December 24th, Christmas Eve. It was the time of year where family, friends and couples would get together and share precious moments together. Shopping malls were packed, laughter and gifts were everywhere and winter love was in the air. Everyone was happy all except for one.

The DGNA boys were given two days off and were in their dorm, sitting in the living room spending a quiet day together. But something or someone was missing. Jay and Injoon were sitting on the floor playing together. Hyumin was seated in a single chair and reading a book. Mika was listening to his Ipod on the couch and looked at the empty seat beside him. Karam. The boy was back in Daegu helping his family with their Christmas celebration. As much as Karam didn't want to leave his band mates on such a special day, his mother begged him to come back. Having no choice, he left on the day before Christmas Eve. Mika sighed, playing with his Ipod wires. Being a good boyfriend he understood Karam's parents missed him and wished to see him, especially on Christmas day. He wasn't angry or upset but more of lonely. Like every other couple he wanted to spend Christmas eve with his special someone, to go shopping, have a walk in the park or just hang out but that wasn't gonna happen any time soon for Karam would be coming back on the 25th, Christmas Day.

Mika gently took out his earphones and his eyes landed on the couple on the floor. Hyunmin took a glance at Mika. He was the only one other than Karam who could sense what was wrong with their leader. Jay was lying on his tummy, while Injoon squeezed his nose making the magnae squirm. It was such a cute sight. The two just got together a few days before Christmas Eve and they made such an adorable couple. Mika couldn't help but smile then shifted his gaze to the empty seat beside him where Karam would sit. The younger boy would lay his head on the leader's lap and Mika would his ever so soft fluffy hair. Mika stared into deep space as he continued to imagine Karam being there. "Hyung." A deep husky voice interrupted his thoughts. Mika slightly shook his head and looked at Hyunmin for a second before glancing at Injoon and Jay. "You ok?" Hyunmin asked concerned.

"Yeah hyung, you were kind of spacing out." Injoon agreed as Jay nodded. Mika bit his lip and shifted his gaze to the floor.

"Deh…" He nodded as Hyunmin frowned a little. That didn't convince him. He knew Mika wasn't telling the truth. It was written all over his face. Mika; was missing a certain someone. Of course the rest of the members all knew that Karam was the one absent and they knew how much Mika missed him but they didn't dare mention his name. It hurt them to see Mika hurt. "You sure?" Jay asked blinking, "Here you can borrow my PSP if you want." He grinned trying to brighten the mood. Mika looked at Jay then the PSP then let out a small grin. What a nice magnae. "Aww my Jihwannie is so sweet." Injoon ruffled his boyfriend's hair. As Mika reached out to receive the PSP from Jay, the magnae's smiling face was suddenly replaced by Karam's bright smile. Mika flinched a bit as he blinked. "Uh…thank you Jay but…I think I'm gonna go for a walk." He got up from the couch and headed for the front door as s watched him go. "I'll be back in a couple of hours." Mika assured them as he grabbed his coat and headed out.

"You sure he'll be ok hyung?" Injoon asked Hyunmin who had an uncertain look plastered on his face but nevertheless smiled. "He'll be fine."

Mika decided he needed some time out of their dorm and get some fresh air. Staying in there only reminded him of Karam and how much he missed him. He strolled along the chilly streets of Seoul observing little kids laugh and play, families having a good time and needless to say, couples getting all lovey-dovey. Mika buried his hands into his coat and kept his eyes on the road. He stopped by small gift shop and peered into the window. Every year, on this very day, he and Karam would go shopping together and buy gifts for each other as well as the other members and have a gift exchanging event, but that probably wasn't gonna happen this year. Mika stared at the souvenirs a bit while longer then turned his attention to soft screams nearby. A few fangirls squealed and waved when they saw him and being polite Mika bowed to them and continued his walk. The leader sighed as he blew out an icy breath. He thought being out in the open would help clear his mind, but it only reminded him of Karam even more.

Mika then decided he needed to be alone. Where no one, or rarely anyone would hang out. He immediately headed for Seoul Park and as he expected, very few people were there. Kids were skating on the frozen pond, a few were having a snowball fight and again there were 2 couples cuddling on benches. Mika adjusted his earmuffs as he stepped on the crunchy snow. "Oh come on Mika, stop being so depressed. It's not like Karam's gonna be gone forever. He'll be back tomorrow." He told himself out loud and looked up in the sky.

