Kookie 🐰🍪:

You:
I don't have any
gifts under my
tree

Kookie 🐰🍪:
Ya sure?

You sit up straight in your bed, Taehyung pulling you closer to him while groaning. You want to just lay back down and go back to sleep, but Jungkook makes your mind wander.

You:
What?

Kookie 🐰🍪:
(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) hehehehe

You slip from Taehyung's hold and rush into the living room. You stop dead in your tracks as you notice wrapped presents piled under your tree. You gasp, covering your mouth.

You:
KOOKIE YOU DIDN'T
😫🤧

Kookie 🐰🍪:
Merry Christmas,

You:

Kookie 🐰🍪:

thing under ur
tree lol. Thank

You hear Taehyung groan, his feet padding against the floor as he makes his way into the tree-lit living room. He's rubbing his eyes as he comes into view. "Mmm, you okay babe?"

He looks at the tree, closes his eyes, then opens them wide. "Oh shit."

"I know, right!" You giggle, clinging to his side. "Kookie brought these in the middle of the night. Truly a Santa."

"You have a great maknae." He yawns, walking you both over to the tree. "Seeing as we're up, get to opening gifts. I'll help."

You nod as you both sit and you grab the first gift. Looking at it, you smile widely as you pass it to Taehyung to open. "Here."

He takes it, eyes widening in surprise. "This one is for me?"

You nod excitedly. "Sure is. He loves his Hyung."

"I don't know what to say."

As if on cue, you get a video call from Jungkook. You answer to see a smiling bunny. "Merry Christmas, noona!"

"Merry Christmas, Kookie!"
You turn the camera to Taehyung and he smiles, waving.

Jungkook gasps on the other end. "Hyung! Merry Christmas! Did you get your gifts?"

"Gifts?" You both say in unison. "You got me more than one, JK?"

"Of course. It's Christmas! I wanna see you both open your gifts."

With that being said, you prop your phone on the coffee table and position it. Taehyung opens the gift in his hand first as you reach for one with your name on it.

Taehyung squeals like a little ass kid when he gets the gift unwrapped. "You got me Overwatch!? You're the best."

"Oh my gosh." You roll your eyes, laughing.

"I remember you telling me you hadn't gotten it yet. So I got it for you." Jungkook smiles. "Open yours, noona."

"Okay." You open yours to find a perfume set from Dior that hasn't even been released yet. "You got this already!? It isn't out!"

"Connections, sis. Okay, my turn!" He says, pulling out one of the gifts you got him. He opens it to find 2 brand new game system controllers, custom made with his initials and graphics. "Oh shit! Noona, these are amazing!"

"I did one and Taehyung did the other."

"You too, Hyung!? You're the best! Thank you both so much. I love them."

You all stayed up, opening gifts and talking until the sun came up. You and Taehyung exchange gifts you guy each other, falling in love with the Pandora charm bracelet be wraps around your wrist. You let Jungkook go to sleep, seeing how drowsy he was getting. Your brother isn't here with you physically, but having him on the screen with you is just as special to you.

Taehyung gets all the wrapping paper and throws it away as you organize all the gifts Jungkook surprised you both with. You both sit on the couch, sighing in contentment as you lay into him with his arm around you. He places a finger under your chin and you look up at him. He places a lingering kiss to your lips and you smile.

This is your first Christmas together, and you wouldn't have it another way. Christmas is about giving, a time to spend with the ones you love, a time to recounter your blessing this year, and celebrate the birth of Christ. (A/N: if you are non religious or have a different belief, you may ignore 😊)

You have so much this year to be thankful for. You graduated. You have a new career. Your brother is better than ever. Your best friend is engaged. You have Taehyung.

Kim Taehyung.

"Baby?" You say breathless, looking at him.

"Hmm?" He hums, one eye open peaking at you.

"Remember how we met?"

He smiles that beautiful boxy smile you've loved since first seeing it. "I do. I saw you from where I was sitting at the bar and paid for your drinks. Jimin was bartending."

