Y/N'S POV ::
Kim mansion. It's very huge. The interior looks like its straight out of movie. I have never been here because everytime I met with them waseither in their small cottage or meet up point. It's my first time coming here and I can't help but take in the beauty of the house. It's as big as Jungkook's one but I notice a change in the air. It's warm, cozy and lively while Jungkook's place seemed so cold when I stepped in for the first time. Even his mansion was lonesome because no one lived there except him. I look around in awe as the whole place is decorated with lots of lights and ribbons. I walk inside and spot a huge Christmas tree in a hallway which makes me let out a instant smile. My smile widens even more when I spot little seahyun running around while Taehyung is chasing him. "Saehyun-ah!" I call out and the boy is rushing towards me as I crouch down with open arms. "Slow down little guy!" Taehyung exclaimed from behind while Saehyun is crushed in between my arms.
"Oh my God I missed you!" I mumbled as he let out a giggle. "Me too!" He looks up as I plant a soft kiss on his right cheek. He looks behind me and then back at me. "Where is kookie?" I knit my brows together at his question. "Oh my God y/n! I'm so glad that you came!" Irene unnie walks in with a wide smile on her face as Seaokjin oppa is behind her with the same smile. "Thank you for inviting!" I give her a hug as she nods at me. "Ahh hyun! I brought few gifts for you!" I hand him the paperbag i was holding and the guy runs towards the couch while giggling. "Merry Christmas, y/n!" Namjoon oppa exclaims while holding a coffee mug in his hand. "Good gracious, Joon. Its not a time to drink coffee!" Irene unnie scolds him as the man just shrugs his shoulder. "Merry Christmas, princess!" Taehyung pulls me in a hug as I hit his arm playfully.
"Where's Jungkook tho?" Irene unnie asks while looking behind as I open my mouth to speak but someone else answers for me. "Here." There comes the main guest. I let out a sigh as Jungkook walks in with that same straight face.
Bizarre.
"Merry Christmas, kook." Irene unnie greets him while the other three men are eyeing him with wide eyes. "Is he actually here?" I hear seokjin oppa whispering while nudging Namjoon oppa. "I don't know, can you pinch me?" Namjoon oppa says and later a loud wince is heard from him as everyone stares at the two brothers. "I didn't ask you to pinch that hard." Namjoon complains as Irene rolls her eyes and turns to Jungkook. "I'm glad you made it here." Jungkook nods with a tight smile. "Kookie!!!" Saehyun calls him out and everyone walks in while I feel someone's arm on my shoulder. "You're a magician, princess." Taehyung says as I roll my eyes. "I knew he'll come if it's for you!" He winks as I elbow him. "Quit it man. He came because he wanted to." I said as he raised his brows. "You think? He came here because you gave him the strength to come out otherwise he wouldn't have made it outside his room today." Somehow my heart saddens at that. Thinking that he was alone every Christmas day.
"You all never tried to pull him out?" I asked as Taehyung sighed. "We tried but there's a limit of pushing anyone. Besides, he has habits to push people away." His eyes are on me as he examines me. "But you... you are doing something to my bestie." I push Taehyung away from me and walk in while he follows behind. "Y/n, be comfortable!" Seokjin oppa says as I give him a nod before removing my coat and placing it on a hanger. I look around and find Jungkook sitting on a couch with namjoon oppa. They are lost in a conversation but I don't forget to take a glance at him. He has taken off his coat and is left in his black turtle neck with folded sleeves.
"Quit drooling,will you?" I instantly jump as the voice near my ear. "You scared me!" I glare at Taehyung who smirks. "And I wasn't drooling you idiot." I muttered while walking away. Everyone gets busy in their work after a while. Irene unnie Seokjin inside the kitchen preparing dinner. Namjoon and Jungkook are just discussing something while me and Taehyung are left with Saehyun but soon after Taehyung leaves as well saying he has an online date. I cringed at him but let him be. "That's not how you do that puzzle, Saehyun." I mumbled to the little boy who pouted at me. "Seahyun wants appa!" He exclaimed as I sighed. Before I could tell him something, his father showed up and he ran towards him. "I'll help in the kitchen." I said and left them both.
"Hey, y/n." Irene unnie exclaimed as I walked inside the kitchen. "What are you doing?" I asked as she showed me apple pies she was making. "I literally made hot chocolate whole day today." She sighed as I smiled at her. "Why tho? Where are the servants?" I asked while trying to cut the veggies. "Holidays, baby holidays." We both chuckled while doing our work. "Y/n-ah.." I hummed in response as she turned around to face me. "Thank you so much for coming here with him." She said as I blinked my eyes. "I didn't do anything tho." I looked down. "Jungkook never celebrates Christmas. I've never seen him joining us for this day since the day I got married to Jin." She said with a sigh leaving her lips. "You made the impossible, possible." She chuckled as I twisted my lips. "Anyone would've done it one day. It happened to be me this time." I smiled as she nodded. "I believe you're not just anyone for him." My movements halted at her words.
