It was 25th of December, Christmas.

'Beep-beep-beep'

After pressing the snooze button for about tenth time, I finally decided to get up. I looked at my phone and realized it was 12 pm, which didn't really matter because I won't be having plans until 9 pm. I decided to slowly get myself ready, since I'm probably going to be bored throughout the whole day, with feeling of nervousness and excitement.

I headed outside with just carrying my wallet and my phone and stepped into the elevator.
As soon as I reached first floor, my phone started vibrating inside my pocket.
I unlocked the phone and read the text message that I got from my friend.

' Hey, come out and let's spend the day together! '

Who else could it be... Of course, it's Elsword. I thought to myself that it wouldn't hurt to hang around with him until the clock reaches nine so I simply replied 'Sure' and stepped outside.

Soon, I reached a park that Elsword goes often to play sports, but of course, since it's middle of the winter and the ground is frozen with ice, it's impossible. But this crazy friend of mine likes to act like he's 'ice skating' the basketball court and always end up tumbling down. And just as I predicted, he was doing that.

Embarrassed, I faced palmed myself and yelled out,

"Elsword! "

He turned around and smiled at me as he waved his hand back as reply. From the corner of the court, there was Eve, who seemed to be in a date with him. I guess Eve was embarrassed by her own boyfriend, so she acted like she was playing a game with her phone, far away from Elsword.

They both walked toward me and greeted me.

"Aye, Chung!"

"Hello, chung."

They greeted at me at the same time and I chuckled at how these two are so alike yet so different, maybe that's why they ended up together.

"Where do you guys wanna go now?"

"I thought you were going to skate with him, El."

Elsword looked at me nervously, scratching the back of his head.

"Uh... NO."

I replied and with the corner of my eye, I saw Eve trying to hold her smile.

"Aw, come on!"

Elsword said, with his shoulder scrunched down with disappointment.
Eve patted his back, which turned into a smack, and Elsword looked at her with tear on edge of his eyes.

"Let's just go somewhere now."

She said, and led us to downtown.

The Christmas tree that was the center of this downtown was shining brightly as the sun shined through the edges of leaves.
The proud tree attracted many crowds, and people were taking pictures in front of them with variety of poses.
Elsword grabbed Eve's hand and handed me his camera, telling me to take picture of the couple.

I pressed the camera button and on the screen, there was Elsword and Eve, with Elsword hugging Eve so tightly that it looked like she was having trouble, but she didn't mind at all and lightly hugged him back. I pressed the camera button and the picture stayed in the screen for few seconds. I realized that they were so happy to be together and I just had a quick thought of Aisha and I replacing the faces of the picture. The thought quickly passed by as Elsword and Eve came strolling down to see the picture that was taken.

Soon, we decided to have lunch together, which was all on Elsword since he said he was the one who called both of us down to the park.
As we were talking about different kind of conversations, the warm foods were served to our table.

"Hey Chung, where's our gift?"

Elsword asked me as he was gulping down his food, so I couldn't hear his mumble but apparently, I did.

"Where's my gift?!"

Eve yelled at him sarcastically and Elsword replied as 'Surprise surprise!'
The question suddenly reminded me of what I should give to Aisha.
I still had around five hours to get her present, but no matter what I choose, the results of her reaction will be different.

"Hey, what's a good present for girls?!"

I suddenly yelled at two, but I guess people around us heard my scream too.
I scratched my head with embarrassment as Elsword laughed at me.

"Depends on the girl, but I would like something from Elsword!"

Eve said again with hint of joke in her voice, but it seems like Elsword didn't realized she was being sarcastic.

"Calm down Eve, I said it's a surprise!"

Eve snorted silently as she faced away from Elsword and ignored him.

"So, who is this girl you're talking about?"

Elsword said with one of his eye brow raised, which made me want to puke at his face.

"Um, I don't think you know her."

"What about similar kind of scarf you own, Chung?"

Eve joined the conversation out of no where, but she just brought up an amazing idea.


The clock reached 8 o'clock and I decided to leave the couple alone so they could have some time together, and it was time that I should leave anyway to go meet Aisha. The sun was already down and the moon was up high in the sky, giving off the beautiful shine. If the sun was shining bright through the leaves of the tree, the moon glistened on top of the leaves. There was many people in the streets, but it was quiet. Everyone was walking silently as they enjoyed the day of Christmas. The only sound that could be heard was a mother yelling at her kids, telling them to be careful as they ran on top of the snow, or crowds of people stepping the snow as it made a crunchy noise.

