"One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly"

-Andy Rooney

We reached home, instantly receiving a warm welcome by my family (my friends+BTS). Both Kookie and me showered one by one and changed into our pajamas. They were already dressed in their pajamas. We were planning to watch a movie together. We choose the animated movie 'Finding Nemo'. Yeah, everyone's favorite Nemo. We all agreed on that one movie. Since, before coming up with this name, we literally were having a fight on which movie to watch.

That was the plan that we will follow later. Now we have much more things to do. We chose a Christmas carol to sing. We did a lottery, and the song that came up was 'Carol of the Bells'.

We went outside to our Christmas tree that we decorated together on Christmas eve. It was actually a pine tree, but it was special to us...

We started singing the Christmas carol together. Everyone sang, no one was left out. Kookie was sitting beside me. We were sitting in a circle around our Pine-Christmas tree. Kookie's melodious voice was going into my ears. His voice was so soft yet powerful. I was happy. I have never been so happy, ever.

Everyone was laughing or giggling or chuckling beside singing the carol.

Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away
Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
to young and old,
meek and the bold.
Ding dong ding dong
that is their song
with joyful ring
all caroling.
One seems to hear
words of good cheer
from everywhere
filling the air.
Oh how they pound,
raising the sound,
o'er hill and dale,
telling their tale.
Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
On on they send,
on without end,
their joyful tone
to every home.
Ding dong ding... dong!

We finished singing it thrice and then we stopped. We brought the dinner out with ourselves. We were going to dine there. Since it was freezing cold we brought every blanket, cushion and pillow we saw, with us. Everyone was wrapped in blankets. We kept the dinner in the middle and everyone ate whatever they wanted. It was like self-service.

All the boys were playing like kids. They were fighting over the food. Me, Nishi and Simmi looked at each other and giggled. They were also thinking, 'We're not the only ones to do so'. It looked really funny looking the at hyungs fighting like small kids...

"Hey! That's mine hyung...why are you taking it?" Tae hyung said, making a face at Jin hyung.

"What? How did it became yours? Is your name written on it? Where? I can't see it.. can you see it Kookie?" Jin hyung included Kookie in their bickering.

"Hey!!wait up, I can see it. There it is...Its written here", Jungkook supported Taehyung. Then they gave each other a high-five.

"This kid....." Jin hyung said getting annoyed by Taekook. After that Jin hyung hit Kookie on his shoulder playfully.

"Pass me the Apple donuts Rapmon hyung" Jiminie hyung said.

At this, Rapmon hyung hid it behind his back refusing to give it to him. Jiminie hyung made a cute-sad face. In the meanwhile, Suga hyung was having fun eating peacefully. We three too were eating peacefully along with him. J-hope hyung was busy laughing at the Maknaes.

"Why is this tree so special to you all?" Suga hyung asked after we finished less eating and more bickering.

"It is a special part of our home. We planted it when we first moved into this house together. It is like a part of us and our friendship. We always decorate this pine tree of ours on Christmas and celebrate it with our tree". I said explaining to all of them.

"That must be really special for you" Jiminie hyung said.

We three nodded in response.

We moved inside the house since it was getting really cold outside.

We made ourselves comfortable on the couch and started talking. Hobi hyung started telling us how bad dancers are Rapmon hyung and Jin hyung, and was also making fun of Jin hyung's funny choreography...

"You know the song 'Spring Day'? Jin hyung was so funny while he was dancing, and on the comeback show Rapmon hit him accidentally and he just fell, our Jin hyung is old. And on another comeback he started doing his funny version of 'Spring Day'...It was so funny, we all were embarrassed to do it, but he carried on....." Hobi hyung said laughing out loud, followed by our laughter.

"You don't understand my talent, I am just too talented for your eyes....." Jin hyung said bragging about himself.

"Oh~ your talent is invisible then..." Kookie said teasing Jin hyung.

Everyone laughed out loud. We defended for our dear Jin hyung....

"Don't say that. His choreography was also good. I liked your choreography Jin hyung..." Nishi said and smiled at him. Jin hyung gave her a thumbs up sign.

Then we started telling a funny story of our beloved Simmi, this story was our favorite among all the school stories.....

"We were having sports period and all the girls were playing a game together. And the game required running. Since, the night earlier it rained, so the ground was wet and there a mud puddle was formed. She was running around having fun playing. And she just stepped on the puddle and slipped. The most funny thing was that, after she slipped and fell down, she sat there like she has lost everything in life...she sat there for a good amount of time and after that we took her to the washroom to clean. As there was so much mud, her track suit was ruined and we had to call her mum to bring an extra pair for her..."

