My saviour

Part 12- Christmas (2)

(Y/n POV)

I nearly tripped on the air hearing that and said, "haha no auntie, he's just my friend."

As they were the last guests to come we followed them into the living room which was filled with people.

"Oh, Y/n come sit here!" My cousin said.

I ended up sitting beside her on the ground and Jihoon sat beside me.

"Y/n, introduce that boy." My cousin said.

"Oh yes, of course." I said.

I quickly got up and grabbed Jihoon's arm indicating for him to get up.

"Everyone, this is Jihoon, he's my colleague, roommate and friend."

"At this rate he should just be your boyfriend." My cousin said as Jihoon was dragged over to talk to some of my great aunts.

I jokingly slapped her arm and sat down on the sofa beside her.

We had a long catch up as we hadn't seen each other for a long time and soon Chanyeol came into the room saying that me and Jihoon had to go up and get the kids for dinner.

"What did my aunties say to you?" I asked Jihoon walking up the stairs.

"Just bombarded me with questions about us." He said.

"What do you mean about us?" I asked.

He smiled, "it's a secret."

I glared at him.

I went over to Jeongwoo's room to see him reading a story for the kids.

"Hi." He said hearing us come in.

"Dinner's ready get the kids down." I said.

The kids all looked over when they heard me talking and some got up and rushed over to me.

"Y/n!!" They said, hugging me.

I giggled at them and said, "what have you guys been doing with Jeongwoo?"

As soon as I asked that they burst into full blabbering about the games that they played.

"Wow that must've been fun." I said, "let's go downstairs for dinner now k?"

They nodded and cheerfully walked down the stairs, nonstop chattering.

They walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the dinner table.

When it came to family gathering the kids always ate first and then the adults would eat.

So with that me Jihoon and Jeongwoo went around with food and juice.

"Who want orange juice?" Jihoon asked.

"Anyone want anymore chicken?" Jeongwoo asked.

"Y/n can you pass me a tissue?"

After a few minutes the kids got what they all wanted and were happily munching away.

Obviously my mum couldn't let this moment of the kids eating pass without taking a video.

She handed me her phone and said, "take a few photos and videos for me, will you?"

***

Everyone was done eating and the kitchen was fully cleaned up, most adults were in the living room, torturing the kids by making them stand back-to-back to see who was taller.

I was sitting in the corner, with my 2 month old cousin peacefully sleeping in my arms.

Jihoon was sitting beside me talking to my 18 yo cousin who seemed to be throwing herself onto Jihoon.

I've never really liked her she was that popular girl at school, who would try get all the boys attention. With her long hair and full face makeup.

Jeongwoo was walking round the room testing his new camera that he got for Christmas, by taking pictures of the family

Photography was his new hobby.

***

Right now it's 1am, everyone went home at around 12 and we had just finished cleaning everything up.

We were all exhausted and couldn't wait to go to sleep.

I walked into my room and flopped onto the bed.

"Go brush your teeth and change." Said Jihoon, coming in.

I got up, with my eyes already starting to droop.

I came out and got into bed before Jihoon went into the bathroom, me falling asleep while he was in there.

"No mum please don't."

"I promise I'll break-up with her."

I opened my eyes to see who was talking.

I turned over to see Jihoon turning and flipping around before checking the time.

It was currently 4:21 in the morning.

Jihoon was obviously having a nightmare and he looks pretty scared.

"Jihoon, Jihoon!" I said, trying to wake him up.

No answer.

I called him a few times after that but I still got no answer.

So instead I just held his hands and squeezed it whenever he started to toss and turn.

This continued for a while until he finally woke up his eyes teary.

"Jihoon?" I said.

He looked a bit surprised that I was awake.

"Yea?" He asked, his voice hoarse.

"Are you okay?" I asked, concern laced my voice.

"Yep, just a nightmare."

I reached my hands up into his hair and started to play with it.

"Tell me about it." I said.

He pulled me close to him and whispered the whole story to my ears.

"I dreamed of my parents kicking me out. Only they were abusing me this time and everything felt so vivid, every slap stung until it was numb and I couldn't feel anymore."

I squeezed his hands and said, " it's okay now, it was all a dream."

He nodded.

We laid in silence until I said, "your like a baby."

"I'm your baby," he said.

I was about to argue back but then remembered that he just went through a nightmare so I let him off.

He dozed off again in like 5 minutes with me falling asleep soon after that.
