"just put all the gifts you brought under the tree." yuna instructs, walking down the hallway towards her bedroom.

"what tree?" wooyoung questions, not bothering to look around the room.

"the one right fucking in front of you!" seonghwa slaps the younger male upside the head, turning his attention toward the very obvious christmas tree in the back corner of the living room.

wooyoung chuckles briefly before his smile drops upon seeing seonghwa's scowl. "sorry." he mumbles.

meanwhile, yuna is cackling to herself as she wanders down the hallway, mumbling a quiet, 'seonghwa said fuck'.

a few minutes later, yuna returns in a fresh set of christmas pyjamas, tying her hair into a bun. "the mattress is out and there's plenty of blankets and pillows. if you want to, we can watch a movie. there's actually a christmas one that i've been wanting to watch." she almost grumbles, sitting herself on the lounge beside wooyoung who immediately takes the chance to cuddle into her side.

"okay, let's watch a movie!" hongjoong perks up, a wide smile on his lips.

the boys loved watching movies at yuna's apartment - at this point it's almost like their 'thing', gathering around in her living room, spread across the lounges and mattress, cuddled into each other, and watching whatever looked interesting. it was quickly becoming something like a tradition and it was a tradition that each of them loved for a different reason.

"so, what did you want to watch?" yunho asks, laying on the mattress. he's immediately wrapped in san's limbs as the younger male cuddles into the taller.

"'love actually'!" yuna exclaims, clasping her hands happily.

"but, that's a romcom." seonghwa looks at her in confusion as she simply grins back at him.

"you despise romcoms." she nods at yeosang as he frowns at her.

"i know! i just thought it'd be fun to watch, no?" she looks around the room, eyes sparkling with hope as the boys glance at each other.

"love, are you feeling okay?" hongjoong jokes, gently pressing his hand to her forehead which he finds oddly warm.

"i'm fine, really. i just thought it'd be fun. if you don't want to, we don't have to," doubt starts to replace the hopeful sparkle in her eyes as she looks around the room, "it was just a thought." she finishes with a mumble.

"no, we can watch it. we're just joking with you." mingi chuckles, her eyes lighting up once more.

"i knew that!" he laughs as she pouts at him, slapping his shoulder gently, "what do you take me for? an idiot?"

the boys laugh quietly at her as she lands a soft punch to mingi's arm, poking her tongue out at him a moment later.

the movies plays, quiet chuckles and a few whole-hearted laughs escaping the viewers' throats as they watch.

to no one's surprise, hongjoong falls asleep before the movie ends, jongho and san following soon after him. wooyoung keeps yuna wrapped in his arms until he eventually drifts into slumber, his tight hold falling limp as he begins to snore. yeosang and yunho join them just before the end, seonghwa and mingi desperate to stay awake until the movie had finished.

once the credits begin to roll over the screen, seonghwa wishes the couple a good night before his head falls to his pillow, quiet snores escaping his lips soon after.

"was it good?" mingi asks, tilting his head to look up at the younger female.

she nods with a smile, her fingers carding through his hair gently, "yeah, it was actually pretty good. what did you think?"

"i thought it was nice." he smiles up at her and she returns the expression, leaning down to kiss his nose, "i thought that was nice too."

"oh, did you?" yuna chuckles, kissing his nose once more. she then presses a kiss to his lips, lingering there for a moment before they both pull away, grinning like they were crazy.

"you tired?" mingi asks, his voice now deep and rumbly as he tries to keep quiet.

"yes but also not really," the girl admits, "are you?"

"no. what should we do?"

"let's go to my room, we don't have to whisper in there." yuna giggles as mingi stands and helps her carefully peel wooyoung off of her lower half, and then guides her over his members sleeping on the floor.

...

the next morning, yuna wakes to the sound of wooyoung screaming and a large amount of chaos in the living room.

"oh my god! i lost her!" wooyoung wails, "i squashed her! i- she's gone! she's gone!"

"she isn't gone, she's- oh my god, she's gone!" yunho cries next.

"oh, would you shut up? she's probably in the bathroom. bro probably had to pee." yuna giggles at san's use of 'bro', picturing his relaxed state which probably had yunho and wooyoung fuming.

"san's right. she's probably in the bathroom." yuna hears yeosang's voice next.

the toilet then flushes down the hallway, quiet footsteps patting along the wooden floors.

"here she comes now!" san exclaims, "good morning, sunsh- ah, shit! you're not yuna!"

"no? i'm not." yuna giggles at seonghwa's confused tone.

"what're you laughing at?" mingi grumbles, looking at the girl who was half trapped under him.

she shushes him quickly, listening for the next cry of concern, "just listen to them." she whispers.

"oh my god! she really is gone! mingi too, oh no! mingi! my poor mingi!" wooyoung wails. yuna can practically see him thrashing around dramatically, knowing he'd done exactly that when hongjoong cries out in pain.

"shut up! they went into her room last night! they're both perfectly fine!" jongho yells.

yunho gasps and yuna knows exactly what he's thinking. in the next few seconds, the sound of thumping footsteps get louder as they approach her room. then, not a moment later, her bedroom door is swinging open and yunho is there, pointing at the two accusingly.

"sex!" is all he says as the two manage to say it at the exact same time.

