
Minjoon smiled
”If I die… No, if It's just an if Stop it with that face What would you do if I died?”
”What do you think? I'd just keep thinking about you I can't just killthat Are you never planning on uy?”
”What about you?”
Kaya's eyes narrowed like a cat Minjoon stopped in theIt took a while, but the ansas short
”I can't”
”Not won't?”
”Yeah I feel like if you love soo away just because they're dead Yeah, you'll feel lonely, but…”
Minjoon scratched his nose a little He felt his face burn up a little After soain
”…Ithat loneliness”
”…Idiot”
Kaya swore alust Right then, Kaya hugged Minjoon Minjoon could feel the sweat on her chest touch him, but he didn't reallywith sadness
”My mom wasn't like that She couldn't take the sadness”
”The story's different though Your father…”
”Yeah He ran Ran from the debt That's why I understand her And I also understand… him”
”What's the problem, then?”
”Is there still love between them? No, he probably still thinks about mom sometimes I heard he's never met anyone else But does mom… Still like dad?”
”Who knows You'll have to think about forgiveness before you think about love in this case They aren't even married anymore, nor are they lovers Could it be… You want theain?”
Kaya opened herMinjoon understood All children crave parents They want their parents to be together They want parents that love each other
He felt like she was being greedy, but he couldn't say this She's suffered for so long Taking her tiny greed aould be too painful for her
”I… Hope my dad isn't a bad person Really I really do I want to hold mom's hand in one hand, and my dad's on the other I want to walk like that Is that… too immature?”
