snowflake_challenge 2026, challenge 3- write a love letter to fandom.

a love letter to k-pop and the k-pop rpf community

I don't think I'd be the person I am today if I hadn't found k-pop. I remember watching a Teens React episode at my uncle's old house back in 2018 where they reacted to BLACKPINK's music. I used to be really into react content back in the day and would watch anything. When I watched the video, I thought the group's music sounded interesting and added them to my playlist along with some other recommended songs I thought sounded good. I appreciated the music but didn't really think about the people behind it.

It wasn't until a random day in 2021 when I watching sapphic ship edits, that I stumbled across videos about kpop girl group "gay" moments and others shipping two group members together. I knew the concept of shipping idols, even saw a copious amount Jennie/Lisa fanfiction on Wattpad when I was first getting into BLACKPINK, but at that time, I still felt weird about RPF and slightly uncomfortable with how much smut I saw, so I didn't engage with it. However, these video introduced me to groups like Red Velvet, Mamamoo, and TWICE and I learned about the members through their questionable, for a lack of a better word, interactions with each other.

From then on, I started following more groups and appreciating the faces behind the voices, finding out just how lovable so many of them are. I fell in love with what I saw. The close interactions, the laughs, the drama, the vulnerability, the trust, all of it. I also learned to embrace RPF for what it is and see the fun in it. I started writing and engaging with the community of k-pop writers and readers. I wrote my longest fic to date, and overall started feeling more confident in my abilities.

Many people still demonize RPF, and I get it. I used to the in the same boat. Now, I just look past posts like that, because I know I can't do anything to change people's minds about it when they're made up. Instead, I make company with the people who do understand it, who engage with it.

I'm grateful for my corner of the k-pop fan community. I'm glad we're all able to participate in good faith jokes and shipping, while also being able to separate fiction from reality. A giant thank you to all the great groups for creating concepts and music that we fans can bond over as well. It's a gift that I'm thankful is being shared with us.

I'm so glad to be a part of this fandom! Thank you for being so welcoming.

I'm participating with a habit pledge in Get Your Words Out 2026. My goal is to write something for 120 days out of the year. Join me if you wish!

It's always hard for me to judge my podficcing efforts, so looking back on what I've done this year is interesting. For some basic stats, I posted 32 audioworks to AO3 in 2025, and my podfic spreadsheet says I made 17.5 hours of audio. Of those 32 works, 13 were of my own fics & 4 were collaborations of some sort. Most of the pods for fics by other people were done for either Voiceteam or Voiceteam Mystery Box (the two podfic-centric events I participated in last year), which I knew but it's sort of startling to look back ad see.

The majority of my podficcing efforts that weren't either my fics or VT/VTMB focused on long pods! I actually at first forgot that I finished my first long pod, I Thought You Were Blind, in June. But I'm super proud of what I did! 9.5 hours longs, and I kept up a weekly posting schedule for almost a year to get it complete. (Archive.org going down sometimes prevented me from updating.) I feel like I really managed to find a rhythm with my workflow with this pod—because I knew what I was doing next and also had a reason to record regularly, I think it really helped me to find how I like to do things.

It was in the spring while working on this pod that I switched to a true punch-and-roll style for recording, and oh man I love it. I don't think my current work flow would have worked for me before, I needed to go through growth in getting more comfortable speaking before I could get confident with doing a take and moving on. But I am so, so glad I finally looked into how to do punch-and-roll in GarageBand because it makes podding so much more enjoyable for me. I just get the fun of reading and don't have to agonize over which take anymore!

Doing ITYWB also taught me that I enjoying doing long pods. The uploading process is soooo much simpler when I'm just updating in a couple places and not having to start new to make new posts constantly. Which explains why the majority of my other-people's-fics pods are for events, because I spent the year working on 3 pods I considered long pods: ITYWB (9.5 hours), Epistaxis Anime (3.5 hours), and The Place You Call Home (1.25 hours). And I've got my next 3 long pods chosen, and I'm looking forward to getting into them. ^^

I don't entirely know where I'm going with this. I learned a lot about how I like to make podfics and about my own style this past year. I sort of feel like I haven't done a lot, when I look at posting different works, but then I look at my long pods and I'm really happy about what I've done. I'm hoping in 2026 to continue my momentum and not being afraid to try new things if I think they look fun. It might be nice to do some more random, shorter pods, but I can't say whether or not that will happen. I want to try to pod according to my whims, with whatever looks fun to do in the moment!

semperfiona

In 2025, i continued to be obsessed with the Untamed/Mo Dao Zushi, but also got to be in on the ground level on two new mushrooming fandoms, Kpop Demon Hunters and Heated Rivalry. Unlike my usual modus operandi, I actually watched the canon media within a few days of its release (rather than years later lol). Still haven’t made content for either of them, though there will be a few Heated Rivalry multivoice pods at the end of Voiceteam Mystery Box 2025; I’m not sure what I’ll make for KPDH but i definitely want to do something. I should look around for a pofficcer-heavy KPDH discord; I joined an HR one almost at its creation.