"no, yunho. no sex. we actually played uno for a very long time last night and then fell asleep," yuna explains, sitting up. she then reaches into her hoodie, pulling a folded uno card out from god knows where, "apparently we fell asleep in the cards," she sighs, "looks like i'll need to buy a new deck."

"well," mingi starts, sitting up and stretching his arms out, "now that we're aware that everyone is alive, safe and yet to lose their virginities, shall we open presents?"

yuna slaps his arm gently, the male gasping in feigned pain as she crawls over his legs to get out of bed,
immediately walking over to her brother and pulling him into a tight embrace.

"merry christmas, you big bitch." she mumbles into his chest as he chuckles.

"merry christmas, loser."

she pulls away to find jongho, who'd turned up at her bedroom door at some point. "merry christmas, jjongi!" she squeals, wrapping her arms around his shoulders, her feet lifting off of the ground slightly.

"merry christmas, yuna." he mumbles, kissing her temple softly.

he lets her down, gently touching her arm as he turns to make his way back to the living room. yuna begins to follow, only to be pulled back by a pair of strong arms behind her.

"merry christmas, beautiful." she giggles as mingi buries his face in her neck, taking a deep breath of her perfume.

she turns to face him, gently cupping his face in her hands, "merry christmas, princess." she whispers back, kissing his lips quickly before grabbing his hand and dragging him out to the rest of the group.

upon walking in to the living room, she finds the idols groggily sitting up, mumbling complaints, pushing and shoving each other. however, the moment they realise she is in the hallway, her smile alone is enough to wake them up, their moods increasing tenfold at the sight.

"merry christmas, bitch!" wooyoung yells, standing up and tackling yuna. they would've ended up in a pained heap on the floor had it not been for mingi who quickly steadied the girl in front of him.

"merry christmas, bitch!"

both seonghwa and hongjoong calmly make their way over, seonghwa hugging the girl first, "merry christmas, bub." he mumbles, kissing the top of her head. she grins at him as he steps away, hongjoong ready for his hug.

"merry christmas, love." he says, patting her head as she jumps slightly under his chin.

yeosang makes his way over, wrapping his arms around her shoulders, "merry christmas, bestie."

"slay! merry christmas, bestie." he chuckles at her choice of words, pushing her off of him as she laughs.

last but not least, san shuffles over tiredly, letting his arms hang over her shoulders and his chin rest on her head, "merry christmas, gorgeous."

"let's open some presents, shall we?" yunho pipes up, already looking through the rather large pile of gifts under the tree.

he starts with his own pile, handing each of his members and his sister their gifts. he watches quietly as they open the gifts, receiving many hugs. yuna finally opens hers, her brother's gaze carefully trained on her face, worried that he'd gotten something she wouldn't want or that she already had.

she gasps, pulling a small glass bottle out of the box, "are you kidding me? do you have any idea how long i've been looking for this perfume? oh my goodness, thank you so much!" she practically jumps on him, her brother laughing happily at her reaction.

"i'm glad you like it, i hoped you would."

they work their way through the piles, spending about an hour and a half opening presents and debating who's was better. of course, wooyoung, san and yeosang made complaints about seonghwa's gift to yuna, the opportunity to tease him too good to pass by.

yuna's gifts are the last to be handed out, the girl nervously bouncing her leg as each of the men open their presents.

she takes a deep breath before she speaks, "i wasn't, um..." she hesitates. mingi rests a reassuring hand on her knee as everyone stops unwrapping their gifts, giving her their full attention. "i wasn't sure what to get you all. i mean, if you hadn't have done what you have for me, it would've been easier. but you've done so much and i really wanted these gifts to show how much i appreciate you all but i don't know if they do."

she takes a shaky breath in before she continues, "this sounds corny as all hell but, all i really want this christmas is for all of you to know how grateful i am for you all. not just the things you do but just the things that you are. you're all extremely important to me and i just really, really want you to know that because i feel like i don't tell you enough and i've never fully expressed how much you actually mean to me. so, thank you."

she looks around the room, expecting someone to say something, only to find most of the boys either fighting back tears or, in seonghwa's case, letting them fall freely.

"wha- why are you all crying? did i say something wrong?" she asks, looking around with a worried expression.

"you didn't say anything wrong, love." hongjoong sniffs, offering her a warm smile, "everything you said was perfectly fine. we know you're grateful and we know you appreciate us but, you don't usually say it out loud."

"it just hits different when you actually say it to our faces," wooyoung lets out a quiet sob, "why the fuck would you say it to our faces? bitch." he mutters, turning to san for comfort.

"i'm sorry, i didn't mean to upset you all." her own eyes begin to well up, honestly believing she'd ruined christmas.

"we're not upset, bub. we're happy. over the moon. in another fucking galaxy." seonghwa whispers, comforting the younger members and trying to stop their tears.

she lets out a choked laugh, relieved to hear they were happy, "seonghwa said fuck."

mingi smiles, pulling her into a tight hold as she wipes her eyes. "okay, enough being mushy and gross!" she announces, clapping her hands once, "open your presents."

the rest of the day rolls on relatively quickly. they spend the day playing games, baking, dancing, singing, having fun. the boys stayed with yuna on christmas night, watching some more random movies and eating whatever takeout was open on christmas.

i think it's safe to say, christmas was a big success...
