"A leather jacket! I love it, it's exactly the color I wanted too" Jimin exclaimed, seeing his gift from his mother.

"I remember you mentioned it once when we were watching that music video" she said and he nodded.

The jacket was dark red, with writings on the back and sleeves, he got up to try it on right away on top of his black long sleeved shirt.

"Look at you, so cool!"

"Thanks ma" he said and kissed her cheek. He jogged to his room and got the very nice golden paper bag, handing it to her and sitting by her side to watch her reaction carefully.

She raised her eyebrows at the shiny packaging and hummed "Let's see what little Jimini got for me" she muttered, the smile on her face remaining as she discovered the fancy box inside. She looked at her son suspiciously and carefully opened it, finding yet another packaging, but this time a red velvet one that she right way recognized as a jewelry box.

She gasped "What did you do" she said, bracing herself to pull the upper part up "Oh my god Jimin" she whispered, looking at all the crystals and the fine accessories on her lap.

With a hand on her mouth, she touched the jewels and gasped yet again "Did you rob a bank Jimin this must have cost so much money!" she said and he shook his head.

"I did not rob a bank, no" he chuckled.

"But Jimin this must've used up all your job money" she said, her hand starting to tremble as she picked up the necklace in her hand.

"Dad used to do it, I figured it was my turn" he smiled and she pulled him in her arms.

"I fucking love you baby" she declared and he laughed.

"I know you do"

"I don't know what I would do without you"

"Well you wouldn't own this magnificent jewelry"

"Oh my god it will look so good on me, I already know" she said and chuckled.

"I hope you'll wear it at new year's, I didn't go broke for you to leave it in the dresser" he said and she scoffed.

"I could wear it everyday, that's how much I love it" she replied, making him burst out laughing.

"Imagine you wearing that to take out the trash" he asserted.

"Take out trash with style, you know what I'm saying?" she stated.

Jimin went to his room after that pleasing Christmas morning, he plopped on his bed, a smile on his face thinking about the happiness in his mom's eyes seeing his gift. It was worth it, he thought.

Speaking of worth it, that cologne also was very much so.

He organized all the gifts he bought his friends on his desk so that he doesn't forget any when he goes to meet up in Joon's place that day. He sat back down and opened his snapchat, going to memories and playing the video of Jungkook singing.

"What are you doing pumpkin"

He chuckled at the other's clearly uncomfortable expression.

"Damn the guy can sing for real"

"The baller, the singer, the man!"

"Maybe I was a little too excited that night" he chuckled at himself, looking at how he pulled Jungkook in by hooking an arm around his neck. He noticed how close the taller's head was to his. Jungkook had a smile on his lips when he turned to him as Jimin looked at the camera.

"I guess he can be cute sometimes" he muttered, deciding to post it since he really thinks more people need to hear that voice, and also since Jungkook was obviously home now and nobody would suspect anything about his secret trips.

A few hours passed and Hobi came to pick him up, they hadn't seen each other in a bit and were excited to spend this time together.

"It's your first Christmas with us Chim" Hobi pointed out and he nodded.

"It won't be just us though, Ryujin will be there but you know that, Lisa too, I think one of our friends is at the house too but he said he was leaving in a bit" he explained and Jimin nodded.

"It's all good with me"

They arrived at the house and the mood was already very welcoming. Taehyung and Lisa were trying to make gingerbread houses, the table getting messy very quickly.

Namjoon and Jin were reviewing his Christmas sweater collection, the one he was currently wearing being the ugliest, it was Jesus with a birthday hat and a quote saying 'Birthday Boy'

Yoongi was getting made fun of by Ryujin for his own Christmas sweater, although Jimin could guess he didn't wear it by choice.

Jungkook wasn't there it appeared.

"The last person missing is now here!" Hoseok announced and everyone's attention was on them now. Taehyung ran to hug him, trying his best not to soil his clothes.

"Careful Tae"

"What were you doing, I thought you were gonna come over at my place so that we show up here together" the younger asked and he nodded.

"That was the plan, but I took a nap" he said and raised his arms up in helplessness.

"Of course you did" Taehyung rolled his eyes.

"Kim left?" Hoseok asked.

"Yeah his mom called" Jin answered and he hummed.

"Well I guess no additional introductions are needed" he turned to Jimin and chuckled.

"Hi Jimin!" Ryujin walked over and hugged him, keeping her arm around his side even after they pulled away.

