- Sungjong POV -

Once the clock tics 6 am I stand up on my bed and wake up from my none existing sleep, once I'm done with my morning routine I went down to the kitchen and see sungyeol hyung busy bustling in the kitchen well since the maids are all done he is doing everything all in his own. I greeted him a good morning and he just smiled at me, I know he would be too stubborn to ask for some help so I decided to do it on my own and started getting the food he finished cooking and put it in the table as I then set it up and after that I then started making myungsoo his coffee and as I make myungsoo's coffee sungyeol hyung is making some pancakes.

Hyung?

Sungyeol- hmm?

I'll be going out today okay? I have to go home for today and I might be home late

Sungyeol- oh okay but why do i feel like there's an "and" coming

And well I haven't told sungjun yet, well basically I haven't told anyone yet so I'm sorry if it would be rushed but can you just tell junnie on my behalf?

Sungyeol- eh why? Sungjun will be waking up any moment so just tell him

Well I kinda have to leave now, after this I'll just change my clothes and go

Sungyeol- you won't even eat breakfast?

Sorry I really need to leave now

Sungyeol- okay then leave it to me, I'll tell sungjun-ah and I'll also inform sir myungsoo about this

Thanks hyung and merry christmas once again, I'll be home maybe around 10 pm but you can still call me if sungjun started looking for me.

Sungyeol- ne

After I'm done making myungsoo's tea I then went back to my room and then change my clothes and grab my bag and the paper bag that is full of gifts for my friends. Once I'm ready to leave I went down and went to the kitchen where I'm sure sungyeol hyung is and like expected I see sungyeol hyung checking the dinner table making sure everything is ready and prepared. Once he saw me he smiled

Sungyeol- you'll be going?

Yeah, so hyung my phone is open and you can call me anytime sungjun started fussing

Sungyeol- okay jjongie, are you sure you won't eat breakfast anymore?

Ne, I really don't have much time

Sungyeol- okay then if you say so, just be careful okay? And if you need to be picked up just call me

Ne, bye hyung

After saying that I then head out of the door and just on time the taxi I called already arrived and I went inside the taxi and it immediately drive off, 10 minutes later I arrived at my house complex and I paid the driver and grab all my things as I went out of the car and head to the doors, I entered my passcode and then went to the elevator and pressed the floor of my house, once I arrived at my floor I walk towards the door and entered my passcode and pulled the door open and went inside. I took my shoes off and head inside

I'm home

I said silently, I took a deep breathe and my senses were immediately intruded with a not so pleasant smell and dust filled air. I put down my bag on the couch as I then went to the windows and open it to let the fresh air in and somehow let the stilled air out. The whole house smelled like no one has been here, well which was in fact true, it's been a month since I last been here. Anyway I went to my room and took my hairband and put it on as I then started cleaning since Hakyeon hyung would pretty much nagged me if he saw my house all dirty and dusty.

After an hour and thirty minutes of cleaning I finally finished tidying up and dusting the whole house and I also manage to change the curtains, together with my bedsheets. I wipe my forehead as I proudly look around my now clean and dust free house, I then went to the kitchen and check the fridge to see if there is anything I could use for later when I started cooking and also to see what I need to buy later, minutes later I hear my phone ringing so I immediately close the door and pick my phone up.

Yeoboseyo?

Hakyeon- yeoboseyo jjongie-ah?

Ah, ne hyung?

Hakyeon- just checking if you are all awake and to tell you taekwoonnie and I will be there around 12 noon

Arasseo hyung

Hakyeon- and taekwoonnie will be cooking pasta later and he pretty much have all the ingredients already so don't worry about that he'll just need your stove to cook his pasta

Okay hyung

Hakyeon- should I bring my laptop for when we call chullie hyung?

It's okay hyung I have my laptop here

Hakyeon- okay then I'll see you later ne?

Ne hyung see you later and take care ne?

Hakyeon- ne love you jjongie

kekeke nado hyung say hi to taekwoon hyung for me

Hakyeon- ne

I put the phone down and I then look at the clock and see that I have more or less 2 hours to go shopping and decorate even a little to somehow look like and have the house a christmas aura in it, so without wasting any more time I took my wallet and phone and head out to go to the grocery store. As I ride the bus going to the grocery store I couldn't help but think of sungjun, I'm sure he's already awake yet I haven't receive a call from sungyeol hyung so I guess he has it covered and that sungjun isn't crying as he looks for me.

