christmas special

Not every Christmas is joyful and happy. There are some who could do without it. Including me. Hello, my name is Jeon Jungkook and I'll be telling you my story. Let's go back in time to few years ago, where it all
began.

'Hurry Jungkook! I want to be at the mall before Santa gets there! We can be first in line!'

I allowed myself to be pulled by my friend. I was confused as to why he wanted to go see this Santa guy. I mean, for one, we were highschool kids. Second, everyone knows Santa isn't real. By the time you see your dad dress up as Santa each and every year and your mother furiously shopping and preparing food for Christmas dinner, you get tired after a while. I wouldn't know because my parents died when I was eleven but I remember dreading every holiday season, especially Christmas. I live with Taehyung's family as an adopted son. Well, more like a pet. Mr and Mrs. Kim treat me well but they act as if I'm not their sometimes. They usually make me clean the house every spring and cook almost every morning. I don't complain though. I have a nice warm bed to sleep in and they have never laid a hand on me. I love having Taehyung around. He's the only thing that brings color to my black and white world. I wish he would notice how much I care for him. I know he'd never feel the same.

"Jungkook! Take a picture of me with Santa!"

I sighed as I grabbed my phone from my pocket and positioned it on the cheerful boy hugging the (obviously fake) Santa sitting in a wooden chair. I took the picture and showed Taehyung. He smiled and grabbed my phone from my hand. "Hey!"

"Now its your turn to take a picture. Come on, smile for the camera!"

I sighed and shuffled to the Santa guy.

"Say cheese!"

As we walked home I felt a drop of snow fall on my hand.

"Its snowing!" Taehyung hollered happily jumping up and down like a little kid.

I couldn't help but chuckle and look up as well. I felt two big snowflakes fall on my face. "Gross." I said wiping my face with my sleeve. Taehyung looked at me as if I'd just called him a mean word. "Its not gross! Its beautiful! Can't you see?"

"Not as beautiful as you."

"What?"

"I said, I don't see what you mean." I laughed nervously.

"Jungkook. Imagine the clouds way up there preparing for Christmas." He pointed to the sky. "They work hard every single year to bring the first snowfall every December. They craft each and every snowflake so perfect and delicately so that it can bring beauty to every Christmas. Even though us humans can't see it, you have to admire the thought they put into each and every flake. They appreciate us, so why can't you appreciate them?"

We went to a party the day after which happened to be Christmas eve. I wasn't much of a sociable person so I tended to stay in the corners and stuff my face with sweets but this time that wasn't the case. Taehyung insisted on coming and dancing to random songs that were playing and he even left his friend, Jimin, alone to come join my party of sadness. Thank the skies that they weren't playing that annoying Christmas music. If I had to listen to "Rudolph the Rednosed Rain deer" one more time I was going to cut off my ears.

"What's wrong?" he asked rubbing my back slowly.

I leaned into the touch and he grabbed my hand looking into my eyes. I looked up immediately and blushed at the contact.
