Looking at herself in the mirror for the last time, Min Si exited her room. She saw Chae Rin trying to take her own pictures after placing her phone on the couch.

"I can click pictures for you." Min Si proposed and Chae Rin handed her phone to Min Si.

The cousins took solo pictures for each other while having a regular chat.

"Did you place order for dinner?" Min Si asked to stay assured.

"I did. The drinks are in the fridge. Cutlery is ready on the kitchen counter. And after the dinner we can divide the cleaning work." Chae Rin listed out the whole plan for the evening.

"You planned everything this time." Min Si didn't intend to say it out aloud but she did. Chae Rin was never the type to keep everything prepared and planned.

Chae Rin was a bit shocked at Min Si's words. "I got this habit from Soobin. I am the one who always plan dates, so he always tells me to prepare things in advance."

This made Min Si remember their middle school days, when they used to waste the whole hang out time in deciding the place. A smile appeared on her lips because of the nostalgia, she forgot she was posing for pictures.

She heard the click sound of the camera and got out of her trance.

"What are you smiling at?" Chae Rin teased showing her the candid, "I'll sell it to Yeonjun someday."

Min Si tried to snatch the phone from her cousin's hand but Chae Rin got up to open the door as the doorbell rang. She opened the door to see Soobin standing there with a paper bag in his hand. He pulled his girlfriend for a light hug but then he noticed Min Si standing there so he pulled away.

"Hello, Merry Christmas!" Soobin greeted Min Si with a shy smile, which showed off his dimples

"Merry Christmas!" She greeted back and let him inside the house.

He handed the bag he held to Chae Rin and said, "I brought icecream for all of us."

"Thank you, Soobs! " Chae Rin replied sweetly and signalled him to sit. He opened his jacket and Chae Rin placed it on the side table. She went to the kitchen to keep the icecream box in the refrigerator.

Meanwhile Chae Rin's cousin and her boyfriend awkwardly looked here and there.

"I'm Jang Min Si, Chae Rin's cousin." Min Si tried to start a small talk.

The guy smiled a little and replied, "She told me about you."

"We practically know each other then."

Chae Rin came back and saw both of them having a chat. Something in her liked her boyfriend and her sister getting along. Both of them were important for her.

The doorbell rang again. Chae Rin opened it as she was standing closer to the door.

Yeonjun looked a little taken aback seeing her at the door. He didn't want to but their previous encounter's embarrassment came back to his mind making his cheeks go a little pink.

She made way for him to enter. He had a box in his hand. He placed it on the table announcing, "My mom made some cookies."

The girls introduced the boys to each other and surprisingly the boys weren't much awkward with each other, making it difficult for the girls to believe that they were meeting for the first time.

"We should play a game!" Yeonjun suggested and the others agreed to it immediately.

Soobin had a perfect game in mind for a double date. "Should we start with that game where you test how much you know your partner?"

The others hesitantly nodded. The game started with Chae Rin who was pretty confident. Yeonjun handed both of them a paper and a pen and made them sit with their backs facing each other.

"Soobin's favourite colour?" Yeonjun asked and the couple started writing down their answer. After a year of dating it was too easy of a question for the couple so ofcourse they completed it pretty quickly.

Both of them showed their answer to Yeonjun at the same time and it did match.

"This time it'll be tough," Yeonjun warned them, "Soobin's most hated food?"

The game continued for some time with Soobin and Chae Rin, they got most of their answers correct but not all.

It was then Yeonjun and Min Si's turn. They sat with their backs facing each other and a paper in their hand.

Soobin asked the first question, "What is Yeonjun's exact height?"

Min Si was confident about this game. She had bribed Wooyoung and asked him the basics just a week ago. As expected she got it right. After Min Si got two consecutive correct answers Chae Rin understood that Min Si already knew the basics so she leveled up the game.

Min Si got some questions correct but some were wrong. Now it was Yeonjun's turn to answer.

"What is Min Si's favourite colour?" Chae Rin started it with a trick question. Min Si didn't have any favourite colour, she liked all the colours. She noticed Min Si's eye roll and giggled.

After writing down their answers they revealed it to Soobin. Yeonjun made a blind guess and had written blue which was wrong.

"You're in the very first turn!" Soobin commented laughing as Yeonjun covered his face in embarrassment.

Min Si slapped Chae Rin's arm lightly for the intentional difficult question. "Look at the protective girlfriend!" Chae Rin teased.

Chae Rin announced the next question, "What is Min Si's love language?"

Yeonjun thought about it for a few seconds and then wrote down his answer- words of affirmation. He was wrong again, Min Si's answer said quality time.

"How can you get this wrong?" She said annoyed.

The game soon ended and Soobin was the winner. Min Si was clearly disappointed but she acted fine.

Their food arrived soon so they sat for the dinner. Chae Rin recorded a little video of four them while eating to capture this beautiful memory.

"We should watch a movie after cleaning." Char Rin suggested.

"I'm sorry but I can't stay here for too long," Yeonjun spoke up, "We can plan a movie date next time." Hearing him Min Si lost her appetite. She wanted this Christmas to be special but she was now upset.

"I think we should reheat the broth." Min Si said picking up the broth bowl. She carefully walked to kitchen and placed the bowl in the microwave. After heating it for a minute she took out the bowl and while walking back to the dinner table it accidentally slipped from her hands. The pot broke and the broth spilled everywhere including her legs and a little on Soobin and Yeonjun's jeans. The hot broth burned her skin making her yelp in pain.

Yeonjun immediately stood up to heal her wounds, forgetting that there were two other people but Soobin held his arm to stop him.

"There are glass pieces on the floor, be careful."

Chae Rin got up asking, "Are you ok?" and carefully took Min Si to her bathroom to run cold water on her legs.

"We'll clean up the glass pieces." Soobin notified the girls.

Yeonjun was still worried about Min Si, he kept looking towards her room.

Soobin held Yeonjun's wrist and took him to a safe corner. "It didn't get spilled on you right?"

"No, it didn't. Are you ok?"

"I'm alright."
