"Yeah, the taste will make me feel like I'm kissing you," his cute and quiet giggle flutters my heart, and I chuckle but do not say anything, and Mister Jeon comes back, but the doorbell rings almost at the same time.

I happily stand up, ready to spend this day with those four men, and since Mister Jeon is the head of the house, he opens the door and greets them, my brother and dad. "Hello," he bows to them and steps back, smiling from ear to ear. "Hello," my brother first walks in, with some snowflakes over his clothes, holding a bag in one hand. I do not wait but jump against him to wrap my arms around his waist, and he takes his shoes off but still rubs my back. "Hey," he steps to the right to touch the floor and lay the bag on the table.

"I'm happy to see you," I hug him and feel his lips press a kiss on my forehead. "I'm happy to see you too," he raises his eyes up to Mister Jeon. "It's nice to meet you," he addresses him, both meeting one another for the first time. "It's nice to meet you too."

"The food is here," he grabs hold of the bag that seems heavy, and I step back to look for Joonha. "And we brought truffles for you," he hands it to him when Mister Jeon reaches out for it. "Aw, that's so sweet of you. Thank you so much. I'm a fan of truffles, so it's quickly going to be empty."

I step towards Joonha, who is quietly talking to my dad, but who seems very antsy. "He's nervous, so be kind to him," I expose my baby but see, from his facial expression, how much he would want to make me regret it. "Don't be nervous, I'm a kind man," he takes his scarf off, Joonha nibbling on his bottom lip and making me cringe at the sight of his piercing grazing his teeth. "I believe you, Sir."

"Hello," my brother comes close to me, but our dad walks away, probably to go and help Mister Jeon. "Hey, you're not here to kill me, right?"

"If there's no reason to do it, I won't," he smirks, always showing an attitude in front of Joonha to tell him, with no words needed, that he undeniably has a lot of power. "Ha ha, good to know," he forces a laugh and gets me to scoff but feel empathy for my baby boy. "There won't be any reasons, so stop being mean."

"I'm not being mean, I'm stating the truth," he sticks his hands in the pockets of his black trousers but gets my eyes to discern a chain bracelet I have never seen him wear before. "What is that?"

"From Hyunjin. We saw each other this morning for our friendship anniversary, and we're wearing a new one now," he explains, their friendship making me envy them. I have never had a friend for so long, they are both lucky. "It's pretty," I turn it around his wrist to check if the is a charm or something else, and he pulls his hand out to move it towards me and lets me see it more properly. "I wanted to send you a picture and show you this morning, but I waited to be here."

"Do you wear nail polish?" Joonha points out, and my brother answers. "She's the one who put it on me. She kept annoying me about it, so I gave in," he dares to act like he did not want to try at all, and Joonha laughs through his nose. "You always give in to me," I proudly smirk at him, but he does not agree with it at all, he heaves his hand up to my face and gives a tap to my cheek. "Shut up."

I gasp and touch my cheek to act shocked, and I stick my body to Joonha. "Did you see what he just did? Aren't you defending me?"

"Yeah, come here," he takes me in his arms. "I know she can be very annoying but don't do that again, alright?" he does not fully stand up for me, and this time, my mouth opens to express a genuine emotion. "Did you just call me annoying?"

"Such an amazing boyfriend you have," my brother does not miss such an opportunity, and I raise my eyebrows and move away from Joonha. "Right on Christmas day," I pretend to be offended and walk away, but he catches my arm and pulls me back towards him. "I didn't mean it, stop it. You call me worse than that."

"Not true," I smile and hug him back, and they both continue.

11 pm.

"I got the last one," I add another box to the ones I brought on my lap, and the four of them look at me. "Do you want to start?" Inhyuk asks me, and I nod. I have more gifts to give than they do, so it is better. "The first one is for you, dad," I hand him the wrapped box, and he grabs it. He opens it pretty eagerly, then I hand one to Inhyuk, who is sitting on my left, to start with my family.

"Holy," my dad already reacts in front of the watch and bracelet. "This is the one I wanted, I'm so happy, honey. Thank you so much," he moves up and comes up to me for a hug and kiss on the crown of my head. "I'm glad you're happy," I smile and peek at Inhyuk who opened his, and once he holds the jewelry box to read the note inside, I look at his eyes.

The corners of his lips curve up, and he turns his head towards me. "I love you too," he presses a kiss on my forehead, seeming touched by the words that I wrote in order to make him realize how amazing, strong, and perfect he is. He takes the chain out of the box and put it on, and he checks what is the second item I got him.

"No way you bought this one," he turns the fragrance around, probably not believing that I spent more than a hundred on it. "I did. It's your favorite, so I wanted to."

"Thank you so much. I'm going to be scared to use it though," he keeps the bottle in his hand to never stop scanning every part of it, and I chuckle. "It will be a waste if you don't, you can still keep the bottle afterwards even if it's empty, so use it," I look down at the two boxes left on my thighs, and I set my eyes on Joonha. "This is yours, but you'll open it once we're alone," I smile and lay his present down on his lap, and I look for Choco but notice he is lying down next to Joonha.

