Red String of Fate (Taekook AU)

Chapter 11: New Friend

'B-but...'

'What an interesting conversation boys...' Namjoon shook his head in amusement. 'And he should call you 'hyung' at least at school and outside the house, Tae...'

Taehyung snorted, but under the stern gaze of his father he rolled his eyes.

'Fine. There are some exceptions then...'

Jungkook sighed with relief.

Minji put Santa hats on everyone's heads. She herself was a cute elf with fake ears.

'Go, help Jin and Hobi, bring the dinner from the kitchen, boys...' she said, putting the plates on the table.

Teahyung instinctively grabbed Jungkook's waist to help him jump off the chair, as he had done many times before, but somehow... it made the tickling sensation in his stomach more intense this times.

He grunted, taking his hands away fast.

Jungkook tilted his head with a bunny smile.

'Thank you, angel!'

Taehyung squinted his eyes.

'You little...'

'Don't start again. I beg you!' Minji stopped them.

And Taehyung had to finish the bickering with a pinch on Jungkook's arm before running to the kitchen, chased by the angry bunny.

After they ate dinner and facetime with Minji's parents and Parks and messaging wishes to Yoohyeon, Dami and Yeonjun, Hoseok clapping his hands excitedly ran upstairs screaming:

'I will bring the gifts!'

'I think Hobi was a Santa in his previous life...' Jin giggled. 'He is always so excited...'

'That would make Minji Miss Santa...' Namjoon laughed.

'What's so funny? I would be a badass Santa's wife! I would train all elves to be my little assassins...' Minji nodded to herself, probably planning in her head her assassins squad...

'I...' Jin gulped. 'That's quite scary...'

Hoseok ran downstairs. His head wasn't visible from all the packages and bags he was holding in his arms.

He put everything on the couch and beckoned them with his hands.

'Open up! Open up!' He handed the package to Jungkook and then next one to Taehyung. 'These are from all of us...'

Taehyung and Jungkook opened their gifts excitedly but each in a quite unique way. Taehyung carefully untied the ribbon and took the colorful paper. Jungkook on the other hand tore the paper fast with his fingers and gasped.

Both boys blinked at two cameras they were holding.

'Now you can take pictures and do your own recordings as much as you want...' Jin smiled gently at two boys that were enchanted by the expensive gifts.

Jungkook jumped on Hoseok.

'Thank you! Thank you so much! It's amazing!'

'You are welcome...' Hoseok giggled when Jungkook ran to kiss Minji's cheek.

Taehyung hugged Namjoon and Jin saying quiet 'thank yous' more times than it was needed.

All of them unpacked the rest of the gifts, but boys were soon back to their cameras, taking pictures of everyone and everything, and checking different settings.

Jin brought hot choco for everyone and they were drinking while watching the christmas special shows on tv when Jungkook asked.

'Can we go outside to check how to take night photos?' he asked, looking at Hoseok with pleading eyes.
