AFTER SCENE: Christmas
"Why does shopping for them have to be this hard?" Taehyung huffed, looking at the array of mini shops within the giant mall.
Jimin and Taehyung had been shopping for over an hour and all they needed was to get the Jeon Twins something but that was harder than originally thought.
"Maybe just get them shirts that say 'Dumb and Dumber'. They'll be thankful." Jimin commented, holding bags in his hand for his new boyfriend, Leehyun. They settled on getting one gift only but Jimin wasn't going to listen to that when he could spoil his baby.
Taehyung was happy the two ended up together, it helped the Jeon Twins not worry so much and just everyone was happy.
"I did that for their birthday, I don't think they want more shirts with that on it." Taehyung sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.
"What about if it were on hats?" Jimin suggested. This caused Taehyung to look over, a bored look plastered over his beautiful face. "Sorry." Jimin said but he wasn't sorry at all, snickering a bit.
Taehyung looked at the shoes but there was nothing he thought the twins would like in there. He looked at clothes too and yet nothing screamed that it was for them. He felt like a terrible boyfriend for not having a single gift picked out and Christmas was in four days. At this point, he was ready to settle on leashes and call the boys his bitches but something told him that wouldn't go down as planned.
"Well, what's something they talked about? Something they mentioned that they enjoyed or liked?" Jimin was trying to help as best he could, especially since he was Jungkook's best friend as well. He wasn't even going to try for Jeongguk but that's where Yoongi could help out.
Taehyung hummed in thought. "Jeongguk likes football but I don't know the first thing about the sport. All I know is his favorite football team is the Carolina Panthers since our school's team is called the Panthers."
"Get him a Panthers jersey."
"With who's name?" Taehyung asked.
"Can you customize his name on it?" Jimin wondered. "Give him hope that he can play for that team when he grows up or something?"
"Maybe. Sounds like a good idea and maybe he'll like it." Taehyung smiled, feeling like it was a good idea.
"Yeah! And not only that, he'll like you wearing it the morning after!" Jimin muttered with a tease in his voice, obviously hinting at something.
Taehyung's cheeks went bright red, hitting his shorter friend's arm. "Don't say things like that." He commented, shaking his head with embarrassment.
The two dropped the conversation and headed to the sport shop together, talking to the store clerk to see how the customization worked to get 'Jeon' put on the back of a jersey.
Luckily for them, they were able to get it done. On the other hand, it was extremely expensive and they would have to come back tomorrow to pick it up. It was a special order and definitely a few days before Christmas. The total cost was one-hundred sixty-two dollars.
But it was worth it.
"Now for Jungkook." Taehyung said. "I'll buy them more but little things. I can't spend over a hundred dollars on each item I get for them." He added, looking over his receipt that made his pockets ache. "So, one big thing and then bunch of little things!"
"You should just buy lingerie and wear that for them. Trust me, those horn dogs would love that more than anything, as long as you send me some pictures too so I can gas you up." Jimin grinned, making Taehyung just give up hope on asking Jimin for ideas.
"I was thinking on buying him a camera and giving him a gift card for the Apple Store so he can get this animation app he likes. He's really been into recently and created a whole hobby around it." Taehyung informed.
"Cameras are expensive though." Commented Jimin. "You thought Jeongguk's gift was expensive, an okay camera is two to three hundred dollars." He let out a whistle, shaking his head.
"I can buy just a nice little hand-held camera, one that takes good quality pictures. Even if it hits the two-hundred mark, it's okay, as long as he likes it." Taehyung grinned, wanting to provide nice things for both his boyfriends.
"I'm just saying, you really shouldn't go all the way out. I get you want to spoil them — though they're spoiled already — you can't just throw all your money away on them. They're birthday just passed and you spent so much then." Jimin uttered, walking beside Taehyung who seemed to not really be listening to what he had to say.
"Yeah, yeah," the younger nodded, looking for an electronic shop or something to do with decent cameras. Maybe he could ask his mom and the Jeon Twins' mom for help.
The lady still wasn't too fond of him but she's been doing better and could hold pretty good conversations with the boy. Something that helped was seeing how absolutely starstruck her boys were, how happy and in love they were with Taehyung. It made her like Taehyung just a bit more.
So maybe she would be willing to help pay the expenses, give twenty bucks just to help Taehyung out. Maybe. That wasn't a promised idea.
"How much money do you have? And where are you getting it from?" Jimin asked, looking at Taehyung who hummed in thought.
"I tutor people, help with sign language too."
"Aren't you bad at sign language?" Jimin cocked a brow, remembering Taehyung used sign language to communicate with his deaf father.
"Yeah but I'm better at it. I can teach basics and whatnot which is enough to teach a class." He shrugged. "It pays, it's whatever." He shook his head. "And I sell my homework for money. I get good bread off of that."
"Do me and you both a favor and don't ever use 'bread' again. Leave that to Jungkook and his crackhead ass." Jimin shook his head, keeping his eyes forward. "Like the Jeon Twins, always have money but I've never seen them work a day in their life."
"It's kind of just every fanfic, don't need to go that much into detail about something that has nothing to do with the plot." Taehyung said. "Ooh! What about stopping at Best Buy? Do they have nice cameras?"
"Most likely." The shorter teen heard the excitement radiating in Taehyung's voice, knowing how excited he was to have thought of an idea. The twins would love whatever Taehyung got them.
He could've taken a rock and wrapped it fifty times and they would appreciate the effort and time he put into wrapping it, somehow also admiring the rock.
