Ten Days Till Christmas
Meet
It's that time of year again. The time when the cold is ruling over the world. The time when snow sometimes comes to visit the earth. The time when those tree in forest finds a new home. The time when a small baker in everyone rises and lots of sweets magic is created. The time when stockings aren't only worn in foot. The time when the streets and markets get bustling with people even though temperature is at the minus. The time when hot choco is the best companion. The time which is the happiest but not only for the kids.
And also the time Jungkook hates the most
Jeon jungkook
*bang the door behind leaving his house*
Jeon jungkook
Fúck this shit , it's just some stupid holiday. What else? Who the fúck even believes in Santa now?
Jeon jungkook
That old creepy thing looks nothing less than a pedophile.
*roll his eyes*
Jeon jungkook a twenty-three years old who just completed his graduation this year. The boy is a software engineer working as an intern in one of the biggest companies in South Korea. Jungkook is an introvert boy with a calm personality. Though he is a lot different with his close friends specially his cracked humor.
At the age of twenty-three, Jungkook has find lots of interests other than just his degree. He is known as golden boy in his family and friends for being good in many things. From painting to cooking to singing, there is nothing the boy isn't good at. But the most important thing is even after being this talented the boy was still a sweet person.
But not until it comes to Christmas.
Jeon jungkook
*peeking inside through window*
Kim Seokjin
*rushing here and there holding the orders*
Here is your hot choco and red velvet cake , sir. Hope you enjoy
Kim Seokjin
*smile at the customer before rushing away*
Kim Seokjin
Yah , Kim Namjoon, if you're only going to make a mess then I would love if you take your pretty ass back home before I whoop it with my pan.
*shout angrily*
Kim Namjoon
Sorry Hyung
*pout looking at the pudding he just dropped*
Jeon jungkook
*sigh*
Hyung is already busy
*walked away*
After walking on the crowded streets filled with many kind of different street vendors selling different things to which Jungkook didn't pay a mind.
Jeon jungkook
*took out his phone calling someone*
Jeon jungkook
📞Hi Hyung , what are you doing today?
Min Yoongi
Mochi baby come fast or I can't save your mochis.
Park Jimin
📞Oh shit ..umm kookie i----
Jeon jungkook
📞it's okay shortie , you enjoy with your boyfriend. But I still pity yoongi hyung for having to eat those tasteless desserts.
*said sadly*
Park Jimin
📞Shut up , that was just one time . okay.
Jeon jungkook
📞Yeah yeah , ofcourse you only wanted to kill me.
*chuckling*
Park Jimin
📞ummmm....kook , do you wanna come at---
Jeon jungkook
📞No hyung. As I said enjoy. I will just as usual enjoy in my room with my bed and among us.
Park Jimin
📞You and your obsession. But okay suit yourself. I'm going then.Byeeee
The line got cut making Jungkook to lower the phone and put the device back in his pocket.
Jeon jungkook
Hobi hyung is also not around.
Jeon jungkook
Aahhhhh for sure this is the worst time of year.
Jungkook fixed the scarf around his shoulder pushing clothe up to his nose as it was getting cold and his nose for sure was looking like a Rudolph now.
The evening has come, and the boy was still on streets not knowing where to go. He doesn't want to go back to his house because he knows his Younger cousins are there, and those kids are way too extra excited and noisy to be around these days. Otherwise, Jungkook doesn't hate those cute little devils.
Jeon jungkook
*eyes fell on the small decoration*
Jeon jungkook
Tch so ug----
The deep velvet voice hit his ears making it seem like it was whisper right in his ear. The boy turned around to find the source of such deep voice only to feel his face get heat up looking at the human like bear standing beside him
Kim Taehyung
Can I steal it?
The words of the boy finally brought Jungkook back from the wherever he was lost to. He looked at the boy seriously only to find other giving some dangerous looks to the little snowman.
