the twins were first to wake up, surprised at the amount of presents underneath the christmas tree.

when they went to check on the cookies to see if santa ate them, happiness erupted in their hearts as they went and woke up their parents and sister to see that santa, did in fact, eat their homemade cookies.

johnny and ten woke up to the loud banging on the door, with the alpha jolting up and grabbing the nearest item to defend his family with against the intruder. when he opened the door, it only revealed donghyuck and yangyang smiling up at them as if they didn't just give their dad a whole ass heart attack.

ten, who woke up from the loud banging also, walks out of the bathroom and smiles at his two kids, greeting them a sweet good morning kiss on their chubby cheeks. johnny groans, feeling like he needs a few more hours of sleep.

minjeong seems to feel the same, walking out of her room with a bad case of bed head, matching her dad.

the twins tell them about the gifts and cookies when they finally got downstairs. yangyang points to the plate of crumbs on the kitchen island with the glass of milk half full, jumping in his spot from excitement.

"wow, santa must've liked those cookies then," minjeong says, glancing at johnny with narrow eyes.

it was around 3 in the morning when minjeong went downstairs for a glass of water having been feeling parched that she saw her dad looking like a raccoon in a trash bin eating the cookies.

the two freeze in their spots, keeping eye contact. minjeong moves first slowly reaching for a water bottle in the fridge, and drinking half of it's contents before walking over and eating some cookies as well.

they silently went back to their own rooms, never to speak about this again.

"yeah. they were really good cookies too," johnny chuckles that makes ten raise a brow at, suspicious. he shrugs ut off and directs his attention to the kids who were bouncing in excitement. "okay, go ahead and shower now. today's gonna be a busy day," ten tells them. the twins make no complaint, going on ahead to do as told.

when the kids are out of ear shot, minjeong speaks up first. "did you wake up early in the morning for the kids to think that santa actually came by and dropped their gifts off?" she asks, raising a brow. johnny nods, following ten into the kitchen.

"of course. i have to make their dreams come true somehow," he shrugs. "they spent three christmas' wishing for something and getting nothing in return— now that we're properly celebrating it as a complete family, it's the least i can do to make up for what i did," the alpha says, watching ten poke at the raw chicken that was going to be broiled later.

minjeong nods, grabbing a mug from the cupboard and a packet of hot chocolate. "thank you for that, dad. it's like when uncle yuta told me the tooth fairy wasn't real and you actually proved to me that she was real by answering my wish of getting a bar of snickers instead of random candy," she snorts, heating up some water.

"your dad can do alot of things," ten butts him, pulling out a mug for himself. coincidentally, minjeong and ten's mug match (they're both mugs with crystal studded cat paws on the exterior itself). "even cook?" the teenager asks, pouring some hot water into her mug, the hit chocolate immediately mixing in with said water.

"yeah, i guess." ten teases, plopping in some green tea power, some ice, mixing in some sugar and cream before adding in some cold water. johnny frowns, pouting.