--

"You see that girl right there?" A man points at you, and asks the bartender.

The bartender nods, raising a questioning eyebrow. "Yeah, she's been getting drinks tonight. I think she may be done. Why?"

"Okay." The man pulls out a bill from his pocket. "I'm paying for her tab. Keep the change."

The bartender thanks the man, smiling as he takes the money. The man continues to watch you, admiring how you're dodging every drunk asshole trying to get to you. He smiles, but that slowly fades when he sees a guy getting too touchy.

You've been trying to get rid of this guy all night. You finally snap around, your small frame sizing him up. You've had enough. "Look, I'm trying to enjoy myself. You need to back the hell up."

He smirks, sipping on his beer with his breath reeking of that and stale cigarettes. "Come on, baby. You've been dissing me all night."

"And for good reason." You try walking around him, but he blocks you.

"Just rub up against my dick one good time, and I'll back off."

You mentally vomit, showing it in your face. "Eww, no you perv. Excuse me." You continue trying to move around the drunk man, but he suddenly grabs your wrist, too hard at that. "What the fuck, let me go!"

"Listen, I just wanna dance. Stop being a bitch and be a good little slut. Okay?" He growls and you genuinely feel scared.

"Hey babe. What's the problem here?" A man with a very deep and sexy voice comes up behind you, pulling you close to his side. The drunk asshole lets your wrist go, and you rub it with your free hand. "Aye man. Do we have a problem?"

The man puts his hands up in surrender. "Nah, we're good. Sorry."

The man snakes his arm around your waist and you just stand there frozen. He begins to speak again. "Good. Because if you ever put your hands on her again, I'll break them myself."

The drunk man leaves without another word, and the man who just helped you breathes out a sigh. You're so grateful for this man helping you out of that awful situation. He comes around in front of you, and you look up at him. His bright, pink and, maybe a little blonde hair is slightly parted in the middle and it's kind of like... a mullet? His eyes are soft, but sharp and he has definitely captured yours in his gaze. His lips turn into a small smile as he lightly grabs your wrist to inspect it himself.

"Sorry I took so long. There's a lot of people in here. You okay?"

--

"That guy was truly a dick. I really do appreciate you for getting me out of that situation, V." You giggle.

He chuckles, kissing your temple. "It really was my pleasure. Thank you for not thinking I was a creep when I brought you home. I just wanted you safe."

--

"Do you need a ride home?" He asks. Do you want a stranger to take you home?

"Yeah. I just live up the street, but I still don't need to be walking home alone. Intoxicated or not." You stumble on your words a little and mentally slap yourself.

"Great. You ready now?" His voice really is something. It's so deep and smooth.

"Yeah, we can go." You lead the way through the crowd to leave the club. Was it a smart idea to leave the club with a stranger? No. Was it a smart idea to agree to have the stranger take you home? Hell no. But there was something about this stranger. He helped you out in the club when he didn't have to do anything. Hell, he even paid for your drinks. He isn't like other guys in the club, and you can see that, even through your beer goggles.

When you reach his car, he opens the door for you and you slide in, thanking him. He gets in on his side, starts his car, and pulls out from the parking lot. You give him your address and he finds your place with ease. It was literally a two-minute drive. Stopping in front of your apartment building, he gets out of his car, comes back over to your side, and opens the door. He's such a gentlemen. What the hell was someone like him doing at a club?

The stranger walks you to your door, and you thank him. Not knowing what to do, you extend your hand to shake. He gently grabs yours, pulling it up to his lips and softly pressing a kiss to the back of it. "You have a good night,-"

"Y/n." You tell him.

"Y/n." You shudder at the way your name easily rolls off of his tongue in that deep, soothing voice you've began to like. "Sleep well."

"Thank you so much, um?" You start, still not knowing his name.

