So.... this is the last chapter before the epilogue...

I wasn't motivated when writing this chapter so I'm sorry if its bad whoops

Jimin giggled, subconsciously leaning into Taehyung's side, as his mom danced around blasting the same songs that played every Christmas season. The two were situated on one of the sofas next to the Christmas tree. 

Eun Jin laughed beside Taehyung. The older looking at her fondly, happy that his sister can be warm and happy on Christmas instead of stuck in that dark house. He then looked over to his boyfriend who was snuggled up comfortably against his shoulder, and quickly placed a kiss on his head.

"oh aren't they cute!" Eun Jin squealed, eyes full of joy as she adored the couple situated next to her. Jimin blushed, smiling slightly yet flustered nonetheless. Taehyung just stuck his tongue out at her teasingly, wrapping his arms around Jimin and bringing him closer.

"I knooow!" Jimin's mom squealed, momentarily stopping her excessive dancing with Jinhyung, who was cringing out of his mind at how his mom swung him around. 

They all opened most of their presents, although Taehyung is saving one for Jimin to open later. Eun Jin cried multiple times, grateful for the presents that Jimin and his family got her. Jimin was informed that she hasn't gotten a Christmas present since she was 6 years old from anyone but taehyung, so he made sure to work more hours at the public library than usual, a job that he had gotten over winter break. 

Jinhyun also got a lot of presents as usual, but Jimin didn't mind because he was content with his socks, underwear, and his Taehyung. 

After Taehyung opened his present from Jimin, he almost cried of happiness and attacked the older in a million hugs and kisses. The gift was surrounded by a ton of his favorite snacks, like chocolate and honey chips, and in the middle was a box full of a ton of their pictures together. But, in the very center was a silver bracelet, which is now fitted to Taehyung's wrist with the words "My TaeTae" carved into it. 

"I promise I will give you your present later." he whispered to the older, kissing the back his hand hurriedly, Jimin giggling and nodding his head whilst blushing. 

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door and Jimin's mom immediately rushed to get it, already knowing who it was. She swung the door open, revealing 6 boys bundled up for the harsh winter, smiling brightly with christmas gifts in their hands. They all looked at each other before breaking out in a terrible, unharmonized rendition of deck the halls, making everyone laugh. 

Once they finished, Jimin's mom clapped, opening the door so the boys could file in. They all made sure to put away their snowy coats and boots respectfully before making their way to the living room, where the Christmas tree stood tall and emitted joyful energy. Jimin and Taehyung stood, hugging the others as they sat in empty seats on the sofas and on the floor.

"Guys, this is my little sister Eun Jin." Taehyung wrapped an arm around the happy girl, who waved to the older boys. Namjoon and Yoongi waved back, familiar with the girl. Jungkook also made shy eye contact with her, both of them slightly blushing as they looked away from each other. Hoseok made his happy introductions, along with Jin who was happy to finally meet her.

The sky was falling into blues and grays, snow endlessly falling outside the window. Jimin and Taehyung were cuddled together on the couch, the christmas tree still glowing and bright. Jimin was snuggled up against Taehyung's chest, feeling all warm with a mug of hot chocolate in his cold hands. 

 "I have to give you my present." Taehyung whispered, kissing Jimin's temple before slightly moving away from him. Jimin immediately beamed, looking up at the other and kissing his lips gently before nodding. The younger smiled, standing up from the couch running upstairs, quickly returning with a little box with a bow on it.

Jimin sat straight, taking the rectangular box in his hands as the younger sat down next to him. He looked over at Taehyung, the other nodded to go forward and open it. Jimin slowly untied the bow around the black box, setting it to the side and slowly opening it. 

There sat a beautiful silver necklace, the charm was a heart with some type of engraving on the front. It read "KTH + PJM forever and always", and right above there was a small diamond engraved into it. Jimin covered his hand with his mouth, reading it and handling it gently, trying to stop tears from forming in his eyes. He immediately gave it to Taehyung and turned around. The younger smiled gently, wrapping the necklace around his neck and eventually clipped it together. 

Jimin spun around, hugging the other tightly and burying his head into his neck. Taehyung just chuckled, holding the other with a strong hold as if he'd never let Jimin go.

"3, 2, 1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!" The seven boys yelled at the top of their lungs. Jungkook threw confetti and blew kazoos as the couples shared their New Years kiss. 

The boys were, in fact, just a little bit tipsy from the illegal alcohol Yoongi had lying around his house. Good thing their parents weren't around, since they were all at said house. Jungkook stayed sober, however, along with Jin and Hoseok who weren't fans of drinking. 

Jimin laughed, grabbing Taehyung's face and squishing his cheeks before smacking his lips on the other's. Taehyung immediately wrapped his arms around Jimin's waist, the once innocent peck on the lips turning south as they stuck their tongues down each other's throats. 

"Yah! You two! Get a room or something!" Yoongi yelled at the two, words slurred as he was stumbling against Hoseok. Namjoon just laughed, also drunk as Jin scolded the two for doing such things in front of everyone. Although the older knew they couldn't help it, they were drunk off their asses. 

"Maybe we will get a room." Taehyung smirked, tightening his grip around Jimin's waist and glaring challenge-ly at Yoongi. The mint-haired boy gagged, and shook his head no.

"I'm not gonna let you touch each other's no no squares in my house!" Yoongi stomped his leg, crossing his arms with a pout on his face, resembling a child throwing a tantrum. 

"Now, now, baby I'm sure he was just joking." Hoseok assured his boyfriend, half un-sure himself. 

"But-!" A small hand covered Taehyung's mouth. 

"That's enough from you! Bad boy!" Jimin giggled, leaning himself against Taehyung's chest as he pointed a finger to his face. His face was red and his words were slurred, but his eyes were still dreamy as he looked up at Taehyung. 

"I'm not a bad boy!" Taehyung pouted, immediately switching demeanors as he looked down at Jimin.

"Aish, those two never get sick of each other."

Jungkook nodded in agreement.
