"You....you...."

You can barely contain your excitement looking at your familiar lost bear, your eyes misty when you look up at Jungkook.

"Jungkook....thank you...."

Although the two of you aren't very close you give him a tight hug, his arms tenderly wrapping around you.

"How did you find him?"

"Ah...the hotel called me a couple days ago so I drove up there and picked it up....I was going to give it to you right away but since it was so close to Christmas I just wrapped him....you seemed really upset when you lost him."

"I was....this is my prized posession..."

"My prized posession is my face."

You all turn and chuckle at Jin as he looks in his new mirror Jimin bought him, Jungkook's eyes rolling back.

"Be careful Hyung, you'll lose that in your ego."

"Hey!"

You take your place beside Jimin again as he seems to be quiet beside you, his fingers tracing the tender material of the scarf.

"I'm going out, I'll be back later tonight Hyung."

"Alright but you better be home before Christmas Dinner!"

The younger nods and carries his new items up to his room as you look over at Jin in confusion.

"Christmas Dinner?"

"Yes! Every Christmas I make everyone a delicious feast fit for kings! I'll go ahead and make it today even though Christmas is actually in two days, you guys will want to eat light before your program."

Ah....the program...

I hope Jimin and I are ready...

"You know....I have to go grocery shopping for everything...wanna come with me Y/N-ah?"

"Really?"

He nods softly as you smile wide, your head turning to look at Jimin.

"Do you wanna come too?"

He looks at you hesitantly before shaking his head, his smile never reaching his eyes.

"Um....no...I think I'll pass this time...I kinda wanna stay here..."

Oh....

"Okay, Y/N-ah! I'll be ready soon!"

"Okay I'll go get changed..."

You tenderly pick up all of your things and carry them up to your room with a smile on your face, your heart filled with warmth.

This is such a good day...

I got Collen back....and I get to spend so much time with them...

If it wasn't for Jimin...I'd be living at a spa and eating crackers this Christmas....

Laying all your items on your bed, you decide to dress up a little since it's Christmas, so you slip on a white collared shirt, a pale pink sweater dress over it with your white shoes, your hair also done in two pretty braids.

Wahh....I never dress like this...

"Y/N-ah! I'm ready!"

"Coming!"

·················

Your chest swells lightly when Jimin's cheeks turn pink, his eyes set on your outfit.

"Um...we'll be back in a littke while.."

Jimin nods and pulls you into a soft hug, his arms squeezing you lightly.

"Okay...be safe..."

"Are you oka-"

"Alright Let's go! It's going to take all day for me to make dinner!"

Jin rushes you out the door before you can finish your question, your lip softly pushing out in a pout.

Jimin is acting so strange....

You slip into the passengers seat as Jin starts the car, his eyes lit up in a bright smile.

"This is perfect too, we can get the ingredients before the store is busy. I wouldn't want another incident."

"Incident?"

"Oh yeah. One year I took Jungkook-ah with me, and this woman thought she was going to push him out of the way to get the last ham."

"Really? What did you do?"

"Well, let's just say I got kicked out of the store for hitting her over and over with leeks while Jungkook-ah threw potatoes at her."

"Did....did you get the ham?"

Jin looks over at you and wiggles his eyebrows, his eyes gleaming with mischief.

"They wanted us out of the store so badly, they didn't even charge us for it."

"Woah...."

"However, since we're going to the store earlier, there shouldn't be a problem!"

Wow...he's really protective over them....

"Has...has Jungkook always been like this?...like how he is now?"

Jin drives for a moment in silence before sighing softly, his eyes focused on the road.

"Jungkook-ah and Jimin-ah used to be inseparable, when our mother was married to his father. Jimin-ah couldn't go anywhere without Jungkook-ah following him. He would often whine how much he followed him."

"So...after Jungkook's father died..."

"Jungkook-ah was still a small boy, so he couldn't realize our mother...fabricates stories. He believed every word she said that it was Jimin-ah's fault...when it wasn't his fault at all. Plus Jungkook-ah's father was famous and popular, so he saw the whole world crying over his father's death."

"Why is Jungkook still like that though? Couldn't he understand now?"

"No. He doesn't listen when anyone tells him the truth. He denies it and gets very very upset. One time him and Jimin-ah got in a huge fight about it and Jungkook-ah didn't come home for three days."

Wow....

"That's so sad...."

"It really is...I do what I can to keep the peace since our mother isn't here...I require we all eat together in hopes it'll make things even a little better...and times like Christmas are so important because it brings you together."

Together....I always thought my family that adopted me had that...but looking at how their family is...even with all their problems....they still come together to eat a meal....

Maybe my family wasn't what I thought it was....

"Um...can...can I help you cook the Christmas dinner?....I haven't cooked much in my life..."

"Well sure! I can teach you how to cook a delicious meal! Jimin-ah is the one that loves it the most."

Your cheeks redden thinking about Jimin eating food you cooked, a small smile stretching across your face.

"Really?"

"Well, like they say, a way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
