" As winter gracefully exits, it leaves behind a tapestry of memories, each snowflake telling a story of beauty and tranquility. "
Taehyung had still held you and the world had almost melted away. He drops a kiss on your forehead.
" It's just a few minutes away from the new year. " He whispers before peppering kisses on your shoulder.
" I'm glad we are starting it off together. " You smiled.
He entwines his fingers with you.
" I have a huge surprise for you. " He whispers making you furrow your eyebrows.
" Tell me, what is it. " You enquired.
" Tomorrow. At the press. " He winks.
And you knew that you would die out of curiosity by then.
You notice the time out of the corner of your eye.
" It's almost new year.
Ten..nine.."
And he continues the countdown.
" Eight.. seven.."
" Six..fivee..four.."
" Three...two...."
" ONE.."
Taehyung wraps his arms around you and pulls you into a tender kiss. You press closed completely lost in the moment.
Finally, he pulls back just for enough to whisper in your ear.
" Happy New year, Faye. "
" Happy new year, Tae. "
You both slipped back into the party. You noticed around to greet everyone around you. The people, the ambience and most importantly the love of your life infront of you , abiding by your side. You could not be much happier.

" Guess everyone is excited because of new year. " You mumbled to yourself smiling.
Colleagues greeted you with warm smiles and subtle whispers, that created a lot of mystery that left you both curious and bewildered.
The office, usually a symphony of tapping keyboards and ringing phones, now held an underlying energy, making it clear that something extraordinary was afoot.
Decorations from the New Year's celebration lingered, adding a festive touch to the professional workspace. Streamers adorned the walls, and a banner proudly proclaimed, "Happy New Year!"
As you walked through the familiar corridors, you could not help but notice the hushed conversations and knowing glances exchanged among your coworkers. The coffee room, usually a hub of casual chatter, had transformed into a hubbub of praises.
Entering the office room, you found your colleagues gathered, their attention focused on Taehyung at the front.
He had summoned an urgent meeting earlier this morning before starting off with the work for the next 365 days.
His charismatic presence hinted at something significant. Your heart raced with a mixture of curiosity and nerves.
"Good morning, everyone. I hope you all had a fantastic start to the new year. Today, I have an exciting announcement to make. As we had an important meeting earlier about the January edition of being released. " The heart of Winter Haven" , a beautiful masterpiece crafted by our very own Faye Kang , is now officially published. I know that everyone has already gone through it. And I'm glad that you all are liking it. "
The moment Taehyung announced the publication of your book, a wave of applause erupted, filling the room with genuine joy.
Your cheeks flushed with surprise, gratitude, and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
You could not believe what he said. How did this happen ?
So this was the surprise he was talking about?
About your dream to come into reality?
You could see everyone applauding loud for you as you stood still with an astonished look.
" Congratulations, Faye. This is incredible!" One of your colleagues remarked.
" What a way to start the year! Your book is amazing, Faye. It has everything a reader would wish for. " Said another one.
"We knew it was going to be good, but this is beyond expectations. Well done. " And the praise continues.
As congratulations and well-wishes flooded in, you couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and camaraderie among your colleagues.
The surprise announcement marked not only a significant moment in your career but also a celebration of shared success within the close knit community at Piquant Press.
You moved your gaze towards Taehyung who winked at you with a smile.
You didn't know how to thank him.
You really didn't.

You entered Taehyung's office, the soft glow of the city lights filters through the large windows, casting a warm ambiance in the room.
Taehyung stands by the window, gazing thoughtfully at the twinkling lights below. The hum of the city is a distant murmur.
You quietly approached him from behind. The plush carpet cushions your steps. The scent of fresh blooms mingles with the gentle fragrance of Taehyung's cologne.
You gently placed your arms wrapping it around your torso , backhugging hin.
His lips turn into a small smile recognising your presence.
" Thank you, Tae. I never expected this. It's such a wonderful surprise. I mean more than a surprise. " You cheered.
He grabs your wrist to pull you infront of him. He reaches for your waist to pull you closer.
" You deserve every bit of it, Faye. Your talent shines through, and this is just the beginning. " Taehyung strokes your hair gently.
" Here's to more successes, more surprises, and more moments like this." You whispered as your forehead connected against his.
" To us." He murmurs.
The snow, once pristine and untouched, now bore witness to the imprints of countless footsteps, symbolic of the journey you and Taehyung embarked upon together. Each step etched a story, creating an un erasable canvas of your shared moments.
The snow-capped rooftops and frozen landscapes began to yield to the gradual thaw, mirroring the warmth that had blossomed between you and Taehyung.
In your shared experiences, the bond between you had solidified, much like the icicles that clung to the eaves but now seemed to sparkle with a newfound luster.
As winter faded, so did the uncertainties that once lingered in your hearts. The canvas of your love story bore the hues of trust, understanding, and a shared vision for the future. It was a testament to the transformative power of love, which, like the changing seasons, brought forth new beginnings.
The city, still wrapped in remnants of winter's charm, embraced the promise of renewal. You and Taehyung stood at the threshold of a new chapter, your connection resilient and flourishing, much like the blossoming buds that signaled the arrival of spring.
The canvas of their love story continued to evolve, painting a picture that transcended the boundaries of time and seasons.
( A/n : Happy New year my fellow readers. :D have a great year ahead. )