He chuckles, then licks his lips. He speaks, his voice low and deep. His lips still near your hand, he gently plants another kiss to it. "You can just call me V."

--

"Who would've thought that my best friend and your best friend would set us up on a blind date after." You recall.

--

You see 2 males standing outside the theater doors, talking and the older one laughs. The closer you get, the better you can see the men.

"Joon!" Venus yells, waving as both men turn around.

Your eyes widen as you get closer to them. You see Namjoon smiling at you, then his eyes never leaving Venus. The other man returns your shocked expression. You know this man, and he knows you. The closer you get, the events of last night started rolling in and you remember.

...

"Okay!" Venus snaps you back into reality, but your eyes never leave the man and his eyes never leave you.

Namjoon and Venus notice, but they shrug it off momentarily as they cling to each other's side.

"Should I introduce them?" Venus chuckles and Namjoon joins.

"I mean, you can. But I don't think it's necessary."

They both watch your interaction, fascinated about what's next to come.

You break the ice, shyly smiling, extending your hand to the man that you now remember. "It's nice to see you again, V."

He smiles back, taking your small hand into his large one, kissing the back of it gently like he did the night before. "I didn't think I would see you this soon, Y/n."

--

You both laugh, snuggled up on the couch as you both enjoy the sounds of each other, going over memories you've had of each other since you first met back in May.

"Did you think we'd be together, even though we meet in the club under... Interesting circumstances?" Taehyung asks, drawing imaginary circles on the exposed skin near your hips, goosebumps rising in his trail.

"Never in a million years, TBH."

"Did you really just use an abbreviation?" He laughs, shaking his head.

"Oh come on! I caught you saying 'lol' to yourself last week."

"That was only once-"

"More than enough, Tae." You giggle.

"Remember our first kiss?" He brings up, placing a small peck to your lips.

You smile, nodding sweetly. "I could never forget. We became official all in the same 5 minutes."

--

"Let's end the 2 truths and a lie game, yeah?" He brings your hand to his mouth, laying a gentle kiss to back of it and your stomach is about to explode with the amount of butterflies trapped inside.

"O-okay."

"So," he starts. "You're so beautiful to me, I think about you every day, and I want you to be my girlfriend."

Your eyes widen, glossing over. For a man who isn't great and expressing his feelings, he's smooth as hell at sliding them in nonchalantly.

"Is the second one a lie?" You ask shyly. He shakes his head. "Okay, the last one?"

He shakes his head proudly. "There isn't a single lie in there. You are beautiful, I do think about you every day, and I, um." He looks down, a shy blush slowly creeping to his cheeks. "I would really like it if you, you know. If you were my girlfriend. But only if you want to be. No pressure."

You watch him as he goes on a tangant. This man really just asked you to be his girlfriend. And you can't believe your ears. You're speechless as he continues, not noticing your reaction. You want to say yes. You wanna say hell fuck yes. But your brain isn't producing words at this point.

"I know I sprung this on you quickly. I just didn't know how to like, not be blunt about it. You can tell me no, I'll understand-"

Actions speak louder than words...

You don't hesitate to press your lips against his. It's truly like a movie and you feel sparks fly when his lips begin to move in sync with yours. His lips are soft against yours, power behind them but gentle for you. He brings his hands to cup your face and you smile in the kiss, feeling his smile underneath. Your cheeks are on fire, your lips are on fire, you're on fire.

You don't want to break your first kiss with him, but you do need to breathe. Slowly pulling away, you look at him with doe eyes.

... but your words help shape your actions.

"Yes, Tae. I'd love to be your girlfriend."

--

"Highlight of my year." He smiles.

"For someone who is awful at 'expressing their feelings', you did a hell of a job sliding that in there."

"I'm smooth like a snake." He shrugs.

You roll your eyes. "You're hanging around Jimin too much."

He chuckles, shaking his head. "Here's to almost next year, baby."

"Here here!" You giggle, attacking him with kisses as he laughs, holding you tight.
