The winter holidays had arrived and with them, Christmas was coming. The cold streets of Seoul were being illuminated by beautiful colored lights in every corner, people went out at night to drink coffee or just to walk, being accompanied by small flakes falling slowly onto them.

In the home of Taehyung, which he now shard with Jungkook, the mothers and the younger brothers of each were gathered. It would be one day until Christmas and they were deciding what to prepare.

-I do not know, Mom. I think pork chops would be better instead of kimchi. Who eats kimchi on Christmas?-Taehyung explained, finishing with a pout on his lips.

-Love, we can prepare both dishes.- Mrs. Kim shrieked at Jungkook's opinion.

-That's why you're my favorite, Jungkookie.- Taehyung rolled his eyes and looked at his boyfriend who just laughed without making a sound.

-Will there be alcohol, Mom?

-No, Hyunjin. Not for you. For us, yes.- Everyone laughed and the younger one crossed his arms in an offended manner.

-Well, then tomorrow morning we will go buy what we need.- Both elders said goodbye to Mrs. Kim and the children, to go to their room and sleep after a tiring day.

That day, Sunhee had arrived, the mother of Taehyung and Hyunjin, his brother. To pick them up at the airport was a real chaos, first because they ran out of gas in the middle and second because they encountered huge traffic. Luckily, they arrived on time, although tired and stressed.

Jungkook's younger bother, Jeongin, arrived a week before, but as he arrived by train, going to pick him up was not as complicated as finding the family.

-Never do I intend to go to the airport on the main road, next time we take a less clogged road, okay?

-Tae, that's the only way to get to the airport.- He laughed at the frustration and left him a kiss on the forehead.
-Rest, Honey.

-Good night, Jeon.- He went to the other end, away from Jungkook.

-Hey, why are you leaving and why did you call me Jeon?- He stretched out his arm and around his waist, pulled him to his side, in a teaspoon position.

-Because...- Taehyung did not reciprocate the hug as he was pretending to be angry.

-You're like a baby. I love you and good night.

-I love you more.

Jungkook woke up and looked for Taehyung with his hands, but only felt his side of the bed empty. Confused, he got up and saw the time.

-6:40, it's early yet.- With a yawn and a spurt of extremities, he went to the restroom to wash his face and teeth. Then, he went to the kitchen and found a scene that brought back some memories.

-I miss that habit.- Jungkook said as he saw his boyfriend eating the banana like the good old days, but this time, without morbidity in between.

When Taehyung heard this, the banana almost got stuck, so he coughed a little and laughed at what his boyfriend had said.

-Good morning, Darling. Do not worry, I plan to eat one every evening.- He smiled and threw away the banana peel. He approached Jungkook and kissed him on the lips, then he retired to his room, Jungkook following behind.

-Will we go to the supermarket?- They were already dressing to leave.

-Yes, my mom will take care of preparing breakfast for out brothers, we will be back in the afternoon in time to prepare dinner.

-Well, I hope to find the game that Jeongin wants so much, the last time I saw it on offer but felt too lazy to buy it.

-Well, let's go soon or there will not be a happy Christmas for him.- They both laughed and left the apartment, but not before leaving a note to Mrs. Kim.

Before going to the supermarket, they went to a coffee shop and had breakfast together. The hot coffee at that time of the morning and with the beautiful view of the falling snow was definitely one of Taehyung's favorite scenes.

When they arrived at the supermarket they were surprised that there were a lot of people, it was a bit difficult to get some things, but in the end, with a little luck, they both everything. They even bought more decorations for their Christmas tree, the poor thing was something empty.

After buying everything necessary and some gifts for their his brother and Mrs. Kim, they returned home. Mrs. Kim was not there, she left a note advising that she went shopping with the children and that she would return to help them with dinner.

-What time is is, Jungkookie?

-It's 2:15, why?

-How long have I not shown you how to eat a banana?- Taehyung asked mischievously. And with that question, they both knew what was coming, because after all, they had the afternoon free for the two of them.

-I need you to show me how to eat a damn banana, Tae. But with this one that I have here.
