We finished eating and I put the dishes in the sink. I didn't feel like doing the dishes. We left to the JYP building. We checked in and then waited for them at their practice room. They were currently practicing their debut song. I watched and I was amazed at their performance.

As soon as they finished, they came up to us.

"Hey, Lyla and Yura!" Jackson greeted us.

"Hi!" Yura said and I waved.

"I think you guys need a towel or something because you smell." I said, pinching my nose. They laughed and went to get the bottles of water and towels.

"Christmas is coming soon, right?" Jackson asked. Wait, shoot I didn't realize!

"I just realized right now!" I exclaimed.

"Well, today staff are going to decorate the whole JYP building!" Yugyeom said excitedly.

"How about we go buy presents?" Jr. asked.

"Oooh can we do secret santa? It'll be so fun!" Yura yelled.

"Sure." JB said. "I have an idea." He got paper and wrote everyone's name on it. He then gave us each little paper and we wrote what we wanted on it. I didn't know what I really wanted, but I guess I could use a pair of shoes. I wrote down pair of shoes and folded the paper in half and sealed it. Once I seal it, I put it into Jackson's snapback and waited for the others to finish up.

"Great!" I said giving a thumbs up. Now, we draw. I put my hand into the hat and draw out a piece of paper.  Yura. Yay! I already know exactly what to get for her. Video games. She's been into League of Legends lately so I should buy her a card so that she can buy stuff. I should also get her a chocolate and, this might seem childish, but I want to get a friendship necklace for her.

"Hey, who'd you get?" Yura whispered to me. I quickly hid the piece of paper and responded.

"It's a secret!" I said and she pouted at me.

"Fine, if you don't show me I won't show you!" She said playfully and walked away.

"Alright, so everyone got their person, right?" Jr. asked.

"Ne!" We answer.

"Let's exchange presents on Christmas which is in like three days, okay? Can we exchange presents at your dorm?" Jr. asks.

"Sure." I said. We waved goodbye and we go back to our dorm.

"Hey, don't you think we should decorate? I mean, we should be festive, you know?" Yura asks.

"True. Let's shop for decorations now because we still have three more days left until the gift exchange." I suggest.

"Sure, but lets also get a tree, too." She says and we go out.

We arrive at a decoration store. As we opened the door, our mouths opened in awe. There were glittery streamers hanging from the ceiling and paper snowflakes dangling everywhere. In the center of the store, there was a huge Christmas tree with ornaments and lights all over.

"Oh my" Yura said.

"I know, right?" I answered still staring.

"Well standing here isn't going to do anything! Let's get to shopping!" Yura said.

"Keep in mind that our budget is $60 (I did it in American dollars cuz I don't really know all this won stuff) so calm down." I informed her.

"Okayyyy" she said looking at the gingerbread houses. "Hey, could we get that? Maybe we can build it in teams and see which team builds the best one!"

"That's a good idea, but how much is it?"

"$7 each"

"Sure, but let's only have two teams so we can afford everything else."

We continued shopping and went home. When we went in, we started decorating. Since we didn't have enough money for decorations, we bought some paper to make our own snowflakes. We also bought a wreath, streamers, and a tree. We managed to get a big and artificial tree because we don't really want to buy a new one every year. Plus I don't want to kill trees.

"Should we put up the tree?" I asked.

"Yeah! Let's." She says and we out it up. We put ornaments on it and a carpet around it for the presents. We then realized we forgot the star so we put a Santa hat on the top instead. But seriously, how did we forget the star. We spend forty minutes doing this and the tree looks AMAZING. I take a picture and post it on Instagram.

"Ahhh I'm tiredd." Yura says. I look at the clock and it says 12:32.

"Woah, it's already that late??"

"I know. Let's finish this tomorrow." She says yawning.

"Kay. I call the shower first!" I yell, running to the bathroom with my clothes.

"Ugh, that's not fair whatever I was planning on letting you go first anyway." She playfully says and walks to her room.

The next morning-

"WAKE UP LYLA IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE EVE!!!" I wake up to Yura yelling and shaking me to wake up.

"What...?" I ask, rubbing my eyes. The room was still dark so I was confused.

"Let's buy presents today! I can't wait!" She says enthusiastically.

"Okay, but it's 4 a.m. in the morning. Chill."

"I know, but isn't this exciting?"

"Yeah, but I kinda need my sleep right now or I'm not going to have energy."

"Okay, but get ready by twelve. We're going SHOPPING!!" She yells as she goes back to her room. What was that all about? Oh well, I'm too tired for this. I set an alarm for 9 a.m. and go back to sleep.

beeeeeeeep beeeeeeeep *smack*

I wake up to the sound of my alarm and I smack it. I open my eyes slowly because the sunlight streaming through the windows was too bright for my just-woke-up eyes to handle. I go on my phone and check through my social media. Oh, Hazel sent me something on Skype.

Hazel: Hey Lyla! I'm at my dorm! I finally made it!

I sent a congrats and got up to finally get ready. I put on a baggy sweater and sweatpants because I didn't really feel like wearing tight everyday clothes. I tied my silky, black hair into a ponytail, put my bracelet on, and go into the kitchen.

"Wassup Yura!" I said. Yura was cooking pancakes.

"Yo" She replied flipping a pancake.

"Woah, where did you learn those skills? Teach me please." I said and sat down.

"Oh, that? I just had an urge to try and flip a pancake and a Christmas miracle happened and it actually worked." She said slipping the pancakes onto the plates.
