Work Text:
Getting off the car, Yoongi heaved a sigh before turning to examine his surroundings. The afternoon sun was bright, providing a feeling of sungness in the harsh month of December. The air was refreshing and crisp giving off the perfect wintry vibe and there was knee-deep snow on both sides of a small pathway leading to the prettiest winter cabin.
Money did not come easy to Min Yoongi. A few years back he would not even dream of taking a whole month off for a vacation in another country, in the middle of the woods and with a big cabin to enjoy his time with his family. But the hard work did pay off. Now he is one of the biggest music producers in South Korea, slowly making his name in western countries too. He's got the fame, the looks, the riches, and a beautiful girl to share it all with.
The same beautiful girl who got impatient waiting in the car and exited it, running in the complete opposite direction of the cabin towards the white blanket of snow.
“Seol, darling, come back here.” Yoongi shouted behind his baby girl, shaking his head fondly.
“But Appa,” the little girl, clad in full white almost blending with the snow in the background if not for her scrunched up face with a cute pout, huffed facing her dad, “we have to make a snowman and then have snowball fights and and snow angels, appa don't forget about the snow angels.”
Yoongi chuckled faintly before moving to pick his daughter up, “And we will do all that baby, but first, you need to change, freshen up and then eat something.” He pressed a kiss on Seol's chubby cheeks which had turned bright pink due to the cold.
“Oh! Oh! Appa can we eat gingerbread cookies and hot chocolate, please appa.” Seol wiggled around in her dad's arms as they entered their home for the next few days.
❆❆❆
They obviously did not eat any cookies, Yoongi convinced Seol that they can bake those together at night and enjoy it tomorrow morning for breakfast. He really did not want to handle a kid with a sugar rush after a long tiring day of traveling.
Although Seol was always a nice and understanding child, at the end of the day she's still a child. And there are a few things she would be stubborn about. Like how right now Yoongi is bundling his daughter and himself up in scarves and gloves before they head out to make some snow angels.
He tried to make her understand about resting for the day and playing in the snow tomorrow and Seol did agree except for the snow angels part. Ever since her halmeoni - Yoongi’s mom gifted her a book on Snow Angels on her 4th birthday, Seol has been obsessed with them.
All Yoongi knew about snow angels was that you form the shape of an angel in snow by moving your arms up and down, and legs from side to side. But apparently, according to the book which Seol makes him read to her almost every night, Snow Angels are actually guardian angels who guide and protect you secretly?? Yeah, he gives up.
So now, everytime Seol sees snow, she would bolt out the door to make several snow angels and hope and pray that she can see and meet her angel (since it appears that the main character in the book also met her angel).
Darkness was taking over the sky and the air had turned chilly by the time they came out to fulfill Seol's wish.
“Appa, let's make the snow angels quickly so we can meet them tomorrow.” Seol squealed as she flopped down on the ground already working up on her snow angel.
“Appa doesn't need to make one darling, you can make one for yourself and play in the snow while appa takes pretty pictures of you to send to halmeoni.” Yoongi said already positioning his camera to take multiple pictures of the view around them and then of his daughter.
The glare he received from her was enough for him to set his camera aside and drop down next to her getting on with his snow angel. The adorable sound of giggles and babbles from his own angel calmed his mind and he relaxed on the sheet of snow.
After making sure her angel was formed perfectly, Seol sat up, tightly joining her little hands together and squeezing her eyes shut before praying loudly, “Dear Snow Angel, I made the prettiest design for you, Appa also made one in a bigger size, so I hope you will come meet me soon and always protect me. Thank you.”
Yoongi just watched her with an endeared smile on his face but also a hint of guilt in his heart knowing that his innocent daughter's wish might never be fulfilled. But kids grow out of it right?
It was almost 8 p.m. when they went back. After having a quick dinner, the duo started with the cookies because “Appa, what if the Snow Angel comes early tomorrow and we won't have anything to feed him!”
