Mingyu:

Wonwoo:

WHATS WRONG W U TF

Mingyu:

im sure ji would love to see santa this wonderful christmas eve

Wonwoo:

MINGYU NO

Wonwoo frustratedly shoves his phone in the back pocket of his pants, and briskly makes his way to Mingyu, who he now sees pocketing his own phone too.

He's about to say something, until Jieun screams loudly and panics, tightly clutching her dad's leg.

"Ji, baby, it's alright. It's just Gyu..." Wonwoo's stumped. How the fuck is he supposed to address Mingyu for Jieun?

"NO IT'S NOT. GYUGYU ISN'T SCARY!" She screams back, gripping Wonwoo's leg even tighter. He lifts her up on his arm, and pats her back, whispering quiet reassurances in her ear. GyuGyu, that's what she calls Mingyu.

Quite a gathering of people surround the commotion, while Wonwoo politely tells them to fuck off and mind their own business, just he puts it in nice words.

"It's nothing, I'm fine, thank you." He practically shoos them away. Gods, Wonwoo never knew people could be so nosy. He wouldn't go up to a stranger dealing with a screaming child.

Once there's barely anyone left around him, Wonwoo turns to Mingyu - who has an amused glint in his eyes, as he poorly tries to muffle his giggles.

"Happy Christmas Eve, Baby." Mingyu shoots him a wink, as Wonwoo turns pink at the nickname. Are they officially dating or what? Is Mingyu allowed to send shivers to his heart this way?

"You scare me sometimes, Gyu. Jieun, here, clearly didn't have the reaction you expected." Wonwoo tries to make Jieun believe that it's actually Mingyu, not fucking Santa. Then again, she's never really had a proper idea of what Santa looks like, since she was too small to comprehend and remember how a specific old man with a fluffy white beard and red and white shirt and pants looks like.

"No!" Jieun shrieks again, making Wonwoo raise an eyebrow at Mingyu, who is currently observing the father-daughter interaction with great interest, and probably fondness.

"Gyu, get your fucking ass home. Right now."

"Wait for like," Mingyu glances at his phone, "an hour more. I should be done by then."

"Okay."

And so, Wonwoo sets about roaming around in the mall, looking for good presents for his parents, Mingyu and Jieun. He was going to come here in the evening, but he isn't bothered to make another trip.

He ends up selecting a golf club for his dad, a ton of specific types of flavourings for his mum, a new video game for his moody brother, and an adorable onesie for Jieun (without her finding out, of course). Now here's where he runs into a problem. What should he get Mingyu? He's never had trouble getting the younger anything for Christmas, but he feels like he should be putting in more effort this year.

Lost in his thoughts, Wonwoo stumbles across a souvenir store. He peers in through the glass display, in hopes he could find something nice for the younger boy. Suddenly, Wonwoo recalls a memory of Mingyu telling him he likes low maintenance plants and unique snow globes.

Wonwoo happens to spot the latter in the store, and he decides to get it immediately. It's quite cheesy, Wonwoo decides, with a miniature couple kissing in a silent, snow covered park. Well, it's ordinary enough, but the one thing that stands out, is that it's two boys kissing, unlike any other snow globes Wonwoo has seen.

Jieun tugging at his hand shifts Wonwoo's attention from the globe to her. She points at the globe in his other palm, and says something that leaves Wonwoo shocked, yet somehow it gets him feeling warm and snug inside.

"Why does that remind me of GyuGyu and you?"

And Wonwoo and Mingyu haven't even let anyone know, let alone kiss anywhere except the confines of the guest bedroom at the Jeons'.
