Coffee?

Here's the Plan [Y]

Yeonwoo POV

...

December 23rd.

Two days before the international holiday and a day before I do something big for a certain someone ... God, I hope tomorrow pulls through.

Here's the plan: I asked Daisy not to say a single thing to Nancy, to play dumb about whatever she knows, and to come by tonight to help me set up the place for tomorrow's party. I also plan on telling Hyebin and her friends so they can help me out too.

Umm, did you expect more?

Yeah... I didn't really get that far.

But, I did get her a gift when I ran into the mall the day we baked cookies - it's a good thing I hid it well under all my One Piece books.

Also, as last minute as it was, I was going to help Hyebin, Jane, Taeha, and Nayun pick up some gifts down at the Christmas market and anywhere around the district. For this reason, Hyebin is closing up the shop early so we could have more time exploring our options.

...

It was starting to warm up to me; all the bustling and exercise I got from being in the store - but I mean nowadays, Hyebin, Daisy, and I are better prepared and have a whole system going on.

"Yeonwoo-ah, almost done cleaning the machines?"

"Yeah. You done counting the register?"

"Yeah," Hyebin chuckles.

"Aight, I'll lock up - just call the rest down here," I say as I walk towards the entrance of the shop.

"You guys are a little late on that."

I turn around to see Jane, Nayun, and Taeha rocking their ugly Christmas sweaters and winter gear, "I'm so ready to go out for once," Nayun sighs.

As I turned the open sign to say "closed," Hyebin went over to a corner to turn on the bright Christmas lights that were strung around the store. The reds, blues, and greens illuminated throughout the store and it made the other decorations shimmer.

When I walked towards the group, I couldn't help but notice how cute they all looked in the sweaters and I laughed, "I love what you're wearing guys."

Jane tsk-ed and said to me, "Speak for yourself."

I look down at my red sweater with a cute pudgy reindeer drinking coffee, "Ya, this is a tasteful shirt. Taeha, what do you think?"

She snorts, "Beautiful."

"Thank you," I sarcastically replied.

Nayun steps in while raising her hand like a school girl, "Ya! My sweater is pretty cool - look, it can light up!" She reaches under the hem of her shirt and surely enough, the Christmas tree on her sweater starts blinking different coloured lights.

"Woah," the three of us say in awe.

"YOO! Let's go, we don't have all day!" Hyebin calls out.

The rest of us snapped out of it and headed to the door, "Okaaayy mom," Taeha waves off.

Hyebin slaps the back of her head, "YA!" and we all just laughed.

Once we stepped outside, I immediately heard Carollers and the crunch of snow beneath their feet. I saw stores around us lit with Christmas lights and the smells of nutmeg and gingerbread filled the streets.

It was simply beautiful outside.

While we walked to the bus stop, I couldn't help but wonder when I'll push my confession on them.
