Chapter 8

Thank you, Santa! (A Yunho Christmas Story)

 

"How about physically?  How do you find Yunho??"  Jiyool and Yoojin heard their Aunt Yayo ask.  Jiyool's eyes widened and put a finger on her lips to signal her oppa to be quiet.

"Uhm... Well...  He is........"

 

"He is...?"  Yayo prodded.

"He is....TALL."  Chel finally answered.  Right away, a round of groans were heard.  Jaejoong bumped his head on the table while Yayo face-palmed herself.  And Yoochun shook his head with a smile.  However, Changmin roared in laughter. 

"Oh, gaaahd.  That was so funny!  Hyung's height is the only thing noticeable.  Pppffffwahahahahahahahhah!!!!!!!"  Changmin laughed while slapping the table.  And Chel only blinked at their reactions.

"That's all?  He's tall?"  Jaejoong asked, bewildered.  He still couldn't believe that their Yunho failed to make an impression.  It's Yunho that they're talking about!  When it comes to looks department, certainly he's above average.

"Well, it's not like I studied him.  I just saw him for only a little while."  Chel explained.

 

"Awww, Auntie Chel must see Appa again, neh Oppa?  I'm right, right?  Right?"  Jiyool asked Yoojin while slightly shaking his arm.  Auntie Chel probably didn't get to see Appa properly.  I must do something!!! 

"Uh, yeah.  Right...."  Yoojin replied, unsure.  But whatever his Jiyool says, then it's bound to be right.

"You must help me, Oppa.  But first, I wanna know more about Aunt Chel!  Oh no, what if she already got married?????"  Jiyool panicked and squeezed his arm tight.

"I don't think she is, Yool.  Because Aunt Yayo and Uncle Jaejoong wouldn't ask such questions if she is."  He said and tried to loosen her hand on his arm. 

"Oh, really Oppa?"  She breathed a sigh of relief.  "I'm so glad my Yoojin oppa is smart!"  She exclaimed and hugged him in happiness.

 

"What are you darlings so happy about?"  They suddenly heard Uncle Jaejoong ask.  Jiyool immediately let go of Yoojin (which totally disappointed the little boy) and just smiled sweetly at him. 

"Nothing, Uncle Joong!!!"  She grinned mischievously and giggled behind Yoojin.

"You're keeping secrets from Uncle Joong now?"  Jaejoong asked and pouted.  Yoojin grinned as well because he felt happy that Jiyool told him and not their handsome Uncle.

"Aniyo, Uncle.  Soon, you'll know!  I promise!"  She said.  She knew she'd tell him sooner or later because she felt like she'd need his help.

"Okay, angel.  Now, are you done playing outside?"  He asked the two.

"Neeeh, Uncle."  Jiyool answered and Jaejoong checked if her back was sweaty.  He flipped her towel to the other side and put it back.

 

"Hello Aunt Chel."  Jiyool shyly greeted when she finally found a chance to talk with Chel alone.

"Hi, sweetie!  Want to sit beside me?"  Chel pulled Jiyool to the sofa, making her sit beside her.  "Where's Yoojin?"  She asked.

"Yoojin oppa's talking with Uncle Yoochun."  Jiyool answered.  She tilted her head while looking at Chel.  "Auntie Chel, do you have a boyfriend?"  She asked.  She held her breath as she waited for the woman's answer.  Chel looked surprised at her question and was amused at the girl's blunt question.

"Ah, no.  I don't have a boyfriend and I certainly don't have a husband either.  Why do you ask?"  She asked with a smile on her face.  This kid could surely surprise her.  

Oh!!!  Aunt Chel is single!!!!!!!!

Jiyool grinned a toothy grin.  She could't hide her excitement and happiness.

"Really Aunt Chel?  How old are you?  I'm five years old."  She held up a hand and showed her five fingers to Chel.

"You're really smart for your age, Jiyool.  Hmm, my age?  Well, I'll tell you as long as you promise me not to tell my age to others..."  Chel paused and motioned for Jiyool to come closer.  "....I'm 30 years old."  She whispered.

30???  31....  32....  33....  34....  35....  Oh!  Appa is only five years older!!

Chel couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the kid silently but diligently count off with her fingers, the way her face lit up after counting.

"Aunt Chel, Aunt Chel... Do you also go to the office everyday?"  She asked with such a cute expression that Chel couldn't help but to pinch her cheek.  She knew most adults go to the office, like her Appa.  

"Hmmm, not really because I'm an author for children's books."  Chel answered with a smile.

"What's that Aunt Chel?"  She inquired and scooted closer to Chel, wanting to know more.

"I'm an author.  I write stories for children." She explained.

"Oh, you're a writer??"  Jiyool asked for agreement, finally getting what her aunt Chel does for a living.

"Yes, but the proper name is AUTHOR."  Chel patiently informed.

"AUTHOR."  Jiyool repeated.  "But why don't you go to the office?"  She asked.

"Because my office is at home."  Chel answered.

"Oooooh.  Aunt Chel, do you know how to make coffee?  Do you know how to cook?"  Jiyool eagerly asked.  Chel let out a laugh, really amused by Jiyool and her sudden series of questions.  But she didn't mind.  She liked talking with Jiyool.  And she had never met a kid that was so much interested in her.

