Christmas Day has arrived and of course everyone just couldn't wait to open presents. Almost everyone woke early that morning. Except for Jennie.
All last night she was shopping for presents. She used all the money she had left to buy gifts for everyone even her new friends. That night she also wrapped presents up until 3 in the morning.By 7 o'clock Jennie was knocked out.
Jisoo awoke around that time to the sound of snoring. She turned to see Jennie sound asleep beside her. Carefully she climbed her way out of bed without waking her and headed to the living room where the rest of the family and girls were.
She noticed under the tree there were 5 presents that weren't there before. Without thinking she goes to the tree and sees a presents for everyone. Even for her. All of them from Jennie.
"When did she have the time to get all of these and wrap them" Jisoo thought as she shook her present.
Jisoo never really got presents much on Christmas. Many of the people at school gave her presents but they were all the same chocolate or cards. But it didn't have any thought towards it.
Pretty much Jisoo already had the things she wanted and it wasn't much either. It was always books, rings or food. Those things she was happy with.
"Jisoo, where's mommy?" Ji Sung asked as he sat under the Christmas tree.
"Oh your mommy is sleeping. We should let her sleep. I think she was up all night wrapping gifts." Jisoo said looking at Chaeyoung and Lisa who were looking at the gifts too.
"Oh man she really did all of this for us." Lisa said as she picked up her present from Jennie.
"Jennie Unnie was always thoughtful it's just that she has a hard time with expressing herself." Chaeyoung said as she grabbed her gift and shook it.
Just then Jennie walked in from the room with bags under her eyes. You could see that she was still tired.
"Oh Jennie sorry, we didn't mean to wake you up." Jisoo said as she walked over towards Jennie.
"No it's ok. But merry Christmas you guys." Jennie asked as she picked up Ji Sung and kissed his cheek.
"Merry Christmas mommy. I have gift for you." He said running getting his gift from under the tree.
"Ok buddy I'll open it soon but let everyone open theirs first ok?" She said sitting down in the couch with Ji Sung's present on her lap.
"Ok mommy. Can I open my gifts now?" He asked getting his gift from under the tree.
"Sure baby"
Jennie pulls out a old Polaroid camera and starts taking pictures of Ji Sung.
Jennie took these photos to remember the times of Ji Sung youth. She wanted to keep a piece of their happiness with her even when they're away. She wanted to keep the memories of them before he gets older.
As all little boy get they got toys. So of course Jennie tried her best to find a toy that he would like. Just like his mom he loved stuffed animals.
Every night we would sleep with his teddy bear which was already shown signs of wear and tear. So of course Jennie had bought him the same exact bear but brand new.
"MOMMMY LOOK ITS A NEW TEDDY!!!" The boy said giving the toy a big hug.
"You like it?" Jennie asked with a bright smile on her face.
"I love it mommy thank you!" He says as he runs over to her and gives her a hug.
Little did they know that the girls were just watching them from a far. Jisoo was in awe as she saw them together. She couldn't help but see how happy Jennie was with her son.
Chaeyoung and Lisa also watched in awe. They realize how much Jennie had and how much she has dealt through at young age. They were grateful to Jennie for getting them gifts and trusting them with meet her son.
After that all the girls opened gifts. Chaeyoung has gotten a couples necklace with Lisa from Jennie.
"Thanks Unnie you really didn't have to get me anything" Lisa says with blush in her face.
"Of course I had to get you something Lisa. You're like a part of family to me. I wouldn't leave you out like that." Lisa's eyes teared up and immediately hugged Jennie.
"Unnie you've done so much for everyone you really didn't have to spent all your money on us." Chaeyoung says as she also has tears in her eyes.
"Chaeyoung-ah I don't mind buying you guys gifts. You all have helped me a lot. And I want to repay you for everything." Jennie says as she hugs them all and is fighting back tears.
"And Jisoo. I wanted to get you something special since you've done so much for me and have pretty much gone out of your way to do things with me. Here, I tried my best to find out what you like. I hope you like it." Jennie hands Jisoo a small box from under the tree.
She opens the box to find a sterling silver ring with a purple stone.

Much like the couple item the Jennie got Lisa and Chaeyoung she got her and Jisoo matching rings. Jisoo's eyes start to glisten and hugs Jennie.
"Thank you so much. I love it." Jisoo says as she slips on the ring that surprisingly fits perfectly.
As the day went on more gifts were opened. Jennie had made Christmas dinner and let her mom rest. The girls also helped around the house and played with Ji Sung. For Jennie Kim, this Christmas was one of her best Christmases yet.
