A Thousand Flowers

A Thousand Flowers
Chaptre 95. The Winter Holiday


Entering the month of December, the sun began to look reluctant to show its light. Prefer to stay hidden behind the clouds. Makes the night feel longer. The trees hibernate without leaves and flowers. Waiting until spring comes.


Frozen water vapor granules like white cotton fall to touch the earth. Changing the originally green and colorful land in line in one color, white. Slap without gap.


Izzah was still curled up under the thick blanket. Wiggling softly as Shin Seo Hyun pulled his body closer together.


“Stay lying! There is no reason to rush to get up. It's Sunday,” whispered Shin Seo Hyun, still with his eyes closed.


“But ... outside it looks like the first snow is starting to fall,” said Izzah, lifting his head over her husband's shoulder.


Shocked, Shin Seo Hyun opened her eyes, then jumped down from the bed and flicked the window curtain.


Looking at the thermometer on the room wall showing a temperature of 0.5 degrees Celsius, Izzah grabbed his thick jacket before standing by Shin Seo Hyun's side.


“Waaah .. beautiful!” hiss Izzah was amazed, watching the snow for the first time.


“You're prettier,” praise Shin Seo Hyun while holding his wife.


Moments and minutes passed, Izzah was still glued to a pampered lean on her husband's chest. Stand behind the window, enjoying the ice crystals that descend more and more.


“Haaatsyin!” Izzah sneezing. His nose is getting reddened by the rubbing of his fingers.


Shin Seo Hyun strengthened her grip on Izzah's body, channeling warmth to fight the cold of the weather. As Izzah's sneezing frequency continued to grow, Shin Seo Hyun immediately picked up his wife. Take her back to the bed and hide her under a warm blanket.


“Your body still needs time to adapt to this cold weather,” said Shin Seo Hyun, waving a light kiss on Izzah's forehead.


“Best! I'll make you some warm tea,” he continued, then move out of the room.


Izzah simply replied to her husband with a nod of his head as he grew more and more coiled like a cat.


A TAP! A TAP! A TAP!


In a short time, Shin Seo Hyun's footsteps came closer and closer to the creaking of the open door. Shin Seo Hyun stepped in with a tray containing two cups of honey tea and toast. Put that tray on the table.


As Izzah forced himself to sit while holding back the cold, Shin Seo Hyun greeted him by wrapping a scarf around Izzah's neck and putting on a thick wool hat and earplugs.


“Thank you,” said Izzah, rewarding Shin Seo Hyun with a small kiss on the lips. His body feels comfortable.


Ever since Izzah said the word love and shamelessly expressed his feelings, Shin Seo Hyun's attention increased manifold. Truly indulging Izzah with a touch of affection.


Enjoy breakfast in bed. Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah shared the idea of filling out a winter vacation and devising a million plans.


“How about we take Riris and Park Joon Soo to Pyeongchang Trout Festival? Must've been exciting. Who knew they could get closer,” proposed Izzah spirit.


“I think they're a couple,” said Shin Seo Hyun. Put an empty tea cup on the table. Izzah's eyebrows are uplifted.


“Really? Since when?” tanyanya, feeling the helplessness.


“I don't know for sure either, but three days ago I accidentally caught Park Joon Soo pulling Riris back up the stairs ..” explained Shin Seo Hyun, smiling to imagine the Korean drama-style scene he witnessed.


“Oh My God's. Riris has really changed,” said Izzah half-screaming. Can't believe his friend who used to mouth a bucket and ceplos it could also keep a secret from him.


“You insinuate me?” sergeant Izzah swerved, making Shin Seo Hyun laugh.


“You're more sensitive now. Don't-don't–”


PLUGS!


Shin Seo Hyun's speech was cut off by Izzah's pillow throw.


“Hei! You are also more courageous. Let's check!” take Shin Seo Hyun while pulling Izzah's hand.


“Apaan anyway, Mas. Just a month also ...,” reject Izzah with red cheeks.


He has to admit lately that he is easily offended. His emotions seem very difficult to control. Worse yet, he also did not want to get far from Shin Seo Hyun. Yes, his attitude of one hundred and eighty degrees changed.


“There is no harm if you try?” talk to Shin Seo Hyun


“Just don't want to. Point!” refute Izzah.


She buried her body under the blanket, turning her back to her husband. Just like a child who sulks because he is forced to eat food that he does not like.


Izzah's attitude invited Shin Seo Hyun's amused smile. With a sigh of caving, he also lay hugging his wife's body while peeling at her nape.


“Yes already if you don't want it now. We can do it next time,” whispers gently.


Facing Izzah is like pulling hair in flour. You have to be extra careful and patient. Wrong hair can not, flour spilled. Messy would. His appeal was not panicked, there was Izzah even more distant, but Izzah had just opened his heart to him. Shin Seo Hyun did not want to take the risk. Let time answer everything.

The presence of Samhansaon throughout the winter in Korea feels very profitable. The four-day warm cycle after three days of cold fences causes its own sensation as well as freedom of movement for activities outside the home.


Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah have agreed to fill the weekend with the Pyeongchang Trout Festival in Gangwon-do.


Early in the morning all the needs that will be brought are ready and put in the trunk of the car. Not to forget the food supply of Sandra's famous super delicious and appetizing work.


“Seo Hyun, ready to go? Come!” call Park Joon Soo, yelling to get in the car.


“We're leaving, Bi. Be careful at home!” pamit Izzah, accompanied Shin Seo Hyun's steps. Sandra smiled releasing them at the door.


Remembering a hundred kilometers distance is not a close distance. Both Park Joon Soo and Shin Seo Hyun insisted on carrying their own vehicles. Of course for personal interest. Following the turmoil of young souls who are struggling.


It took longer to arrive in Pyeongchang because the slippery roads were covered in snow. However, when all that fatigue came to pay off with the phenomenon of the human sea in pairs, even huddled to enjoy the excitement of fishing trout through a small hole etched on the ice floor.


Riris with her centile immediately ran to find a spot that was a little quiet followed by Park Joon Soo's casual steps, staring at the funny behavior of Riris in the middle of the crowd.


Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah looked at each other. A second later, they swing their steps, following Riris and Park Joon Soo.


Riris excitedly hollowed out the ice, aided by Park Joon Soo. I didn't care about Izzah and Shin Seo Hyun at all. The world really belongs to both of them.