2025 was a bit lower output for me than the previous couple of years, but I still count over 50 hours of finished podfic. Most of that is MDZS/The Untamed, with a smattering of Word of Honor and KinnPorsche, and a sprinkling of single pods of other fandoms.

I am discovering, as I try to assemble more precise stats, that I didn’t fill in the details for a lot of 2025’s podfics, so I can’t really say what percentage of MDZS to other fandoms, or Explicit/Mature to Gen/Teen, I did. Also there are a whole bunch I recorded in a frenzy for Voiceteam Tiebreaker that never even got entered into the spreadsheet, let alone edited or posted anywhere, so these stats are pretty bogus really.

No writing or art published in 2025.

Voiceteam Tiebreaker was a first for me this last time; I’ve never been on a team that tried to win from the beginning, and 2025 was no different, except that we all turned out to have no chill anyway, and ended up in a four-way tie for all-possible-team-points scored, which qualified us for the tiebreaker, a 24-hour frantic frenzy of recording as much as possible. So many shortcuts taken - the ‘save as multiple files’ option in audacity (which I also learned this year) was such a lifesaver. It came in super handy for the extended version Gusu Dating Sim that I participated in (starred in, really: I’m the main character :D ) as well. Wish I had known about that option when I recorded the first version!

I did one other new scary fannish thing in 2025, which was to cold-read a longfic and publish a new chapter every day: show me how to lay my sword down. It was received pretty well so I hope to do another one in 2026.

But my biggest goal for 2026 is to pod a 300K fic I asked and received permission for in mid-December. I’m planning on biweekly updates, which would get the whole thing done within the year. At my usual production rates that accounts for about 60-75% of total production though, and I want to do other stuff too, so realistically I may not finish in 2026.

I plan to participate in my usual set of events: Fandom Trumps Hate, Out of the Auditory (can i ~finally~ get “Did the YLLZ really exist?” multivoice completed and posted?), Voiceteam, Pod-O-Ween, etc. I missed signups for Holly Poly 2025, hope to remember and do it in 2026 again.

Dear Author and/or Podficcer,

Hi! Call me Eafay.
(Think "Leaf" without the "L," then "day" without the "d." First syllable is stressed.)
IPA (mooched from Wiktionary's entries for the above-mentioned words and "deejay"): /ˈifːeɪ/
Pronouns: she/her/hers

This is my fifth time participating! I hope this letter helps you in your creating.

Fandom-Specific Things

Note: I'm totally open to gen for all of these fandoms!

Men's Hockey RPF

no Blackhawks as the focus of the story (mentioning the team as an opponent is okay) (in terms of players on the team: stories about them before they were Blackhawks are okay)

no P. Kane, E. Kane, C. DeSmith, S. Varlamov, D. Doughty, B. Leipsic, M. Domi (if there are names often included in that list that I've forgotten, err on the side of avoidance)

In the unfortunately likely event that a player is accused of something similar to the players listed above, use your discretion. (This includes, but isn't limited to, sexual assault/harassment, domestic violence, and use of offensive slurs. I'm sorry if this is vague, but I trust your judgment!)

Avoid the term "McJesus" for Connor McDavid (if you deem the fic otherwise perfect for me, please make a note of the term's presence in your notes so I'm warned) (YES, THIS IS A BIG ENOUGH 😠 TO WARRANT THAT)

Please keep Tyson Barrie and Alexander Kerfoot as Avs, and please keep Nazem Kadri as a Leaf.

Um...I can't think of any NOTPs in this fandom

I'm currently most familiar with the Pens, Avs, and Devils, but I don't mind an excuse to learn about other teams! Heck, if you want to create something not involving the NHL, go for it!!

I can't believe I didn't mention this last year: The Hughes brothers are Jewish and I adore them!!!!!!!!