I said narrating the whole story. Everyone burst out in laughter. It was really funny, specially for me and Nishi. Simmi on the other hand made a face which expressed 'What's so funny about that?'....Jin hyung was hitting Jiminie hyung who was sitting beside him, because he couldn't stop laughing. Hobi hyung rolled down on the floor laughing hard....

After discussing the funny stories of each other, Rapmon hyung suggested that we should also share our worries and try to solve them.

Jiminie hyung started first, but it was a really funny problem of his....

"I am getting too much of cheek fats. I don't know why I keep getting them, even when I keep my diet balanced...can anyone help me with this?"

"I can help you Jiminie hyung", I said and got up to approach him. I bent down and pinched his cheeks like a small baby. He was surprised by my action. When I came back to my seat he said,

"This is so unfair, I am serious" And everyone started laughing at him.

Then my friends came up with a real concern. They were worrying how they are going to manage the job and the house together, since both of them will be at the office the whole day and they have to keep the home also in good condition. Rapmon hyung gave them some useful tips, which were useful for me too, so I listened to him carefully.

We wrapped up our trouble-solving session too quickly since it was Christmas and no one actually wanted to discuss troubles. After that, much to our surprise BTS announced...

"Friends we are now going to play a candy hunt game" MC Sugar hyung and Hopie hyung said. Then they explained the game to us.

"There are candies scattered throughout the house and outdoors too. We will have 3 teams with two teams with 3 members and one team with 4 members. Teams will be decided using lottery. There are riddles in this glass jar which will be the clues of the places where the candies are kept, we have to pick one at a time. After we solve the riddle and get the candy only then we can take out another riddle. Everyone, are the rules clear?" All of us nodded, it sounded fun.

The teams were divided-

Team 1: Suga hyung, Tae hyung and Simmi.

Team 2: Noor, Jungkook and Jiminie hyung.

Team 3: Nishi, Jin hyung, Hopie hyung and Rapmon hyung.

I was happy I was teamed up with Jungkook and Jimin hyung. Each team took a riddle and tried hard solving it.

Our first riddle was..."This is the place where Santa keeps your gifts" Santa keeps our gifts? Isn't it socks?

"Socks" Jiminie hyung shouted reading my mind. We went in to check them. We also checked the wardrobe, but found nothing. We thought again. Shouldn't it be Christmas tree? He keeps our gifts under the Christmas tree...

"It's Christmas tree....Let's go" I shouted and ran to our Christmas tree. We inspected the Christmas tree carefully. Then, Kookie found a little bag hanging from the tree. There were six candies inside it. A big deal.

We hurriedly picked our next riddle. It was...."A soft and fluffy place" ....soft....fluffy....a teddy bear? Nah....oh....it's....

"It's the couch" Kookie and I shouted together. We three ran to the couch. We removed the cushions and found 12 more candies there. Woah~ it is so much fun....We ran to take another riddle. It stated "A magical place, where the Christmas aroma is created"...Magical place? Do we have a magic place in our home? I didn't knew about that.....what can that be?

"Guys...it's the kitchen" Oh~ he was right, the aroma....We ran to the kitchen and searched through it. In the cupboard we found 8 more candies. We had no time left so we ran to take another riddle...but....the time ended...everyone stopped and came to the couch.

Our team had a total of 26 candies...not bad. But Nishi's team had 27 candies and Simmi's team had 24 candies. So we lost to them because we had a shortage of one candy. It was a fun game even if we lost.

It was finally time for watching 'Finding Nemo'. We all gathered at the couch with all the blankets, cushions and pillows. We made ourselves comfortable and watched the film. We had late-night snacks with us. Everyone was focusing on the film. But someone was not, that was Kookie. He held my hand under the blanket. I looked at him questioningly.

"My hands are cold, share some warmth..... with me" He said smiling at me, he has his way of speaking. His sentences are even more beautiful than him.

From the corner of my eyes I saw Nishi and Jimin hyung whispering something. Something is cooking between these two...I thought.

We were silent for the first time in the whole day. But I don't know when I drifted away watching the film with everyone. I rested my head on Kookie's shoulders and slept peacefully, while he continued to warm his hands with mine....

Author's Note:

Hello lovely readers, this is the third and the last part of Christmas trilogy. Hope you liked it. Now BTS, Noor and her friends are like a family. I love this crazy and noisy family. Christmas maybe over, but the Christmas magic is not. Noor and Kookie are so sweet. They slept together on the couch.

Here's another quote for my lovely readers....again not by me....this time by Harlen Miller.

"I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month"

I too wish the same as Harlen. Please comment and review my story. They help me a lot to understand my readers.