Jeon jungkook
*frown*
I don't think that's a good idea
Kim Taehyung
*look at the boy beside him before looking back at the snowman with a pout*
Kim Taehyung
What? You think such a cute human like me would steal?
*look back at other with narrow eyes*
Jungkook was shocked seeing do many expressions on other's face just in a second. It was looking like that other has some split personality, one time he is smiling so beautifully, other time he is pouting like a baby, and now he is glaring at Jungkook like a tiger. And Jungkook has no comments
Jeon jungkook
Well, I didn't saw anywhere that cute people can't be thief.
Kim Taehyung
*narrow his eyes more before moving his face closer to other*
Jeon jungkook
*slightly shift his face back*
Kim Taehyung
So you agree that I'm cute?
Jeon jungkook
Huh?
*confused*
And before Jungkook could say anything the other guy burst out laughing with his big boxy smile on display.
Jeon jungkook
*mesmerized*
Kim Taehyung
Gosh, you're so cute. I was just joking.
*said while smiling*
Jeon jungkook
I'm not cute I'm hot.
*red ears*
Kim Taehyung
Okay okay Mr.hot man , can you warm me too then , I'm very cold here.
*teasing tone*
Jeon jungkook
*roll his eyes*
Oh , shut up please.
Kim Taehyung
*giggle*
I'm Kim Taehyung, and you.
*forward his hand*
Jeon jungkook
*raise his eyebrow*
And why should I tell you. What if you're really some kind of thief?
Kim Taehyung
*wide eyes*
What? Hey , I'm not thief okay. I'm just cute little bear taetae who loves strawberries the most.
Jeon jungkook
*look at other for a second before burst out laughing*
Jeon jungkook
Why are you pouting like that? Are you baby?
*said while laughing*
Jungkook only said because for some reason he finds other way too cute. This taehyung guy is just too adorable and Jungkook was sure even if he tries he can't act tough Infront of this guy. Not like he wants to though
But the cute bear took those words in other way. His pout fell and sad expression taking over his eyes as he thought the handsome boy is also laughing at him.
Kim Taehyung
I-i'm not a kid.
*said while looking down*
Noticing the sudden low voice Jungkook stopped laughing and look at the boy who was now looking really gloomy for some reason. And the boy cursed himself thinking that maybe it's him.
Jeon jungkook
ummm...well , I'm Jeon jungkook.
And like a snap the little twinkle was back in other's eyes with a big smile again adoring on that beautiful face.
Beautiful
Kim Taehyung
So.....are you also out to enjoy the Christmas decorations?
Right now the both male are walking along the snow covered road . It is now almost 8:00 at night making the streets shine more brightly with all the decorations and lightning.
Taehyung was walking like a toddler Playing with the snow on ground having his own fun while Jungkook was walking right behind other with his hands stuffed in his pockets and a light unconscious smile on his lips looking at the cute boy.
Jeon jungkook
Nah , I was just trying to get away from my house.
*shrugged*
Kim Taehyung
*stopped and turned around looking at other with frown*
Why? You have no one at home?
Jeon jungkook
Well exact opposite. There are so many.
Kim Taehyung
WOW
*said while clapping his hand excitedly*
Then you should be at home. It must be so much fun
Jeon jungkook
Fun? It feels like I'll suffocate myself there. They just piss me off.
*roll his eyes*
Kim Taehyung
*made a face at other before walking again*
The walk again continued in silence with only taehyung sometimes getting a little too excited enjoying all the decorations. While Jungkook don't even know why he was here with a boy instead of going back to his safe place his bed and just drown in his blanket.
But whatever the reason is , Jungkook isn't hating it.
Jeon jungkook
What about you?
Kim Taehyung
*staring inside a coffee shop and smile lightly hearing other's words*
Kim Taehyung
I don't have a family Jungkook.
*smile softly at other before looking away*
Jungkook halted on his tracks staring blankly at the back of other who continued skipping ahead like a kid. It is little difficult for him to digest that the happy pill he just witnessed isn't what he actually think he is.
