20: "you havent showered yet idiot?"

*TAE POV*

Today was the day of the Christmas party and I was can't deny that I was far from excited. This was my first Christmas as a single man in years. And to top it all of, I was going to be spending this now lonely ass holiday with my ex, the very person who made me single in the first place. I was suddenly ready for this to be over and it hasn't even started.

I had drawn Ten's name for the stupid ass gift exchange and I had just gotten him a water jetpack. I honestly don't know how to explain that shit I just remember his dumb ass saying he wanted it one day.  Buying gifts wasn't really my specialty unless it was for Jungkook, but you know how that goes.

This Christmas I realized that I hadn't even spent a lot of money. It was because of my break up with the younger boy. Ever since we canceled our relationship I have come to an understanding that everything in my life was somehow affected or influenced by him and our relationship.

Our tradition every Christmas was that each day until the new year, we give each other presents. I spent the most money around this time and I was being spoiled the most, especially since it was Christmas and my birthday in the same month.

I mean, of course, it was always good to save money, but money was never the issue. That is all I have ever been around and it's never going anywhere.

But it wasn't about the money, it was about the memories that I lost that I will probably never get to relive. It was about a now broken relationship that I had just went through.

It was official... I hate Christmas.

Jimin had called me earlier this morning to ask me if I would help him set up for tonight's party, and of course I agreed. It's not like I had anything better to do. I had already got my gift and had an outfit in mind so it wasn't a big deal to help him out.

The drive to Jimin's house was not that long. Half of it was because I was used to the drive and the other half was because there wasn't much traffic.

When I arrived to his door, I knocked hard twice and was met by Jimin with no shirt and grey sweats.

For some odd reason I started experiencing intense hot flashes and my heart was beating immensely.

I don't know if it was because I hadn't seen another male shirtless in a few months or if I was genuinely going insane from lack of dick, but one thing I knew for sure was that he looked so damn good.

"Thank you for coming to help TaeTae," he smiled and let me inside.

The condo was decorated beautifully and It seemed like he didn't really need my help at all.

"It looks really good, what did you need me for again?" I chuckled and took of my shoes, being respectful of his home, and plopped on the long white couch.

"Actually my mom had did all of this, I just wanted you to help with the food," he was talking from the kitchen as he was putting a apron on his silky skin.

"Wow, I mean for a businesswoman she sure knows a lot about interior design,"  I was making my way to the kitchen to wash my hands and help Jimin.

"Well that's actually what she wanted to be growing up. She even went to school to learn more about interior design," he was getting a knife and the cutting board. He had pointed to the fridge and signaled me to get something out of it.

"What happened?" I scanned the refrigerator trying to guess what he was pointing at.

"Well, uhh she got pregnant with me in college and she changed her major to business because she figured it paid more...I guess she was right. Can you get the fruit Tae?" finally telling me what I was supposed to grab.
