Chan rolled back and forth sleeplessly in bed. It drove him crazy that he still had no gifts for Changbin and Jisung. He knew that his time was running out and that he wouldn't have time to buy anything today.

Sighing, he sat up and leaned against the headboard of the bed after he had been awake for over an hour.

He had had so many ideas at the beginning of the month and wanted to turn the time into something special, but he hadn't really succeeded. Something unexpected had always come up. And not even the short trip to Jeju went as planned.

Even though he had to admit that it had still worked out best. Jisung had been incredibly carefree on Jeju. He and Changbin had really been able to see how Jisung's worries had fallen off.

He came up with an idea.

As quietly as he could, he got up, left Jisung's room and tapped into his own. His laptop was on his bed. Chan grabbed it and went into the living room with it.

He knew that it would make little sense to book everything now, even if he knew what their schedule would be like next year. He wanted to take a little more time than rush everything now.

But at least he could make a card and print it out.

Smiling, he picked out suitable pictures, put together a collage and planned to print them later in the studio.

In order to complete his project, he would still have to talk to his parents, but that had to wait until later, maybe even until after Christmas.

After the tension had now fallen off him, the fatigue suddenly overwhelmed him. Yawning, he closed his laptop and went back to Changbin and Jisung.

The two lay snuggled close to each other and it looked so incredibly cozy and cuddly that Chan couldn't help but smile happily.

Even though the month had been exhausting and sometimes really challenging and painful, it had also brought them an incredible amount of closeness and love.

Tired, but also extremely satisfied with himself and the world, Chan snuggled up to Jisung and closed his eyes.

Shortly afterwards, Jisung pressed his lips against Chan's shoulder in half-sleep, which led to the older's heart to melt.

"I love you so much," he murmured and fell asleep shortly afterwards.

Jisung woke up a few hours later. He was snuggled up tightly between Chan and Changbin and felt incredibly comfortable.

The warmth of them felt incredibly good and he felt safe and protected.

He closed his eyes again for a moment and would have liked to stay in bed with them all day. But unfortunately he knew very well that this wasn't gonna happen.

Today would be the last rehearsal before the performance and since it was only the second day with the new dancers, they couldn't skip the rehearsal.

Sighing, he crawled out of bed and tapped into the bathroom. His body hurts a lot. The rehearsals and sex of the last few days took their toll and his body just felt sore and tense.

Yawning, he stood in the shower and let warm water rain down on him.

He hoped that the warmth would at least a little so that his body would relax and his muscles would no longer hurt so much. But he already had the feeling that it would help better if Chan massaged him.

Sighing, he washed his hair and body as fast as he could and then left the shower again. Showering alone was no fun at all and he longed for Chan and Changbin even though he had just been lying in bed with them.

He rubbed his hair dry, then wrapped the towel around his hip and went back to his room.

Chan opened his eyes sleepily when Jisung snuggled back to him in bed.

"Baby you're all wet..," Chan murmured and followed the wet traces on Jisung's body with his finger.

"Channie, everything hurts me," Jisung murmured painfully and pressed closer to Chan.

"Should I massage you?" Chan asked and yawned.

"Yes, please," he murmured with a pout on his lips, which made Chan smile. He bent over to the younger and kissed him gently before he sat up.

"Well, lie down then."

Satisfied smiling, Jisung followed the request and shortly afterwards he was able to relax under Chan's warm, skillful hands.

"No wonder you have back pain... You're mega tense, baby," Chan murmured and made even more effort to massage the hardened areas properly.

"Ooouh," Jisung groaned. "Maybe I should start working out with you."

Chan laughed softly. "Sounds like a good plan. You will certainly look hot when you workout. And I can help you at any time."

Grinning, Jisung shook his head. "You are unbelievable."

"Although if I think about it now, maybe we should workout at home..."

"I don't think we would really workout much then," Changbin murmured sleepily.

Jisung straightened up with a grin and bent over to Changbin. "I don't understand at all what you mean by that." But he didn't give the older one time to answer. Instead, he pressed his lips on Changbin's and pulled him closer.

"It would only depend on the right motivation," Chan said with a grin.

When Jisung finally released Changbin, Chan bent over to him and kissed him.

"Good morning, Binnie."

"Good morning, my dirty minded loves," Changbin murmured and grinned sleepily.

"We will get you to switch to the side of the dirty minded. But now we have to get ready first. We will be picked up soon," said Chan regretfully, kissed the two fleetingly and stood up.

"If it has to be..." Jisung sighed and followed Chan's example.

"But I don't want to. I'm tired and hungry," Changbin muttered, turned around and pulled his pillow over his head.

"You are unbelievable! BOTH OF YOU! Seo Changbin! Get up! Only today and tomorrow and we will be done and have a few days off!" Chan growled, chuckling and pulled Changbin's blanket away.

"You are so mean," Changbin whined plaintively so that Jisung went to him and pulled him into his arm.

"He is a very mean man and we should ally ourselves against him!" said Jisung and grinned at Chan maliciously.

"You won't get your Christmas present if you don't get up right now," he just growled and left the room, grinning to himself.

Despite all the jokes, they finally realized that they really had to hurry to be in the studio in time.

And so it came to Changbin sitting in the car with wet hair, while Jisung cursed at himself because he had forgotten his training clothes.

Chan sat innocently smiling next to them, deepened in his phone and continued his research for the Christmas gift of the two.

Arriving in the studio, the rehearsal actually went quite well until Chan slipped with a thoughtless step and slammed on his wrist. The pain brought tears to his eyes and he clenched his teeth so as not to sob loudly.

