after what happened between you and L.Joe, everything went back to normal. the two of you would tease one another again when he comes to your house or vice-versa.

Today was the 24th and your mother was making sure everything for Christmas eve was ready.

"Minah, We still need a lot of things for the Christmas tree~ all of our old decorations are gone!" She pouted.

"aish, eomma! why didn't you tell me two days ago when I went out!" you said and scratched your head.

"It's because you were panicking that day you kid, and besides it's just today that I remembered we have a christmas tree" She said

"Aish, they'll be a lot of people at the mall today, and it's gonna be cold!" you said

"Just call byunghun to accompany you!" She said

"ayy, the guy has a life! he might be out with his friends or something" you said

"pfft, you're just too lazy to go out" she rolled her eyes at you and pick up her phone. she started talking and you realized, she was talking to Mrs. Lee

"aaahh, so Byunghun is just playing video games?" Your mother nodded and then looked at you with a grin 

"can Byunghunnie accompany minah to the mall?" she said and talked  lot more before laughing and then saying goodbye.

"Aigoo~ looks like our byunghunnie is free after all" Your mother told you in a teasing manner "laziness at Christmas is bad minah." she chuckled and handed you her wallet "don't spend too much" she said and then proceeded to the kitchen.

you sighed and then went up to your room, it was winter so you got you jacket and your own wallet and phone then proceeded to go out and knock next door.

--

"So, what did your mom asked you to buy?" L.Joe asked

"Decorations for the tree" you boredly said

"ayyy you don't have the christmas spirit!" L.Joe said and ruffled your hair

"stop!" you said, pushed his hand away and then pouted but LJoe didn't stop and continued to do it while laughing.

--

"This should be enough right?" You asked him

"Of course, if your mom doesn't like those, I swear she's weird because a tree is still a tree" L.Joe said

"I think I'm forgetting something......" you suddenly paused and looked around

suddenly L.Joe's phone rang and it was ricky.

L.Joe seemed to be patient at first but then he turned irritated "ARASSEO ARASSEO YOU KID!!!!" he said and then ended the call without saying goodbye.

"You know, you're a bit harsh to your dongsaeng" You said and chuckled

"Aish he's so annoying, asking me for a gift that's expensive! he want's a new nike shoes! How the hell would I buy that when I can't even buy for myself!!" L.Joe said and scratched his head.

you looked at him and thought crossed your mind

*that's what I'm forgetting... a gift for L.Joe!!* you thought

"so you mean you want a nike shoes for yourself too?" You asked as if you're just continuing the conversation.

"Of course! I won't buy one for an annoying dongsaeng if I had the money, I'd buy it for myself" L.Joe said and looked around.

"I'll look for a good gift for the guys first, what about you?" He asked

"Hmmm, I'll be looking around too" You said and smiled

"Alright, just text me where you are, alright?" L.Joe said and looked at you and you nodded.

You waved at him and started to walk away but then L.Joe held your arm and turned you around to look in your eyes then at the paperbags in your hand "Let me carry those" he said

"Ani, it's pretty light" You said and tried to get it back but he moved further

"Don't forget to text me, okay!?" LJoe said and turned around then walked away.

you looked at him and blinked, just then a smile formed on your lips. you turned around and proceeded to the fourth floor where you know the nike store was located.  you always make sure that you have money when it's christmas so that no matter how expensive your gift were, it was okay. you've always gave Jisoo and Minji an expensive gift but surely they won't mind if it was LJoe this time.

----

you were carrying four bags when you and LJoe met up.

"you bought a lot!" LJoe said and peeked at it.

"pffft, not really, you did" you said and looked at 7 bags he was holding plus 2 bags that was what the two of you bought that your mother asked.

"you ready to go home?" L.Joe asked and you nodded.

the two of you were walking when a wind blew your hair and you shivered "Aish" you whispered

"you cold?" L.Joe asked

"eh? no, of course not" you said

"pffft you are" he said

"no, I'm not so don't take off you jacket, you'll het cold too" you said

"who told you I will take off my jacket. ayyy you and your fantasies" LJoe chuckled 

'you--" you were about to hit him when he grabbed your hand and dragged you with him

"C'mon, there's a coffee shop there, let's get some hot coffee or hot choco" L.Joe said and smiled.

after getting those, the two of you proceeded to go home.