Somehow, there was stars visible on the night sky. If it was an usual day, they wouldn't be seen due to the polluted city air.
But tonight for once, they were giving off their light and life as they stood on the dark sky.

I walked into a mall, which was quiet as well. There was warm orange-yellow lights everywhere with open stores and I walked in women's shop. Since the weather is cold, there was many winter clothes everywhere. I walked into the accessories section and found different color of scarves. I looked down and saw my own scarf, which is a maroon colored. I looked at the mannequin and the accessories section, but couldn't find a maroon colored scarf.

"Excuse me, but is there maroon colored scarf here?"
"Sorry, it just sold out."

I asked one of the employee, but she said it was sold out as she shook her head. I nodded in disappointment and turned back to see other variety of colors available. As I was searching around, I found one that's similar as maroon color. If you just glanced at it, it's maroon but when I looked at the tag, it said burgundy color. It's not exactly what I expected, but this was close enough so I decided to purchase this.

I walked out the store with a tiny squared paper bag on my right hand and walked out to taste the cold air again.
I looked at my phone to see the time and it was already 8:30. If I head out to the cafe right now, it will be 9:00 so I decided to walk there.

I know the lyrics to this song doesn't really match the story at all, but just enjoy the melody of it. XD


Chime of bell welcomed me as I opened the cafe door.

"Welcome to Cafe Bene!"

Just like the first day I came here, Aisha welcomed me, but this time, she knew I was coming so her smile was bigger than ever. I walked to the counter and waited for Aisha to come and take my order. But she was making coffee on the other side of the counter and no one else was coming to take my order. I looked around in confusion and that's when Aisha handed out a cup of coffee to me.

"Vanilla Latte!"

I chuckled at the sight of her as I thanked her and walked to the usual spot I usually sit down: next to the window where I could see the Christmas tree on the other side of the street. Every time I looked up from my phone to look at Aisha, she would always be staring at me and when our eyes met, she quickly turned around, but I could see her ears turning red. I was going to text her to fool around, but I noticed that she was busy with all the customers coming in, so I just decided to play quick rounds of games in my phone.

I was playing a racing game, and was about to hit my best record and that's when I heard a little

"BOO!"

"Oh my freaking god!"

My hand slipped and the phone dropped top on my lap, which just made me lose.

"Aisha!"

I looked up at her with a look saying 'that's so unfair!' But she stuck her tongue out at me as her eyes were smiling.

"My work is over, let's go!"

She said as she grabbed my hand and I had to quickly grab my coffee and the bag.
The door chimed again as we opened the door and she stopped right in the front as snow started to fall.

"Perfect timing."

She mumbled under her breath as one snow landed on top of her nose and the body heat melted away.

"Let's go to the tree!"

She exclaimed, still not letting go of my hand and leading me to the location of the tree.

Soon, we stopped in front of the tree, which still had many people surrounding it, but we found our own where there was enough space to take pictures. Aisha handed me her phone, which I took picture of and I also took out my phone and took picture of her, which made her laugh.

We pointed out different kind of decorations on the tree and took more pictures of it and laughed.
And soon, she grabbed my hand again and said,

"Let's go now! Where do you want to go, Chung?"

Suddenly, it felt like there was sweat running down my neck.
My hand started to feel cold and sweaty, which was embarrassing and made my face turn red.

"Wait, Aisha!"

She turned around and and looked at my eyes. I tried not to look away and look straight into the violet eyes of hers.

I took out the burgundy colored scarf from the bag. Aisha's gazed turned down to the scarf as she looked at it with confusion. I wrapped the scarf around her neck around- and around.. as she looked down at the scarf and touched it with the tip of her fingers.

"Aisha."

I said, as I gazed at her. My eyes and my voice was shaking, and I bet she can see the sweat rolling down on side of my face.

"Will you be my girlfriend?!"

I said, as I closed my eyes and looked down, not being able to resist my face turning hot red, which I didn't want to show her.

Aisha wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged my lightly.

"This better be your best 25th day of December. Ever."

She said, and she let go of me. I looked at her with surprise filled in my eyes.

"Merry Christmas, Chung."


Sorry for the late upload, but I finally uploaded it and the 25th day is over!

I think the ending was kind of bit rushed, because I didn't know how to make it longer but I didn't want to drag the story.

If you expected a kiss of Chung and Aisha, then too bad! XD You can just imagine them kissing instead of hugging then, lol.

I wasn't going to include Elsword and Eve as couple in this story, but DigiDawg2's comment just made me write about them, so thank you for that idea, lol! XD

Also, thank you for the reviews!
