"Come on, Chan!" You called, pulling the younger with you into Seungcheol's house. "Merry Christmas, noona!" Chan slipped a present into your bag. "I know we're supposed to have played Secret Santa but I wanted to get you something too." You gave him a hug, then got tackled by Wonwoo. "Hey there, Merry Christmas!" Chan visibly looked annoyed, but ran over to give a gift to Soonyoung. "Here, hyung! I'm your Secret Santa!"

Wonwoo smiled sheepishly as he handed you a present. "This is for you, I'm your Secret Santa." You smiled, ripping open the present. It was a shirt you wanted for the longest time, but had problems finding. Giving Wonwoo a kiss on the cheek, you slipped it on to check the sizing. Perfect fit. "I have one too, so if we go hang out or something, we can wear it together." He blushed, holding his hand to his cheek.

Joshua pulled you into his arms, and you began to be surrounded by your friends. "Say cheese, the countdown is ten seconds!" Jeonghan had set up his camera on the tripod stand, and you smiled directly at it.

You loved Christmas with these bunch of weirdos, and you prayed every year that the fourteen of you would stay friends forever.

Soon enough, the lot of you got drunk off some strange eggnog that Jun made, and Minghao was giggling to himself, half asleep. You covered him with a blanket, and patted his head. Strangely sober, you helped Seungcheol cover the rest in blankets and gave them pillows. Mingyu was snuggling the pillow on the couch, Seungkwan was singing Beyonce in a very off key tone, Vernon was rapping to his newest mixtape, and Woozi was chasing Soonyoung around with his guitar.

This was the most chaotic thing you did in a while, but it was all worth it for them. Turning around, you found Wonwoo holding onto your leg, and you laughed. Prying him off, you covered him with a blanket. Chan came up to you, and asked you open your present. "Please? I want to see your reaction." He pulled out his secret aegyo trick, and you didn't have much of an option.

"Oh, Chan. This is beautiful!" It was a necklace of a key, decorated with tiny crystals that sparkled as they caught light. "I'm glad you like it." He rubbed the nape of his neck, and you brought him into a tight hug. "This is amazing, Chan. I love it."

"Anything for you, noona."

[A/N: Merry Christmas, guys! The next chapter will be up soon (hopefully) but here's a filler chapter to see a snippet of how life was with Seventeen before the whole murder case happened. I hope you had a great Christmas!]
