The Jeon house was alive with the spirit of Christmas.

Jisoo couldn't help but beam at Jin, saying with a playful twinkle in her eye, "Jin oppa, we're pulling off this Christmas feast like pros!"

Jin, wearing a festive apron, chuckled in response, "Well, someone has to do it. Since Yoongi moved to New York, our little Taehyung here has become our chef extraordinaire."

Taehyung, immersed in his cooking, hummed a cheerful melody as he skillfully prepared the ginger bread.

Yoongi, sitting nearby and lending a helping hand when needed, observed Taehyung with a soft smile. "You know, Taehyung, you have a knack for this."

Taehyung glanced over at Yoongi, his eyes reflecting gratitude. "Thank you, Yoongi hyung."

While the festive preparations continued in the kitchen, a different drama unfolded in the living room. Jeongguk, seated on the couch, couldn't help but watch Yoongi and the omega with a sense of unease.

Jeongguk mumbles" doesn't yoongi hyung seem too interested in taehyung. I thought he still wasn't over his ex "

Yugyeom, with a mischievous glint in his eye, mimicked the way taehyung calls him, "Oh, absolutely, Mr. Jeon. It's almost as if our little chef is teaching Yoongi hyung the secrets to his heart. After all, all you need is more love to move on."

Jeongguk clenched his jaw, his jealousy bubbling to the surface as he continued to watch the pair. The unspoken tension between them was palpable.

In another corner of the room, Namjoon and Jeongguk remained locked in icy silence. Jeongguk shouldn't have talked to the elder alpha the way he did but he can't help but feel disappointment that his brother doesn't trust him.

Hoseok and Soobin, on the other hand, were their usual bubbly selves. They had a talent for spreading joy, and they were thoroughly enjoying their time with the adorable Myung.

Soobin couldn't resist making silly faces, exclaiming, "Myungie, look! I'm a scary monster!"

Hoseok joined in with enthusiasm, "Boo! It's the monster attack!"

"monwsterss!" Myung-dae giggled with pure delight, his tiny hands reaching out to touch his playful uncles. The room echoed with laughter and happiness.

Amidst the chaos, Taehyung took a moment to find Jeongguk, who was clearly agitated. He approached him cautiously, concern in his eyes.

Taehyung softly inquired, "Mr. Jeon, is everything alright?"

Jeongguk tensed, his facade slipping momentarily. "Yeah, everything's just great, Taehyung."

Their eyes locked, and in that brief moment, the world seemed to disappear around them.

Taehyung, his voice barely above a whisper, confessed, "You know, Mr. Jeon, even though you can be... intimidating, I don't understand how you always intrigue me."

Jeongguk's heart raced at Taehyung's words, and he leaned in closer, their breaths mingling. "And why might that be, Taehyung?"

Taehyung looked away, his cheeks tinted with a faint blush. "I can't quite put my finger on it, but maybe..."

Their moment was interrupted by the sounds of laughter and merriment from the living room. They both turned to see their friends and family, sharing warmth and joy together.