Women's Hockey RPF

I'm not very familiar with women's hockey, but if you want to create something that matches my likes/dislikes in terms of tropes (see general list below), then by all means go for it!

Ships: Apps/Duggan and Chu/Ouellette are the ones I don't want shipped with anyone else. Other than that, I'm not picky!

Men's Football RPF

no CR7 despite me having written him in the past (this includes mentions)

Um...I can't think of any NOTPs in this fandom

That being said, I haven't done a lot in this fandom in a long time. So I'm not even sure whom I ship these days??

I know that Tottenham Hotspur (Premier League) and AFC Ajax (Eredivisie) have Jewish identity within their historical fanbases. (I'm not sure that sentence makes much sense, but if you look them up on Wikipedia, you'll know what I mean.) So if you want to do something about one of them, or if you find a similar club and want to share the knowledge, go for it!

I'm most familiar with the Premier League, Bundesliga, MLS, and La Liga, but I don't mind an excuse to learn about somewhere else!

Tennis RPF

ships: Federer/Nadal, Kyrgios/Tsitsipas, Melo/A. Zverev, Alcaraz/Sinner, Auger-Aliassime/Shapovalov, Schwartzman/Thiem

Related to the last two ships mentioned: I know Diego Schwartzman is Jewish, so something about that would be cool! Denis Shapovalov has a Jewish mother and Christian father; he wears a cross when he plays and says he's Christian, but his mother says he's Jewish. (Article: https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/israel-born-wimbledon-star-jew-ish-1.518439) I don't know if that makes him Jewish enough for this event, but please join me in being shocked at the chutzpah of going against one's Jewish mother!

other players I like but don't have a specific ship for: del Potro, Murray, M. Zverev, Gauff, Sakkari, Tomljanovic, S. Williams, V. Williams

I don't mind an excuse to learn about someone new, especially someone Jewish! (This goes for men and women, active or retired!)

Star Trek: TOS, TNG, DS9

TOS: Kirk/McCoy/Spock or any duo therein, Chekov/Sulu, any friendship involving those characters, Uhura, and/or Chapel

TNG: Beverly/Picard, Riker/Deanna, Data/Tasha Yar, Data/LaForge, any friendship involving those characters, Wes, and/or Worf, PLEASE NO Q!

DS9: Kira/Odo, Jadzia Dax/Worf, Keiko/Miles, Nog/Jake, any friendship involving those characters, Benjamin Sisko, and/or Quark, PLEASE NO Q!

Schitt's Creek

I hate to admit it, but I haven't actually seen this show and am unlikely to do so in the near future. I'm aware of the general plot and character arcs.

DNW: poly ships, Ted ships other than Ted/Alexis

Ships I don't want to see split up: Patrick/David, Johnny/Moira

In approximate order of preference from fave to least fave, my Alexis ships are: Ted/Alexis, Alexis/Twyla, Alexis/Rachel

Ted Lasso

I hate to admit it, but I haven't actually seen this show and am unlikely to do so in the near future. I'm aware of the general plot and character arcs.

DNW: Rebecca in a romantic relationship with a player, Dr. Jacob in any capacity

Ships I like: Roy/Keeley/Jamie, Ted/Beard

Characters I like but don't have a ship for: Rebecca, Trent, Nate, Dr. Sharon

I know quite a bit about the EPL, so if you want to find something that highlights that, go for it! But if you don't, that's okay, too!

Check Please!

I read Years 1-3 in one sitting shortly before Year 4 began its release, at which point I read as it was posted. I never looked at the in-character tweets.

Ships I like: Bitty/Jack, Tater/Kent, (Chowder/)Nursey/Dex, Holster/Ransom, Lardo/Shitty

DNWs: mentions of Jack's overdose

I know some stuff about the NHL, but pretty much nothing about collegiate hockey. So feel free to teach me things!

Rabbinic and Talmudic Judaism RPF, Jewish Scripture & Legend, Tanakh, Midrash, Talmud

I'm Jewish and know some stuff about all this, but not a lot.

However, I have enjoyed reading past Purimgifts fics in these fandoms!

DNW: interfaith relationships unless canon (ex. Moses/Tzipporah is okay, random Canaan woman/either of them isn't)

I realize this probably isn't very helpful information - sorry! If you have a specific question, I can probably answer (admittedly with a little googling in many cases). I don't know if this info is helpful, but I'm Ashkenazi and Conservative.

