"Hyun, come look." Mrs. Kim whispers as she peeks into her son's room.

Mr. Kim does so and looks at the young lovebirds as they lay together on his bed, Maddie's head resting on Taehyung's chest as his arms are wrapped around her. From the looks of it, they're extremely comfortable with one another and this isn't their first time sleeping together. And Mrs. Kim only assumes they're tired because of coming home so late.

"See, he gets it from me." Mr. Kim whispers to his wife.

Mrs. Kim looks at her husband, raising an eyebrow.

"He did not, but they are too cute." Mrs. Kim says. "I love Maddie. I'm glad they're finally doing this. I know he makes her happy as she does him."

For years Mrs. Kim referred to Maddie as the daughter she never had in secrecy. Not only did she like Maddie for who she was, but she also saw how happy she made her son. He used to be so lonely and quiet until Maddie sort of opened him up.

He still struggles with it a bit, but if the problem is severe enough she knows that he'll come to his parents or Maddie.

"Me too. It's like only yesterday she was begging me to read over her essays." Mr. Kim chuckles.

His gaze shifts from Taehyung to scanning around his room. It's pretty clean from what he can see but what catches his eye is a golden wrapper on the nightstand next to him. He almost starts to gasp but catches himself. Instead, he presses his lips together and closes his eyes, letting out the biggest exhale through his nose as he closes his son's door.

"We should get started on breakfast, it's already 8." He says as his wife looks at him confused.

"You're right let's go."

They leave the area and go to make breakfast in the kitchen, happy for their son.

Ziora, Taehyung, and Maddie all sit on the floor as their parents sit on the couch, opening Christmas gifts.

"Aww, thank you Taehyung." Mrs. Moore says as she holds her new water bottle. She lost it at work and never found it during Thanksgiving, Taehyung overheard and bought her one.

That was the last present for one of the adults to open. They all opened gifts from their kids and gifts they got each other, which the young one would describe the gifts as 'adult shit'. Luckily, it's time for them to open their gifts and they all go under the tree.

"Little big kids I tell you. All 3 of them." Mr. Kim says watching them look for their gifts.

"And you know if Khalid was here he'd be acting most childish." Mr. Moore says, cracking up with Mr. Kim.

They all find their stuff and put their things in piles. Ziora says she'll open her stuff first and does so. The first gift that she grabs is from Maddie. She gasps when she opens the box. It's pastel pink Crocs along with the same water bottle her mom got, just a smaller version. The second box is just charms for them, along with some fuzzy socks and incense that she needed more of.

"How did you know I needed this?" Ziora asks.

"I know you're almost done with your training, and I asked Mom what you're gonna need for work when you start. I'm so proud of you." Maddie says as her cousin hugs her.
