Wonnie's point of view

It's Christmas time and it's hectic.

Christmas Eve is at my mom's house this year while Christmas Day is at Aunt Cina's house. It wouldn't be a true family holiday without complete dysfunction and chaos.

"Where are your antlers?"

Did I mention we're all wearing matching pajamas with reindeer antlers on our heads? It was for our family photoshoot and I pray to God these pictures never get out.

I didn't pray hard enough because dispatch was on it! Keeho smiles as he presses the button to make his antlers sing roudolph the red nose reindeer.

Yuta whines and complains as my mother adds blush to his cheeks. Aunt Cina who is full of the holiday spirit prances around annoying her two husbands for dear life.

Keeho: Uncle Yeosang looks like a cranky reindeer.
Hwasang: Maybe he broke a hoove.

The man in question shoots them a death glare making them shut up. Rin comes over to me looking absolutely adorable, she giggle once I kiss her forehead.

Me: You look pretty.
Rin: So do you!
Me: I'm pretty?

She blushes before nodding.

"JINGLE BELLS JINGLE BELLS.."

Rin: Ah, I think Mr.San has had too much spiked eggnog.
Me: My mom forgets not everyone has an alcohol tolerance like her so she creates monsters.

"Wonnie!"

I glance at my tipsy older brother, who has a broken dangly antler.

Yeonjun: Come help us build this shmingerbread house.

A who?

My dad sighs.

Kihyun: Yeonjun drink some water.
Yeonjun: I'm not even drunk dad.
Kihyun: You were drunk a long time ago.

Speaking of drunk a long time ago, Kai sits there staring at the wall.

Changkyun: Kai don't die on me, if you die Shownu and Santana will kill me in cold blood.

I chuckle as the youngest of the group shakes Kai for dear life.

Hwasang: Is the food done?
Me: We're just waiting on the ham I think.
Hwasang: Perfect! I don't eat ham so I can go eat!

As he turns around a freshly manicured nail pokes him in his forehead.

Mom: Absolutely not, we have to bless the food.
Hwasang: Aunt Santana! I'm starving.
Mom: You'll be aight.
Hwasang: So mean.
Mom: Oh? I guess I should return all your presents I bought you.

He gasps.

Hwasang: We don't have to go that far God-mom.

He kisses her check and she laughs.

Soon enough we're all gathered in the kitchen making our plates. All of our holidays are special but this one is slightly more special because Aunt Char has all kids in the same room getting along while Keeho and Leedo are laughing together.

A Christmas miracle honestly.

Hwasang: I miss Hana.
Keeho: Whipped.
Hwasang: Shut up, easy for you to say when your two girlfriends are across the room.

Keeho looks over and starts to wave to Lex, she laughs before waving back. Rin looks at me and smiles.

Me: Should've dated someone in the inner circle.
Hwasang: Hell nah, they're all crazy.

True.

Hwasang: We're spending New Years together though so I guess that's something.
Keeho: Exactly so don't be ungrateful Dasher!
Hwasang: I'm Dancer.
Me: I thought you were Comet.
Keeho: That's me!
Me: Thought you were Cupid.
Keeho: That's you.
Me: I'm Donald.

Keeho buffers.

"Time to open stocking stuffers!"

Tradition in our extended family is opening stocking stuffers on Christmas Eve and tree presents on Christmas Day. Aunt Cina and my mom laugh when they see my dad bought them matching flasks.

Aunt Cina: They're diamonds on it, thanks Hyungwon.
Hyungwon: It matches y'all personalities.

Uncle San squeals to the top of his lungs once he unwraps a new Apple Watch. He runs to hug Uncle Seonghwa.

Uncle Hongjoong: Well technically he broke yours so..-
Uncle Seonghwa: Hush!

I unwrap a diamond chain and so does Hwasang and Keeho. Aunt Cina smiles.

Aunt Cina: You guys have been the three stooges ever since you were little, so now you match.
Me: Thanks God-mom.

She smiles and Keeho hugs her.

"Now what is this?"

Uncle San tosses his arm around Yuta's next.

Uncle San: Remember how I used all your soy sauce?
Yuta: Get away from me.
Uncle San: But this is a good brand!

My mom phone begins to go off and it's a FaceTime request, she answers it and my dad's face pops up. She gasps.

Mom: Hyunwoo?

"SHOWNU!?"

The next thing you know it's pure chaos fighting over the phone. My dad Changkyun is snitching, Uncle San is yelling about how he misses him, Keeho is saying no one can barbecue like him, my dad Minhyuk is crying.

Shownu: I miss you guys too but can we not trample my wife? She's little.
Mom: I'm five six!
Uncle San: When everyone around you is five eight and taller that means nothing Sannie number two.

She groans.

After an organized rotation I finally end up with the phone.

Shownu: How are you?
Me: I'm good, more or less the same.
Shownu: That's good. Is school taking it easy on you?
Me: Of course not.

He laughs.

Shownu: Listen, remember yourself comes first. Your mental and physical health is everything. School can wait.
Me: I know.

He shakes his head.

Shownu: Your bags have bags and no amount of coffee can fix that.

Why does he notice everything even through the camera?

Me: Are you taking care of yourself?
Shownu: Of course!

He does look like he's glowing.

Shownu: I'll be back hom to guys soon, I miss you all very much. Also make sure your brothers don't drink too much.
Me: Too late dad.

We laugh.
