Jihye and Renjun woke up to the sound of Christmas bells rolling around town—a truck driving around to spread the happy spirit.

The omega shifted with a groan, easily catching the dominant's attention, who pulled her closer.

"They're doing that every Christmas Eve; I forgot", he sleepily mumbled. "Good morning, dearest."


She also replied with an incoherent morning, her eyelids still heavy as she let herself fall asleep again.

Renjun knew almost instantly, as he knew his equally tired scent was also lulling her. He chose to fully wake up, though, just staring at his plain white ceiling while softly patting the girl's upper arm.


Not long after, a long buzz spoiled the peaceful moment. He peeked over the bedside table to see the omega's phone receiving a call.

With bare difficulty, he reached for it, squinting his tired eyes to see the minimal brightness of the phone.

He immediately accepted after reading out Jungwon's name.


"Hello?"

[Oh? Renjun hyung? ]

"Yep, what's up, kiddo?"

[Is Jihye still asleep? ]

"As a log, why? Any problem?"

[Not much, just the family Christmas time]

"Oh,", he glanced at the still-sleeping omega. "I'll tell her once she wakes up."

[Mom also appreciates it if you're going too. That is, if you didn't have plans with your family]

"Oh no, I'll spend it alone."

[Then you should come! At least for Jihye, I'm sure she'll be more comfortable if you're here.]

"Of course, thanks for the invite."

[Anytime, hyung, I'll tell mom. See you both tomorrow! ]

"See you"


A small yawn and a hand tightening his waist came at the same time the call ended, her eyes fluttering open and her vision adjusting as she looked up to him.


"What time is it?", she hoarsely asked.

"Hmm, close to eight."

"Early", she whined and closed her eyes again while snuggling to his side. "I'm hungry."

"Oh, the baby is growing well", Renjun beamed and wriggled down, placing a giggly peck on her still flat tummy. "Good morning to you too, little troublemaker."

"Renjun! Our baby won't be a troublemaker", she says, lightly hitting his shoulder.

"Oh, but I bet they will look cute while whining like you, my spoiled babies", he chuckled and pecked on her frowning lips. "Get up later, okay? I'll cook breakfast."
