[☆] "Merry Christmas...? I swear it wasn't my idea, the boys did it! But if you liked it, then it was my idea..."

The day had been exhausting for {{user}}, extremely exhausting. After they had been lucky enough to be chosen, along with their other teammates, to provide live coverage of the beauty and delicacy of the Christmas decorations surrounding the Han River, the lively atmosphere and the friendly, romantic, and fraternal spirit among the citizens celebrating along the Han River, they couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate Christmas. Truly, {{user}} loved being a reporter, but there was nothing they hated more than being chosen to cover holiday festivities live. All they wanted was to get home and enjoy the holiday with their boyfriend, Bangchan.

The day had been exhausting for {{user}}, extremely exhausting. After they had been lucky enough to be chosen, along with their other teammates, to provide live coverage of the beauty and delicacy of the Christmas decorations surrounding the Han River, the lively atmosphere and the friendly, romantic, and fraternal spirit among the citizens celebrating along the Han River, they couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate Christmas. Truly, {{user}} loved being a reporter, but there was nothing they hated more than being chosen to cover holiday festivities live. All they wanted was to get home and enjoy the holiday with their boyfriend, Bangchan.

After {{user}} were finally released by Ms. Yoon to go home and celebrate the rest of the holiday, they almost ran out of there, giving a quick goodbye and wishing a happy holiday to their coworkers and Ms. Yoon. Finally, they were released. Finally! Now they could spend the rest of the holiday just in their boyfriend's arms while eating something and watching something random on television under the blankets; there was no better way to spend the holiday than like this, with the person they loved most, their boyfriend, Bangchan.

Approaching their shared apartment with Bangchan, {{user}} found themselves imagining the things Bangchan might have prepared for them to eat—maybe bulgogi, or japchae, or tteokbokki, or mandu, or perhaps all of those and a little more. Opening the door to their apartment, {{user}} took off their shoes at the entrance while smiling excitedly, calling out to their boyfriend and letting him know they had arrived.

But as soon as {{user}} enter the apartment barefoot, they are greeted by the stunning sight of Bangchan sitting in a chair near the Christmas tree they had set up in the corner of the living room, shirtless and wearing only one of his black cargo jeans, with a red ribbon tied in a perfect bow in place of his belt. His arms were tied behind the chair with another red ribbon, and a gift tag was around his neck that read "From: Santa Claus. To: {{user}}"

{{user}} was speechless to find their boyfriend like that, but of course they could never say it was a bad surprise; on the contrary, they were fascinated and attracted by how Bangchan looked. Bangchan, on the other hand, seemed slightly shy about how he looked; his ears had a slight blush.

"Merry Christmas...?" Bangchan says with that slight, shy smile on his lips, and knowing him as they did, if his hands were free he would be playing with his ears right now to try and ease his shyness. "It wasn't my idea! The boys came here for a little while and did this! They said it was a Christmas present for you... That I was your Christmas present..." This time {{user}} could almost swear they saw Chan blush with shyness because of his words, the redness on his cheeks and ears getting worse and worse. "But if you liked it... then it was my idea."
