    A free week in Korea has ended, a mountain of work is waiting for her. Returning to London alone, although not at all tired, could not linger any longer. Sit on the plane to check the schedule to attend Fashion Week. She sighed, it was almost a full week, all the brands wanted to launch gorgeous outfits for the new year. The organization's emails were also thoroughly checked by her, internal meetings she could not attend, or confidential documents. Luna has no intention of taking a break, this is the only time she has the freedom to move around and work, she should make the most of it.

   The airport is still busy during the holiday even though it's 2 am. When the door opened, a familiar figure was already there waiting for her.   
    "Jinnie~~" Luna happily ran as soon as she saw it
   "Slowly," he said to follow. A warm hug for today's weather, familiar.
   "Are you tired?" he asked as he moved her away - "Very happy, Suga said he will be back before the new year" Luna excitedly told him. With one hand pushing the suitcase for her, one hand holding the small hand tightly, he nodded slightly "She informed me, now let's go home"
     She loves to travel, that's why she doesn't feel tired even after a long flight. Returning home at 5 am, her parents are on a business trip in France, and her sister is in Italy for the week, she does not find it strange.
   "Let me cook for you something" Jin after helping her
   "Aren't you tired?" Luna asked again – "I've only slept for a week" Jin replied as she went straight to the kitchen – "Woah, especially you" she raised her index finger to show her surprise.      Jin made Pork Pie for two, actually just peeled the cake that was already made at the supermarket and put it in the oven. 
  "I cook better but it's not too bad" Jin said after eating half of the cake. - "Ah yes" she is no stranger to him.
     Breakfast and tea at 6 am is too early for the standard, British people eat breakfast quite late, especially on holiday. So now the two of them don't know what to do, she has a schedule until the afternoon. 

    After she finished taking a shower, it was already 7 o'clock. Back in the living room, the TV was still broadcasting the Christmas program and Jin had already fallen asleep on the sofa. Feeling guilty for disturbing him at 1 am, Luna decided to turn off the TV so as not to bother Jin's sleep. Lightly cover him with a blanket from his room, adjust the woodpile in the fireplace, drop the curtains so that the light doesn't disturb him. She also didn't know what to do next, so she sat next to him under the cotton carpet, took a corner of his blanket and put it on her shoulder, pulled out a document to read to pass the time. Sometimes she would rest her hand on the sofa and look at the sleeping brown squirrel, the peace he brought to her that made her feel close.
     The two people were illuminated by the opposite pink flame, the shadow appeared behind them as if moving in the light of the fire, the room was warm and quiet with only the light breathing of both of them. Being busy looking at him makes her thoughts flood, regretting the cold future ahead, but when she remembers Min's words, she just hopes that they can come back soon. Contradictions were at war inside her, she secretly wished time would stop, so she could be with him a little longer. 
    "What if I'm no longer here? How should I start over if my world no longer exists you..."
      Gathering up her courage, she lifted herself up a little, his face appearing closer to hers. Luna kissed him lightly on the cheek and whispered "be happy". An unanswered whisper, a secret confession, and a wish on a wry smile. Hoping that her actions didn't wake up the other person, she shyly rushed into the kitchen, looking for a cup of hot chocolate.
    It was 2:00 pm, she had finished preparing herself and woke Jin up or else she would be late.He and she went to the first show on the schedule together. By the time it ended, it was 10 pm, she was too tired to eat, so Jin had to take her home.
   "See you tomorrow" Luna said goodbye to Jin at the gate
   "Thank you for..." Jin started to blush – "Because?" – "Because of the kiss" Jin said and got in the car right away. Luna froze her face as red as a tomato. So he's not really sleeping, oh my! It took 1 minute to regain consciousness to enter the house, she went straight to the bedroom and covered the blanket. Too shy to go!.
    

     During a week filled with the catwalk lights of big brands, Jin was a bit overwhelmed. Being dragged by Luna to all Balmain, then to Armani Privé, then to JacQuemus, Tommy Hilfiger, ... made the young master shiver. If it weren't for this girl who insisted on asking Jin to go with him, he would be hiding under a warm blanket by now.   The last show of the week was by Yves Saint Laurent - Sum&Fall, Jin secretly rejoiced.
    "Is there a surprise?" Luna returned to her seat after going inside to meet someone – "What's up?" Jin asked. 
    "Just wait" she smiled – "Sounds mysterious" he squinted at her
   
     The show started, the models strode one after another with bright summer outfits, then elegant autumn outfits. And when a male model passed Jin, he was almost surprised by the outfit. He turned his face to look at her as if to confirm and was met with a small smile from her.        "How.." he doesn't know what else to say – "Thank you for giving me great inspiration" Luna is grateful for that - "Merry Christmas Jin"
     "What a meaningful gift, I'm really proud of you" Jin replied Luna was glad Jin recognized it, it was designed for him. Exactly, she designed 7 items in all for them and plans to give them back when they spend New Year's Eve at Jin's house. But as she talked behind the scenes, the thought of showing it off to the most important person flashed through her mind. Thinking like that all the way home, until the car stopped, she still couldn't get out.
     "What's wrong?" Jin had opened the door for her ever since, noticing that the people in the car had no intention of getting off, he bent down to ask.
    "Oh, nothing" Luna quickly got out of the car - "Thank you for coming with me today, I'll come back" 
   "Wait" Jin hesitated - "Hm?" she asked again
    He leaned down and kissed lightly on the cheeks that were rosy from the cold, the light vanilla scent lingering on his nose, moved it shyly "Merry Christmas...my love" and quickly got into the car. Oh, shy again! she touched her ripe face. 
    Without the noise to attract attention, Luna brought Jin the best Christmas present. Right now, what he needs is love in a foreign land. It was warm, contained her sincerity in it, it reassured him.-------
