40 | mommy kissing santa claus

"Kids, it's time for bed."

He turns around to see who just spoke. There, a woman in her early thirties is kissing two children on their foreheads while wishing them a good night's sleep. But the thing is that the woman's face is blurred. He can't make out her face no matter how hard he tries. 

"Now, go to your silly daddy," she tells them before giving them affectionate pats on their heads. The two children—a boy and a girl—run gleefully towards a bedroom. Their mother is left in the living room, chuckling softly as she arranges the ornaments of the tree.

He doesn't understand. Why is he here? Is this just a dream? It must be. He looks around the room and feels no familiarity with the place but the comfort is there. 

He walks towards the woman to look at her closely when something halts his steps. Or specifically, someone.

 "Honey, did you prepare their Christmas socks?" a voice asks. That catches the woman's attention and she laughs breathlessly when she sees the scene in front of her.

"Yes, and what are you doing?" she answers in between laughs. He looks to his right and he doesn't know how this night can get any more weirder.

Walking towards the mysterious woman was...himself. The older and more mature version of himself. Jeon Jungkook.

The man now in front of him is wearing a ridiculous white beard and a big Santa Claus outfit, but he is sure—Jungkook is damn sure that the man is actually himself.

Jungkook can't help but stiffen in his position. 

How? This better be a dream.

He is confused. Why is he witnessing his thirty-something-self being ridiculous and extra in front of (he assumes) wife? Wait...his wife?

Now, Jungkook is hyperventilating. Not only does he have two kids, but also a wife whose face is still blurry as hell. How is this happening? Sure, he wants to get married and have his own family, but he certainly doesn't want to witness it right now. He doesn't want fate to spoil it for him.

"Baby, you really look ridiculous," the woman muses with a chuckle. Jungkook—the older one—also chuckles as he put the gifts under the tree. 

"I just want to be that old man for my little girl. I know she still believes Santa Claus is real while her big brother is so firm that Santa isn't real," he retorts, snorting. 

"They're still children, you know that."

The future Jungkook sighs. "Yeah, and they're growing up so fast," he says, a small soft smile etching his face.

His wife moves closer towards him as he stands up and she wraps her petite arms around his waist. "You're being emotional right now. I'm still not used to it," she teases before kissing his nose softly.

The present Jungkook wants to tear his eyes away from them as it looks so intimate in his eyes. 

"Baby, you like me being soft," he mutters in her lips. He gives her a grin before kissing her passionately. 

Right then and there, present Jungkook quickly looks away from the scene in front of him. He internally wants to vomit. He certainly doesn't want to see himself make out with a woman—not only that, his future wife.

When he looks away, he catches two small figures near the living room. He walks towards them, finding out that they are his future children. He can't see their face clear as it is also blurry, but not as blurry as their mother's. He can tell that the boy is probably four or five years old, and the girl is probably three years old.

"Oh my, mommy is kissing Santa Claus!" the little girl quietly exclaims. Her brother gasps at what they are seeing right there.

"I can't believe this!"

"Should we tell Daddy?" the little girl asks her brother, her eyes getting glossy and her lips quivering. Her brother quickly hugs her to comfort her.

"Shush, don't cry. It's not true. That's not Santa. He is not real, okay? Just...forget this," he tells her while still hugging her. He then kisses her head before ruffling her hair affectionately. 

Jungkook feels the warmth in his heart as he looks at his two future children. He can't help but feel happiness seeping through his body. 

If this is my future, I wouldn't ask for anything more. Just let this be real.

Jungkook jerks awake in his messy bed. He looks around and realizes he's back in his sad dorm room. He runs his  hand through his messy bed hair and sighs. 

"That was just a dream, huh," he muses to himself, feeling slightly disappointed. He wants to go back to that bright and welcoming home. 

His phone suddenly buzzes making him grab it from his nightstand.

From: Kim Taehhyung

Jungkookie, you better come here. It's already 10 am.

Jungkook curses to himself for forgetting that he needs to meet his new friend, Taehyung and his own group of friends. As much as he doesn't want to, it was Taehyung who begged him to go which leave him no choice but to comply. He still needs to communicate with other people anyway.

He finally arrives at the coffee shop later that day. He looks around for the black-haired young man. He finds him waving his hands, a big grin on his face, in the corner of the shop. Jungkook raises his hand and awkwardly waves back before walking towards his table.

"Jungkookie! I'm glad you came!" Taehyung welcomes him with a grin and a big hug. The former then introduces Jungkook to his friends.

Jungkook can say that they are actually good—far more better than he expected. When he asks Taehyung if they already ordered, the latter shakes his head.

"We're still waiting for the two girls. We'll be ordering together," he answers and Jungkook just nods his head.

"Speaking of them, they're finally here," Jimin says. Taehyung turns around grinning. 

Jungkook just looks straight ahead of him and doesn't turn around at first. He is reading a text from his mom when Taehyung cheerfully exclaims.

"You're finally here! This is my new friend, Jeon Jungkook."

Jungkook turns around and hears an audible small gasp from the young woman in front of him who was looking at him in shock.

She is oddly familiar to him. Her hair, her body frame—they all seem so familiar to him. He can't pin point it, but he feels like he already met her before. He feels that he already knows her. His heart beat's suddenly racing in his chest and he doesn't know why. 

He settles on giving her a soft smile even though he doesn't know what's happening.

"Jungkook, this is Yein and Sujeong," Taehyung tells him. The latter gives him a smile while the former stills, looking at him with a weird gaze. A gaze that he badly wants to know.

Yein, why are you oddly familiar to me?
