You head the up the stairs, juggling boxes and bags in your arms. Tonight you're meeting the boys to celebrate the holiday with a little party. It's been so long since you've seen them since they've been on tour; you're excited to spend time with them.
As you shift a few boxes to free your hand, the door to Jin's apartment opens. "Ah! Y/N, do you need help?" Jungkook hurries over to you, relieving you of your burden. "Hobi-hyung sent me out to look for you. Everyone's been waiting."
"Sorry," you murmur, holding the door open for Jungkook. "My GPS freaked out on my way over here."
"Hey," Jungkook calls as he enters Jin's apartment. "Y/N's here."
"Y/N!!" The boys all cheer when they see you, bright grins lighting up their handsome faces. Jimin jumps up from his spot on the couch and wraps you up in a warm hug.
You return Jimin's hug, feeling a sense of warmth flood your chest. He takes your hand and leads you to the couch, sitting as close to you as he can. Jimin is very affectionate, and his touches are something that always bring you comfort. You lean against him, absently drawing patterns on the back of his hand with your thumb.
"Now that Y/N's here, can we eat?" Jungkook asks, already getting up from his perch on the loveseat and making his way to the kitchen. Jin chuckles and follows after him.
"Let's eat," Namjoon says. At their leader's command, the boys all file into the dining room; with you bringing up the rear.
"Take your pick, Y/N," Jin says, smiling at you as he holds out a plate of freshly fried chicken.
"Wow, Jin," you grin, eyeing the golden chicken; trying to find the best piece. "Everything looks great! How'd you know I've been wanting chicken?"
"Y/N, sit next to me!" Hoseok waves you over frantically, patting the chair beside him.
"Ah, I want to sit next to Y/N, too!" Jungkook pouts, a whine slipping into his voice.
Once everyone's situated and comfortably seated, Jin rises from his seat. "Now that everyone's here, I'd like to lead everyone in prayer before we eat. Everyone, please bow your heads." Beside you, Jungkook snickers as he slips his eyes closed. You nudge his leg with your foot as you bite back a smile. Jin continues, ignoring you. "I'd like to ask for blessings over this food, and blessings over everyone here. Please protect us, keep us safe. Thank you for letting us all meet again."
When you open your eyes, you catch sight of Namjoon looking around awkwardly. After a moment of laughter, you and the boys dig in. Soon, the only sounds are the crunching of chicken and the hums of contentment as everyone eats.
Once everyone has stuffed themselves with chicken, your friend-group migrates back to the living room. You squeeze in beside Yoongi on the loveseat and throw your legs across his lap. "Now what?" you ask.
"Oh!" Taehyung shoots up from his seat. "Let's go caroling!"
"Sounds good to me." Jimin smiles.
"Okay." Namjoon stands then, quickly falling into his role as mediator. "Does everyone want to go caroling?"
The room echoes with a low chorus of "yesss". Soon after, you and the boys are strolling through Jin's apartment complex singing Christmas carols. It's gotten a bit colder, so you're wearing an extra jacket that Jimin had brought. He holds your hand as you walk, his sweet voice makes your cheeks flush with joy.
As the boys sing "All I Want for Christmas is You", they all point to you. They're getting rowdier with each new song. People have actually started to step out into their balconies to investigate the commotion.
Upon seeing that they now have an audience, the boys immediately straighten up, going into full performance-mode. They sing a few more songs as a group until Jungkook steps forward.
When the first notes of "O Holy Night" ring out, it's as if everyone listening simultaneously sucks in a breath. Jungkook's voice is so full of emotion that you find yourself getting choked up. Namjoon notices and puts an arm around your shoulders. You lean into him, smiling though your eyes are misty with tears.
When Jungkook finishes singing, everyone cheers. Kookie beams, sweeping into a low bow. The rest of the boys follow suit as you clap along with the audience.
You make one more round through another nearby apartment building before heading back to Jin's. Once everyone's inside, Hoseok is tasked with distributing everyone's presents. By the time all the presents are passed out, you have a small pile at your feet.
"Everyone, open mine first," Jin says, smiling.
You find the gift with Jin's name on the tag and carefully peel away the wrapping paper. Inside the small box is a pair of earrings. They're heavy and beautiful. "Oh, Jin," you murmur, smiling over at him. "These must've been so expensive!"
"Don't worry, Y/N," Yoongi grins. "We're good for it, and you're our best friend. You deserve to have us all spoil you."
"Wait." You pause in the middle of putting on your new earrings. Your heart skips a beat as you come to a realization. "You all got me something expensive?"
The boys laugh. "Open mine next, Y/N." Jimin hands you a gift bag. When you see what's inside, you look up at him, a smile slowly spreading across your face. He giggles, leaning into you. Jimin got you a new phone. "I remembered you kept saying you were having problems with yours. I know yours is an older phone, so I got you the latest model. I hope that's okay."
"Jimin," you murmur, shaking your head for a moment before throwing your arms around him. "I love you!"
Jimin laughs, returning your hug.
You open up the rest of your presents, each one more extravagant than the last. The boys must've spent a fortune on you, but they seem to be overjoyed with how happy you are.
When it comes time to open their gifts from you, the boys are buzzing with excitement. "Y/N got us something, so I feel really anxious," Taehyung says. When the boys open their presents, they laugh. You bought them custom onesies.
"These are so cute!" Namjoon chuckles. "We'll wear these on our next tour."
Later, you and the boys head out to the beach to have a bonfire. You huddle together on the sand, roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. "I love you guys," you murmur, resting your head against Yoongi's shoulder. "I'm so happy we're friends."
"We'll always be friends." Hoseok grins.
"We'll always come running when you need us, love." Jimin takes your hand.
"Merry Christmas, everyone," Jungkook murmurs.
Merry Christmas, y'all!! I hope y'all have a great day surrounded by people that love you! What'd you get for Christmas? Let me know!
