~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You and Mrs. Jeon were putting up a Christmas tree in the house, until you both hear the door open.
"Dad is here early?" Mrs. Jeon says.
Footsteps near, and a familiar face shows up. You tremble.
"J-jungkook?! What are you d-doing here?" You stutter.
"What? Is it bad I come to visit my old house?" He sits down on the sofa.
"No! Of course not! It's just been so long." You smile.
"What changed your mind?" Mrs. Jeon said.
"I just came to get my suit." Jungkook responds.
"A suit?" You and Mrs. Jeon say at the same time.
"I can't wear jeans to a party." Jungkook says blandly.
"Jungkook, you're gonna attend your dad's Christmas party?!" Mrs. Jeon says excitedly.
"I asked to take a break from work, so I'll be late. Also I'll show my face for just a moment." He replies.
"Yay! Jungkook's coming!" V yells.
"Thank you! Your dad will be so happy to hear this news!" Mrs. Jeon smiles.
Right... Jungkook's going to that party..Then if I go to that party, I'll be able to spend Christmas Eve with Jungkook. But isn't this situation forgivable if I leave the friendship behind?
"So the party--" You say, and Jungkook cuts you off.
"I heard you can't make it." He says, getting out of the sofa to face you.
"What?" You respond quietly.
"You're spending Christmas with your friends." He towers over you like always.
"About th-that um..." You play with your fingers.
"What a shame. It would be so much fun if you were there." He looks around the room.
"He's right! Jungkook, try to persuade Y/N to go..." Mrs. Jeon says, clinging you arm.
"It's no use. It's her decision." He says.
"I think her friends will betray her, it's Christmas Eve after all." Mrs. Jeon pushes a bit more.
"No, no, their friendship is something special. Right, Y/N?" He looks at you.
"Well...That's..." You get nervous again.
"Is that so?" Mrs. Jeon asks.
Jungkook walks towards the exit.
"Wait, the suit! The one you wore at the graduation ceremony!" Mrs. Jeon and V run after him.
Jungkook's mean! Well, I can't do anything about it.. I made a pact not to betray.
~TIME SKIP~
You and Jihyun squeal.
You look at the menu and at the stuff you guys can make.
"So we're picking this limited cake to eat?!" Jihyun says.
"It looks so delicious! I'm so excited!" Hoseok says happily. "I'll prepare chicken!"
"I'll make you guys presents!" Jihyun follows.
*** CHRISTMAS EVE ***
"Everyone ready to go?" Mrs. Jeon asks in the living room.
"Ready!" V says, carrying his little brother Jimin.
"Well have a nice time, Y/N! We're off!" Mrs. Jeon swings her purse and leads the way, having V, Jimin, and Mr. Jeon follow behind her.
You wave excitedly. After hearing the door close you sigh.
'I bet Jungkook would look good in a suit..'
——————————
You watch Jungkook walk in front of you, in the most elegant manner possible. His suit is perfectly fit on him, and his eyes locked on yours. You stare back and puck your lips.
"May I have this dance?" Those five words come out of his lips, sounding like a symphony to your ears.
"Gladly." You reply.
He extends his hand as you gladly take it. His arms go on your waist, and the other on your hand. You both slow dance, as the whole crowd around you stares. It feels like... a dream...
——————————
And that's because it is.
You quickly get up the couch, your cheeks all red because of your daydream.
"I can't get distracted, I need to prepare for the party!" You say to yourself, and look around the house. You grab a mistletoe, wreaths, ornaments, and all the christmas decorations you can find! You hang them on different areas of the house cheerfully, each second getting you even more excited for your girls night out.
After finishing decorating, setting plates, and making cute DIY plates, you look at everything, feeling proud of yourself. You look outside, noticing it was already night time.
"I wish it was Jungkook I was waiting for right now.. oh well... they should be here soon." You breathe out and sit on the couch.
You get startled as you feel your phone ring from the coffee table. You quickly pick it up. You see the dialer and quickly answer.
"Hey, Hobi! What's up?" You beam at the phone.
Hobi's voice sounds apologetic through the phone. "I'm so so sorry, Y/N! Yoongi's concert got canceled due to a blizzard! I won't be able to make it tonight. He came all the way back to me even though the trains weren't working.. I'll have to take care of him, okay? I can't leave him for a party right now.. Can you excuse me this once?"
You sigh. "Yeah of course! I'll let Jihyun know, okay? It's fine, you didn't expect it! Say hi to Yoongi for me, okay?" You end.
"Well it's okay, Jihyun and I will have a blast together!" You say to yourself.
Another ring comes from your phone. You pick it up. "Hey, Y/N! It's me, Jihyun..Seojun was lying about working tonight! He was actually surprising me and brought a bouquet of roses!! He reserved seats for a restaurant nearby, too! It sure was a surprise. So... I'm really sorry but I won't be able to make it."
You cringe, and lose all hope. "It's okay, Hobi and I will have a fun time together.."
Jihyun replies, "I'm so sorry, I'll treat you both next time, I swear!"