"Merry Christmas" he told her.

"Since we're all here I think it's time to open our gifts!" Taehyung announced.

"Slow down TaeTae" Lisa said when he quickly walked to where he put his gifts.

"Where's Jeon?" Jimin asked, finding it weird that his girlfriend was here and not him.

"He went to pick up Tako" he said and Jimin smiled.

"Come to think of it, I didn't see him last night" Jimin wondered out loud, referring to the dinner.

"Yeah he was with me" Lisa said "Tae's mother is allergic to dogs" she explained and he hummed.

"We should wait for him then" Jimin said and Namjoon shook his head.

"We've been waiting for you long enough I wanna see what you guys got me" he said, putting down his ugly sweaters and sitting on the couch next to his brother.

"I'm here" Jungkook's deep voice could be heard from the end of the room where he stood, letting his dog loose and removing his jacket.

"Right on time" his girlfriend said, standing besides him with a small bag in her hands "Merry Christmas" she said and handed him his gift.

It was a silver watch, very expensive looking, but then again Lisa's family was pretty rich so she might be used to making presents like these. The accessory was stunning regardless though.

"I love you baby" he replied and kissed her briefly. The others were also exchanging gifts by then and Jimin thought he should get on with it as well.

He gave everyone theirs and took his. Tae got him a silver chain. Jin got him very nice sunglasses, he says so that Jimin doesn't go blind from looking at his glowing face. Namjoon got him a leather belt. Hoseok got him a flower shaped plushy purse, he said he thought it was cute and that Jimin should feel special because he could've kept that for himself.

Ryujin gave him a set of male earring and he will admit that he really liked them. They were asymmetrical, one was a long earring and the other was a simple small hoop with a ball in the middle.

He was busy thanking the girl when someone cleared his throat behind him. It was Yoongi and this was the first time they've interacted since that day on the chat. He saw how uncomfortable the other was and gave him a small encouraging smile.

"I got you a little something" he simply said and left everything up to him. Jimin opened the box and found some very nice basketball shorts. He inspected them with a surprised expression and thanked him.

"Here's mine" Jimin said.

"Thank you! A Spalding basketball!"

The other one looked very satisfied with the item and he just smiled tightly. Jimin would've loved this moment to have happened after they'd cleared out their issue because he wasn't enjoying it fully, not with the light Jimin was seeing him under now.

"Sorry Jimin I didn't get you anything this year" Lisa apologized and he dismissed the words "It's totally fine, at least now I'm not too embarrassed. I definitely would've gotten you something if I'd known you'd be here" he said with a smile.

"Stop flirting with my girl" Jungkook said, wrapping his arms around her waist from the back.

"Feeling the competition?" Jimin teased and he scoffed.

"You? Please. Anyway here's your gift" he said a threw a wrapped object at him. The thing was soft but it seemed like there was a flat surface in the middle. He opened it curiously and closed his eyes in annoyance once he saw what it was. Jungkook chuckled at his reaction and Lisa raised an eyebrow, not understanding what's funny.

"You didn't"

"Yes I did, you needed to start learning about fashion." he said and let go of the girl, taking the item and getting it out of the packaging "You have to try it" he said with a mischievous smile. Totally doing this just to get on Jimin's nerves.

A few seconds later, Jimin stood with his white long sleeved shirt and a harness on top. It had thin black belts that criss-crossed around the waist and two attached leather straps that went over the shoulders.

"There you go, Jungkook style" the tallest said and Jimin punched his chest "You're so annoying"

"Looks good on you man" Jin said and he looked down at himself.

"Well here I am I guess, officially joining Kook's sex worker crew" he spoke dramatically earning a few chuckles "Although feel free to call me whore I guess" he added, rolling his eyes at the last part.

"He's not gonna let you live that down" Taehyung told Yoongi with a shake of his head.

"Because of this, you won't be getting my gift" Jimin said, looking at the taller who was standing by him with crossed arms. He shrugged "I wasn't expecting any gifts this year, so it's fine" he said and Jimin frowned.

Why?

"Reverse psychology? I'm not a child"

"No no, I truly wasn't... I was barely around this year so I really thought I didn't deserve any"

"You're making me feel bad for you, that's gross"

"I'm just saying" he simply said and stayed silent, clearly okay with not receiving the present.

"Fine... Here it is" Jimin caved in and presented the bag to the other.