"This is for your baby boy," I give it to him so that he can open it, and he laughs but does it. Joonha lets out an adorable noise. "Aw, this is so adorable," he shows some love to the collar with 'Joonha's boy' written on it. "Look, my baby. It's for you," he brings it to him and takes the one he is already wearing off, and he puts this new one instead, which seems to make Choco happy.

"Who's next?" I ask to keep going, loving this special moment with them. Inhyuk does not say anything but hands me the one he was holding this whole time. "You'll get yours tomorrow in the morning," he looks up at our dad to reassure him, and he grins. "Good, I'll wait for Santa to deliver it."

I giggle but take what Inhyuk gave me, eager to see what is inside. I do not take too long to open it. I cannot wait, so I impatiently remove the pretty wrapping but feel astonished when I fall open an envelope next to a smaller box. Before checking what must be a note that will make me cry, I pick the other box up and open it.

When my eyes end on a bracelet with a heart on it. Instantly, a smile grows on my face, and I hurry to put it around my wrist. "It looks so pretty, I love it," I peek wrap my arm around him and read the note he left with it.

No matter how far away we are from each other, I'll always be here for you. I love you, little brat.

I hold back from being emotional in front of everyone and give him a tight hug. "I love you more," I keep the note and place it next to the envelope. "That's not true, but I won't argue now," he does not stay quiet about it, and I smile but do not start an argument either. I feel like the envelope is very important, so I focus on it and check what it is.

In case this could hide some money, which I doubt, I do not rip it off but properly pull the top up, and I take the pieces of paper out. At the exact second that I understand what I have in my hand, I cover my hand and shoot my eyes up to him. "Are they real?"

"You think I'd buy you fake ones?" he remains calm as my heart is pounding, and with another glance at the two tickets, I burst into tears and hide my face in his chest but squeeze him in my arms. "Thank you so much...I can't even believe this is true," I sob from joy, still not realizing I am going to attend a Stray Kids concert, and he drops a kiss on my head. "You'll be in the front row, so I hope you'll enjoy it."

"Of course, I will," I move back to wipe my tears away and look at the tickets again. This must have cost so much, how did he even manage to buy two of them in that area?

"Does that mean they'll be right in front of me?" I ask, feeling like in a dream, and he runs his thumb over my wet cheek and smiles. "Yes. I was really lucky to get them because I didn't know they were having a tour, so their concert here happened earlier this week, but you'll see them in Japan in February."

"Thank you so much, you can't even imagine how happy it makes me," I read everything that is on it, living one of the best moments of my life. "I'm pretty sure Joonha will be happy to see Han in real life," he teases him but makes me understand those are not for us both. "What do you mean? I'm not going with her. I know the price of those tickets, and you're the one who got them for her, I can't-"

"I got them for you two," Inhyuk cuts him off, but Joonha does not accept it. "No, seriously. I was not even able to buy them for us, so I can't go instead of you."

"I'll buy a third ticket so that you stop arguing," Mister Jeon interrupts their endless disagreement, and no matter how happy this makes me, I am also scared. I love my brother as much as I love Joonha, so picking one of them will be difficult, I do not want any of them to be sad. "Dad, you don't even realize how expensive it is, and I'm pretty sure they don't even have any tickets left for the front row."

"How much do you think it would be now if there's by any chance, one left in the same zone?" he asks and looks at my brother. "Between eight hundred and a thousand," his answer causes me to choke on air. "Did you pay that for one ticket?"

"Let's not talk about prices. I had the money to afford them, so I don't want the price to be brought up," he asserts and indirectly tells them to not mention it. "Yeah, let y/n enjoy her gift, and we'll talk about who goes there or not later," Mister Jeon helps to solve the problem, for now, and I place the tickets back in the box, close it, and keep it safe in front of me. "Now, it's the dads' turn to give their gifts," he decides so that we can continue, and I dry my tears.

1 am.

"See you tomorrow, I love you," I hug my brother and tell him goodbye, and he holds me tight. "I love you too," he pulls away to leave and follows my dad towards the car after saying goodbye to Joonha and his dad.

I look at them enter the vehicle and get ready to go, and when I see my brother wave, I smile and do it back until they are out of sight.

The cold affecting me a little too much, I run back inside and close the door, and since Joonha went to the restroom, I head to the Christmas tree where I pretended to have left myself a gift for tomorrow.

Today was amazing, I got to see and spend time with the four people I love the most in my life, so this made a good memory, and I cannot wait to do this again tomorrow.

"Mister Jeon?" I ask for his attention now that no one is around, and while gathering up all the dirty dishes from the table, he glances at me. "Yes, sweetheart?"

"This is for you," I shyly inch the gift closer to him, feeling apprehensive about his reaction and what he might think of it.
