The Concept Game, Volume #2

"_____!" Your boyfriend, Taehyun, exclaimed while shaking you awake. You let out a groan in acknowledgment, not fully awake yet to speak.

"Guess what today is?!" He asked excitedly.

"Saturday?" You asked, voice still laced with sleepiness.

"No, silly! Well, actually, it IS Saturday, but that's not important. IT'S SNOWING! THE FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON!" He said loudly with a big smile on his face. You barely got a chance to properly sit up as Taehyun dragged you out of bed to go look out the window. You slightly shivered as you felt the cold air coming from the glass and looked outside to confirm your boyfriend's excitement.

"It is snowing!" You said, feeling awake from the cold air and properly sharing your boyfriend's excitement. You loved looking at snow but not so much being in it. You loved the look but not the feel, if that makes sense. Taehyun, however, loved it all and was ready to rush outside to have a snow day with you.

"But baby, we didn't even have breakfast yet." You said as you watched him pull out the winter boots and snow gear from the closet.

"So what I'm hearing is that we can go out if we eat?" He asked, glimmer of hope shining through his eyes.

"AND shower." You said, adding an extra tidbit to the compromise.

"DEAL!" He yelled with a grin before running into the kitchen. Assuming he had already brushed his teeth, you went to brush yours as he got breakfast in order. By the time you finish in the bathroom, the meal is set on the table waiting for you. By meal, I mean a bowl of cereal.

"I'm surprised you didn't immediately start eating once you made your bowl." You teased him as you sat down and started to eat.

"____ I'm not a gremlin, you know." He said, eating at the same time as you.

"You might as well be because you're rushing to go outside."

"You know I love snow." He justified.

"Trust me, I know."

"We can make snowmen. One for you and one for me! Oh, and we can do snow angels! And also-" Taehyun started to ramble before you cut him off.

"You have an itinerary for the snow day?" You asked, surprised at all of the ideas he's throwing your way.

"You don't?" He asked back.

"I didn't even know it was going to snow today, so how could I?"

"You don't have to know if it's going to snow or not to plan ahead." He said as he finished his cereal and placed his bowl in the sink.

"Now hurry up so you can join me in the shower." He said, kissing your forehead before walking towards the bathroom.

"No funny business?" You asked with a raised eyebrow, knowing how he can get sometimes.

"____ this is serious business here." He replied with a huff.

"Let me guess, if I shower WITH you instead of after, we'll have more outside time." You said as you finished your bowl and started washing the dishes.

"Exactly! Now come on!" He said, dragging you away once again after you finished putting the dishes on the drying rack.

Your boyfriend was clearly on a mission as he started to run the water, ensuring it was at the right temperature for you two as you got your clothes ready.

"Baby! The water's warm now!" He called out to you.

"Okay!" You said, scurrying into the bathroom. Seeing your boyfriend so excited made you excited about what he had in store. Finishing up your joint shower, you two put on layer after layer to make sure you were warm and toasty for the outdoors.

Upon stepping foot out the door, Taehyun's whole face lit up as he watched the flakes slowly fall down around him. You snuck videos and photos of him, thinking he looked very cute. Once he saw your phone in your hands, the imaginary lightbulb went off above his head.

"I need to do a tiktok!" He suggested excitedly.

"You want to do tiktoks in the cold like this?" You asked him.

"Not just ANY tiktok babe. I HAVE to do the first snow challenge." You were confused for a moment and then remembered he was referring to the song by EXO.

"I forgot that this song is important this time of year for y'all."

"Yes, now will you please record it for me? I need to post it online."

"You're lucky I didn't put my phone away already." You said jokingly, knowing you would have said yes regardless. You watched him through the screen as he did the dance to the chorus and couldn't help but smile at him. After one take, you showed it to him, and he felt satisfied with it.

"That's perfect! Send it to me so I can post it when we get back inside."

"You don't have your phone on you?" You asked, to which he shook his head no.

"We still need to fulfill the itinerary, remember?"

"How could I forget?" You asked back at him.

Just like he planned for you two, you built snowmen and made snow angels together. You also took pictures for one another in the snow and some selfies as well. After a couple hours, you were starting to get cold and hungry.

"Babyyyy." You whined.

"Yes?"

"I'm hungry, and I'm starting to get cold now." You said, shivering for emphasis.

"Oh no, is my baby getting cold from the snow?" Taehyun asked, cupping your cheeks in his gloved hands.

"Yes, they are, so can we PLEASE go inside?" You said, trying to give him your best puppy dog eyes.

"Of course, baby." He said, giving you a quick kiss. You smiled as you walked back inside the house. You quickly took off your boots after stomping the snow off of the bottom of them and ran to your bedroom to remove your layers and change into something warm as your boyfriend started to prepare lunch for thr two of you.

"Did you enjoy your snow day?" You asked him when you came back.

"Absolutely I did. Next snow day, we're having a snowball fight." He said.

"Oh, you're SO going down! You're lucky I already took everything off because I would've challenged you right now."

"Right, I'M the lucky one." He said sarcastically.

"You are! I've been told I can make a good snowball and I have good aim."

"We'll see for sure next time around."

You spent the rest of the day trying to warm up and watching the kids outside having fun in the snow. Throughout the day, Taehyun found himself singing along to the EXO song that he danced to. You would nod along to his singing, enjoying every time you heard him sing during the day. For your first snow day together, it was truly a great one.
