Hi, Bambam here again.

It’s finally Christmas time. I’ve really just waited for December to come in months, and now it’s finally Christmas! It’s my second time celebrating Christmas in Korea, and It will never stop amazing me how romantic Seoul gets in December. Last year, Jackson told me he thought it was weird too, but also told me that it was just how Christmas is celebrated here, with your lover and not family. It’s weird I think, but it’s not like I can celebrate it with my family anyway.

But no matter how romantic it was, it was also cozy and delightful with all the shimmering Christmas lights. It was impossible not to get in Christmas mood after walking through even an alleyway! The snow-covered landscape were also taking part in making you completely fall in love with this city in December. It’s definitely one of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen. But that’s probably because it’s the first time I’ve seen snow. Yes you heard right, the first time ever.

And yes, I was surprised when I woke up to seeing rooftops covered by a good thick layer of white snow! Jackson laughed at me when I went outside and jumped right into it all in the nearest park by our apartment. It was cold, but fun, and we ended up building a very crappy but meaningful snowman.

But anyway, Christmas Eve was in four days, and Christmas holidays just started. No more homework and no more long school days until a few weeks, no more to worry about. Things weren’t like that with Jackson though. He had been training for a ‘Trainee dance team’ - or something like that, so he had been quite busy, coming home late to me sleeping, to wake up early. We almost hadn’t been together for the past few days, and both of us were sad about it, but I know it’s his dream, so the only thing I can do is to support him and help him through hard times. And he knows I don’t want him to stop, so we can both just hope that this would end soon, so we can celebrate a nice and lazy Christmas together.

‘’Good morning…’’ Jackson’s sleepy voice came from behind me. ‘’Good morning, did you sleep well?’’ I asked while cutting some vegetables. ‘’Sure… Why are you up this early?’’ He sat down. ‘’I wanted to make you breakfast, instead of you buying something unhealthy on the way. Besides, this is the last day, and then we can finally celebrate the holidays together.’’ I finished the food and sat down.

He began eating his food, and I began after a while. ‘’So what are you gonna do today?’’ he asked me, while he ate. ‘’Well I haven’t brought any Christmas presents yet, so today I thought would be a good day to do it.’’ He looked interested, ‘’What are you giving me?’’ I sighed and pulled my chopsticks down.

‘’…Nothing.’’

Silence.

‘’I know you’re joking…’’ He said serious, and I began laughing. ‘’You should’ve seen your face! You’ll get a present of course, but I’m not telling what it is. It’s supposed to be a surprise.’’ He looked like a grumpy old man as he got up to get dressed. ‘’But what should I buy for him?’’ I whispered to myself. I hadn’t really thought of Christmas presents until yesterday, so I had to clue to what I should buy for him. I want it to be special, but I’m not rich enough to buy us rings, so that was out of the question. But I had simply no idea at all.

‘’See you later.’’ He came to me and gently kissed my cheek. ‘’Bye.’’ He went out. I finished the dishes, and went out to walk Ace. The dog has become lazy because Jackson hadn’t been home a lot, so I have been the one to exercise him, and I get tired easily since I’m a bit weak and Ace has become a very strong dog. Jackson is very strong though, and often go for a run with Ace… But whatever, at least he gets fresh air and time to run around.

‘’I should’ve brought my Christmas presents in October...’’ The mall were packed with people. All the last minute buyers were running around everywhere with shopping bags and stressed out faces. I totally understood them though; Christmas is a stressful time of the year. All the Christmas present were to be brought, to be wrapped, and to be opened again. Overall, Christmas is meaningless to many people, but I do think it’s quite cozy.

But I still hadn’t figured out what to buy for everyone. My list didn’t contain of many people, but enough for my wallet to handle. I had to give Jackson a memorable gift, and Ace needs a present too. Also, a couple of my friends has brought to me, so of course they’re getting something from me too. Easy.

My friends’ gifts were found and brought fast, and I had brought a big bone for Ace, so only one left.

However, while shopping, I got this great (but a bit disturbing idea.) of what to give my lovely boyfriend.

‘’Welcome home.’’ I greeted Jackson as he walked in after his last day of training in December. I could already feel him burning up with excitement just from him walking inside. ‘’Thank you, baby~’’ He whispered from behind me, as his hands lightly s around my waist. ‘’What are you doing…’’ I said, but actually enjoyed the moment. I felt his cold breath on my neck, making me shiver. ‘’Stop it…’’ I kept saying, but I knew he wouldn’t, this was simply how he showed me his happiness.

Suddenly out of nowhere, I was pulled over his shoulders as he started walking towards our bedroom. I began blushing, and in seconds, my face had become one big tomato. ‘’R-Really, what are you doing?’’ my voice cracked, and he shushed me quietly. What are you doing, and why the heck are you walking towards the bedroom?! Relax Bambam, maybe he just want to cuddle… Who am I kidding, he- He threw me on the bed.

He took of his clothes.

The shirt first.

Then he pulled my shirt off.

Well this is definitely not cuddling.

Then- ‘’I have a surprise for you.’’ He smirked. My face again turning tomato red. ‘’P-present?’’ He nodded, ‘’Take off your pants.’’ He ordered and I complied.

‘’W-what now?’’ My voice kept cracking.

He walked out of the room, and came back with a black bag. This is making me very curious.

‘’Are you ready?’’ His y face made me shiver once again, and I had to look in another direction. ‘’J-Just… show me already…’’ I blushed and closed my eyes.

…

‘’Okay, change into this A.W.E.S.O.M.E pajamas I found in this store close to the company, you totally won’t believe how awesome that place was, they even gave me half price because I’m so damn handsome it’s so hard to handle.’’