Jungkook thought other might be the little spoiled child of his family. Like the one who enjoys these kinds of holidays , the one who loves to goof around ,the one who still might believe that it's Santa who brings him those gifts. The one who wants to bake but isn't actually good at it.
It was wrong of him to think so much about the guy whom he just met and for the first time Jungkook has felt himself relate to a quote
" Don't judge a book by it's cover"
Kim Taehyung
KOOK
*said excitedly*
Jeon jungkook
*snap away from his thoughts and look at other*
Jungkook walk towards other who was looking Infront with his big eyes twinkling like a stars in the galaxy. Even from the distance the hazel eyes of other manage to take all of his attention that he didn't even noticed that other was pointing at something for him to look at.
Kim Taehyung
Isn't it so pretty?
Jeon jungkook
It surely is.
*staring at other*
Kim Taehyung
How do you think , they decorate it?
*looked at Jungkook with his confused face*
Jeon jungkook
Huh...
*finally looked at what other was showing him*
Jeon jungkook
Oh.... what's so special in it?
Kim Taehyung
What do you mean?
*offended*
Look at it ,it's so big and pretty and it's shining so brightly.Look at all those decorations and that star
Kim Taehyung
It's beautiful.
Jeon jungkook
(You are more....)
If Jungkook wanted he could have continue staring at the boy beside him but a little bit of conscious in him told that it's not a good thing. The boy doesn't even know why he's acting this way. Why he's suddenly so attracted towards someone whom he met few hours ago. What's so special in taehyung that's making his heart feel like that.
Kim Taehyung
Ah...
*stumbled back as kid ran in him*
Jeon jungkook
*was going to hold him but other already stabled himself*
Kid: Mumma , I want a tree bigger than this in our home.
Mom: Ofcourse son , let's go home and then you can tell appa what kind of tree you want and we'll decorate it together.
Kid: Yeah let's go
*said excitedly while jumping*
I love Christmas.....
Kim Taehyung
*just staring at the kid*
Jeon jungkook
*scoff*
(Another annoying pest.....Makes me want to just go and tell him that there's no Santa who reads his stupid letter and brings him gift....it'll be fun to see him crying.)
*smirk to himself*
Kim Taehyung
Did you also decorate the tree?
Jeon jungkook
Nah , I'm not interested in these kids games.
Kim Taehyung
Oh.... do you have one at home?
Jeon jungkook
Yeah , mom must have bought it. I'm sure she might get it decorated by some professionals.
Kim Taehyung
*looked at other*
Kim Taehyung
....wanna decorate a tree.
Day 1
Jungkook don't know why he agreed. But he only remembers saying yes to the beautiful boy whose smile grew so wide like a blooming flower. And not like Jungkook regrets it , infact even if he was given a chance to reconsider his words he would've immediately said yes again.
But now when he had to get up extra early even though waking up before 12:00 pm is like a sin to him. The boy yesterday said that he wanted to go to the Christmas farm wants to cut down his own tree. Like bro there's a reason why those trees are being sold so we lazy people don't have to work hard.
But ofcourse Jungkook couldn't say no to those wide twinkling starry eyes
And at the end they agreed to meet at 10:00 pm near the tree they saw last night. And Jungkook still don't know why he's doing this when he's supposed to hate Christmas and all of this the most.
Maybe because of a beautiful boy with the pretty hazel eyes which shine so bright like stars and moon and that enchanting smile that always makes Jungkook forget he can blink his eyes.
Jeon jungkook
*looked at his watch which shows 9:30*
Jeon jungkook
(Am I early?)
Jungkook still hasn't reach the place but he knows that it'll take him barely 5-10 minutes. The boy thought that he'll hate to get up early but for some reason he found himself fully awake at 8:00 am shocking his family and even himself. Getting his coffee like usual and skipping breakfast Jungkook went out giving another shock to his family who were thinking that they just had a dream of Jungkook going out by himself with a smile.Yeah probably a dream
Jeon jungkook
*reached the place and looked around*
Ofcourse he wouldn't be here yet.
