This is what Christmas at Minsung "could" look like!

But as I said, it's just a Christmas special that's not really part of the story and merely takes place in the same universe.

POV Jisung

I woke up and snuggled further against the warm body next to me. "Jisung wake up, I have to get going, even if I don't want to, thanks to you," this one murmured softly in my ear. "But Minho, you're so nice and warm, and I'm still tired...", "It's only three hours...", "Which you can also just stay here.", "And who will pay the bills and presents then.", "All right! But you'll be back here in three hours on the dot.", I just pouted for a moment and carefully detached myself from him, so he could stand up. "See you in three hours," he murmured in my ear once more and placed his soft but also slightly rough lips on mine. His body, as always, very defined. To this day, I didn't understand how he managed it, work, giving me attention and sport. I was already overwhelmed if I had to do just one of them. I lay down on my left side to have the perfect view of his body while he got dressed. "Babe you're staring again" "How am I not staring please?" he grinned and came back to me "See you later" he placed his two hands on my cheeks and breathed a light kiss on my mouth, which is why I pulled him closer to me by his tie and kissed him properly. "I miss you already" I mumbled against his lips "The sooner you let me go, the sooner I'll be back" since it sounded more tempting than keeping him with me, I immediately broke away and made a hand gesture to let him know to leave quickly. "OK, OK, I'm going," he just laughed and walked out of our bedroom.

Stretching I sat up, in the corner of my right eye I looked at my alarm clock which also showed the date and was startled to realise that it was already the 25th of December. "Shit!", I got up immediately. However, that was a bit too fast for my body, which was why I sat down again for a moment, as I had spent most of my time with Minho, I had totally forgotten to get a present! What was I going to do, as I still wanted to cook dinner, I couldn't even go into town now. I can't believe I really forgot to get something for the person who means so much to me. I know he doesn't like presents and since he felt like he already had everything in the world, it was even harder to get one, but I just wanted to give him a present to show that I was very grateful and that he was important to me, but that's exactly what I forgot to do. I ran my hand over my face once. I needed a plan and quickly, as I started to get dressed, I thought. What could I do? Maybe make something? No, no, no, I could have done that to my mothers when I was eight years old. But by now I was too old for that, but I couldn't think of anything better, so what else could I do? I thought, crafting wasn't a bad idea. I mean, getting something made by me is really a good idea. That way, I don't run the risk that he already has the present! I sighed. Was I really thinking about making something for my friend? Yes, I was, and since I didn't have time, that was probably the only thing I'd do. In the meantime, I had finished getting dressed and brushing my teeth and went to the kitchen to check on the roast, which had been in the oven since last night and had been put on this morning by our domestic help. And since everything looked good so far, I looked around our flat for craft stuff, which I found quite quickly. I'm sure you wondered why two adults without children would have craft supplies at home. This question is very easy to answer. Minho's little brother loved to do handicrafts and since he came to visit often, we always had something to make! I had to smile when I thought about his little brother. He was really cute, even if he was a little extra now and then, he had grown very close to my heart, and at the same time I had to think of how Minho treated him. I remember the first time I saw them together, I knew Minho would make a good father. But enough with the gushing! After all, I had to make a present and since my handicraft skills were very limited, it could be funny.

2 ½ hours later, the table was set. Dinner was ready, and I was still without a present, as my crafting skills were, as I said, limited and especially today when I needed them, a bouquet of paper flowers quickly turned into a molehill and I still had no idea how I had done it, but I was now very sure that crafting is not for everyone! I couldn't understand how Jeongin managed to make partial masterpieces, and I couldn't even manage flowers! I was frustrated. What should I do now? I had no gift and no idea what else to do and best of all, Minho is back home in about 30 minutes, so my window of opportunity was reduced to not even 30 minutes. So I just accept my fate and tell him I have no present. Meanwhile, I looked down at myself and noticed I was still in this morning's clothes. So I went back into the bedroom to put on a shirt and black suit trousers. After all, I wanted to look pretty for the evening, which would be a bit difficult if I stood in front of him in my black sweatpants, which were full of flour. I styled my hair a bit more after getting dressed and went back to the kitchen where I waited for Minho. About 10 minutes after I sat down, I heard the beep of our code lock, which made me get up and go to the door to greet Minho again as soon as I could. "Are you off now?", I asked him "Yes I am babe", he answered me while taking off his jacket and hanging it on the coat hook "You look damn good", he grinned and pulled me close to him to kiss me, which I immediately returned. During the kiss, he broke away once, briefly. "Merry Christmas," he whispered and kissed me again. His lips were very cold from the cold outside and also rough, but I didn't let that stop me and deepened the kiss a little, loosening his tie a little "Since when do you eat dessert first?" he asked as he pulled away from me. " He asked as he loosened his tie to grin at me "I can't help it if the dessert looks this good" I countered, taking his hand and pulling him into the kitchen "I wish you a Merry Christmas too Minho" I smiled proudly as at least I hadn't messed up with the decorations "It smells really delicious, and the atmosphere is really nice Jisung" he pulled my chair back a little and gestured for me to sit down. When I had done so, he pushed my chair back to the table and then sat down on his own. We ate heartily and talked during the meal, and after we had finished, I cleared the dishes together with Minho and after that was done, we sat down together on our sofa... "Jisung, I had said that I didn't want a gift from you and that I found this gift-giving and receiving terrible, but unfortunately I have to confess that I did get you something..." I looked at him, puzzled. "Jisung, we have experienced a lot together. Last year you moved in with me and that was really the best thing that could have happened to me, but I think something is missing to make it perfect, two things to be exact, but we can't have one without the other, which is why I already got the one.", "Minho, I don't get it? ", he reached into his suit trousers and pulled out a small wrapped present. "Open it", he said, placing it carefully in my hand and looking at me "I don't know, I don't have anything for you. Somehow I feel bad about it", he just grinned, so I sighed and just opened it "Hm?", what laughed back at me was a small black box which when I opened it contained a white gold ring with a diamond. Minho took my two hands that held the box in his own, "Jisung, I would like to ask you if you would like to marry me?" he asked me a little uncertainly. Apart from the fact that I had never seen Minho like this before, I was also very caught off guard by the question. "I-I," not being capable of much more, I simply nodded and hugged Minho, overjoyed, who returned this after a moment's hesitation. I wiped the rising tears from the corner of my eye "You make me the happiest man in the world Jisung", he carefully detached himself and put the ring on my left ring finger. Which thus officially made me the fiancé of the famous Mister Lee.

"The end," I grinned at our son, "What?! No, Appa, you can't do that. You have to tell me more, this can't be the end!" he spoke indignantly" Jae what Appa and I did after that is nothing that you should care about." Minho just grinned, who was sitting next to me. "OK Pa", Jae kissed my cheek and sat down by the Christmas tree where he was playing with his toys. "Merry Christmas Ji," Minho whispered in my ear before kissing it, only to follow up by kissing the forehead of our second son, who was sleeping peacefully in my arms.

"Merry Christmas Min."
