                   Jeon Jungkook

I sigh heavily as I run my hands through my hair.

I'm exhausted, and I truly hate the cold. But do you wanna know what I hate even more than that?

Hearing the same Christmas songs being played over, and over, and OVER again.

I walk over to my window and look out to see people singing in the street.

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

I shake my head. Christmas has got to be my least favorite holiday.

I mean, the streets are always so busy, the stores are always crowded, my family always calls and pretends that they care, and the worst part, taking time off of work to do absolutely nothing for two weeks.

I love work, and I love to be busy. It's productive...watching T.V all alone in your Christmas pajamas, is not.

"Hey, Jungkook."

I turn around to see Taehyung smiling at me while standing in my door way.

"Have you forgotten how to knock?" I ask tiredly.

He pouts, "Sorry, Grinch. I forgot that it's Christmas time so you're going to be even more grouchy than usual for the next few days."

I roll my eyes, "What do you need?"

He walks towards my desk and happily sets a single piece of paper on it.

"What's that?" I ask.

He shrugs with a small smile, "Ohh nothing, just your best friends Christmas list! Aka me!"

"Ohh my gosh Tae, do I look like Santa to you? And last I checked, I also didn't look like your Mother, or your Father, and you also don't look like a child."

He pouts harshly and crosses his arms.

"Yeah, never mind that last part then," I mumble as I walk towards my desk.

"Jungkook! Must you spend every year like this? I want to make this Christmas so much better for you, you are literally the only person around that hates it. Even here in the building everyone is celebrating!"

I sigh heavily, "Yes, I know, it's so loud." I grab my long Jacket off the rack along with my scarf.

A holiday is just a holiday. It's really no big deal. Why do the most?

"Have you even called your parents?" Tae asks.

I give him a quick side glance in silence.

"Jeon Jungkook, you are so bad. You're on the naughty list!"

"Ah- What?! How?!"

"Go shopping, now. You will buy a nice gift for your parents, and you're closest friends, I BETTER have one, because what I got you is spectacular!"

I rest my hands on my hips, "Taehyung. Last year, you got me a fifty dollar gift card for amazon, and fuzzy fucking socks with bunnies on them."

"Aish Jk this year I'm taking it seriously! I just wanted to see your reaction at the time," he giggles. "Was still worth it.."

I rub my temples and grab my phone off the desk, "I really could care less about-"

"Yeah yeah yeah, doesn't matter. You're parents are extremely kind these days, you just say you're too busy to see them. Go shopping, Jungkook."

"But I-"

"Nope. Shop, or you're getting the silent treatment!"

My jaw drops in offense, "During Christmas, Kim Taehyung? Wow, ignoring your closest friends. Tsk tsk tsk-"