An hour passed and I finally finished shopping, getting the things and ingredients that I will be using later and also ate some brunch, I put all the paper bags in the counter top as I then started putting the fresh food in the fridge and after putting all the things I bought I went to the storage room and took the christmas decor box and started hanging the decors that could still be used again. Once I was done I then decided that it was time to take a bath since any minute now hakyeonnie hyung and taekwoon hyung would be arriving.

Once I'm done taking a shower and getting dressed I hear the door opens up and I guess hakyeonnie hyung and taekwoon hyung just arrived. I walked out of my room and see them taking their jackets and scarf off them and smiled at them and hakyeon hyung hugged me once he finally took of his coat and scarf. I hugged taekwoon hyung also and then I see him walk towards the kitchen I guess to start cooking, hakyeon hyung placed the gifts in the table and then took a sit on the bar stool I took a sit next to him as we watch taekwoon hyung get busy in the kitchen

Hakyeon- so what time will chullie hyung call?

I actually don't know but I already have my skype open so he can call anytime

Hakyeon- okay that's good, key and taemin will be here in an hour or so

Oh really? I can't wait it's been a long time since I last saw them I really miss them 

Hakyeon- kekeke we'll they have been pretty busy with all their theater schedules

Mhm, gosh now I'm getting even more excited for our party

Hakyeon- kekeke

Taekwoon- uhm so what will we be the food other than the pasta?

Oh! Sorry hyung, we'll I was thinking we could make some roast chicken then some kimchi jjigae then some galbijim and stir fry.

Taekwoon- okay then

Hakyeon- so how is it going with the Kim's? You're still staying there?

Oh uhm, it's going alright I guess hyung and yes I am sungjun is quite happy because of that

Hakyeon- and how's it going with sungjun's y dad?

Excuse me hyung?

Hakyeon- oh come on jjongie I can see that you like sungjun's dad kekeke so tell me tell me!

Aisht hyung stop it, nothing could happen since he is the father of my student that would be wrong

Hakyeon- yet you like him don't you?

Hyung!!! Taekwoon hyung make hakyeon hyung stop please

Taekwoon- if I were you sungjong-ah I would just give up and tell him the truth he wouldn't stop until he got what he wants from you

Hakyeon- awww you know me too well taekwoonnie, so jjongie you like him don't you?

Ugh, hyung

Hakyeon- well even if you didn't tell me I already know the answer so oh well, I can see that you like him. Well who could blame you? Myungsoo-ssi does look handsome, y and still young and let's not forget he is also crazy rich!

I didn't know how to answer hyung and I couldn't help but thanks god when the intercom rings and so I immediately rush towards the intercom and see bummie and taemin standing by the door so I went to the door and open it and both hugged them once they come inside the house. Once they took off their shoes and coats we all head inside and hakyeon hyung then hugged the life out of them and key immediately helped taekwoon hyung with the cooking as taemin put down all their things down and the gifts on the table.

Key- everyone's here right?

Hakyeon- yep

Key- then lets get this party started

Taemin- I'll get the stereo playing then

I'll pour the wine then

I went to the cabinet and grab 5 wine glass and then put it down on the counter top as I then went to the fridge and grab the champagne I bought earlier and open it up as I then evenly pour each glasses with it. After that I then handed them their glasses and took a sit next to taemin who just finished setting the stereo up, the whole house is now filled with soft music. I look at the kitchen and see taekwoon hyung and bummie busy moving around the kitchen as hakyeon hyung sit on the stool because god knows what he will do if he help out cooking and well taemin and I are would just be a hindrance there so we just sit here in the living room.

Taemin- so jjongie you look really well, and I'm really glad to see you like this! I really hated seeing you all depressed and totally withdrawing yourself even to us. 

Yes I am minnie, I guess teaching helped me be like this once again. I'm sorry for making you worried

Taemin- it's okay jjongie, I'm pretty sure everyone would be like that after what you went through I'm just glad you are back now.

Thank you minnie, well how about you? How are you?

Taemin- we'll I've been busy with work, I got a lot of theater role offers right after one finished. It's really fun and well basically fulfilling since you know how much I wanted to do all these.

I'm really glad you are enjoying it then but don't tire yourself up okay? Make sure you take some rest also ne?

