Side Chapter: A Christmas Together
Kwon's Residence,
No POV
One of the best times of the year has come. Christmas! This is the first Christmas for our three couples since they found each other. To fully celebrate it, they all gather at Yuri's house. All of them have already arranged with their families. They will celebrate with their own family on the 26th.
Around noon, Yuri's parents went out. They were going to spend Christmas with Seohyun's parents. Since Yoona and Seohyun met each other and started spending all of their free time together, their respective parents also came to know each other and became good friends.
While Yoona was preparing, Yuri went out to pick up Seohyun and Jessica. Around 1pm, everyone was already there. Taeyeon and Tiffany arrived with their arms full of presents. It was also Tiffany first Christmas without her father. While it was hard for her, she was still able to smile genuinely, because she was truly happy to be with her second family.
The girls spent the afternoon baking cookies and talking about their Christmas' memories.
"Guess what my beloved sister gave me as a present last year?" Yuri asked everyone.
Jessica, Tiffany and Seohyun were trying to guess while Taeyeon was laughing.
"You mean you didn't like her present Yul?" Taeyeon teased. "I think it was quite original"
Yoona joined in. "I'm proud of my present! It was a great idea!"
"A coupon! My sister gave me a coupon!" Yuri complained while everyone looked amused.
"A blank coupon where she could write down a wish. I named it the Tell me your wish Christmas" Yoona said proudly. "I gave one to my parents too and they were very happy"
Fany found the idea fabulous whereas Jessica thought it wouldn't work for her. "I don't think I can give Yuri a wish coupon...that would be a suicide" she said.
"Why?" Seohyun asked innocently.
Taeng knowing what Jessica meant looked at her with big eyes.
"Huh...I mean...because..." Sica stuttered.
"Because Yuri is expecting a huge present from Jessica" Taeng said quickly, saving the situation.
Yuri looked at Jessica with a mischievous smile. "Does it mean I won't have a wish coupon? Never?"
Everyone except Seohyun responded. "NEVER" they shouted at the same time, before the room was filled with laughter.
After they were done with the cooking, they went in the living which was nicely decorated. They all sat down on the couch and watch a Christmas movie together.
"We do that every year, right Taeng?" Yuri asked.
Taeyeon nodded and smiled, thinking about each Christmas she has spent with the Kwon family. "We played in the morning, helped auntie with the cookies before watching a movie and waiting for dinner"
"And presents!" Yuri added.
"We made presents ourselves when we were kids" Taeyeon explained. "Auntie said it was more meaningful"
"She is right" Tiffany agreed.
"My present is meaningful" Yuri said with confidence.
"I'm sure it's something lame" Yoona teased her sister.
The two sisters started bickering with each other. Taeyeon looked at them and smiled sweetly. Since she was an only child, she has always considered the Kwon sisters like her own siblings.
After the movie, Yoona, Seohyun and Tiffany went back in the kitchen to prepare diner while Yuri and Taeyeon played video game. As for Jessica, she did what she does the best. Sleep.
"I must say..." Taeyeon started speaking. "the food is really really good!" she said after tasting the meat.
They were all sitting a the dining table, sharing their very first Christmas diner together.
"Obviously Jessica wasn't in the kitchen" Yuri joked, but got immediately hit by Jessica.
"Tiffany was in though..." Taeyeon said while anticipating a hit from Fany.
"I don't care about your jokes, I improve a lot! Right Seohyun?" Fany waited for Seohyun to back her up.
"Tiffany unnie did a good job" Seohyun said.
"But you did the best" Yoona complimented her girlfriend.
"You two should learn from Yoona" Tiffany said. "She really knows how to talk to her girlfriend"
"Not like some people..." Jessica said while looking at Yuri and Taeyeon.
The two of them looked away innocently.
"I believe I'm a better speaker than Taeyeon" Yuri said.
"You're not better, you just speak more" Taeyeon corrected.
"I agree" Yoona nodded, taking Taeyeon's side.
Yuri was going to argue back when Sica putted a full spoon in her mouth, to stop her from talking nonsense. They all laughed at Yuri before continuing their conversation.
"What is the best present you guys ever had?" Tiffany asked.
In the group, Tiffany and Jessica were the only one from a modest family. The other four were all rich kids, and Tiffany was quite curious on what kind of presents her friends received on their birthdays or Christmas.
"By best present, do you mean the most extravagant?" Taeyeon asked, a little confused.
Yuri ignored Taeng's question and went on to explain. "For our dear Taeyeon, there are two types of present. The ones from her parents and the ones from my family"
Tiffany immediately got the meaning. "Ok...so give me one of each" she told Taeng.
"Most expensive presents were cars. 5 of them exactly. I received them as soon as I got my driver license" Taeyeon said.
Tiffany and Jessica were in shock. "5 cars?" Jessica asked.
"Since they didn't know my favorite color, my favorite brand or any other thing I like, they bought 5 different cars." She explained the reason why her parents did that.
"What about the non-expensive present then?" Fany asked.
"A scarf and gloves" Taeyeon said with a smile. "The scarf was from Yuri and the gloves from auntie"
"I knew you loved that scarf!" Yuri exclaimed. "I did a good job"
Taeyeon was 13 years old when she received the scarf and the gloves for Christmas. It was the first time that she received a handmade cloth as presents. Though she doesn't wear them anymore, she still treasures them.
"What about you guys?" Taeng asked.
"A doll house! A pink one nonetheless. It is in my room if any of you want to see it" Fany said.
Jessica thought for a moment. "A dog...but it died a few years later"
For Seohyun, it was a white piano. For Yoong, the aquarium in her room, full of exotic fishes and for her sister Yuri, it was...Jessica.
"I'm not your present Yuri" Sica said, confused.
"I consider you being with me as a present from heaven" Yul said.
Yoona and Taeyeon made a disgusted face at Yul's cheesiness.
They finished their diner in a happy mood. Everyone gave a hand at cleaning the dishes. It was the last step before enjoying the night, opening presents and cherishing the moment spent together.
When everything was clean, they gathered in the living room and sat down on the floor in front of the Christmas tree, ready to exchange presents. That night, they all opened their presents with a big smile on their face. They were excited and happy like they were little children.
Seohyun received DVDs, some limited Keroro stuff and a brand new cellphone from Yoona.
Yuri got a new camera from Taeng, a book about dating from Yoona, a shirt with "Team YulSic" printed on it from Fany, a handmade scarf and a letter from Sica who told her to read it only when she is alone and finally a digital picture frame from Seohyun.
Yoona got 10 coupons for free driving lesson from her sister and other random and funny presents from her friends and girlfriend.
Sica got an Ipod touch from Taeyeon, so she can listen to it whenever she doesn't want to listen to Yuri's constant talking. Yoon and Seohyun bought lot of books and Yuri got her girlfriend a special alarm clock.
Taeyeon received a new watch, classical CDs, a doll made by Tiffany who is supposed to represent her, a game and a book about how to exercise in the morning in order to grow up by Yoona.
Tiffany got pink clothes, cooking books, romantic DVDs, perfume and a huge frame with a picture of the 6 of them, smiling happily.
"Your new family" Taeyeon said.
Tiffany eyes got teary. "My family" she repeated.
Yuri took pictures with her new camera while Taeyeon and Seohyun sat at the piano. The two of them started playing before everyone joined them around the piano. They sang Christmas songs together, holding hands.
It was their first Christmas together but it wouldn't be the last, because they are a family.
