Jimin's POV

"Okay so it will be me, Taehyung, and Jungkook in one vehicle and Suga, Namjoon, Jin, and Hoseok in the other."

Jin pouted "Sadly, that'sB the way it must be."

"Hyung are you sad because Namjoon will be with you or because you wont be along with him?"

Jin twisted my left ear "You and Taehyung have been testing me since I got here."

"HYUNG STOP STOP STOP IT HURTS! AHH IM SORRY PLEASE LET ME GO!" he let go of my ear after twisting it one more time "Ouch my precious ear." I said rubbing it in attempt to sooth it.

Taehyung massaged my ear and kissed it before turning angrily towards Jin "I don't understand why you get so angry when mention the obvious romantic relationship between you and Namjoon. We have all been out as bisexual since high school, there is no reason to get angry and physically hurt one of us over something like this."

Hoseok put his arm over Taehyung's shoulder "Okay everyone let's calm down and enjoy this trip. We have been so busy in our own lives that our brotherhood has been slightly weakened."

I held my head down "Hoseok is right, it has been years since all seven of us has been in one place at one time. Hyung if me joking about the relationship between you and Namjoon really bothers you then I would like to apologize, and I will stop talking about it from here on out."

Taehyung also held his head down "Yeah, me to, I am sorry for joking about whatever type relationship you and Namjoon have it was not my attention to make you angry or feel uncomfortable. Can you forgive us?"

Jin quickly hugged the both of us "Of course I forgive you to, I will always forgive you two no matter what. I am simply confused about- it doesn't matter I was just being my overly sensitive self. And Jimin I am sorry for hurting you are you okay?"

"It's okay hyung we were all at fault let's forget about it and start this trip off fresh."

Jin took a deep breath "Okay I am absorbing Hoseok's energy and there will be nothing but happy vibes from now on, well for as long as I can maintain."

Hoseok laughed "Chanel as much energy you need I have more than enough to spare."

Walking outside we see surface of our cars that was once a glossy black, but in the early morning it glistened pale under a layer of fresh snow. On such mornings it's become my habit to lay my hand down flat on the hood of my car to leave a print on the soft snow, I guess that's just the kid in me breaking out for a little exercise, a little dance in the sun.

"Jimin-ssi you have been doing that since we were kids." Jungkook shook his head laughing at me.

"It's a habit I can't help it." I pouted.

"Jin hyung I have to ask, are you and Namjoon... you know... are you two dating?" Jungkook suddenly asked.

Jin looked at Namjoon nervously "Umm- we..."

Jungkook waved his hands "You don't have to answer that, I just always thought you guys were together since high school."

Namjoon sighed and held Jin's hand "We are each other's long term crushes, but us being so busy with our career created a distance between us hindering us from advancing our relationship any further." He then looked into Jin's eyes "Hopefully, the status of our relationship changes soon, who knows what surprises this trip will bring."

"Aww the love is in the air I can almost taste it." I dramatically sniffed the air.

Hoseok, our little ball of sunshine, jumped up and down in excitement "See, now this what I like to see. This is going to be so much fun."

Yoongi placed his hands on Hoseok's shoulders "Okay bring it down a little energizer bunny, you are at a hundred I am going need you to bring your energy down to a thirty for now."

"Okay fine I guess I can preserve some of my energy for later." Hoseok pouted.

"Thank you. Everyone load up into your perspective vehicles make sure you have everything you need and want to bring because there will be no turning back, understand?" Yoongi has always been the dictator of the group.

"We need to stop at the gas station to fill up and get some snacks for the road." I informed.

He got into the driver seat "Okay lead the way, you know this area better than I do."

Y/N's POV

I looked out the windowpane, debating if I should I go into town to get some supplies before the weather gets bad. The weather forecaster said there will be a vast snowstorm heading this way to soon render my house in such a pretty Christmas-white. Finally making up my mind, I put on my coat, mittens, scarf, and beanie before heading out the house.

As much as love winter this time of year has always been bittersweet for me. I spent most of my life in an orphanage a few towns over from here. I watched as friends were adopted and moved on with their new families. I always wonder why I was never picked, what was wrong with me? As a child I felt lonely, even if I wasn't alone.

It is hard to admit even to ourselves that we are lonely, but over time you learn how to lessen the pain. So, when we are brave enough to feel the loneliness instead of allowing our brains to distract us from the pain, we can then begin the process of solving loneliness on a personal and social level. For example, Jolly Springs, the small town I stumbled into five years ago is my refuge, a place of such a caring society. Being in this place, around these people, my loneliness slowly faded away but there is still a void in my heart. Something that I have been aware I was missing for years.

I looked up into the white sky "My wish this Christmas is to find a campion, a comforter, a best friend, the love of my life... my soulmate."

Finally, I can see neon open sign of Mr. Clark's Crafts and Goods. I placed freezing covered hands on the handle of the door and pushed it open. The heat engulfed me in a loving and nurturing hug bringing the warmth that evacuated my body moments ago.

"Good morning Y/N, what can I get for you today?" Mr. Clark the store owner asked with his normal cheerful self.

I chuckled "Good morning to you too Mr. Clark I just came to get a few supplies before the storm comes. How have you and Mrs. Clark been?" I asked while placing a few candles, flashlights, batteries, ornaments, and a few snacks into my basket.

"I have been taking care of my store and Mrs. Clark has putting up decorations for the past week, you know how she gets."

"How can I forget? The three days ago I helped her she had me on the roof for hours hanging lights and adjusting her land ornaments. My back still hasn't recovered from the trauma."

Mr. Clark laughed "Oh my goodness my deary I'm sorry you fell on the short end of her excitement. How about I have my wife bake you some of her famous cookies."

"That would be wonderful." I said placing my items on the counter "How much do I owe you?"

"It's on the house."

"No, I can't allow you to do that you have a business to run."

"That's not something you have to worry about sweetheart, think of it as an early Christmas present."

"Okay Mr. Clark, have a good day." I said waving goodbye.

Y/N raised a gloved hand to shield her eyes. She had anticipated the coldness and the sting of driven snow on her face, but not the ferocity of the wind and how the light blinded her. It was like walking into a fresh page as the fibers are still being laid down, threatening to make her part of the scenery instead of a person in her own right. All she could do was to bow her head until her chin touched her chest and keep walking. Though her feet were beginning to freeze, and her footsteps were small, sinking in past her ankles with each stride, she knew that each step took her closer to the awaited coziness of her home.

Making it to the comfort of my home I took off my damp closed and place my snow-covered shoes in the shoe rack. "Aaa nice and toasted just like I like it."

I looked out of the window at the blizzard the weatherman had promised. If anything, it was stronger. I was lucky enough to make home right before it hit. I watched my driveway disappear dreading the sure knowledge that I'd only have to dig it out again in the morning.

When the power winked out, I raised my eyes to the heavens with a sigh and went for the flashlight, feeling my way to the cupboard in the dim light the fireplace was providing. The wood-fire, blazing cheerily in the ample fireplace, sent its warmth and light far out into the room, flashing red reflections in the curiously twisted bars of the brass bedstead.

There was knock on the door "Hello, is anyone home?"

"Coming." I wonder who that could be. I opened the door to be met with seven angelic men standing before me "Um yes, how may I help you?"

"Hello ma'am..."