Things Not Specific to a Fandom

Likes:

happy or at least hopeful ending - this is a MUST, though feel free to pile on the angst beforehand!

most AUs (including but not limited to coffeeshop, university, non-famous, different sport)

omegaverse dynamics

mpreg (either omegaverse or not)

dom/sub dynamics

family/friendship feels (including pets!)

soulmates (including but not limited to marks, bonds)

magical realism/urban fantasy (including but not limited to de-aging, witchcraft, talking to animals)

use of foreign language (esp. if one character is fluent but the other isn't)

DNWs:

bashing (of teams, of characters, of canon love interests, etc.)

rape/dubcon

violence

watersports/scat/vore

BDSM clubs

blood

death/serious injury

infidelity

incest

childbirth scenes (fade to black is okay)

mentions of coronavirus, pandemic, lockdown, etc. (for sports fandoms: this includes no bubbles or return to play)

racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, and the like

depression, anxiety, OCD, suicidal ideation/thoughts, and the like (your discretion, but please err on the side of 'no')

power imbalance (ex. if the main ship is player/coach or student/teacher)

hospitals

Podfic-Specific Things

I tend to read the original fic while listening to the podfic. I'm not sure if knowing that helps you in any way, but I figured I'd mention it.
On a possibly related note: If you want to include freetalk and/or outtakes, go for it, but don't feel obligated! (Considering that I never include outtakes, it would be rather hypocritical of me to insist that you include them.)

Things I like, but don't want you to feel forced into doing:

Music (I have no problem with words and music overlapping so long as the words are understandable)

Sound effects (especially the DIY kind I do a lot of in my own podfics)

Character voices and/or accents

A distinct tone for the narrator

Singing (enthusiasm is more important to me than perceived quality in this regard)

DNWs:

Sex sounds (panting/heavy breathing is okay in other contexts)

Gagging, vomiting, and similar sounds (a few spits in a row are fine)

Gunshots/loud bangs

"Sudden noise" sound effects similar to the above-listed

Anything that might make me thing something's gone wrong with my computer/phone while I'm listening (ex. buzzing noises, beeping noises)

I think that's everything! If I come up with anything else, I'll edit it in.

Thank you very much in advance!! Let me know if you have any questions! Chag Purim Sameach!

❤️,

prompt: something left behind

3/8/2025
Fandom: XO, Kitty
Character: Yuri Han

Yuri Han left her old life behind. After disowning her father and his blood money, she had to rebuild from scratch, getting a job at a clothing store. Woo Designs was home to up-and-coming fashion designer Ji-Young Woo. She was a forgiving boss, but her assistant, Philippa Ashmond, was anything but. Philippa analyzed every stitch, every pattern, every color, every item refresh to make sure it was perfect. Yuri found these contrasting styles to make for a lively environment. It made her want to do better. She thought of the cardigan Min Ho bought Kitty. She could make one better.

prompt: shadow

7/5/2025
Fandom: LE SSERAFIM
Ship: Kazuha/Yunjin (implied)

The low light of the club cast a shadow on the floor beneath Kazuha’s feet. Her neck itched under the collar she was wearing, but it didn't bother her as much as the overwhelming mix of scents, from artificial bubblegum to woody musk.

Two men approached her. They looked slightly older. Alphas, too, she could tell.

“An owned alpha. You don’t see that very often,” one of them said.

“Who’s your master?” the other asked.

Kazuha gestured to a woman on stage playing guitar.

“You’re kidding. She always said she would never take a pet.”

“I guess I’m the exception.”

prompt: heartbeat

7/20/2025
Fandom: The Pitt
Ship: Santos & Javadi

It was another day at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, and Victoria still had the events of yesterday looming over her. Of course, the daughter of an attending at the hospital had to go and faint on her first day, and then deal with a mass casualty event hours after.

“Morning, Crash,” Trinity said from behind her, grabbing her shoulders, surprising her.

Victoria put her hand over her heart, feeling it beat in her chest. She wasn't expecting that.

“Did I surprise you?” Trinity asked. "I thought after yesterday that was impossible."

“My name is Victoria,” she said.

“Okay, Victoria.”

9/28/2025
Fandom: Thai GL RPF
Ship: Fay/May

A lively party was happening at Fay’s Bangkok apartment after the wrap of Somewhere Somehow. Nam was taking shots like she didn't have a shooting tomorrow, Heng was blasting music from a Bluetooth speaker he brought, and Frung was trying to see how many cracker and cheese sandwiches she could fit in her mouth at once.