"Fuck," Jisung bawled. Worried, he ran to him and knelt next to him. "Is everything okay?"

Chan shook his head silently and bit his lower lip, which trembled suspiciously.

Seconds after Jisung, Changbin came running and also knelt next to them. "Should I call an ambulance or should we take you to the hospital?" he asked and looked incredibly worried.

"God just not an ambulance...," Chan weakly murmured and leaned against Jisung.

"Yes, well, then we will accompany you. Let's go now!"

"The rehearsal is over for today. We will let you know if he still can perform tomorrow," Changbin said and bowed fleeing to the dancers while Jisung helped Chan up.

When Chan finally sat in the car, tears ran down his cheeks. His wrist hurt incredibly and he was so angry with himself. If he had paid a little more attention and placed the step better, none of this would have happened.

And now they might not be able to perform at the Christmas show if his wrist was broken. The whole effort, all the rehearsals and hours of training would have been in vain. And their fans would be incredibly disappointed.

Jisung gently wiped his tears from his face and would have liked to kiss him, but preferred to let it be.

"Everything will be fine..." he murmured and added a "Hopefully" to his thoughts.

Chan nodded sniffing and leaned against the younger one.

Changbin got in and closed the car door behind him. "Okay, we can go." He had to walk back again to get their stuff. Especially, Chan's insurance card.

Hell was loose in the hospital. Somehow it seemed like people were just going crazy because of the holidays, which was why it took a while for Chan's turn.

Changbin and Jisung had to wait in the waiting room when Chan was X-rayed and their nerves were bare.

It seemed as if time stood still while they sat there with masks and lowered heads so as not to be recognized. They could have gone home, but they didn't want to leave Chan alone.

At some point, Jisung leaned against Changbin and closed his eyes. He was infinitely tired. Because everything took so long, it was already late in the evening and he just wanted to go home. He wanted Chan to be well and that they could just cuddle up in bed. That they could enjoy their free time after the show.

When Chan finally came back to them, Jisung had fallen asleep on Changbin's shoulder. The oldest wore a splint on his wrist and looked a little pale.

He knelt in front of the two and gently stroked Jisung's arm. Who opened his eyes sleepily and took a moment to wake up.

"Let's go home," Chan said tiredly.

"May you perform?" Changbin asked when they were finally sitting in the car.

"I'd rather not. It's just bruised and I should just be careful. But it should works with the splint," said Chan and shrugged his shoulders.

Changbin looked at him doubtfully, while Jisung looked like he was about to fall asleep again.

"Then you should probably try to move your hand as little as possible...," Jisung murmured worriedly.

"First of all, we should go to bed now. We'll take care of everything else later," Chan said and yawned.

A short time later, they were finally at home and Chan had managed to undress with the help of Jisung, while Changbin called their manager.

"Maybe it's better if you sleep on the edge. It'll be less possible that we will bump against your wrist," said Jisung when Chan wanted to lie down in the middle of the bed.

"You're right..", sighing, Chan slipped aside and patted on the spot next to him. "Come here baby!"

Smiling, Jisung crawled into bed with Chan and snuggled up to him. "Now you are defenseless at my mercy," he said, gently stroking Chan's belly.

"I can't imagine anything more wonderful," Chan said with a grin.

"Did you have to break your wrist to realize that it's nice when others take care of you?" Changbin asked with a grin, who had come into the room at that moment.

"It's not broken.. But it seems so. And while we're on the subject, I absolutely need more kisses so that it heals better."

Changbin's grin turned into a loving smile, he walked around the bed and kissed Chan gently before he undressed himself.

"Without the shirt!" Jisung reminded him before he bent over to Chan and kissed him as well. When he turned around again, he saw the Changbin sitting in bed, but still wearing a shirt.

"Why won't any of you actually listen to me? Come here Binnie..," Jisung said and stretched out his arms to the older one, but he shook his head.

Grinning, Jisung raised his eyebrows, crawled to Changbin and sat down on his lap. "Shall I help you take off the shirt?" he asked with a grin and buried his hands in Changbin's hair.

He bit his lower lip and nodded.

Chan watched the two grinning and felt arousal rise in him.

Jisung gently stroked Changbin's lower lip before kissing him and making his hands disappear under the older's shirt. "Too bad that Channie can only watch. He's missing out on all the fun."

Slowly he pushed Changbin's shirt up and pulled it over his head.

"Who says I can only watch," said Chan, bent over to Jisung and gently bit his neck.

Moaning, Jisung leaned against him and pulled Changbin with him.

"Maybe we should stop and go to sleep. We have to get up really early tomorrow," Chan murmured as he let his uninjured hand wander over Jisung's upper body. He was just about to gently suck on Jisung's neck when he remembered that it wasn't a good idea.

"Yeah, maybe we should," Jisung murmured and rubbed his butt against Chan's lap.

"True... we need sleep..." Changbin murmured, leaned forward and kissed Jisung lustfully.

All three were torn back and forth. On the one hand, they really needed sleep, on the other, none of them wanted to stop.

But when Chan supported himself thoughtlessly with his injured wrist and groaned in pain, Jisung stopped, turned around worriedly and the arousal was suppressed by worry.

"I think it's better if we sleep now," Jisung said with a frown and gently pushed Chan into bed.

"Alright..."

Finally, they were snuggled up close to each other and only then did they realize how long the day had actually been and how tired they were. It didn't took long for them to fall asleep.
