17th

Yoongi parked his car outside of their house after getting off work and picking Sophia up from her job. "So, what's for dinner tonight?" Sophia asked as they got out of the car, grabbing their school stuff.

"I think my dad said something about barbecue chicken tonight." Yoongi answered taking Sophia's hand in his and intertwining their fingers automatically as they walked up to the front door.

"You guys eat a lot of chicken." Sophia commented as Yoongi pulled out his house key to unlock the front door.

Yoongi shrugged as he pushed the door open. "It tastes good." They stepped into the house, closing and locking the door behind them, and automatically saw that one of the side tables from the living room had been moved to sit between the door and the opening into the living room. On it sat a jar labeled 'feed me' with a set of instructions. "Looks like my dad's Christmas festivities for the year have begun." Sophia giggled as Yoongi read off the instructions. "Take two slips of paper and write down an activity you would like to do this week on each one, then add them to the list of chosen activities so we don't have doubles. We'll draw an activity every morning at breakfast to do that day until Christmas Eve." Yoongi chuckled as he read the last sentence, causing Sophia to ask him what was so funny. "This includes you, Sophia."

Sophia rolled her eyes. "Your dad thinks he's hilarious, doesn't he?" Yoongi didn't respond, not that she expected a response, as he was already uncapping one of the pens provided and reading over what his dads and brothers had written down, immediately seeing that he and Sophia were the last ones to do so as the others must have done it as soon as they got home from school or work, before writing his own activities down. He stepped to the side when he was done to give Sophia room to write hers down.

They then made their way to the kitchen, where Jin had just finished dinner and was fixing up a plate for Jimin to place in the microwave for when the 15-year-old got back from his ballet class. "Hey guys~" Jin greeted, grabbing some of the finished dishes and transferring them to sit on the table. "Can you go tell your brothers it's time for dinner?" Yoongi nodded and went off to the hallway, leaving Sophia in the kitchen to help Jin with setting the food on the table.

"I noticed you're doing something different with Christmas this year." Sophia commented as she and Jin sat down at the table to wait for the rest of the family.

"Yeah, it took me a long time to decide what to do for Christmas this year." Jin began to explain. Everyone that knew him knew how much effort he put into making every holiday season special and enjoyable for himself, his husband, and his sons. "Eventually I decided why not let the boys pick what they want to do, and voila, the jar!" Jin gestured to the jar still sitting near the front door.

"Well, I think it's very creative, and even if they tease you over it, I know that they actually love the idea." Jin thanked her as the four teenage boys and their other father finally trailed into the kitchen to eat.

As the family situated themselves around the table for breakfast before leaving for the day, Jin carried the meal for the morning over to the hungry males. "Okay, everyone has heard of breakfast burritos, now be ready for breakfast quesadillas!" Jin had been on a kick of scrolling through Pinterest to find different recipes to try out at home or different activities to do at the preschool, which Namjoon alluded to being because he was trying to distract himself from Yoongi's approaching graduation, but Jin thought his husband was crazy for thinking that.