Fay caught May’s eye on the couch. “So, what comes next?”

May patted the seat next to her. “Whatever you want.”

Fay sat next to May. “Are you enjoying yourself?”

“Now that you’re next to me.”

“Charmer.”

May kissed Fay gently. “Only with you.”

prompt: leave the light on when you go

11/7/2025
Fandom: My Safe Zone
Ship: Alin/Jane

Once again, Jane felt betrayed. Just like the time eight years ago when Alin left without a word. She knew it was irrational to be upset. Alin had never shown any interest in Pie. Pie was just overly eager over Alin. But, she didn't even bother to hear her out.

Maybe it was a bad decision to jump right into this. Alin had just gotten out of her previous relationship with Kate and Jane had always been too jealous and possessive.

“I’ll leave the light on,” Alin called out from the ground floor, leaving.

Jane heard. It was a plea.

ao3

prompt: are you sure about that?

11/25/2025
Fandom: Thai GL RPF
Ship: Lookmhee/Sonya

Lookmhee and Sonya collected GL couples like Thanos collected the infinity stones. Sonya, as the self-proclaimed “mami of GL,” had a reputation to uphold, and well, Lookmhee wasn’t above the act of attracting women either.

But at the end of the day, they knew who the other belonged to. The jealous glances when one got too close to someone else sent shivers down spines. Lookmhee’s tight hold around Sonya's waist said what no words ever could. Sonya’s “Are you sure?” before the first time they kissed without a camera sealed their fate.

No one would come in between their relationship.

ao3

prompt: the credit card was declined

12/6/2025
Fandom: XO, Kitty
Character: Yuri Han

“Miss, this card has been declined,” the cashier said, handing it back to Yuri.

She knew this tactic. Her mom always restricted her access to money when she wanted her attention. Not having the time to deal with it right now, she asked another worker to hold the clothes for her.

Later, she found out it wasn't on purpose. There was development in a lawsuit. Her father's assets were frozen. Now, on top of being alone, she was broke.

Karma had a weird way of coming back to you when you least expected it. Only up from here, she supposed.

prompt: never have I ever

12/20/2025
Original Work (Working Title: The Secret We Held)
Pairing: Ishani/Arya

“Never have I ever kissed someone of the same gender,” Jae, one of Arjun’s friends, poses to the group.

I see Arya lift her cup. In eighth grade, she was the lead in a school play. They couldn’t find a male love interest that fit the role. It was a small peck. I wouldn’t count it. The circle gasps and whoops, anyway.

My mind goes back to Asher Miller’s eighteenth birthday party over the summer. That extravagant walk-in closet. The intoxicating scent of eucalyptus and carnations. Her sweeping a stray hair behind my ear. In that moment, I considered it.

prompt: new year’s eve

12/31/2025
XO, Kitty
Pairing: Kitty/Yuri

Fireworks burst into the sky in a colorful array over Han River. Kitty sits on the grass, her knees hugging her chest, looking up in awe. Last year, she saw them in a park in Portland. These are more beautiful. Maybe it's the way the water reflects their light, or maybe it’s the person sitting next to her.

Call her cliché, but she has always imagined what it would be like to kiss someone at midnight on New Year's. A countdown later, a chorus of “Happy New Year!” erupts. She turns to Yuri, kissing her. It’s everything she had imagined.

Wrote a fill for

ficwip’s A Picture’s Worth 1000 Words event

prompt: a white puppy in a field of snow

12/6/2025
Fandom: LE SSERAFIM
Ship: Kazuha/Yunjin

Looking out her window, Kazuha noticed it started snowing. The first snow of the season. A special time. She wanted to twirl as the flakes fell down around her. The image looked pretty in her head.

There was a story that if you spent the first snow with someone you liked, you would have long-lasting love. She wasn’t sure if she quite believed in superstitions like that, but it was a romantic ideal. Winter was the season of love in Korea—and her hometown of Japan.

Her outfit—a black-and-white striped flannel and gray sweatpants—was the most casual thing she could think of for the occasion. Of course, the first snow fell when she was wearing the most inconspicuous ever. Maybe her black puffer jacket could save it. She stood up, grabbing it from the coat hanger by the door.

Yunjin looked up then. She was sitting on the couch next to Kazuha. She also noticed the snow. She thought maybe Kazuha would invite her outside. The hopeless romantic in her believed in the superstition, but what did she know? It wasn’t like she gave her a bouquet of flowers during last week’s fanmeeting expecting anything.