The night ended with them sneaking one cookie each, a story time with Seol's favorite Snow Angel book, lots of cuddles and kisses and the anticipation of how exciting tomorrow will be.

Park Jimin was done. He was done being a model. The next flight to South Korea and he will be storming into his agency, tearing his contract up and throwing it in his boss’s face. He was seriously done.
Jimin was here, in another country, in the middle of woods for a Winter Magazine photoshoot with a team of models, photographers, stylists, makeup artists and other staff. A pretty shitty staff provided by his company because he is lost for an hour now and not one person has tried to contact him or search for him.
He was at least glad that the shoot was scheduled in the morning because if he were to get lost in the middle of night in this deserted place, he would have not survived.
Basking in the sunlight, Jimin took a deep breath. It was a breath of relief he finally took after years of gasping for air. He was a rising supermodel and with being busy doing shoots and attending events almost everyday he barely had time for himself. He's kinda glad he got lost and is away from people.
The model was wandering around aimlessly when he spotted a winter cabin hidden among the tall trees. He might have gone past it presuming it was abandoned if not for the smoke coming out of the chimney stack.
Ignoring all the warning signals in his head about stranger danger, he made his way to the cabin. He was tired and hungry and the last thing he wanted on his mind was not the thought of getting killed in the middle of nowhere.
Jimin knocked on the door hoping for a kind family who's here to spend their holidays and not some crazy serial killer who is obsessed with pretty things and likes to collect them.
There was some shuffling on the other side as he swayed slightly, tapping his foot to ward off the nerves. The door opened and Jimin froze cause in front of him stood the most attractive man he's ever seen (and god, Jimin would not mind if this person was a serial killer).
“Mr. Snow Angel, you came.” A loud chirpy voice full of excitement pulled him out of the trance and he looked down to see the cute, mini version of the man. And of course he was a daddy!
“Uhh.. What?” Way to go Park Jimin.
❆❆❆
Jimin was very confused, sitting at the kitchen counter of this beautiful home with a large plate of gingerbread cookies and hot chocolate in front of him. The little girl who introduced herself as “Min Seol, 5 years old” was looking at him with big eyes full of hope and a wide gummy smile on her face. Jimin felt his heart constrict at that look.
And her dad, the beautiful man with sharp eyes and the same gummy smile as his daughter, was eyeing him with an awed look, confusing the hell out of him again.
“Appa, see I told you we need to make the cookies because Snow Angel was coming today.” Seol exclaimed at her father but her eyes were still stuck on Jimin.
Being a model, Jimin was used to people staring at him but right at this moment he could not handle it and lowered his gaze, feeling shy. He turned to peek at Yoongi from under his lashes, finding the latter's gaze already on him. His heart constricted again.
Seriously, this Min family isn't good for his heart.
“Mr. Snow Angel you are so pretty. I'm so glad my snow angel is so pretty. How old are you? Do you have a name? Where do you live? Will you stay with us from now on?” Jimin could not keep up with Seol's questions and looked at Yoongi for help.
Yoongi huffed before picking up his daughter who was almost on the counter inching closer to Jimin and placed her on his lap, “Calm down, darling. Don't scare away the angel now.” He smirked looking at the angel's flustered face.
“But he is so pretty appa, isn't he?” She turned her head up to face her dad.
Yoongi hummed in agreement while checking out the man in front of him, “Seol, why don't you go clean up your room so you can show it to your snow angel after he is done with his breakfast?”
With a loud cheer, the youngin bolted to her room.
Jimin cleared his throat slightly, “Umm, so what is this all about?”
❆❆❆
After Yoongi explained everything about Seol's wishes and beliefs to Jimin, the latter let out a sweet giggle, hiding his face behind his hands, “Yoongi-ssi your daughter is so cute oh my god. And I feel so flattered she thought I was her Snow Angel. I swear she's the angel between us.”
‘You are the one who is cute.’ Yoongi thought watching the model laugh care freely contrary to how shy he was before.
