First off, I'm sorry for the late update!!
I know it's been so long and stuff has happened, so....
But if I wanna release a Christmas Special for you guys, I need to update every day or sometimes twice a day now!

U N E D I T E D  (Because I'm lazy.)

Riiiiiiiiing!

Everyone stood up and cheered, smiling with wide grins as the loud buzz of chatter suddenly took over the school.

"Have a good Christmas break!" Shouted the teacher from his desk as his gaze was fixated on phone.

Everybody exited the classroom and, despite the loud and cheerful mood, Taehyung felt apprehension.

His stomach twisted and turned at the thought of living with his father, without any school, for a good two and a half weeks.

Every year, Christmas break was always one of the worst times.

One time he broke three ribs two fats before Christmas.

Another time he snapped his arm on Christmas Eve.

Another time, Taehyung's father had choked him to the point where he was unconscious. But when he did wake him, a massive bruise painted his neck from the brute force his father had used.

Let's just say Christmas was never fit for the Kim Household and never would be.

Taehyung threw his bag over his shoulder as he scouted the school halls for his best friend, Jimin.

Maybe he'd be able to hang around with his best friend for a week or so?

Finally spotting the pink haired boy, Taehyung pushes through the many other high schoolers to get to his friend.

Someone accidentally jostled one of his hidden bruises with their elbow as he tried moving past, and he winced.

Finally stopping in front of his best friend, Taehyung exhaled softly.

"Hey Chim." He spoke and Jimin looked up from his phone, probably reading a 'fanfiction' or whatever he called them.

"Hi Tae Tae~" Jimin's bright smile lifted Taehyung's mood by the slightest bit. The pink haired always been a form of morphine for Tae, his smile able to relieve certain amounts of stress, his hugs able to help him calm down and just Jimin's existence made the silver haired content.

"I was wondering if I'm able to bunk with you at your house over the break?" Tae said hopefully, buying his lip as he readjusted his sweater sleeves so they wouldn't roll up too far.

Jimin sighed and slowly shook his head, his face turning grim.

"The parents are taking Jin and I out to France for two weeks." He said quietly, Taehyung also sighed.

"Okay."

"But that doesn't mean you can't contact another friend!" Jimin tried lightening up the mood and smiling again. At that moment, Tae saw the dark circles under the boys eyes.

"That's true." Taehyung said simply, not stating a fact or agreeing, just saying it so Jimin wouldn't feel he was the reason Tae would be getting beat over Christmas break.
