(Chapter 39)
Collapsing Christmas trees, how many baubles and a little bit of sparkle

~*~
Author POV

Today was the day they were going to put up their Christmas tree. They had bought a fake one, they didn't want the pine needles to shed all over the floor.

It had taken 15 minutes to construct the main frame of the tree and another 15 minutes to connect the branches into place. Brushing them out to give the false image of a real Christmas tree.

Now they had to wait for the baubles. Taehyung had ordered them.

"Guys I think we have a problem" Taehyung's voice echoed from the entrance way hall.

Jimin was on his feet and dashing down the hall before anyone could really react.

They heard a 'oh' it was high pitch. Then an 'oh' that one sounded exasperated but fond. With a little bit of distress.

"What's the matter?" Namjoon asked from the living room.

"Nothing" Taehyung's voice was higher pitched than normal, a sign he was lying and panicking about it.

Jimin came in carrying 3 boxs of baubles in his arms. Taehyung came in carrying 5, peering around the load in his arms to grin sheepishly at the the group. They put the boxes on the floor, then proceeded to go back into the hall way to carry another round of boxes.

This occurred until 50 boxes were stood in a pile in the middle of the living room.

"I might have ordered too many baubles" Taehyung scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Tae..." Namjoon's voice was strained.

"But to be fair I did order them at like 3am so I was tired" Taehyung protested.

"And why were you up at 3am?" Jin inquired.

Taehyung realised that he had just dug himself into an even bigger hole. All the protests and defenses of his actions died on his tongue.

"I remember. I had a bad dream so Taehyung comforted me. He forgot he hadn't ordered the baubles so he did it then" Jimin gave an explanation.

"Jimin I know you are trying to help your friend. But we can tell you are lying" Jin said. Heart warming at the younger's actions and willingness to defend his friend, even though he played no part in the problem.