Finding the younger’s laugh contagious, Yoongi let out a chuckle of his own, “To be honest, I was shocked too when I saw you. It really felt as if an angel was on our doorstep. You had this bright light surrounding, your face was bare with a hint of blush giving off that pure look. If you hadn't voiced your confusion even I would have believed you were the Snow Angel my Seol wished for.”
Jimin was dumbfounded after listening to Yoongi's words. He watched the elder with wide eyes, mouth open in wonder. “You… what,, what are you even saying?” Jimin screeched, his face turning red like a tomato.
“Sorry if that made you uncomfortable but you are really beautiful.” Yoongi continued, a hand massaging his nape to shake off the awkwardness.
“I.. I am not uncomfortable, thank you for the compliment. You are very hot too.” Jimin spluttered, slapping his hands over his mouth after realizing what he just uttered.
A loud laugh escaped Yoongi as he eyed Jimin, “Glad to hear that we are on the same page.”
The model could do nothing but fan his face to cool himself down. “Anyway! What are we going to do about Seol? You do know that we have to tell her I'm actually a human and not an angel and that I can't be with her forever.”
“I doubt about that last part,” Yoongi winked at Jimin who just scoffed before hitting his chest lightly, “but how about we tell her that tomorrow? My baby girl is smart. I'm pretty sure she already knows but let's indulge her today, hmm?”
Jimin agreed as Seol’s loud voice cut through the cabin to call over the adults to her room.
❆❆❆
The entire day Jimin played together with Seol while Yoongi was hovering around them taking as many pictures as he could.
He humored all the questions she asked, even the strangest one like, “Mr. Snow Angel, is Elsa your girlfriend?” Like what? how? why?
And Yoongi was on the side laughing at Jimin’s misery which earned the former a pouty glare from both Jimin and his daughter. Which made him think that he really wouldn't mind seeing this view for the rest of his life. Kind of crazy how quickly the model has made his way into his heart.
The trio went from playing outdoors in the snow to playing board games inside near the fireplace. They prepped for the dinner and for the dessert after dinner.
While all this time there was no word for Jimin’s team, or there might have been but Jimin was too engrossed here to pay attention to anything else.
The day ended with all them sharing a bed together. The adults on the side and Seol in between because she wants to sleep together with her appa and her Snow Angel.
“Mr. Snow Angel, thank you for coming today. I am so happy I met you. I love you.” Seol spoke sluggishly as sleep took over her.
“Thank you for calling me darling. You made me happy too.” Jimin pressed a kiss against Seol's forehead, and looked over at Yoongi who was watching the scene in front of him with loving eyes.
They just shared a smile without exchanging any words, both hoping for this day not to end.
❆❆❆
The next morning, it was time for Jimin to leave. His team had contacted him and said they'll send someone to pick him up before heading back to Korea.
This earned resistance from Seol, Yoongi and even Jimin himself. He really did not want to go back. It had been just one day that he spent with this lovely family but he was already dreading leaving them. Just what magic did this father-daughter duo put on him.
Before leaving he made sure that Yoongi told Seol the truth about his identity to which Seol just shrugged and said she already knew. She really was a smart girl.
“But I will see you again right? We will meet again in my home in Korea right Jiminie?” Seol asked with tears in her eyes.
Jimin felt tears pricking his eyes too, “Of course love, also why are you calling me Jiminie? Aren't I your Snow Angel?”
“What? Really? You will be my Snow Angel.” Seol jumped into his arms at that.
“Always darling, I'll always protect you and be with you.” Jimin kissed her cheeks and looked up at Yoongi who mouthed a ‘thank you’.
“No!” Seol exclaimed suddenly. A look of confusion appeared on both Jimin and Yoongi's face.
“No? You don't want me to be your Snow Angel?” Jimin tried to give her his puppy eyes, earning him a snicker from the music producer.
“No Jiminie, not just mine." She reached for her father's hands.
"Will you be our Snow Angel?”
