The crisp winter air greeted them as they stepped out of the car, the mall bustling with holiday cheer. Twinkling fairy lights adorned every corner, and a giant Christmas tree stood proudly at the center of the plaza, its ornaments glinting under the morning sun. Felix clung to Hyunjin's arm, his heart fluttering with excitement and nervousness.

"Are they here yet?" Jisung asked, rubbing his gloved hands together for warmth.

"There!" Jeongin pointed, his face lighting up. The rest of their pack stood near the tree, bundled up in cozy scarves and coats. Felix's eyes immediately landed on Chan, his broad shoulders and warm smile as familiar as home.

Without a second thought, Felix let go of Hyunjin and dashed toward them. "Channie!" he called, his voice carrying a mix of joy and relief.

Chan turned just in time to catch Felix as he threw himself into his arms. "Hey, Lixie," Chan murmured, wrapping the omega in a firm, protective hug. "Missed me?"

Felix nodded, burying his face into Chan's chest. "So much," he whispered, the alpha's scent calming every lingering trace of his recent heat. He pulled back just enough to look up at Chan, his eyes shining. "Thank you for taking care of me."

Chan ruffled his hair with a soft chuckle and kissed his cheek softly. "Always, sunshine."

Before Felix could step away, Minho swooped in, his arms snaking around Felix's waist. "What about me, hmm? Don't I get a hug too?" he teased, his voice playful but his eyes tender.

Felix laughed, slightly flustered, as he hugged Minho tightly. "I missed you too, Minho hyung."

Minho leaned down, his lips brushing against Felix's ear. "Good, because I'd be jealous if you didn't," he whispered, earning a giggle from Felix and a mock glare from Chan.

One by one, Felix moved to hug Seungmin and Changbin, who both welcomed him with their unique brands of affection--Seungmin's quiet warmth and Changbin's boisterous energy. "Lix, you're glowing," Changbin said, spinning him around in a dramatic hug. "Was it my absence that made you so radiant?"

Felix playfully smacked Changbin's arm. "Stop teasing!" he laughed, though his cheeks turned pink. Finally, he leaned up to press a quick kiss to each of their cheeks, a gesture of gratitude and love that left them all smiling.

...

Once reunited, the group decided to split up for efficiency. Chan suggested the pairs: Felix with Changbin; Minho and Jeongin; Jisung with Chan; and Seungmin with Hyunjin.

"Let's meet back here in three hours," Chan said. "Don't get lost."

Felix nodded eagerly, his excitement outweighing his lingering shyness. As they separated, he found himself walking beside Changbin, who immediately reached out to take his hand. Felix hesitated for a moment before letting their fingers intertwine, the alpha's warmth grounding him.

"Don't look so shy," Changbin teased, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. "You're adorable when you blush, but I might just keep holding your hand forever."

Felix laughed softly, shaking his head. "You're impossible."

"And you love it," Changbin countered with a wink.

Their first stop was the library, where Felix wandered through the aisles with wide eyes. He picked out an art book filled with vivid, detailed illustrations. "This is perfect for Hyunjin," he said softly, running his fingers over the glossy cover. "He'll love it."

"He'll love it because it's from you," Changbin said, watching Felix with a fond smile. "Let's get it."

Next, they stumbled upon a photo booth tucked near the arcade. Changbin dragged Felix inside.

"Come on, Lix," Changbin said, pulling him down onto the bench. "Let's make some memories."

The two of them made funny faces, playful poses, and one particularly sweet shot where Changbin kissed Felix's temple, making the omega laugh. As the strip of photos printed, Felix tucked them into his pocket, already knowing Changbin's gift.

At the filming store, Felix found a sleek camera for Seungmin. "He's always talking about taking better photos," Felix said, carefully inspecting the model. "This will be perfect."

Changbin grinned. "Thoughtful as always."

Felix's next purchase was a high-quality makeup kit for Jeongin and his aunt, since she always loved makeup as well. The memory of Jeongin's excitement in the bathroom this morning brought a smile to his face. "He'll be so happy," Felix murmured, imagining the younger omega's delighted reaction.

For Jisung, Felix chose a karaoke set with a microphone. "He's always singing, even at home," Felix said, holding the box close.

Did I just call their house my house?

Huh....

Felix smiled at his thought and looked at the items in his cart. "This will make him so happy."

As they passed a pet shop, Felix couldn't resist picking up new cat toys for Minho. "For your fur babies," he said whispering with a grin as the Minho in his imagination was watching him with a content smile.

Finally, Felix stopped at a key-making kiosk. He handed over a copy of his apartment key, his heart racing with the significance of the gesture. Alongside it, he bought Chan a compression shirt--his cheeks heating as he thought of Chan's reaction.

"Scientific reasons, huh?" Changbin teased when he saw the shirt. Felix hid his face in his hands, laughing nervously.

...

By the time they regrouped near the tree, Felix's bags were full, and his heart felt lighter than it had in weeks. As they waited for the others to arrive, Changbin leaned closer, his voice low. "Today's been fun, hasn't it?"

Felix nodded, looking up at him with a shy smile. "Thank you, Binnie. For everything."

Changbin's grin softened. "Anything for you, sunshine."

The day wasn't over, but Felix already knew this Christmas would be unforgettable.
