Taehyung POV


It's been a week since my friends came home for winter break and already Jennie has them wrapped around her finger

While the girls all want to be her best friends, the boys all have taken different roles

Jimin seems to be her comic relief but always keeps his eye on her to make sure she's safe, Jungkook likes to read with her and discuss books and history, and Jin has taken the role of her protector; if Jennie's thoughts are sad, he cheers her up (usually with Jimin's help), if she is scared, he shows her she's safe, and if they're happy, he makes sure they stay that way

Jennie and I have grown closer in our relationship as friends and as mates. Our physical relationship hasn't changed much, I still hold her every night as she falls asleep and we share an occasional kiss. We can't seem to keep our hands off of each other, we are always cuddling or holding hands

Christmas is in one week and I'm still trying to figure out what to get Jennie. I know she's getting me a present, because I keep seeing her and Lisa sneaking off together; last week when I tried to open a package that came in the mail, Jennie almost tackled me to get it away from me. I tried to get some help from Jisoo and Rose about what to get Jennie, but they both think it will be good for me to do this on my own. Lisa has a strict "no helping with presents" policy because of her visions, although it seems she's broken that for Jennie

Right now I'm on my way home from work. I had to go back to the hospital a couple days after all of my friends got here, and I'm glad I didn't have to leave Jennie home alone. I've cut my hours to what a normal doctor would work so that I can be with Jennie more. The chief of surgery didn't mind because I've been covering shifts for others for a long time, and I've never called in sick or had a day off

My phone rings breaking me from my thoughts

"Hello"

"Hi Taehyung" Jennie

"Hi sweetheart, what can I help you with?"

"Well Jimin is insisting that we have a movie night tonight, and apparently no movie night is complete without pizza. Lisa ordered from the place in town, but we wanted to know if you could pick it up"

"Of course. I should be there in about 15 minutes. What movies are we watching? Please tell me that Jimin didn't pick" I groan and I hear Jimin's muffled "hey!" in the background which makes Jennie laugh. Just the sound of her giggle brightens my face

"Yes, he did pick. He's keeping his choices a secret, though. The only hint he'll give is that I need to be educated, whatever that means"

"Well with Jimin, we may never know" Jimin protests again and this time, I laugh along with Jennie

"I'm coming into Forks now, so I will be home in a few minutes"

"Okay...don't forget my pizza. Peanut is hungry" I frown wondering when she last ate, but I brush it off

"Well we can't have that. I'll see you in a little while...with your pizza"

She laughs "Okay thank you"

"You're welcome, love. Goodbye"

"Bye"

I'm surprised when I get Jennie's order at Pizza Palace because it's 3 big boxes. She's one human! How is she going to eat this much?

I pay the man quickly and hurry to my car. I don't want it to get cold before I get home

The house is dark when I pull in, and I can hear all of their voices in the back yard. They're all sitting around the fire telling ghost stories when I come around the side of the house. Jennie is bundled up like an eskimo with a mug of what smells like hot chocolate in her hands. Her nose is pink from the cold and she looks adorable

"Taehyung!" Jennie shouts out smiling and then blushes embarrassed at her outburst

I grin at her and set her dinner on the bench before sliding on the couch beside her

"Hello love" I smile and kiss her nose

"Hi, did you bring my pizza?"

"Of course. Are you planning on sharing with Kuku? That's a lot of food"

"No way! He can't have any pizza, he's already chubby because someone keeps feeding him bacon" She glares at Jisoo who smiles and waves at us "Besides I had to get breadsticks and the dessert pizza was on sale"

I smile at her and her stomach growls

"Come on guys, lets go feed the human" Rose says and Jimin jumps up in a very Lisa fashion

"Yes! We can start the movie!" He runs in ahead of us and I just shake my head

Taking the pizza boxes in one hand and Jennie's waist in the other, we walk inside
