‘Cause it’s too cold
For you here and now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
-Sweater Weather by The Neighborhood-

It is hard to see snow in Minnie’s hometown. Since the Winter was about to come, Minnie was looking forward to seeing the white cover the whole city. She kept reminding her girlfriend Miyeon about this. Not even talking about when Minnie was sitting beside Miyeon and showing the photo of the breathtaking view of snow. She begged with her voice full of the cuteness that can melt everyone’s heart, including Miyeon’s.
This was thousands of times, even Miyeon couldn’t remember how many times, that Minnie had yelled about seeing snow. Interestingly, Miyeon already agreed to take a trip with Minnie. However, this younger girlfriend, who is almost only about 10 months younger than her, still begging nonstop.
“Can you calm down?” Miyeon took Minnie’s phone away and just shut it down directly.
“Ah! Cho Miyeon!”
“Your voice is too loud!”
“Oh… I’m sorry…” Minnie finally lowered her voice down. Then, she remembered her phone was still in Miyeon’s hand. “Give it back to me!” she said.
“I already told you that we will go on these weekends!” Miyeon returned the phone and started to pack up her stuff for her work.
“I just afraid that anything could stop us…”
“No, it won’t happen.” Miyeon also tried to calm herself down. Recently, the easiest person to get angry was no longer her role. “Just promise me you will stop repeat about this.”
Minnie nodded her head so excitedly that her girlfriend had to grab her head. She felt Miyeon was leaning toward her face and kissed her.
It was a short moment. Miyeon could feel like she was hugging a big doll. The kiss was soft. It was like kissing a cloud with the sun heating it.
“I’m gonna go to work. Remember to eat your dinner.” Before Miyeon closing the door, she reminded her girlfriend while wearing her coat up.
“Aren’t you coming back?” Minnie once again started to use her innocent eyes when looking at Miyeon.
“I just afraid you will wait too long. I don’t want you to skip dinner.”
“Fine.”
“Fine fine.” Miyeon imitated her girlfriend’s voice and then closing the door. She finally went to work before it was too late. After she left their house, she still spent a little time spacing out her mind.
Miyeon could felt Minnie was unusual. Her girlfriend became more eager to stay with her all the time. No matter where Miyeon goes, Minnie tries to follow. It was like Miyeon would disappear if Minnie could not see her.
Miyeon checked her own behavior on these days, making sure she was not ignoring her girlfriend once. She had the promise to go seeing snow with Minnie and even got off work on time recently. She couldn’t figure why Minnie was like this, so insecure.
Maybe after work, she could buy a delicious green tea flavor cake for Minnie.
Miyeon made the decision and paid attention to her drive to work.

Until the sound of the door locked up by Miyeon’s key, Minnie rushed her way to her room. She turned on her laptop.
She was different from the time with Miyeon. It was anxiety covered on her face, with a bunch of worry in her eyes, and the sigh coming out from her mouth.
The screen of the laptop showed a website that Minnie was reading last night. A website of a graduate school’s introduction. This was not searched by herself. It was her parents, sending it a week ago. Minnie was about to graduate from her university in Korea. It was time to make her plan. However, this was never her plan.
Minnie was well studying during undergraduate. She got many recommendations from her teachers, and she always said no to them.
She was considering Miyeon’s work, or just finding work in Korea, and living her life with Miyeon. Especially, Minnie had left her hometown, Thailand, to Korea for her study, she did not want to leave again.
She was not willing to do it, but she did want to continue her study. It fit her better than choosing an unrelated work. All the works Minnie had found did not connect to her specialization. The worse was, she needed to improve to find a better job.
Of course, Miyeon knew nothing above.
Didn’t know this was how many times Minnie sighed. She almost breathed her soul out, and she still felt like being crushed by a big stone.
Minnie took a deep breath, just to build up her mind with hopefulness. After this, she looked on her laptop again to search for some sightseeing that she wanted to see before.
Spending her time with Miyeon without wasting it. She wrote this down in her mind.