"I don't know him very well but I know him much to know that he do not helps just anyone without a reason." She said as I continued to slice the veggies. "We are good friends tho." I mumbled as she hummed. "Does all your friends stare at you like that?" She nudges my elbow as I look up and find him staring at me. Our eyes meet for a brief moment before I avert my eyes and look down while he looks away. I feel my body burning but I decide to ignore it. "It.. it doesn't matters how he looks at me.." I mumbled as she gives me a look. "It does because you don't know how he looks at you." She said as I turned around to face her. "How..?" The word slipped out before I could even shut it.
"As if the world is falling apart and you're the only salvation."
I feel my heart freezing at her words as I keep staring at her blankly. Not getting the quite reaction from me, Irene shakes my arm as I sighed. "It's okay! Don't be like this." She mumbled as I shook my head and we both continued doing our work.
The last thing I want in my life is someone falling in love with while I fall only to break them later..
An hour later we are finished with preparing dinner as I set the food on dining table. "Everyone! Dinner's ready!" Irene exclaims and Taehyung and Saehyun are the first to sit at the table. "Oh Jesus! Are they working?" Irene asks as Taehyung hums. "Namjoon! Jin! Jungkook! Come here before I come there!" She yells and soon the three of them hurries. "They fears you." I mumbled as she smiles with a nod. "Of course they do!" She mumbled while taking a seat. Looking at how Irene takes control of everything makes me wonder that how hard it must've been for her to handle everything after Mr and Mrs Kim died. I read the article where it was mentioned that the couple died after the wedding of their older son. They were on a trip and their plane crashed. It was after three years of Seokjin's wedding which means that Saehyun was a year old that time. I wonder how she handled her baby with three men who were mourning for the loss looking upto her for the comfort and care.
I stare as she serves the food to everyone while scolding Taehyung to not be picky and yelling at Jungkook to eat more. She serves Namjoon more with a force and glares at Seokjin who tries to make lame joke about her while she handles Saehyun too. Indeed the woman is admirable. I smile to myself and think how blissful it is to have a huge family. "You're not eating, y/n." She turns to me as I come out of my trance. "I am." I mumbled and all of us started digging in our food. "How's living with Jungkook, y/n?" Namjoon asked as I stared at him while chewing my food. "This guy is so annoying! He barely stays home!" I scrunch my nose as everyone chuckled. "Also! He has weird taste in food." I keep complaining about him to everyone while ignoring the glare and daggers he shoots towards me with his eyes.
"No but i agree with you! He is a total freak about tidiness." Taehyung said as I nodded my head. "And you're literally the messiest one. If it's for you then you won't bother sleeping in a stable." Jungkook rolls his eyes while Taehyung slaps his arm. "Mum!" Saehyun yells, gathering everyone's attention. "What happened, champ?" Namjoon asks him. "Should we sing?" The four year old asked making everyone freeze in their spots. Their eyes turned towards Jungkook as I felt him getting still beside me. "Baby.." Irene started as I let out a sigh before turning towards Jungkook. "You said, you'll let me play in snow dude!" I exclaimed as he blinked and looked at me as if I've grown not two but three heads at least. "I.. did?" He muttered as I slapped my forehead while turning towards Saehyun.
"Hyun! Will you play with me in the snow?" I asked the little one who pouted before nodding his head. "Then finish your dinner quickly! We gotta go outside!" I smiled at him and he forgot that he asked for Christmas Carol. The situation was getting better as everyone returned to their food.
JUNGKOOK'S POV ::
I could hear y/n squealing as she is playing in the snow with Saehyun while I'm upstairs. I walk towards the window as my hands starts to shake but I take deep breathes and slide open the curtains as I my eyes lands on her. It's still snowing but I can't take my eyes away from her. She is running around with those giggles leaving her lips. The sound of her laugh reaching straight to my heart and covering it in a warm cocoon as I feel myself getting relax. The way she managed to divert Saehyun's mind during the dinner was something no one would've been able to do. She handled it just in time. I let out a sigh as while looking away. Suddenly my eyes lands on the Polaroid camera placed near the nightstand which belongs to Taehyung.
I take one glance outside and remembered about her bucket list. Fishing out my phone from my pocket I stare at the picture I've snapped of her bucket list. Indeed I was right about playing in the snow thing. Grabbing the camera I walk towards the window again and look outside. She is still playing with Saehyun so I snap few pictures of her and everyone else too. "What exactly are you doing?" The camera nearly fell off from my hand but I keep it in hold while finding Taehyung right beside me. "I've never seen you so comfortable during snowfall." He said as I sighed and closed the window. "I am.. not comfortable.. that's why I'm here and not there." I mumbled as he hummed but the Polaroids comes out from the camera and falls on floor. "Uh.." Taehyung grabs one of them and I shut my eyes instantly regretting everything that I was doing.
