“Brrr~ It sure is getting chilly out” I state, mostly to myself, as my numb fingers struggle to zip up my black coat, “gosh dang it, curse you fingers!”

After about five minutes, I managed to secure myself, and practically melt, within the warmth of the coat.

“Y/N! You okay there?” a voice snaps me out of my trance. I open my eyes to see my neighbor,and classmate, Beomgyu, walking over to me.

“Yeah, I’m good. It’s just really cold out and I’d rather stay inside. But, I had to go pick up a few things from the store for my mother” I reply as I hold up a plastic bag filled with items.

“Oo! Did you get any chestnuts?”

“No, why?”

“You know the song, ‘Chestnuts roasting on an open fire~’, right?” he questions, “We should totally do that!”

I ponder for a second before breaking out into a grin, “That sounds like a fun idea! Here, hold this while I go buy some chestnuts.”

I shove the bag into his hand and run back into the store. I skim through each isle before finding what I needed. I grab the bag, paid at checkout, and went back outside.

Beomgyu was leaning against the windows upon my return. He notices me and stands up. I wave the bag in his face with a grin.

“First things first, I have to give my mom her items, then we can roast the chestnuts. I’m so glad we have a fire pit in the backyard” I explain.

After some minor chitchat on the way to my house, and dropping off the items, we head to my backyard. I ask if I could grab the proper utensils and pans from inside. My mother agrees and hands me them.

Beomgyu throws firewood into the fire pit as I throw in some newspapers. Lighting one newspaper on fire with a match, I quickly toss it into the pit. Once the fire was all set, I place everything we needed to make roasted chestnuts out on the ground.

“I’ll be honest, I’ve never really done this before” I shyly rub my hands together.

“No need to worry, I’ll help you,” Beomgyu smiles and reaches for the bag of chestnuts, “We need to score X’s onto the chestnuts, okay?”

I nod and we began to work. A minute later, there was one chestnut left and I go to grab it. But I guess Beomgyu reached as well because both of our hands touched.

“Oh, sorry!” I stumble out, “You can have it.”

“No no,” he shakes his head and grabs the chestnut, placing it into my hand, “you can do the last one.”

“Oh.. okay.” I score the nut and set it into the pan with the rest of them.

“Good! Now we just have to place them over the fire” Beomgyu smiles. I pick up the pan and lay it on top of the fire. I jump slightly at the heat, almost dropping it all.

“Ah, here, let me do it instead” a hand replaces my hand that was holding the pan. I look up to see him staring at the chestnuts.

“Y/N, look! The chestnuts are peeling!” I snap out of it and glance down. The chestnuts were, in fact, peeling.

“Wha-!” my mouth gapes open. I hear him chuckle at my expression as he shakes the pan.

It only took roughly half and hour that Beomgyu deemed the chestnuts ready. He removes the pan and places it onto an oven mitt.

“Now we just have to wait until they cool down first then-“

“Hot!” I shriek and retract my hand. I place my finger in my mouth, trying to relieve the pain.

“Jesus Y/N,” Beomgyu sighs, “Here, let me see it.”

I show him my finger, “I’m such an idiot.”

“Oh hush, it’s just a tiny burn, nothing big. But I’ll agree with you that you are an idiot.”

“Hey!” I remark, pulling my hand away, “whatever.” Beomgyu just laughs at me and I couldn’t help but chuckle afterwards.

“Thanks by the way” he catches his breath, still slightly laughing.

“Nah, thank you,” I turn it around, “this was a fun idea.”
