Jinho: i slipped off to the restroom n now they're gone

Hongseok: oh? i hadnt noticed... anyway, shoo shoo! i have cooking to do.

Jinho: *shrugs, goes to his room to play computer games*

Hongseok: *suddenly stops cooking, turns off the stove, unties his apron, looking somber* they couldnt wait. just like that, they all left. all my hard work's gone to waste.

Hongseok: even my best friend's abandoned me. 😢 oh woe is me, woe is me

Jinho: hongseok

Jinho HONGSEOK

Hongseok: *jumps up from his chair* WHAT?

Jinho: I SMELL SMOKE

Jinho: I THINK SOMETHING'S BURNING!

Hongseok: *is disoriented* i must have fallen asleep... *sees the others sitting at the table, competing over phone games, waiting eagerly for holiday dinner* then... was it all just a dream?

Jinho: *rushes in wearing a mask* wheres the fire?! *points the fire extinguisher at Hongseok*

Hongseok: aish ur overreacting. its just a little overcooked, thats all

Jinho: 🔥!!!

Yan An: why is the turkey black?

Wooseok: dont be so racist geez

Wooseok: its not the turkey's fault that some fool burnt it-

Hongseok: *pokes it w/ a fork but its rocksolid* dinner is ruined. 😧

Hongseok: *flops in a chair with his head in his hands* some1 pls tell me im still dreaming...

Shinwon: we can always go to mcdonalds

Shinwon: they have a roasted turkey-

Hongseok: WE'RE NOT EATING AT MCDONALD'S

Yeo One: guys, its ok. we'll just have to improvise, that's all.

Wooseok: *reluctantly opens the cabinet* ive got the ramen...

Hui: n... i guess i'll make some instant rice.

Kino: dont we have some meat left in the fridge?

Hui: i think so...

Kino: I'll chop up the samgyeopsal and fry it up

E'Dawn: might as well boil some eggs, too, i guess

Hongseok: *sulking* this isnt christmas

Hongseok: its a cheap convenience store dinner

E'Dawn: u can starve if u'd like but we plan on eating tonight

Hongseok: i deserve to starve after letting u all down. *gets up from the table* and to be quite honest, i dont even feel hungry anymore. im going to bed. 😴

Yeo One: aww, hongseok dont be like this

Yan An: it wasnt just ur fault

Yan An: we shouldve helped out more, kept an eye on things. u must've worked yourself to death to fall asleep like that...

Jinho: just leave him. at times like these, its best to give him some space. trust me, i know.

Hongseok: *lies down on the bed, his spirits low* gosh... what a terrible day. i ruined everything. when i wake up in the morning, i wish this would all just be a nightmare.

Hongseok: i feel so tired all of a sudden *yawns* almost like i'll fall asleep right now...

/some time l8r/

Hongseok: *slowly opens his eyes, looks around the room in confusion* how long has it been? how long have i been sleeping?

Jinho: happy christmas eve~

Hongseok: did u say christmas eve?

Jinho: what other day would it be? 🙃

Hongseok: +=+ im not even going to question it. this time, i'll do it the right way. no more silly mistakes. I'll cook the best dinner for my hyungs and dongsaengs. THIS WILL BE THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO!

Jinho: we were just planning on going to mcdonalds
