The Villain's Wife

"Merry Christmas!"

The clinking of champagne glasses echoed, followed by greetings that poured out from everyone's smiling mouth. The dinner was full of laughter and jokes, banter and funny arguments of silly topics. Then everyone was given the opportunity to give each other gifts.

"I thought we can only open gifts in the morning?" It was Seulgi. This was his first time celebrating Christmas, however, he prided himself in watching a lot of Christmas movies from the Hollywood. He should be considered an expert when it comes to American Christmas traditions.

"Morning or now.... What's the difference?" Irene answered as she opened her gift from Jennie. "Why are you even complaining? This is a happy occasion."

Seulgi pursed his lips. He chose not to answer the woman sitting beside him. It would only cause more arguments and therefore chaos. He could not afford to spoil the fun for everyone. "Can you move over?" he asked. "A little." He added.

They were currently huddled in the smaller living room of the mansion, which only had four small couch and a big Christmas tree fronting a fireplace. Jennie thought this place would be the best venue for gift giving as it was small and cozy.

"You can sit in the carpet if you want." Irene shrugged. Since both Lisa and Jisoo had their women sit on their laps, Irene and Seulgi was force to share the only couch available. While Sehun's tall frame was enough to occupy one couch for his own.

Seulgi nodded but did not heed her words. Instead, he focused on opening his present from Lisa and everyone else.

...

"Really?" Lisa lifted his eyebrow. He stared at Jennie, who was smiling at him in return. "We are doing well now?" His smile was short-lived when he remembered not using any protection during their making love session just a few minutes before midnight.

He widened his eyes at her. However, Jennie only smiled in response. "The Doctor said the result is great. And there is a possibility that I will get pregnant if we are not careful." She was talking about her gift for Lisa. It was the result of the test in her ovaries a few days back. She kept it a secret with the intention of giving it to him as a Christmas gift.

"But earlier-" he swallowed his nonexistent saliva as he thought of getting Jennie pregnant before their wedding. "What if..."

"Does anyone really care?" she beamed.

"But people will think..."

"Hey, we are already married. Who cares about them?" She said. Her voice lowered as she eyed the deed in her hand. "A house in Skopelos, huh."

"Hmmm.... I know you will love to stay in that place. I remember you said your grandparents love it too." The tension in his face slowly eased as she watched Jennie smiled. Her words were true. So what if she gets pregnant before the wedding day? They are already married for six months now.

Originally, Lisa was thinking of giving her a very extravagant wedding. Like those found in the magazines that the little Ruby Jane used to read when she was small. He wanted a fairytale wedding. Something that Jennie would remember forever. However, what he did not know was the fact that Jennie does not care about these things anymore.

To Jennie, weddings are just something superficial. Still, she would not say no to a grand wedding as long as she marries him.

The group continued to eat and talk for a few more minutes before they decided to retire to their rooms. It was already half-past two. However, not one of them cared. After all, it was really seldom for them to have a get together like this.