You reply, "Don't worry about it, have a nice time!" You quickly end.
'All these preparations for nothing.. they both betrayed me...' You sigh in defeat. "If I knew this would happen, I would've gone to the party...."
You pause.
"Wait that's right! I can go to the party now!!" You quickly get up. You think about it for a second. "No, maybe I shouldn't... I'd look.. pathetic."
.....
>>JIN'S POV<<
I push the chairs in, as I pick up the dishes.
Kisang speaks up from behind us. "Well, gotta get going to the party. You both can take care of the rest, right?" He says, packing up everything."
"Yup." Me and my helper, John, respond.
"This shouldn't be too much trouble. This is the busiest I've seen this place since I started here, though." John says.
"This restaurant was rated very highly." A guest speaks up from the front door.
A familiar girl voice replies. "A japanese dinner? You're so thoughtful, Seojun! So cool!"
I look up and widen my eyes as I see Jihyun with her boyfriend.
"Jihyun is that you?!" I yell and quickly run up to her. "Weren't you going to have a party with Y/N?"
She replies. "Sorry, Jin. My boyfriend suddenly offered to take me out." She says, snuggling up to him.
Seojun reaches out for Jin's hand. "Hi, my name is-"
I quickly slap his hand away, "Is Y/N all by herself?" I ask.
"No, she's with Hobi. They're probably partying their heads off right now, haha."
Jin pauses in relief. "I see."
I make my way to the backroom and dial the phone. "Hey, Hob—" I hear a clang from the other side, scaring my balls off.
"Ow! What was that, Hobi?" I say back.
Hobi replies from the other side. "I'm helping Yoongi with one of his songs!"
"What?!" I yell, and then get quiet. "Aren't you partying with Y/N?"
He replies. "Well, Hobi had to stay due to a blizzard, so.. Y/N should be partying with Jihyun right now."
I sigh. "I see. Fine, just have fun, and Merry Christmas." I end the call.
>>JUNGKOOK'S POV<<
I walk across the street as I hear a familiar voice singing in the street. I turn around and see a guy playing guitar, and Y/N's friend cheering him on. I stare for a few seconds as I remember mom's words.
'But if it were your girlfriends, I bet they'd be quick to betray you. I mean it's Christmas Eve, after all.'
I trail off to my thoughts.
>>Y/N'S POV<<
"Christmas with Jungkook...." You sadly daydream to yourself.
You stare at the TV, eating chips alone in silence. Your stomach growls, begging for food. You put the leftover chips on the table and head to the kitchen.
'Hobi and Jihyun were supposed to bring the cake and chicken...'
You think and sigh as you look for food in every pantry. "Ramen? This will have to do." You quickly make it and head back to the couch. You watch a joke comesy TV show that is currently playing as you slurp your ramen. You watch the TV, and an alert pops up.
"Be careful! There is 2 loose criminals in the city, and we haven't been able to get ahold of them yet. One of them recently robbed a jewelry store, and the other recently robbed a—" You turn off the TV quickly as you hear rustling from near the stairs. You ignore it, but quickly after that, you can loudly hear the doorknob twist from the front door. You turn your head quickly and start walking closer to the front door.
'What the??'
You see a figure from the glass on top of the door, and it seems to be a really tall, slim, masked figure. You gasp and quickly hide behind a wall. You suddenly remember the news from the TV.
'Be careful, There is 2 loose criminals in the city.'
You watch the person outside picking and pushing open the lock. You can't see that clearly since it's dark.
'Jungkook's family is rich.. They must be wanting to steal from here..'
The door rustles even louder from each second that passes by. They weren't knocking, they were opening it themselves. The lockpick turns, indicating that the door is open. You start freaking out and quickly look around for any nearby weapons. The door opens quickly, and you manage to find a tennis racket on the hanging racket. You quickly grab it and hold it up for defense. The footsteps get closer and closer, each slow step of theirs getting more dramatic. They are about to see you as you quickly start hitting them with the net, as the figure doesn't even budge.
"Burglar! Burglar! Take that! Take that!" You continue hitting the figure as you hear them speak in a familiar voice.
"What exactly are you doing..?" The tall figure looks down at you, not even affected a tiny bit by what you did. He holds his head.
"JUNGKOOK!" You yell in surprise.
—————————————
"S-sorry! Are you alright?" You quickly say, and cringe.
He fixes up his tie on his suit without looking at you.
'He looks so great...'
You hold back a laughter as the silence is just very awkward. You quickly burst out laughing, unable to hold it in any longer. Jungkook slowly turns his head to your direction.
"What?" He blandly says.
"Oh nothing, just.. You're all dressed up, but you got your head hit by a tennis racket.. in your own house.. and—" He cuts you off.
"You're the one who did it." He said coldly, but has a small pout on his lips.
"Sorry.. hehe~" You chant, your mood getting lifted little by little.
You take him to the couch, and get him an ice pack. You give it to him.
"Sorry, Jungkook. I heard the lock rattling from outside, and I thought it was a thief or something.." You fiddle with your fingers.
