A low hum leaves his lips, nodding along. He can understand the hassle of having to put up the lights only to take them down after about a month and a half. There were those people that are often too lazy to do it and leave them til next Christmas, but throughout the year - there enough occasions to decorate your house in some fancy holiday themed way; you wouldn’t want to mix Christmas with Easter.

“I enjoy putting them on, usually because I have a lot of people to help me with that and so it’s quite fun most of the time. Until you get tangled in them..” His sentence trails off, sighing at a memory of him tangled with Haechan in the Christmas lights for about an hour, because everyone were too busy laughing and taking pictures of them. “They do look awfully pretty at night, though. It gives off a very.. cozy, in a way, vibe.”

It is not often that she gets to drive around the city since her manager is usually the one doing the driving but on the rare occasions she has a night free and the urge to feel the night air, she gets herself into her car and drives off to any destination she felt like going that night. She finds herself doing that more during Christmas time because of all the lights and the decorations put up throughout the city to celebrate the occasion, making her feel warm and wondering what her family would be doing this Christmas. For her, she knows it will be spent filming her new drama. Nothing festive about that but considering how everyone will be going to a dinner party afterward, that certainly makes up for the lack of Christmas spirit.  

« I’m pretty sure you won’t get an opportunity like this one again anytime soon, » affirmed the Jeju-do, suddenly gifted with the power of clairvoyance. To watch one fail just happened to be one of Miran’s favorite activities. To the condition no serious harm was done. It would be alarming otherwise. ( I ain’t no sadist! ) « You can try, it’s okay if you don’t manage. There’s only you and me here. »

I said, It's too late for me, 'cause I think it's safe to say...This ain't ordinary life.

         ❒ She tilted her head to the side just slightly at the younger male’s remark; remaining in silence for a moment. Life isn’t easy and she knows that firsthand, having been through a slew of dreadful things herself. The only reason she was able to speak those words so unequivocally is because she had hit bottom before, a couple of times, but was always able to pick herself back up. “I have taken that first step,” she said sternly. “It ain’t easy, but pessimism isn’t gonna get you anywhere.” She raked her hair behind her ear before continuing. “You can take that first step; encounter some bumps and roadblocks here and there, or you can stay where you’re at, not growing or progressing.” Taking a deep breath, she ended her point with, “So to answer your question, yes, we do have the world at our feet, you just gotta put in some work.”

⊰ ▫ 🍒 ▫ ⊱ ——   ( agreeing with him one that. ) ❛ Well, no one told you to stay late night in the practice room! ❜ she spoke towards him while placing down her bag in the corner of the room, bending over to pull out food she had made for him. Visiting her friend at SM’s practice room. She saw how he was working on his vocals first.❛ I made some food. I was cooking for my members, but also decided to save & bring you some as well! I know you’re working hard & I see how tired & sleepy you are. ❜ Rosé placed the two bowls of food into his hands while sending a friendly smile his way. Maybe it would wake him up some more & give him energy.