Wait, WHAT

I opened my eyes and looked down at the pajamas laying on my lap. ‘’You… brought us couple pajamases?’’ I looked at him, hoping my expression would scare him away. He nodded and smiled at me. ‘’And you brought me a PINK one?’’ He nodded again. ‘’YAH! You jerk, I thought you were about to do something else!’’ I chased him around the house. He was laughing, and clearly knew what I was talking about. ‘’What were you thinking about?’’ He laughed, hiding behind the sofa as I tried to find the fastest way around it. ‘’Why did I even have to take of my damn clothes!’’ I yelled at him and went back to pick-up my shirt. ‘’Well I thought it would be nice if we wore the pajamases all day long, wouldn’t it be cozy?’’ He yelled from behind me. ‘’Cozy my …’’ I said to myself, feeling somewhat grumpy. ‘’Please, just wear it until Christmas! Come on, it’ll be fun!’’

‘’No.’’

‘’Come on, please! Then you’re the sweetest person alive.’’ I sighed as he slowly tried using his not working aegyo on me. ‘’Fine!’’ I gave up.

And that was how the next two days were spend.

Tomorrow it’s Christmas eve.  The Christmas tree was decorated, and all the presents was laying underneath the beautiful tree. Originally, this day was supposed to be our lazy day, but that was until unexpected guests knocked on our door. Me and Jackson had been on the edge of sleeping on the couch, when the doorbell suddenly began ringing It’s melody. We had both looked at each other, until he got up and went to open the door.

‘’Oh you’ve grown so much! It’s so nice to see you again!’’ A soft yet a bit loud voice sounded from the doorway. I couldn’t hear my boyfriend’s voice, which made me get up too, to see who had interrupted our lazy day.

I most definitely hadn’t expected Jackson’s parents to stand in the doorway. ‘’Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Wang.’’ I bowed deeply, not knowing what to do. It was my first time seeing them.

‘’Oh look at those cute cheeks.’’ Mrs. Wang came up to make and gently pinched my cheeks, making me blush a bit from embarrassment. I looked at Jackson, and clearly, he hadn’t expected this visit either. ‘’You must be Bambam, am I right?’’ I nodded. I knew they knew about our relationship, but it was almost making me nervous. If I had known they would’ve come, I would have been dressed fine and had prepared food, just to make a good first impression. However, there we were, standing in a pink and a blue pajamas. How embarrassing.

‘’Please come in!’’ I said, running to the kitchen to prepare some coffee.

‘’So this is your apartment, it’s quite big for two persons. Where’s your puppy by the way?’’ I heard Mrs. Wang ask Jackson, who followed her to be sure she wouldn’t find anything embarrassing or private. ‘’He’s looked after at one of our friend’s houses. And he’s not really a puppy anymore.’’ Jackson said. His mother looked skeptically at him. ‘’Whatever. Everything is so neat, I bet this is all thanks to your boyfriend.’’ They all sat down around the couch, as I poured some coffee for them. Jackson smiled, ‘’It is.’’ I blushed. He’s so cheesy.

We had long conversations going on about both of us, how we live and so on. It’s was funny, and I already got a good feeling about his parents.

December 24. Today was the day.

We woke up at 9am, and did our normal morning routine. Taking baths, making coffee, drinking coffee, and making food, eating the food. Since we only were two persons, we had decided not to make the big Christmas dinner, but still enough to leave remains for the next couple of days.

The day went fast as expected, and at 4pm, we took a walk in the park. Only very few persons were outside, making it even better for us. We wanted to be alone after all.

 Our hands were intertwined as we walked down the snow-filled path. The Christmas lights from the trees were marking up the path. I snuggled into Jackson’s side, and I felt him smile. ‘’Have I ever said that I love you?’’ He quietly, yet romantically said. I nodded, ‘’A few times, I think. I love you too.’’ I heard him chuckle.

It was cold, but the beat of our hearts made this moment warm.

As we came back, we ate dinner. Candles were lightening up the room as we ate with Christmas music in the background. The Christmas tree was standing brightly beside the couch, with the few Christmas presents underneath the tree.

This was the best Christmas ever.

‘’PRESENT TIME!’’ Jackson yelled as all the traditions were over with. ‘’Yours first.’’ He said, and waited patiently on the couch. ‘’Okay. I just want you to know that I love you. I couldn’t find anything special to give you, so I decided on this.’’ I gave him a letter. ‘’A letter?’’ ‘’Read it…’’

Dear Jackson

I originally wanted to give us rings, but that is somewhat expensive. I just wanted to give you something special, that would make you think of me every time you look at it. However, my creative mind suddenly went off, and I ended up doing this instead.

I will give you a day (for you to choose) when I will do everything for you for a whole day. You decide everything, and I will only obey the order.

It’s embarrassing to say, so I decided to write it down instead. So here you go.

Yours, Bambam.

 He looked at me with the creepiest smile I’ve ever seen on his face before. ‘’So have you chosen a day?’’ I said, looking away. ‘’Oh no I haven’t. I will chose the day, very carefully and smoothly. Just you wait.’’ I gulped. What did I even think! I should’ve brought the rings instead!

‘’Now it’s time for your present.’’ He walked to our bedroom, while I sat down on the couch, thinking about what he had in mind.

‘’Close your eyes.’’ He yelled from the bedroom, and I complied.

‘’Now open.’’

I opened.

‘’What is this?!’’

‘’I’m your present!’’ The man with the giant red bow on his head said.

Probably the baddest chapter I've ever made. Sorry, but you know... Writer's block has been... Blocking me.

I will re-write it in the new year, but for now:

MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
