The quick clattering of footsteps down the staircase made Yunho look up from his book, only to see his boyfriend sprinting up to the couch and plop down beside him, his face showing unmistakable signs of a brewing excitement.

"Let's open them," the latter cried, before Yunho could say something or even ask him questions.

"But it's not even the 20th, Min," replied Yunho, putting the book down on the table and taking a quick sip of coffee from his mug.

"Pleaseee," Mingi urged, his lips now forming a pout and eyes exhibiting a pleading look.

Yunho sighed.

"Fine. Bring them."

Eliciting a happy squeal, Mingi instantly disappeared into the adjacent room and soon returned with two packets in his hands. Handing one of them to Yunho, he once again sat down upon the couch and began working on ripping off the coverage.

"Oh my! Yuyu look," Yunho turned his attention to Mingi, and saw the boy now holding a sweater in front of him. It was in shades of emerald green, a soft fuzzy texture and completely hand knitted. Mingi's face beamed with joy, as he ran his fingertips upon the big 'M' stitched on the upper left corner in bright yellow, seemingly golden.

"Mother made one for you too," he exclaimed, as he pointed at the attire that currently lay on Yunho's lap. The sweater that he had received resembled Mingi's in all aspects, except for the color and the initial.

Yunho's one was bright maroon and had a large 'Y' in white.

"Let's wear them." No sooner had the suggestion been given than both pulled the sweaters over their heads and were now wearing them, the smiles upon their faces displaying vivid signs of an immeasurable amount of happiness.

"Such a warm present," Yunho commented with a smile, hands pressing upon the fabric that he was wearing, his gaze reluctant to leave the knitted sweater made by his lover's mother.

"She loves you so much Yuyu," Mingi spoke softly, hugging the former from behind, "She considers you a family already and hence, she knitted one for you too."

"I- I'm glad," Yunho's voice was softer, as he turned around and engulfed the other in a tight embrace.

They stood in that manner for a while, the morning shine now splashing into the room with bright golden rays illuminating every corner of the space. Yunho gently broke the hug and looked into Mingi's eyes, his smile mingled with a soft sigh.

"Let's make breakfast, mn?" he suggested, and upon seeing the other nod vigorously in affirmation, he held his hand and walked into the kitchen, both currently embraced by the affection and warmth of a sweet family bond.