Jeon jungkook
*set his jacket again nervously while checking if his jelled hair are still intact*
And there it was that deep smooth silky soulful voice which never forgets to give the boy goosebumps.
Jeon jungkook
*turned to side only to get his breath hitched*
Jeon jungkook
What the.....is he a model or something?
Kim Taehyung
*walked towards other while playing with his sweater*
Kim Taehyung
ummm....am I over dressed? I----
Jeon jungkook
NO
*shout immediately*
Kim Taehyung
Huh?
*taken aback by the sudden shout*
Jeon jungkook
I mean..I .. you're beautiful...No No ... you're looking beautiful....
Kim Taehyung
*look at other confusedly*
Jeon jungkook
That's not what I mean.....I mean you---
Kim Taehyung
Am I not looking beautiful?
Jeon jungkook
NO , YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL THAT I DON'T WHAT TO SAY EXACTLY. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL BEYOND MY EXPECTATION AND I DON'T HAVE TO WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOU-----
And before Jungkook could rant on that how beautiful other is he heard that melodious laugh again now knowing that other was just messing with him. But it's okay , he's okay with getting teased if he can hear that laugh.
It's all okay , if it's Kim Taehyung. Afterall Jungkook is already smitten.
Kim Taehyung
Should we go then.
*smiling*
Jeon jungkook
Yeah , I guess
*scratch his nape nervously*
Both boys sat on the bus which was mostly empty. They took a seat at the back with taehyung taking the window seat and Jungkook sitting beside him.
Kim Taehyung
*eyes trailed outside looking at the snow covered road*
This year there was lot of snow fall in Korea making the country main attraction for many tourists. But the one living here only knows the real struggle.
The bus continued it's journey steadily stopping at every bus stand and soon the boss was much crowded from before.
Jungkook who was busy just looking around felt something pocking his ear making him turn and look at the source only to find taehyung trying to give him one side of his wired earphones.
Jungkook took it and place it in his ear making taehyung smile happily, ignoring the ear pods sitting in his pocket. Well if he can see taehyung smile then whatever it takes.
The soft smile played through his ear making jungkook let out a smile finding the very familiar piece of music. Ofcourse taehyung looks like a type to hear these type of songs , like jazz and classic totally defining other's personality. Calm and soothing.
And for the first time Jungkook didn't hate this particular Christmas song.
Their stop finally came and both boy came out stretching their arms as it took them around 45 minutes to reach here.
Kim Taehyung
Let's go.
*tug on jungkook's arm and walked ahead*
Jeon jungkook
(Could've hold my hand...)
Kim Taehyung
Look look there they are. Oh my they are so big and pretty....
*said excitedly like a kid*
Jeon jungkook
(What's pretty in them? Just some leaves arranged in different way then usual trees)
Kim Taehyung
Let's go.
*tugged on other arm and almost running*
Jeon jungkook
*happily let himself pulled*
After talking to the farm owner who gave them the necessary things to cut down a tree both the boys were back among the big trees.
Kim Taehyung
I want the biggest one.
Jeon jungkook
Look around and find what's up to your liking.
Kim Taehyung
*nod at other words and walk forward looking at every tree with his big eyes*
Kim Taehyung
This one....No no....that one is better.......WAH....look this one is pretty....
Jeon jungkook
(Aren't they all the same?)
Kim Taehyung
*stopped suddenly making other halt too*
Jeon jungkook
What happened?
Kim Taehyung
I can't select.
*pout*
Jeon jungkook
ummmm....How about this you close your eyes and point at any one. Then we'll just take the one.
Kim Taehyung
*eyes glow again*
YES
Following other's words taehyung closed his eyes and spin a little. Jungkook was only noticing other's action which were like a kid but does Jungkook hates it then the answer is absolutely No.