They were so intoxicated with love for Taehyung.
***
Christmas Day came sooner than later and everything was wrapped and stacked in Taehyung's room. The first half of the day was spent with family while the second half was spent at Seokjin's house to give each other gifts.
Now, currently, Taehyung was at the Jeon Twins' house, his gifts in the car. He wanted to pretend that all he got the boys was small things like clothes and socks and small accessories.
To his surprise (but not really), both boys were pleased with what they received, thinking it was all very nice and thoughtful of Taehyung.
They got Taehyung a self-care basket that including bubbles for baths, lotions, face masks, soaps, moisturizers, lip kits, a robe and fluffy socks. They also included a much smaller basket for Yeontan, putting treats and toys for the small puppy to enjoy.
"How does it look?" Jeongguk was trying on Taehyung's robe, having a drying mask on his face and hair pinned back. Taehyung wanted to give his boyfriends' facials and make them 'pretty'.
"Like the prettiest princess in the land!" Taehyung giggled, putting some curlers into Jungkook's hair who gasped. "What about me?!" He snapped his head back. He had a a nose peel with a hair mask on to help dry his hair in curls. He didn't have curly hair but Taehyung wanted to see what it would look like if he curled.
"You're the other pretty princess!"
"Not fair! Gguk got prettiest princess in the land and I was just called pretty." Jungkook crossed his arms over his chest with a clear pout over his thin lips.
Taehyung giggled and tilted Jungkook's head back, placing a gentle kiss on his soft lips. "You both can be pretty princesses." He whispered on his lips before he slowly pulled back.
Jeongguk just stood there, a blank look over his face. "Anyways, now that crybaby threw a tantrum, what's next in this pretty-people-making process?" He wondered, looking at himself in the mirror.
"We can try a lip-plumping kit." Taehyung spoke, looking through the basket to pull out the said kit. He began to open it, pulling out two of the five glosses. One was cherry and the other was strawberry.
He handed one out to each of them, seeing the boys look over it. Jungkook had gotten the darker color (cherry) while Jeongguk got the more pinky-color.
"What does plumping do?" Jeongguk was first to ask, opening the gloss and immediately putting it on his lips without hearing what it does, he just trusted the process.
"It makes your lips bigger." Taehyung said, seeing as Jungkook was just because something that makes your lips bigger by a thin layer of some substance. He just watched patiently.
"Bigger? How does it make it bigger?" Jeongguk inquired, smacking his lips together. "Kind of tingles." He added, not liking the sensation he was getting already. "Why does it burn?"
"Because it's going to make your lips bigger." Jungkook said, handing the gloss back to Taehyung and deciding he was skipping on this step of the process.
"Why didn't anyone tell me it was going to burn?" Jeongguk began to wipe his lips but he had rubbed it in, the burning not going away. "Fucking hell," he had his brows pulled in.
Jungkook and Taehyung was snickering, watching the other boy panic with burning lips.
"Taehyung, stop laughing before I suck your dick and make you burn!" He threatened, walking out of the bedroom to go scrub his lips.
Taehyung and Jungkook burst into laughter at that, laughing at the pain Jeongguk was feeling.
They giggled until finally calming down, recuperating themselves.
"Oh, wait! I forgot something in the car!" Taehyung pretended, standing up. "I'll be right back. You and Jeongguk stay here!" He grinned and left the bedroom, heading downstairs and out the front door. He got into the car, carefully grabbing both gifts before heading back inside.
His excitement was bubbling and he was so ready to deliver these last few gifts on Christmas Day. Taehyung thought he did good and the gifts would be loved, especially since the boys loved the mini gifts they received already.
Taehyung walked back inside, greeting Mrs. Jeon before skipping up the steps to see both of his boyfriends in Jeongguk's bedroom.
The older twin didn't like the lingering feeling but stopped bitching about it once he saw Taehyung holding two boxes.
"What's this?" Jungkook wondered, a brow cocked.
"Just one more gift for both of you!" Taehyung said. "I worked really hard on these two and wanted to gift you boys something I know you would like each!"
"Oh," Jeongguk frowned. "Taehyung, you didn't need to, really. We love what you gave us already." He stood up and walked over towards Taehyung, taking the boxes and setting them down so he could wrap his arms around his boyfriend.
"I know but I definitely wanted to get you guys something you would love! I think I did good!" Taehyung hugged Jeongguk before picking up the first box, handing it to Jungkook then the next to Jeongguk.
Jungkook was quick to dig in, wanting to see what was gotten for him. When his eyes landed on the box and he read it to himself, he gasped. "No way!" He smiled, quickly trying to find an opening.
Jeongguk didn't open his yet, letting his brother go before him. He just watched closely, seeing the big word, 'Camera' written on top of the box. He knew his brother had been asking for one for awhile and wanted a camera so this was amazing.
"Ggukie, it's your turn, open your gift." Taehyung said softly, nudging Jeongguk's side.
The boy agreed and went to sit down, beginning to unwrap his gift. It was in a box with no labels so he pulled the top off and took out the tissue paper.
His eyes landed on his surname printed on the backside of a blue and black jersey. It had the number '09' for his birth month.
Then, the logos on the sides was a panther, the American NFL football team.
His eyes went wide and his lips parted, placing soft touches on the jersey as he picked it up. It felt so real and had amazing quality, like an official jersey.
His jersey was still hanging up in his closet even though Taehyung broke their hearts. He didn't destroy it like he destroyed everything else Taehyung got for him. The jersey was the one thing he kept.