It was just that Kazuha was an easy person to love. Yunjin sensed her sincerity from the moment they met. Kazuha never did anything halfway. She put her all into everything, especially her performance. But, Yunjin would be lying if she found nothing endearing about the more casual side of her. Her easy-going, laid-back personality, infectious laugh, and samoyed-like softness made her even more likeable.

Putting her jacket on, Kazuha did a spin. “Does this make me seem more put-together?”

“Are you asking me?” Yunjin asked.

“Who else is around, unnie?”

“It’s a cute look.”

“You’re not lying to make me feel better, right?”

“Zuha, you’re pretty in anything you wear.”

“I’m not sure about that.”

“Come on, you rocked an inflatable riding dinosaur costume in Times Square.” Yunjin stretched her arms. “You know what? I should get my sister to send me the ugliest Christmas sweaters we own. But even then, I still think you would look beautiful.”

“I’ve never seen an ugly Christmas sweater, but if you say so.”

“Okay. I’m making you wear one this Christmas.”

“Only if you wear one too.”

“That’s a given.”

“Want to see the snow with me?”

Yunjin nodded. She grabbed a jacket that happened to look similar to the one Kazuha was wearing. Another thing to add to their never-ending thread of matching clothes.

Kazuha mentioned in an interview that if she were to wear another member’s clothes, she thought Yunjin’s style was cool. That video they did where they swapped closets made them realize that there was a lot of overlap there.

Yunjin looked at the t-shirt and jeans she was wearing. She slipped on the jacket. Stylists definitely knew what they were doing when they said adding layers made any outfit better.

They both put on boots, stepping out of the dorm. Kazuha’s were gray; hers were brown. She noticed Kazuha’s fingers twitch at her sides during the elevator ride down. She took Kazuha’s hand with a smile. Kazuha smiled back. They looked at each other. The elevator dinged. They let go, stepping out.

Same group members holding hands wasn’t anything suspicious, but they didn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea. It wouldn’t be the first time someone suspected something between them.

Frigid air hit them as they walked outside. Snowflakes fell. A small layer of snow squished underneath their feet.

“I understand now,” Kazuha said, catching snowflakes in her palms. “Those cheesy romance movies were up to something with this.”

“Yeah…” Yunjin looked at Kazuha as she spun in the snow. “It’s enchanting.”

Kazuha turned. “We should do the Snowman challenge!”

“Where did that come from?”

“This is the perfect vibe!”

The song was romantic. Fit for the winter. On par with The First Snow by EXO in terms of popularity during this time. Although Snowman was happier. The former was like the Last Christmas of Korea. Unavoidable. Overplayed to the point of being hated. Bound to also have a challenge done by Kazuha with it, because she was a lover at heart.

Sia’s voice filtered out of Kazuha’s phone as she set it down to record. Pressing the red button, she stepped back, grabbing Yunjin’s hands, swaying them back and forth. “Dance with me.”

Yunjin chuckled, swaying along to the music with Kazuha. She didn’t know who was supposed to be leading who in this impromptu routine, but that was the fun of it. They twirled each other, pushed each other forwards and backwards with their palms, even spun around a few times separately in front of the camera before Yunjin almost tripped. Kazuha instinctively leaned forward to catch her, but Yunjin caught herself. Kazuha ended the recording there, sliding her phone back in her pocket.

“Ah, sorry,” Yunjin apologized.

“It’s okay. How about we try something slower? Without the camera this time,” Kazuha suggested.

“Aren’t you cold?”

“I am, but it’s worth it. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than with you in this moment.”

Yunjin pulled Kazuha into a tight hug. A kind of hug that warmed you from the inside out. A kind of hug that let you forget you were shivering. A kind of hug you didn’t want to break away from.

Stepping back, Yunjin held her hand out. “Can you lead me?”

Kazuha grabbed Yunjin’s hand, intertwining their fingers as she moved to put a steadying arm around her waist. She stepped forward. Yunjin stepped back, matching the movement. The dance was slow, almost charged as they waltzed closer and closer to each other.

“Do you think we’ll have long-lasting love?” Yunjin asked.

“I don’t know,” Kazuha said truthfully. “All I know is the present. And I love you in the present.”

“I love you too.”

As snow fell around them, cold lips met, warm bodies tangled, and love blossomed. They didn’t need superstitions.