"Most of the pictures are of, y/n.." he tilts his head while eyeing me. "Shut it." I snap at him while trying to grab the picture but he won't just give up. "No but seriously, kook! What the hell is going on?!" He exclaimed with a wide smile as I glared at him. "Nothing is going on. Give me that picture." I gritted out. "If nothing is going on then I'm keeping this picture. She looks beautiful here. Doesn't she? With those open hairs and snow all over them and then her damn smile!" I fist my palm while inhaling sharply. "Give it back , Tae." I said as he smirked at me. "Why do you need it?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. "I don't. She needs it." I said while stared at me confusingly. "Care to elaborate or shall I keep this in my drawer?" I sighed at him and his behavior.
Fighting with Taehyung is a never ending saga because that bastard is black belt in Judo while I've learned boxing. I shake my head while pulling out my phone and showing him y/n's bucket list. "Woah! Why does she have a bucket list?" He asked. "Said she wants to do these things in her early twenties." I mumbled as he rolled his lips while thinking deep. "That's weird. Even the things she added are weird." He said as I let out a defeated sigh. "Who cares about the reason? Give me the damn picture!" I exclaimed while he chuckled and moved his hand away. "Are you helping her with that?" He asked as I hummed in response. "Woah! Jeon Jungkook helping a girl whom he claims to hate. Not scandalous at all." He said as I glared at him. "A word about this bucket list to her and you're buried seven feets under the ground."
Taehyung motions zipping his mouth as I glare at him. "Now give that back otherwise I'll end up telling Namjoon hyung that you fucked up the deal with Swiss group." I said as his mouth opened. "Bro! Is that all I get for sharing my late night snacks with you?" He started again as i thinned my lips and stared at him. "Give it back." And he hands me the Polaroids with a pout on his face.
An hour later, we all are gathered in a living room while sipping on our drinks. Saehyun ended up sleeping in y/n's arms and I notice how she eyes him with all love in her eyes. "I'll take him to his bed." Namjoon hyung says while picking Saehyun up before he walks away. "Ok everyone! I have a suggestion!" Taehyung gets all the attention at that. "Hope it's something decent." Irene noona mumbles as he shoots her a glare. "Out of all people here, you'll love it the most noona." He said. "What is it?" Y/n asked as she sips on her hot chocolate. "How about we all go to the small trip for new year?" There's a silence at his question as he stares at everyone. "...like a small trip at our warehouse in jeju? We will invite everyone there to celebrate new year!"
"That's a really good idea! Right y/n?" Irene noona is the first one to speak. "I mean.. uh.. I don't have any problems.." y/n smiles while nodding. "What about you, Hyung?" Taehyung turns to Seokjin hyung who opens his mouth to speak but his wife answers for him. "Yes he is coming." Then namjoon hyung enters. "And Namjoon is coming too! Make sure you invite others as well!" She informs to Taehyung who nods and turns towards me. "Well I know you're coming." He smirks at me as I roll my eyes and take a sip on my wine instead.
Petty bastard.
"Keep visiting." Irene Noona engulfed y/n in a hug as we are leaving. "You know you can spend the night here." Namjoon hyung said as I shook my head. "If we are going on a trip in four days then I have take care of few things." I said as he nodded. "Are you driving?" Y/n asked as I hummed. "But you are drunk tho." She mumbled while getting inside the car. "I'm sober enough. Plus I have high alcohol tolerance." I muttered as I started the engine. We bid our goodbyes to everyone and finally drove away. Y/n's phone started ringing and the ride was filled with her random talk and aggressive greeting with Jen.
"Jungkook!" She called out once we reach my mansion and I was about to go to my room. I turned around with a hum. "Merry Christmas!" She smiled with a sigh as I blinked my eyes. I was desperate to clutch on my chest and punch my heart so it could stop beating so fast. "And thank you.. for everything you did today! I had an amazing Christmas thanks to you!" She continued speaking while I was lost looking at her face. Her lips. I gulp down the lump forming in throat while forcing myself to look away.
They looks inviting.
Oh for fucks sake!
I internally groaned. "Good night." I mumbled and ran towards my room. Throwing my coat away I let out a groan while plopping on the bed. I pulled out the Polaroids I took today and stared at them. I'll have to give them to her. I sighed and looked away. Just then my eyes landed on a box placed on the night stand as I knitted my brows and grabbed. I narrowed my eyes as I pulled out a doll and a note fell the box.
"A nightmare catcher doll so you can sleep peacefully! Merry Christmas biggie! I'm sorry I couldn't buy anything else because you have everything :(.
- Y/n"
I didn't realize that I had a small smile on my face as I stared at the stuffed doll in my hand. "A wild cat , indeed." I muttered while placing the doll beside my bed.
That night,I did managed to get a sleep.