Taemin- kekeke ne don't worry jjongie

Key- yeah you shouldn't worry too much about taemin I got him and also this persistent suitor of his kekeke

Hakyeon- ohhh juicy, start spilling taemin I wanna know, what's his name and how he looks like? You know the drill

Taemin- Ugh bummie hyung seriously and hakyeonnie hyung spare me

Hakyeon- spill it minnie

Taemin- sigh fine, well his name is Lee Minho he's 25 years old and well he's a business man and he's been courting me for a few months already and well we've been going on a few dates for a couple of times already. He is actually really nice and well a total gentleman

Hakyeon- awww you like him don't you?

Taemin- well it isn't hard to like him hyung and I can see he is really serious about me

Key- I can totally agree to that especially since I did warn to kill him if he was just gonna hurt or even make taemin cry

Hakyeon- kekeke I can see this minho guy trembling with nervousness

Kekeke I'm somehow amaze how he didn't run away after bummie threatening him

Taemin- kekeke same here

Well that would be a good sign since that means he really is serious about you minnie

Hakyeon- so when will you tell him you like him too and why didn't you invite him like come on! We wouldn't mind if you brought him here and introduce him to us.

Taemin- oh he actually wanted to meet you all but he has to attend this christmas ball

Hakyeon- that's a pity then but next time let him meet this minho guy ne?

Taemin- ne hyung

How about jonghyun hyung bummie hyung? Why isn't he with you guys?

Key- well that ppabo has to attend those christmas special TV shows, he actually forgot our yearly party and accepted that schedule.

Hakyeon- wow it's like he is also an idol now, at first I thought it was idols only who need to attend those things but I guess even song writer and producers also have to

Key- tsk at first I also thought of that, well whatever he said he'll be here if he manage to leave early

Oh I'm sensing trouble in paradise

Hakyeon- more like no for a month

Taemin- kekeke I think so also hyung

Key- oh please you guys, how about you hakyeon I see taekwoon is still sane despite being with you kekeke 

Hakyeon- I'm offended bummie! Well he loves me like crazy that's why he is still sane, no matter how crazy I get he just accept it and loves every bit of it kekeke

Key- is that right taekwoon hyung?

Taekwoon- kekeke let's just go with that

Hakyeon- YAH! JUNG TAEKWOON!

We laugh after seeing hakyeon hyung gasping and hitting taekwoon hyung jokingly in the chest and taekwoon hyung is just laughing at him but later on pulled hakyeon hyung in his arms and hug hakyeon hyung then kissing hakyeon hyung's head which make hakyeon hyung shut up easily and smiled. I couldn't help but smile at them yet deep inside I also couldn't help but be jealous, I wonder when I can be like that with someone I like? Sigh sungjong it's not the time to be all sad, we keep on chatting when we then heard the intercom rings we look at each other clueless.

Taemin- are we still expecting someone?

Not that I know of,

Key- oh it might be jonghyun maybe the shooting got postponed or something. I'll go get it! 

Oh okay

Key the walk towards the door and we all just shrug and continue talking but then seconds later we hear bummie scream so we all rushed towards him and there I saw him hugging heechullie hyung and I couldn't help but scream also and rush towards chullie hyung and hug him. Bummie pulled away from chullie hyung so that I could hug chullie hyung on my own and I feel him hug me back, gosh I miss him so much. You could say that heechul hyung is my best friend and brother/ umma since I rely on him and tell him everything plus he was also one of the few person who tried to cheer me up and who was there for me when I really needed someone.

Heechul- I guess you missed me that much huh my castle bell?

I do! I thought you couldn't come this year? He call me castle bell because if you translate my name in english that would be the translation

Heechul- oh please! Like I would miss our yearly get together! Nuh-uh! Not even hangeng can stop me from coming

Kekeke I miss you chullie hyung

Heechul- I miss you to baby, actually I miss you all but you know I'm biased so I miss my baby jjongie more

Key- of course, you wouldn't be chullie hyung if you aint a jjong biased kekeke

Hakyeon- this is really a surprise hyung, when did you arrive?

Heechul- just now kekeke and hangeng is also here I just left him since he's unloading our bags

Taekwoon- I'll go down and help him then

Heechul- that's nice of you taekwoonie and I almost didn't notice you. I see still being a man of few words

Taekwoon hyung just nods his head and went toward
