Jimin laughs, his eyes scrunching up into little crescents and peals of euphoric laughter falls out of him as he throws himself to the person next to him which happens to be Jungkook who wasn't expecting the older to fall into him and bumps into me and I fall landing on the ground with an oof . Which of course makes him only laugh harder and Jungkook joins in too, the laughter being contagious, his cheeks bunching up and nose scrunching in that adorable way of his.
I huff yet I can't help but let out a small smile at them as Jungkook offers me a hand, Jimin still unable to see as he giggles.
We were at the center of Seoul, not a worry in mind, as we wandered. Christmas was near and (With Jimin's constant insistence that he wanted our first Christmas together as soulmates to be special) we were out shopping for decorations. I still had to finish doing my gift, I hadn't got enough time to make it yet but I knew I didn't want to give them some random store-bought gift. It had to be special and I could definitely finish it within a few days, only having to add a few finishing touches and wrap it up.
The ornaments and various decorations made an early appearance in the markets, as they do every year, right after halloween and Jimin's been excited since. His adorable excitement was contagious and once Jungkook had seen both of our puppy eyes he couldn't help but cave in.
("C'mon Jungkookie, puh-leasee?" Jimin begged and I snickered at him, continuing to write my project for art history behind counter, while watching the both of them who were supposed to be cooking. "One day off won't have the company in ruins. And besides we've done everything for the next week too, come onn" He whined, throwing himself at the younger who struggled to chop the vegetables for dinner.
Jungkook faked an annoyed sigh and pushed the elder off him yet the subtle but fond grin on his face gave his facade away. Nobody could refuse Jimin anything.
"Even Taehyungie wants to go Christmas shopping, right Tae?"He turned to look at me and I put on my best innocent face.
"I mean-"
"You do want to. Right?" He glared pleadingly at me and I grinned before opening my mouth to respond with something negative just to hear him pout more but Jungkook beat me to it.
"Taehyungie needs to complete his assignment, babe. Maybe afterwards we might"
Jimin huffed dramatically and then proceeded to stomp his way over to me and laid himself across my lap, looking up at me with a pout. He looked like an angry bird and it amused me to no ends.
"How long must I wait for my misery to end."
I boop his nose and respond teasingly, "About thirty minutes because I'll be done then" startling when Jimin dramatically lifted himself off my lap.
"Great! dinner will be done by then and we could-hmph" Jungkook shrieked when he was met with a mop of fluffy hair and held his hands out to catch the older man on time, laughing fondly when Jimin refused to let go.
He leaned over to kiss my forehead with a grumpy Jimin still in his hands and I lightly blushed at the domesticity of it all. "How about we go tomorrow? Your classes are cancelled for the day so we could go shopping?" He asked and I giggled, nodding when Jimin immediately brightened up.
"Fucking finally oh my god. I hate you all." He yells walking dramatically over to the couch to flop on it.
"We love you too" Jungkook and I respond in unison, giggling at the elder's antics.)
The shops we pass twinkle with multicolored flashing lights, bouncing off the snow. Inside, trees glimmer with more lights and various ornaments and joyous music plays loudly. The atmosphere was pleasant, though everybody seems to be distressed and having problems on their minds the feeling of a holiday coming up puts everyone in an ebullient, friendly and cheerful frame of mind. The shops were warm and snug after coming in from the cold outside and the jolly songs made it all the more wholesome. The three of us had wandered into shop after shop singing, humming, occasionally dancing and swaying against each other— pointing at colorful and cool designs and ornaments we saw that would look fit for our home.
Home.
The word sent down a pleasant tingle down my spine. I would've never thought I'd be able to find my home in person but now I have. In two wonderfully amazing people- er vampires. It didn't matter what they were, vampires were supposed to be the coldest beings yet I couldn't help but feel anything but warmth when I'm with them. They've treated me more like a person than anyone ever has before.
The coldness enhances the day, the chilly wind blowing against our red frost-bitten cheeks and I shudder at the breeze, the bags I'm holding suddenly become heavier than before and I realize we've been out for two hours.
"Are you guys hungry? We could get ice-cream? I saw a parlour close by." Jimin and Jungkook look at me incredulously and I only grin while pointing at the parlour closeby.
Jimin huffs out a laugh against my shoulder, shuffling closer to me before responding "It's two degree weather and you want ice-cream? You might get sick y'know"
"Hey! I can handle my ice-cream" I frown at their combined laughter, despite the sound making me feel warm. "I can!"
"Okay okay baby, we believe you. How about we get some japchae first?" Jimin smiles at me and I nod.
"But we're having ice-cream afterwards right?" I can't help but ask and Jungkook ruffles my hair with his free hand, moving it to hold my waist later on and I giggle at him.
"Anything you want, darling."
...
The three males laugh at each other and move into the diner cheerfully. The place emits a cozy-calm vibe and they hurriedly placed their order and moved to the farthest seat from the door— away from most public eye and isolated. The perfect place to share hushed whispers, soft promises of tomorrow and melodic giggles in harmony.
A man followed them in afterwards, his eyes flashing red momentarily before it was covered by a hand. "Focus, will you? We can't make mistakes" The male next to him snapped and he flinched before nodding monotonously. He didn't notice the vague sense of desperation underlining his words.
Both of them picked a table sideways to the three soulmates and secretly snapped pictures while recording their voices. In a momentary state of bliss— Jimin, Jungkook and Taehyung failed to get hold of their surroundings and weren't aware of the consequences that might follow.
