volunteering, is what you have been always passionate about. no matter how hard your friends pleaded you to hang out with them, you would always say the same thing.

it was a christmas eve, you were a bit sad of letting a precious puppy go. you've always fond of this one little puppy, from day one since he was born. unfortunately, on that christmas eve, the center told you that it was about to be adopted and the new owner would pick him up on christmas.

a part of you, were sad since you are attached to it, but a part you thought it was a christmas miracle that the puppy will be give a new loving home. that he will be taken care of, filled with love and care by his human parents.

hugging it closed as you placed it against you chest, you can't contain yourself as a tear slipped through your cheek.

"i'm going to miss you so much!" you hummed the word 'so'. you can't bear yourself from bawling and as if the puppy knew, he licked your cheeks.

"you'll be okay. you will have a new home, good food, more love. okay, brownie?" you named him brownie since his fur was mostly coated with brownish colour. the little puppy whimpered in sadness, as if he knows what you were feeling.

"hi- you okay?" taehyung, your boyfriend greeted you as soon as you stepped into the house. your eyes puffed and your nose were red.

"i think i look like a rudolph the red nose reindeer already." you chuckled, not wanting to shed another tears.

"still a cute reindeer though! my reindeer" he winked, helping to pull your bag from your shoulder. tossing them aside, he widened his arms, you ran into his embrace, letting out another episode.

"i am a crybaby aren't i?" your voice came out muffled, still crying against his chest.

"let it out. tell me, what's bothering you today? anything happened while you were in the shelter? my baby got bullied? tell oppa who bullied you?" he said, cupping your face, making you looked at him. by now, your face were already sticky due to the tears.

"brownie. he is about to be adopted. i'm going to miss him." you lips quivered before shedding few drops of tears, crying against his chest. brownie, your favouritw little puppy. everytime you came home from the shelter, you will always talked about your favourite puppy, the whole day, since you can't get enough of him.

"so that was what bothering you?" you nodded with your face still glued to his chest.

"we will hope for the best. i am sure he will be well taken care off in a loving home." he said, comforting you. you sniffled trying to stop crying, peeling your body from him.

"i hope so too." you mumbled, when you felt an arm circling your shoulder.

"come on, let's have dinner. i ordered chickens today!" he chirped, dragging you and your lazy feet to the kitchen.

feeling fresh after showering, you walked out of the bedroom and joined taehyung who was sitting on the couch watching the television.
plopping yourself on the couch, you wrapped both your arms around his, and rest your head on his shoulders. you legs on the other hand, were placed on top of his folded legs.

"still sad?"

"i'm fine." your eyes were glued to the television, which was on advertisement. sadly you cried again, while watching the advertisement on dog food. your mind automatically wandered to little brownie.

"i-i b-bet somewhere in seoul, a kid will have a wonderful christmas, having a new c-companion." you sobbed again for the nth time that day.

"as long as the kid is happy and brownie will be happy too." he soothed you. "don't cry. you'll find a new friend in the shelter, and cherish it." you nodded and apologized to him for being such a crybaby.

both of you continued to watch the movie on the television with your red puffy eyes, and bloated face. another hour passed, you lifted your head up, and peered at the clock on the side table. it struck 11.55 at night. five more minutes till christmas.

the movie credits rolled as the movie was finished. you stretched your limbs, and your body on the couch, making your shirt lifted upwards.

taehyung saw a chance and began to tickle you, making you squirmed on the couch, laughing your heart out.

"t-taehyung! please!" you pleaded, but taehyung still continued to tickle you. you gathered your strength to pull yourself up, and began to straddle him. the only way to stop him was, to peck his lips.

of course, it doesn't stop at pecking as he deepened the kiss. both of you pulled yourself from each other, as the clock chimed as it struck midnight.

"merry christmas!" he wished you, as he rested his forehead against yours.

"merry christmas too, tae." you touched his nose against his, while smiling. to your surprise, the door bell buzzed, making you looked at tae, asking him if he expects any guest especially during that time.

"uh yes?" he answered unsure of himself. you let him go, by standing up, before pulling him from the couch. still clueless, you pushed him to answer the person behind the door.

you waited for him to come back to the living area.

"alright. thank you and merry christmas!" you heard him greeted before slamming the door shut.

anticipating, you glanced at the arch wall, waiting for him to pass through, from the entrance to the living room.

instead of taehyung, you saw a familiar little puppy running through it, to you.

"brownie!" you squealed. bending yourself down to pick him up, you wiggled your nose against the puppy.

"you are here!" you screamed in joy, before looking at taehyung who was leaning against the wall, with his folded arms, smirking.

"you are the one who adopted brownie!" letting brownie down, you ran and hugged taehyung. you puckered your lips out, and pecked him on every available space on his face— his cheeks, forehead, nose, eyelids, lips, and even his chin!

"thank you, thank you!"

"merry christmas honey!" he said, you pecked his lips again.

"i thought it's a good decision, to have a puppy in the house, so that you won't be lonely if i am not around." he said.

"this means so much to me! the best christmas!"

"does that mean, i have a new competition now?" he pouted making you laughed to your heart content.