He replies, "I tried to use my apartment key by mistake, and wondered why it wasn't working. Then, you 'beat me up' with that fool strength of yours."
You bow down lightly, "I'm sorry~~"
You sit down next to him, keeping your space.
"Anyway, what about your dad's company party? You didn't go?"
He puts the ice pack on the coffee table. "I did, but I left earlier. I got bored having to greet important geezers who do business with the company. Dad must be furious with me right now... but what about you? Weren't you supposed to have a party with your friends?"
You giggle nervously. "Haha... well about that... they suddenly made plans with their boyfriends..." You rub the back of your neck nervously.
Jungkook crosses his arms and leans back on the couch. "I see. Quite the passionate friendship you all have there."
"Please don't say that.." You giggle. You suddenly smell something good. "What's that smell?"
Jungkook leans over and grabs a bag on the floor. "You mean this?" He puts it on the coffee table and opens it. It's a bucket of chicken.
You gasp. "You brought chicken?! Did you bring it for me?!" You get excited.
"Of course not, I'm hungry. You can't eat much at those social parties."
Out of the blue, as if on queue, your stomach growls. REALLY LOUDLY. Jungkook turns his head to you slowly and you both look at each other as you smile back awkwardly.
"Haha—All I had to eat was instant ramen—" You laugh.
>>JIN'S POV<<
"Finally finished? Guess we can go home now." John says.
"Actually, sir, there's something I want to do. Could I stay here a bit longer?" I say to John.
"Of course, take your time." He replies.
"Thank you very much." I reply. I head to the bathroom and put some leftover food in two plates, neating it up nice and tidy. The words on the plate would spell out 'Merry Christmas, Y/N.'
>>Y/N'S POV<<
You dig in the chicken that Jungkook put on the table. It tastes so good. You eat it in delight, and look over at Jungkook.
'I'm having dinner alone with Jungkook on Christmas Eve...'
"Right!" You quickly get up and dim the lights. The decorations you put up all light around the room, making the room well light and very pretty.
You sit back down on the couch and turn on the TV, as it plays a christmas song. "I got this all ready for when Hobi and Jihyun cane over." You legs shake with excitement as you admire Jungkook. "It feels like Christmas now, does it?"
Jungkook sips some beer from his exquisite glass. "Does it?"
You lean back on the couch. "This might be the first time I've ever done anything like this..."
Jungkook looks at you, and you smile lightly as you continue speaking. "You know, my mother passed away when I was little. My fathers always busy at work until late night every Christmas. Sure I've had parties with friends and stuff, but I've never had the kind of Christmas-like Christmas you spend with family..."
Jungkook looks to the ground.
'Even if it was by coincidence, I get to spend my first Christmas-like Christmas with Jungkook, just the two of us.. It's like a dream.. I think this is the best Christmas present I've ever had...' You smile to yourself.
"I'm going to buy a cake! I mean, here we are, enjoying the Christmas mood. It'd be a waste to not have cake, too. The convenience store should still have some. So I'll—!" Jungkook cuts you off.
"We have one."
"What?" You reply.
"A cake." He says.
You stare at him in disbelief. He points to the other room, and you walk to a table with a gift wrapping on it. "NO WAY! Amazing! But why? How? How? How?? Is this a present from Santa??"
Jungkook walks up to you. "Of course not."
"Then... you brought it?" You look up at him.
"Who else is here?" He puts his hands in his pockets.
You hold the gift wrapping. "Don't tell me.. you thought of me here at home, so you really brought this cake for me?!" You smile brightly.
He grabs the gift wrapping from your hands. "You're really self-centered, you know that? A kid at work begged me. He said he couldn't go home until he sold the last one." He walks back to the couch.
You giggle to yourself. You grab a lighhter and light up two candles for the cake.
"Now let's make a wish!" You say happily.
"That's for birthdays.." Jungkook states.
"Huh? Is it? Right.." You giggle as you and Jungkook look at the cake.
"Jungkook, thank you."
"I didn't get it for you."
"But this cake is just big enough for two people." You look at the size.
"It's a coincidence." He quickly states.
"I'll give this santa to you." You point at the santa figures on the cake.
"Whatever." He replies.
>>JIN'S POV<<
"This is the last santa costume? Thank you!" I bow to the shop lady.
I quickly jog with pastries on my hand. "Giving this to Y/N! Giving this to Y/N!"
I finally arrive to Y/N's house, and go to the front door. "Nah, I should surprise her." I say out loud. I quickly head towards the window and look around inside. My eyes dart over the place until I finally see,
Y/N, Jungkook, and a cake.
>>3RD PERSON POV<<
"Hey, let's make a wish anyway." Y/N states as she sits in front of the cake.
Jungkook puts his palm on his cheek.
"You make one, then." He says.
"Are you sure?" Y/N replies.
Jungkook nods in response.
Y/N lets out a big smile. She puts her hands together and closes her eyes. Jungkook looks at her silently as she blows out the candles. As the lights dim, Jin walks away, with the pastries in his left hand.