Jungkook just looked at it for a moment before holding and opening it "I love that cologne! My dad has it" Hoseok said and Jin nodded "It's expensive too" he added.

Jungkook was quite speechless, he did not think the younger would go out of his way to get him something like that, if anything, he thought he would get him a joke gift or nothing at all even. He's didn't think they were close enough for things like these.

"Thank you kid, I really appreciate it" he smiled and ruffled his hair, more than he usually does, triggering Jimin intensively.

"I'll break your arms next time!" Jimin threatened as he pursued him around the room, with his hair pointing everywhere and Jungkook's deep laugh resonating between the walls as he hid behind the people standing. It was rather ridiculous because Jungkook was big in size overall, and hiding behind Ryujin was, to say the least, inefficient.

Jimin sat on the couch with all the others, they said they wanted to play a game since they were many.

"Funny how our most expensive gifts were to people we like the least" he heard Yoongi chuckle beside him.

"Shouldn't you be getting that cologne then?" Jimin replied and the other looked down briefly before getting up.

"Can I talk to you for a second" Yoongi said from behind him. He turned and nodded, then followed to where he was walking.

"This is my room, sit wherever you want" he said and Jimin shrugged.

"It's okay, what is it you wanted to say" he simply asked and the other sighed.

"Look I'm sorry I offended you that day in the chat"

Jimin stayed silent, he hoped Yoongi planned to add something else because if it's just that half-assed apology, he was gonna leave feeling just as he is now.

"It was very inappropriate for me to judge him like that. Well, now I know it was a joke, but if it wasn't I would've looked like a total ass"

"You did regardless"

"I know just- hear me out. To be honest, I never thought about the possibility of any of us doing that type of stuff, so when y'all said it I just went with my basic instinct and assumed all of you would agree with me... I believed everyone thought that about those types of jobs and never really questioned myself" he explained.

"The rudest thing you said that day, the thing that actually pissed me off, was that you degraded Jungkook by saying he could become your little bitch if you paid for it... It would've been fine if we just had to educate you about how you generalized it because- I know it's a popular opinion. But when you said that about a friend who cared for you for a long time, and treated you as his own brother, I felt my blood boil" he said and Yoongi nodded.

"I know, I was in the wrong"

"Friends should never be thought of that way, even if he was a stripper or whatever, that would be his thing to deal with on his own. Friends don't even consider getting involved that way because they respect each other enough. To me, when you said that, you disrespected him entirely and I'm very sure he felt that way too"

"I will apologize to him, I just really wanted to talk to you because I hate how bad the vibes are between us" Yoongi said and he nodded.

"I know, same. Just promise me you won't say anything judgemental like that again, I don't think I'll be able to hang out with you then"

"You have my word"

"Also, what the fuck are you wearing"

"Joon made me wear this as a punishment for what I said to Kook"

"Right.. I don't get it though"

"Oh, I'm supposed to be a Christmas tree, but I have to put my arms up for you to understand" he said and did that exact gesture making Jimin crack up.

"I'm embarrassed for you"

"Shut up"

Returning to where the others were, they met Jungkook at the hallway and Yoongi stopped him right there, spitting an entire apology speech.

"All good Yoongs, remember, people who say things like that also don't win against me in one-on-one's" he replied and Yoongi smiled.

"Bet"

They all walked in the room and found the others sitting apart. Everyone doing their thing and they guessed nobody agreed on a game. Jungkook walked over to where Lisa was, noticing the frown on her face and getting curious.

"What's with the face, love" he said with a smile, hoping to cheer her up and she ignored him.

"What are you doing pumpkin"

He heard his voice from her phone and looked at the screen, he guessed Jimin posted that video, but it doesn't explain why she seems troubled.

"I see you have time to explore your talents and sexuality, but too busy to answer my texts" she spat out and he stalled, not completely understanding what she was saying.

"Sexuality? What are you talking about" he asked and she replayed the exact same part of the video.

"That? You can't see it right now cause it's faded, but Jimin had bright orange hair at some point so I called him pumpkin as a joke" he explained with a chuckle "You're overthinking, beautiful" he said with his deep voice, brushing his thumb on her cheek.

"I'm going home" she said and got up, breaking away from Jungkook's touch and picking up her things.

From the other side of the room, both Ryujin and Jimin were watching the scene unfold, vaguely assuming it wasn't all sunshine since they couldn't hear what was being said. They gave each other knowing looks as Jimin remembered what Ryujin said about what the two.
