First Snow

Taehyun woke up in the middle of the night, he sighed in annoyance.

This happened way too often, sleepless nights. Fresh air.

Quickly putting on a jacket for the cold weather, he walked out of his dorm and to the rooftop.

Upon entering, he saw a familiar figure sitting down on the cold floor in the far corner of the rooftop.

What's she doing here?

"Y/N?"

He asked, sitting next to the girl who had her eyes closed with earbuds.

"Y/N."

He lightly shook her to see if she was awake. Y/N groggily opened her eyes.

Taehyun who loved looking into them, for the first time was scared.

Blood red.

"Y/N...why are your eyes red?"

He asked, looking into them.

"Just a bad dream hyun."

She replied, sighing.

"Music?"

She asked, taking out the other earpod from it's case. But Taehyun, was focused on something else.

Tae....

"Taehyun, do you wanna listen to music?"

She asked, her being the one to shake him this time.

"Huh? Oh yeah, sure."

He said, nodding his head quickly and taking the earpod she was offering.

"It's cold...."

She muttered as the snowflake gracefully lands on Y/N's nose, its intricate design contrasting against the warmth of her skin. A tiny, frosty kiss, leaving a delicate chill and a sweet realization.

First snow.

"It's snowing."

The now black haired boy muttered.

"It is. Also when did all of you dye your hair. And why was I not invited? And why did you let Beomgyu cut his hair short? Ara was literally crying for a few minutes."

Y/N asked, sitting up.

"Oh yeah, last evening, Yeonjun hyung panic dyed his hair and we kinda followed, I feel like we might change it again soon."

Taehyun answered.

An hour passed, the rooftop was now covered with a thin layer of delicate white crystals.

And soon, the song the two loved played.

Don't cry, snowman, not in front of me

Who'll catch your tears if you can't catch me, darling?

If you can't catch me, darling

Taehyun stood up, Y/N's eyes travelled up to him and looked at him with a questioning look. The boy extended his arm for the girl to take it. "Do I....?"

She asked, taking out her hand from her pocket. "Yeah." He replied and pulled the girl up once she held his hand.

Don't cry, snowman, don't leave me this way

A puddle of water can't hold me close, baby

Can't hold me close, baby

Taehyun spinned himself and the girl, running to the middle of the rooftop.

Chuckling, the girl ran behind him, their hands entwined. The boy stopped in his tracks, holding out his hand for the girl's other hand. Smiling, she gave him her other hand, hoping he wouldn't yeet her off of the five floored building.

"I want you to know that I'm never leaving

'Cause I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing

Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons

So come on, let's go."

The boy slowly swayed themselves around, singing the lyrics, pulling her in and stepping back every now and then.

They were slow dancing.

But he paused, signing her to sing the next verse. Sighing, Y/N smiled at him before singing along with the song.

"Let's go below zero and hide from the sun

I love you forever where we'll have some fun

Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily

Please, don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas, baby

My snowman and me

My snowman and me

Baby"

Y/N paused, chuckling.

"Can we just dance until the song ends?"

Y/N asked, throwing her self esteem out the rooftop.

Taehyun nodded, smiling like an idiot.

Don't cry, snowman, don't you fear the sun

Who'll carry me without legs to run, honey?

Without legs to run, honey

Don't cry, snowman, don't you shed a tear

Who'll hear my secrets if you don't have ears, baby?

If you don't have ears, baby

I want you to know that I'm never leaving

'Cause I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing

Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons

So come on, let's go

Let's go below zero and hide from the sun

I love you forever where we'll have some fun

Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily

Please, don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas, baby

My snowman and me

My snowman and me

Baby.

The girl stood in the middle of an endless void, looking at her half dead friend lying on the floor, with blood seeping out of his chest.

"Y-yeonjun hyung....."

She whimpered, looking at the limp figure.

"It's your fault Y/N."

She heard a voice say from behind her, turning around quickly, she saw Soobin standing there with blood dripping from his mouth and neck. The girl gasped, looking at the ground.

"Y/N...."

She heard another voice.

"Huh?"

Turning around to the source, she saw Huening kai lying limply on his floor, he had blood slowly flowing out his gut and his mouth.

Faster than she could realize, Taehyun appeared right infront of her.

"Tae-"

"Run."

Y/N let out a gasp at the sharp force she felt that cut through her back.

Looking down, she saw a knife piercing through her abdomen.

She looked up, Taehyun wasn't there.

But Beomgyu was, looking at her with a menacing grin.

"H-hyung...."

And she woke up.

Quickly getting up from her bed, Y/N chugged down the glass of water beside her and left the dorm room to the rooftop in the sweats that Taehyun had lended her a long while back.

Y/N walked all the way to the other end of where she had come in through.

Looking over the cement wall that raised till her chest, Y/N checked the height.

Perfect for suicides, ofcourse.

The girl, climbed up and stood there, ready to plummet.

No.

And she got down.