The sun was starting to set and one by one the stars started to become visible. Mika noticed one star was bigger and brighter than all the rest and suddenly had the urge to make a wish. 'I wish for a happy ending.' He prayed silently gazing at the star which seemed to just stare down at him like nothing happened. 'Heh,' Mika scoffed softly to himself as he looked down, 'Get real Mika, wishes like that rarely come true, unless if you're really lucky.' He let out another big sigh as he continued walking through the thick snow.

A gentle cold breeze suddenly appeared before him, slightly blowing his black hair. Mika closed his eyes and lifted his face to feel the fresh cool wind. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Karam standing in front of him. Mika's eyes widened, "Karam!" He shouted running towards the boy. He couldn't believe it! Karam said he was in Daegu and yet he was right before his eyes. Mika quickened his pace and just when he was about to reach out for the boy's hand, the image of Karam suddenly dissolved into little bits and pieces of snow as the particles gradually blew away with wind. Mika retracted his hand as he watched the wind carry away the snow. 'Great Mika, now you're seeing things.' He shook his head, 'Karam couldn't have made it back here in time. It just…just wasn't possible.' Mika felt his eyes become hot despite the coldness out there. He wrapped his scarf around his mouth that was freezing up. "Karam…" Mika breathed his voice slightly quivering.

"...Hyung...! Suhoon hyung!" A familiar hazy voice called out to him.

'Oh great Mika and now you're hearing things too.' The singer mumbled to himself.

"Suhoon hyung!" Mika gasped, snapping back to reality. That voice; it wasn't just his imagination. It was real and he recognized that voice anywhere. No one else would call him that unless something came up. Could it be? He whirled around to see Karam standing a few feet in front of him. The boy had a worried look plastered on his face. Mika blinked. Was it all just an illusion again? "K…Karam…?" Mika whispered taking a step closer, "Is it…?" Taking precaution this time, he slowly approached the boy and reached over to cup Karam's cheek. That soft skin; that familiar warm feeling. It really was real. "It really is you…" Mika breathed as Karam slightly leaned into Mika's touch.

"It's me hyung."

"What are you doing back here?" Mika asked now caressing Karam's cheek, "I thought you were in Daegu helping your family." Karam gently took hold of Mika's hand and slowly released his hand off his cheek; still gripping onto the elder's hand. "We finished early," Karam explained, "So I asked my mom if I could go back to Seoul and knowing how much I missed you guys, she allowed me. So I came back here as fast as I could…and you were the first person I came to see."

"…Karam…" Mika stared into his lover's eyes, speechless.

"I'm sorry I couldn't spend most of Christmas Eve with you and didn't even have time to get you a gift…I'm so…" Before Karam could finish his sentence, Mika pulled him into his arms and embraced him tightly. Karam was shocked but soon relaxed into the hug. He buried his nose into Mika's shoulder and took in his sweet scent. The couple was silent for a while as they hugged in the middle of the peaceful snowing park. Karam rested his chin on Mika's shoulder, wishing this moment could last forever.

It had been a while since they had a long hug. Suddenly, he felt Mika hiccup softly. Karam's eyes widened as he clutched onto Mika's jacket tighter, leaving marks. Was the leader…crying? "Hyung." Karam whispered concerned as Mika suddenly broke their hug, tilted Karam's chin with his finger and leaned in for a sweet tender kiss. Karam immediately felt weak as he gladly returned the kiss. It had only been half a day but he missed Mika's touches already. Mika gave Karam one last peck before slowly backing off. "Just seeing you here right by my side is the best gift I could ever ask for." He whispered as a single tear slid down Karam's cheek.

"I'm just sorry I couldn't come earlier." Karam pouted as Mika rubbed his tear away with his thumb.

"Hey you came back," Mika smiled, "Now stop crying, your face is getting all puffy."

"You're crying too." Karam .

"Am not." Mika pretended to scratch his eye as he shifted his gaze away. Karam couldn't help but smile and looked at the night sky,

"Hey, it's not too late yet. You…wanna go shopping?" Mika broke into a huge grin, nodded and took his boyfriend's hand. Karam grinned widely as the two happily ran out of the park, hand in hand. Looks like they were gonna do their Christmas shopping after all. Somewhere in the dark sky, the stars, especially the one Mika wished upon twinkled brightly as if they were watching the couple and smiling in satisfaction. Meanwhile back at the dorm, Hyunmin was gazing out the window and he seemed to be gazing at the very same star Mika wished upon. The boy smiled warmly.

"…I knew you'd be ok hyung..." Guess wishes really do come true.
