I jolt awake to a car door closing and look over to see Bun looking at me apologetically, "Sorry, Kitten. I didn't mean to wake you up."

I yawn and look around and see that we were stopped at a gas station. I pull the blanket that was covering closer to my body as I see the gloomy-looking sky. Since I couldn't afford to go home for the holidays, Bun invited me to his family home for Christmas. I tried to say no but he wouldn't have it.

"I grabbed a ton of snacks. Want anything?" Bun asked, pushing the plastic bag towards me.

"How much longer?" I asked, opening a random bag.

"A little under 2 hours," Bun said, pulling out of the parking lot and back on the road.

I hummed in acknowledgment and looked out the window at the passing landscape. I haven't been out of Seoul since I came here in the summer. It was nice to be out of the city and see other sides of South Korea.

"Kitten?"

I turned to Bun and he was holding out his hand for a snack. I handed him a few candies as he popped them into his mouth.

"Have you talked to Minjun?" he asked.

"We talked on the phone a few times but I haven't seen him since classes ended. He said he was super busy with preparing for his audition for BH."

Bun frowned and tightened his hand on the steering wheel, "Did he apologize for missing your concert?"

"Yeah. During class that following Monday, he gave me flowers. He said he got distracted at the dance studio and lost track of time."

Bun poked his tongue to the side of his mouth and squinted. He turned up the radio, signaling he was done with the conversation. We spend the rest of the ride singing along with the radio while I was handing Bun snacks. Soon Bun pulled up to a two-story house with multiple cars in the front. We were on the outskirts of Busan in a gated community. Everything looked modern visually, and I was in awe at the sight.

I jumped out of the car and grabbed my bag from the back. Bun and I planned on only staying two full days since he had a concert to get ready for on New Year's Eve. I feel the bag leave my hand and I thank Jungkook, giving him a nervous smile.

"Don't worry. They have heard a lot about you. They already love you."

I just nodded and followed slowly behind him as the cold air nipped at my ears. Bun swung open the door and yelled into the house, "I'm home!"

I felt like the entire house burst with energy as soon as he finished his short sentence. I saw three figures dash towards us and attack Jungkook hard, making him stumble back a little. I watched as his sibling's fight to try to give him a proper hug and I couldn't help but smile at the scene in front of me. Bun's eyes sparkled and crinkled as he pried the bodies off of him.

"Miss me that much?" he asked, bending down to the two younger ones and giving them each a better hug.

"Of course we did, Kookie! Mainly we missed the gifts though."
