37.

"Hyung, wake up! It's Christmas!" Seungpo shouted as his fists pounded against his older brother's chest. Seungcheol groaned and turned his head to the side, pushing it deeper into his pillow.

"Oppa, get up already! Mom said that we can't open presents until everyone is up!" Ji-na said.

"Wake up Jeonghan first," Seungcheol whined. "He's still asleep too. I'll be up in a few minutes."

"I'm already awake though," Jeonghan spoke up. Seungcheol's eyes blinked open in surprise, and he sighed when he saw Jeonghan hovering over him next to his sister. He pushed himself up slowly so Seungpo wouldn't fall off and sat upright, grabbing his phone to check the time.

"Just let me brush my teeth really quickly," Seungcheol decided, running into the bathroom and closing the door behind him. He wet his toothbrush, put toothpaste on it, and wet it again, lazily brushing his teeth for a few minutes before spitting the toothpaste out and washing his mouth. He dried his face and exited the bathroom.

"Alright, I'm ready now," Seungcheol announced as he walked back to the other three. He held out his arms, and Seungpo eagerly ran into them.

Seungcheol lifted Seungpo up and carried the smaller boy out of his and Jeonghan's room. Jeonghan and Ji-na chattered behind him excitedly about what they were going to have breakfast and what presents they were hoping to get. The four of them walked down the stairs and into the family room, where the adults were waiting on the couch.

"It's about time," Jeonghan's mother teased. "We were beginning to think that something had happened to you."

"Sorry, I'm just a deep sleeper," Seungcheol responded, grinning sheepishly at her. He put Seungpo down and sat on the end of the couch, watching as Jeonghan, Ji-na, and Seungpo ran towards the Christmas tree excitedly.

"Want a cookie?" Jeonghan's father asked.

He picked up a plate of cookies and offered them to Seungcheol. Seungcheol nodded and took a cookie off of the plate, smiling gratefully. Jeonghan and Seungpo had baked several batches of cookies the night before, and like all treats made by Jeonghan, they were delicious. Seungcheol took a large bite of the cookie and hummed approvingly. He shoved the rest of the cookie in his mouth and grabbed another one.

"Come open presents with us, hyung!" Seungpo called cutely. Seungcheol quickly stuffed one final cookie in his mouth and walked over, sitting between Jeonghan and Seungpo. Jeonghan wrinkled his nose.

"Your brother is disgusting, you know?" Jeonghan told Ji-na. He sighed. "Eat in small bites, Seungcheol-ah."

"Who are you, my mother?" Seungcheol retorted, voice muffled by the cookie in his mouth.

"No, but I'm not someone who wants you to choke on that cookie you're eating," Jeonghan responded.

"It's not my fault that you make really good cookies," Seungcheol replied after swallowing loudly. Jeonghan sighed.

"Alright, I get it, it's my fault, not yours," Jeonghan said, rolling his eyes. Seungcheol nodded.

"Glad you realize it. Ow!" Seungcheol yelped as Jeonghan hit him on the arm.

"Sorry, my hand slipped." Jeonghan smiled innocently at Seungcheol. Seungcheol pouted.

"That's not very Christmas-y of you. Isn't Christmas about kindness?" Seungcheol asked.

"I don't understand what you mean. I'm practically the embodiment of kindness," Jeonghan responded. Seungcheol rolled his eyes.

"Kindness, my butt."

"What was that? Maybe I shouldn't let you have any more of the cookies that I made..."

"Nothing! I didn't say anything! Nothing at all!"

"That's what I thought."