Kim Taehyung
*stopped and think for a second before raising his hand and pointing his finger at certain direction*
Kim Taehyung
That one....I want that one.
*smile*
Jeon jungkook
*breath hitched*
And only if taehyung eyes were opened and he had known where exactly he was pointing it maybe it would've made it little easier for Jungkook whose eyes were now on the finger right Infront of him.
Jeon jungkook
And before taehyung can open his eyes Jungkook shifted to the side with his red ears (not from cold).
Kim Taehyung
Yeaaah , it's a big one. Let's go kook.
Jeon jungkook
Yeah
*cough*
Kim Taehyung
*stood right Infront of the tree*
Jeon jungkook
*standing beside other holding the saw*
Kim Taehyung
Now , let's cut it down.
Jeon jungkook
Okay , here's your----
Kim Taehyung
You start.
*determine look*
Kim Taehyung
You start it and I'll join later. I'm tired you know after selecting the best tree.
*massaged his own shoulders like he just build a house himself*
Jeon jungkook
*looking at other dumbfounded*
Me? Alone?
Kim Taehyung
Yeah , what's so difficult in it? Just cut it . It would be much easier for you after you got all that body.
*shrugged*
Jeon jungkook
*chocked on his spit*
Kim Taehyung
What you thought I can't see those bulging biceps from your jacket. Gosh it feels like your jacket might tear.
*eying other's biceps*
Jeon jungkook
*embarrassed*
Jeon jungkook
Uhm okay I'll start. But you join soon too.
Kim Taehyung
Ofcourse ofcourse.
*pat on other's back before moving back*
Kim Taehyung
You can do it , kook. Cut down that tree.
*gave a determined face*
Jeon jungkook
*shake his head before holding the saw tightly and getting to his work*
Jungkook was almost done while taehyung only stood back trying to encourage other with his words. The cute boy even tried to transfer his energy to other by doing some strange hands movement calling it taetae's magic when he saw Jungkook getting tired.
Jungkook could only chuckle at other's silly tricks and continued doing his work.
And finally after lots of work the tree fell down making taehyung also jump but Jungkook to stumble back after using so much energy
Kim Taehyung
YEAHHH , we did it.
*chirp happily*
Jeon jungkook
We?
*looked at other with raised eyebrow*
Kim Taehyung
*chuckle nervously*
Hehe....
Then with the help of farm owner the tree was loaded in one of the farm truck and both boys also sat ready to leave from there.
Jeon jungkook
*looking up at other's house*
The house wasn't big as jungkook's, which almost looks like a mansion. But still still the house was beautiful and looks quite comfy for a someone.
Kim Taehyung
uhm , this is my home , sweet home.
Jeon jungkook
It's beautiful (like you...)
Kim Taehyung
Do you...wanna come in?
*fidgeting with his fingers*
"Yes" , it was at the top of jungkook's finger but before he could answer his phone ring taking his attention.
Jeon jungkook
*took out his phone and saw his friends name flashing on it*
Jeon jungkook
(Shit Jin hyung asked me to come today....)
Kim Taehyung
*noticed other's expression*
Everything okay?
Jeon jungkook
Oh...my friend actually asked me for a help and I forgot.
Kim Taehyung
You should've told me before then. I must've troubled you----
Jeon jungkook
No , absolutely not. I enjoyed today.
*said hesterically*
Jeon jungkook
I can still go , it's not anything big.
Kim Taehyung
Then you should go.
Jeon jungkook
Uh ....(But I don't want to)
Jeon jungkook
Yeah , I guess.
Kim Taehyung
*nod while looking away*
Jeon jungkook
Then , I will take my leave.
Jeon jungkook
(Say something you dumbo
..... Atleast ask his number or something? Anything kook , anything....)
Jeon jungkook
*stepped back*
Kim Taehyung
*just standing there*
Jeon jungkook
YES
*said immediately*
Kim Taehyung

Definitely not jeon jungkook
