The palace was a festive wonderland, adorned with twinkling lights, garlands, and a towering Christmas tree that sparkled with ornaments of all colors. Laughter and joy filled the air as Felix and Hyunjin prepared for their annual Christmas celebration with friends and family.
The aroma of roasted turkey and freshly baked cookies wafted through the halls as the children—Yongjin, Hyena, Felicia, and Hyunsoo—helped their parents decorate the tree with their favorite ornaments, adding personal touches that reflected their personalities. They giggled as they hung their hand-crafted decorations, filled with pride.
"Look at this one! It's a snowman I made in art class!" Hyunsoo exclaimed, holding up a slightly lopsided ornament.
"It's perfect!" Hyunjin replied, kissing the top of his son's head. "Every ornament tells a story."
As evening approached, guests began to arrive. The sounds of cheerful greetings and the rustle of wrapping paper filled the air. Chan and Changbin entered with Hannah wearing smiles on their faces.
Seungmin and Jeongin followed, bringing their daughter Yuna and son Joon, who were eager to join in the festivities. Wooyoung and San brought their adorable twins, Haeun and Hyunjae, both in their teenage years, and they squealed in delight at the sight of the towering tree.
Yeonjun and Soobin were next, their son Juno excitedly carrying a bag of treats. "We brought cookies!" Juno announced proudly, and the kids cheered, eager to dive into the goodies.
Hongjoong, Seongwha, Yunho, Yeosang, Jongo, Mingi, and Hoseok, who all arrived together.
Chaeryoung joined them shortly after, bringing her own festive treats to share. Taehyung and Jungkook rounded out the group with their children, Jiwon and Jisoo, who were just as enthusiastic about the celebration.
As the evening wore on, the festive atmosphere intensified. Felix and Hyunjin welcomed everyone, ensuring that everyone was comfortable and happy. The delicious scents from the kitchen mixed with the sounds of laughter and chatter, creating a warm ambiance that wrapped around them like a cozy blanket.
Once everyone was settled, it was time for the annual family meal. They gathered around the dining table laden with food, sharing stories and enjoying each other's company. The children darted around the room, playing games and engaging in snowball fights that spilled from indoors to the garden.
After dinner, it was time for the annual family photo. Everyone gathered in front of the grand fireplace, with the teenagers at the forefront, their faces glowing with joy. Yongjin stood proudly beside Hyena, Felicia, and Hyunsoo, while Jiho and Mirae posed with their parents, Minho and Jisung, who lived in the palace.
Seungmin and Jeongin's kids, Yuna and Joon (not Hyunsoo's crush), joined the chaos, along with Chan's children, Soo-jin and Minjae, who all beamed at the camera. Wooyoung and San's twins, Haeun and Hyunjae, added to the excitement, while Yeonjun, Soobin, Taehyung, and Jungkook rounded out the group with their children.
"Say cheese!" Chan called, lifting his camera. The room filled with a chorus of laughter and shouts of "Merry Christmas!" as they all posed together, the warmth of friendship and family radiating around them.
Once the picture was taken, Hyunjin pulled Felix close, a soft smile on his face. "This is what Christmas is all about—family and love."
Felix nodded, feeling a rush of gratitude. "I wouldn't trade this for anything."
As the night wore on, the palace was filled with the warmth of love, laughter, and cherished memories—an unforgettable Christmas surrounded by those who mattered most.
