It was Friday, two weeks before Christmas and Yn had been able to leave work early. There really wasn't that much to be done before Monday and her coworker, Jongho had offered to finish up the last bits of the project they had been working on, letting her start her weekend early.
She practically skipped down the hallway, hoping Hoseok was not busy at this random time of day.
As soon as she walked into the apartment, Yn knew something was wrong, there was a weird crackling noise coming from the living room and then a deep sigh and thud.
She quickly kicked off her shoes and dropped her bag, walking further into the apartment, "Hobi?"
Hoseok looked up at her from the floor, surrounded by the biggest mess Yn had ever seen him make. There was crumpled wrapping paper all over the floor, cellophane covering the couch and tape on everything except the stack of presents littering what could be seen on the carpet.
"Hope, what happened?" Yn asks, surveying the damage in the room.
"Apparently I am unable to wrap presents," Hoseok sighs from the carpet, looking totally defeated.
"Oh," Yn pauses, taking in just how bad her boyfriend must really be at this, "How did you do this in the past then?"
"I had people do it for me," Hoseok lets out another sigh from the floor, "Jin would wrap most of them and then I would have Taehyung do Jin's."
Yn chuckles, "Well I'm sorry you moved out of the dorms and away from your built in gift wrappers but I can help you know."
A glimmer of hope appears in Hoseok's eyes as he looks up at Yn, "Really?"
"Of course, I love this kind of stuff," She smiles down at him and he can't help but send her a small smile back, "We should probably start by cleaning some of this up."
Hoseok nods in agreement, knowing that was probably the best course of action and then pauses as he sits up, "Why are you home?"
"What?" Yn turns back to him from gathering some shreds of red paper, "You don't like that I came back early?"
Hoseok frowns with his arm crossed, looking very much like a toddler throwing a tantrum, "No, of course not, I just wanted to try and do your gift while you were gone."
"Well, that's very sweet of you," Yn says, leaning down to kiss the top of his head, "Jongho offered to finish the last few details of our project so I got to leave early."
Hoseok's eyes narrow, "Jongho?"
"Hobi, don't be jelly, he's literally married," Yn laughs, returning back to the rather large task of cleaning.
Hoseok sighs yet again and slowly begins to gather trash scattered around him, "I know, I'm sorry."
"It's fine my love, and remember, you're practically married to Yoongi," Yn says with a laugh.
"I am not!" Hoseok says indignantly, dropping the trash he had gathered as he quickly stands, catching Yn's wrists in his hands, "You are the only one I want to marry."
Yn smiles at him, love practically beaming out of her eyes, "Is that a proposal?"
"If you want it to be," Hoseok says after a moment of silence.
Yn considers this and then shakes her head, "I think I want one a bit more planned out than that. But nothing too big or public, okay?"
It's then that Hoseok laughs, quickly wrapping Yn in a tight hug before letting her go to focus on cleaning up his mess.
Luckily the mess looked worse than it actually was and Hoseok and Yn were able to get it all cleaned up pretty quickly. The larger pieces of paper and wrap stacked up and the rest stuffed into a garbage bag to be disposed of later.
"Alright now what?" Hoseok asks, waiting patiently for Yn to take the lead.
"We wrap," Yn says with a determined nod, "Let's start with the easiest ones, the smaller boxes, I'll show you how to do it in a really easy way, okay?"
Hoseok nods and his face becomes serious, paying close attention as Yn shows him how to carefully fold and tape the wrapping paper onto a small box.
The pair move through the several boxes quickly, and then move onto some other oddly shaped items and a few round items before Yn picks up the last one that had been hidden beneath the rest.
"This is the last one!" Yn says with a smile as she sets it on the floor between her and Hoseok.
"NO!" Hoseok yells, grabbing the box in alarm and hiding it behind his back, "YOu can't see this one!"
"Why?" Yn asks, brow furrowed in confusion.
"It's for you, did you see the cover?" Hoseok asks, worried clearly in his features.
Yn shakes her head, "I say that it said something but i didn't read it, but Hobi."
"No, I want you to be surprised when we exchange gifts," Hoseok shakes his head emphatically.
"Okay," Yn says, "I can close my eyes and help you if you want, or you can try and wrap it yourself?"
Hoseok chews his lip as he thinks, eyes on Yn as he thinks. Yn waits patiently.
"I think I will try to do it myself," He finally decides, clearly unsure of his decision.
"Okay," Yn smiles and slowly stands up, "Let me know if you need help, and remember, we can do whatever we want, we don't really need to wait until Christmas Day to exchange gifts."
Hoseok nods slowly, processing the information as Yn leaves the room, heading to the bedroom to give Hoseok some space.
