“Top hat?” 

“Check.”

“Buttons?”

“Check.”

“Scarf? Carrots?”

“Checkity. Check.” 

“Okay! Aside from twigs, we have everything!” 

“Alright, let’s go build a snowman!” Jaemin exclaims as he pushes passed you and out the workshop doors into the snow. He sets the items down on the ground then turns to you. 

“You start working on the middle. I got the bottom,” Jaemin smiles as he leans down to begin packing snow into a huge ball. 

Starting a little ways away from him, you begin rolling snow for the middle part of the snowman. Soon enough you have a decent-sized ball and turn to check on Jaemin’s progress. 

“Jaemin! Seriously??” 

Instead of an elf behind you, you find a snowball practically twice your height. It’s so big that you can only see the top of Jaemin’s head, his hat and a few strands of hair, peeking out from behind the massive moving object. He moves to the side so he can see you. 

“What? Isn’t it great!? We are going to make the biggest and best snowman ever in workshop history!” 

You sigh with a smile; you just can’t say no to his enthusiasm. 

“Okay well, at least help me put this middle piece on it.” 

Jaemin rolls his giant snowball over to the spot you had both agreed was the best place to display your masterpiece. Once he is done he grabs one side of your snowball, which at this point is only slightly smaller than his, and you grab the other. 

“On three. One. Two. Three!” Jaemin grunts. 

Together you heave the cold lump on top of the other, moving and twisting it so it balances perfectly on the bottom one. 

“There! Hey, it already looks better than one of your cars!” you jab at the elf. Jaemin chucks a snowball at you as a counterattack.

“Okay, okay! Now the head!” Jaemin stills the roughhousing. The two of you decide to work together to roll the head piece as it would take less time and effort. 

Once the head is ready, Jaemin reaches to place it on the top of the snowman while you head toward the nearby tree to look for arm-like branches. Finding the perfect two lying on the snow-covered ground, you snatch them up and run back over to Jaemin and your unnamed snowman. 

“Great, you found his arms!” Jaemin takes one and sticks it into the side of the snowman while you do the same on the other side. “Time to make him look beautiful!” 

“Uh, Jaem? How are we going to put the eyes and stuff on when you could barely reach high enough to put the head on?” You question him. Clearly, neither of you had thought this through. 

Jaemin looks up at the top of the snowman while he thinks before softly gasping in realization. He crouches on the ground in front of you, you stare at the back of his head in confusion. 

“Climb on my shoulders, silly!” He turns his head to laugh at you. 

“Are you sure?” You ask. 

“Yes now hop on before I ditch you and go get Johnny to help me,” he jokes rather dramatically. 

“Okay okay! But don’t you drop me!” you laugh. Before attempting to climb on, you gather your decoration items and place them in the hat.

You gently place your free hand on Jaemin’s head before swinging your leg over one shoulder. He quickly grabs it to steady you. You swing the other leg over and he slowly stands, careful not to fall over. 

“Alright little stylist, work your magic!” Jaemin laughs from below you. 

You playfully roll your eyes although he can’t see you. You begin with the eyes: small blue buttons that Jaemin had sneakily stolen off of Jungwoo’s work table. Black buttons of the same size are used to give the snowman a warm smile contrary to the rest of his body’s temperature. Next are the buttons that run down the middle of the snowman; those were black and much bigger than the eye buttons. The red scarf is carefully wrapped around its neck and a carrot nose placed right in the center of his friendly face. 

“Finishing touch,” you mention down to Jaemin. 

Finally, you place the large black top hat that Mrs. Clause had graciously provided on top of the snowman’s head, making sure it is secure. 

“Yay! All done!” you exclaim.

“Good! I’m going to put you down now.” 

Jaemin begins to lower himself closer to the ground and move away from the snowman at the same time; however, he wasn’t quite as graceful as he had hoped. Before you can react, you are tumbling down into a large snow pile, Jaemin right beside you. The snow cushions your fall, but it doesn’t protect Jaemin from your wrath.  

“Na Jaemin I told you not to drop me!!” 

You tackle him and he fights back, the two of you rolling back and forth in the snow in a playful fight, giggling. Jaemin eventually pins your arms down into the snow, preventing you from administering any more attacks. Your faces are close and Jaemin stares down at you and smiles. His smile widens before he leans down and places a small kiss on the tip of your nose; it scrunches in reaction which makes him giggle. He stands up, reaching out his hand to help you. Once you are both free from the snow pile, he straightens your coat and fixes the hat that has gone crooked on your head. He takes your hand and begins walking back toward the workshop. 

“Come on, let’s get inside to tell the others about our snowman and warm up that cold little nose of yours.”