"Hmm, yes.  I can make coffee and I can cook.  I'm a good cook, you know."  Chel bragged and Jiyool giggled.  Her Aunt Chel almost mentioned her Appa's name, Yunho.

"Oh, jinjja?  You're like Uncle Jaejoongie?  His food is really yummy."  Jiyool was actually wondering how yummy her Aunt Chel can cook.

"Hmm, I think I'm even better."  Chel whispered and the two burst into giggles.  Jiyool felt really happy though.

If Aunt Chel can cook yummier than Uncle Joongie then I'm sure Appa will be very happy!

"Uwaaa, then you're a great cook, Aunt Chel!! Ooh, Aunt Chel, Aunt Chel, what kind of stories do you write about?"  Jiyool asked and the two of them had a great time talking about the books and about themselves.

 

"Jiyool angel, your Appa called.  He's already home."  Jaejoong informed when he arrived at their living room, finding Jiyool and Chel deep in their conversation.

"Oh!  I forgot Appa won't be coming to pick me up."  Jiyool's face fell.  She really wanted for her Appa to meet her Aunt Chel.  She sighed.

"What's with the sigh, little angel?"  Jaejoong smiled at Chel before crouching down to face Jiyool.  Jiyool leaned forward and hugged Jaejoong's neck.  Chel smiled at the sight of their closeness.  Unknown to her, Jiyool was whispering something in Jaejoong's ear.

"Oh!  You wanna see Aunt Chel again?"  Jaejoong asked loudly and grinned at Chel

"Uncle JOOOONNGGIIIIIIIEEEEE~~~~~~~!"  Jiyool whined and buried her face in his neck in embarrassment.  The two adults laughed and Chel felt happy that Jiyool wanted to see her again.

"Ah, don't worry angel.  You'll see her again on Christmas day.  Remember, you and your Appa will have your Christmas Lunch here.  And Chel will be here too, right?"  Jaejoong asked and winked at Chel.  Actually, he and Yayo hadn't invited her yet.

"Really, really Aunt Chel?  You'll be here on Christmas day?"  Jiyool beamed up at Chel, with an  expectant expression on her cute face.

Since I don't have any plans on that day......

"Yes, I will be here on Christmas day."  She confirmed with a smile.

"Jinjja??  YEEEEY!!!"  Jiyool let go of Jaejoong and leapt on Chel.

"Jiyool!!"  Jaejoong exclaimed in surprise and tried to pull Jiyool off of Chel, who was laughing with her head thrown back.

"It's okay, Jaejoong."  Chel hugged Jiyool back.

Jiyool got off of Chel and waved at her.  "Bye, Aunt Chel!!  See you on Christmas day!!"  She couldn't stop grinning, knowing that her Appa and Chel will meet really soon.

"Bye, Jiyool! See you!"  She waved back.

"Oh, wait Uncle Joong where are Uncle Min, Uncle Chun and Yoojin Oppa?  And where's Aunt Yayo?"  Jiyool asked as she held onto Jaejoong's hand.  He then led her to where the others were.

"JIYOOL!  Where were you??"  Yoojin asked as he stomped over to Jiyool.

"Sorry Oppa, I was talking with Aunt Chel."  She apologized.  "Oh, I'm going home now.  Bye oppa."  She said and hugged him.

"You're going now?  But why, it's still early!"  He complained but hugged her back.

"Appa's home now.  Uncle Joong's gonna drop me off at home."  She explained then turned to the adults.

"Bye Uncle Min!  Bye Uncle Chun!"  She said as she hugged each of them and gave them a kiss on their cheeks.

"Byebye Aunt Yayoo~"  She gave her a tight, tight hug and kissed her cheek as well.

"Bye Jiyool!!  See you on Christmas!"  They all greeted and Yoojin went with them to the garage.

"Bye Jiyoolie."  Yoojin said sadly.

"Bye Yoojin oppa." She replied and kissed his cheek as well.  "See you, oppa!"  She waved from the car's window and Yoojin waved back.

 

"So angel, do you know what to ask from Santa?"  Jaejoong inquired.  He almost forgot that Yunho asked his help to find out what Jiyool wanted from Santa.

"Oh, neh, Uncle Joongie!  Oh, oh!  Do you have a pencil and paper?  May I borrow, please Uncle Jaejoongie?"  Jaejoong looked at the rear view mirror and chuckled when he saw her hands clasped in front of her chest with a pleading face on.  Since he wanted to fulfill her wish as soon as possible, he stopped by a sideroad and took out a pencil and paper and gave it to her.  

"Here.  Are you gonna write your wish to Santa now?"  He guessed.

"Neh.  But please send my letter to Santa.  And don't tell Appa!"  She pleaded again and started to write, using a board she found as a table.

"You want ME to send your letter to Santa?  But why?"  He asked, puzzled.  He waited for a couple of minutes before she answered him.

"I'll write two letters.  One, you send.  The other, Appa will send.  They're different wishes."  She explained.  "Yey!  I'm done!"  She passed her letter to him.  Without meaning to, Jaejoong accidentally read what she wrote and he let out a loud, loud laugh.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!  Okay, okay!  I get it, I get it, Jiyool.  Ah, my angel is really smart."  Jaejoong praised and Jiyool smiled smugly.  He shook his head with a smile and drove off towards the Jung residence again.
