- Jumin's spaceship rambling: Would I have to dress up as Santa Claus once I get married and become a father?
Zen is frustrated. Not at himself for making too much mistakes on the line during the rehearsal, but at the fact that he's still working on Christmas. He should have asked for the production schedule before he signed the contract which he happily did at that time because it was to be held in the prestigious Korea Music Hall. Jumin shared the same predicament when his client wanted to hold a Christmas fundraising event using both their companies' name. An opportunity Jumin couldn't resist either as it would boost his company image and stock.
A few weeks ago when they discussed about their Christmas plans, they realized they won't be having one for their own. Zen apologized profusely. Should he had not taken that job, he would at least still accompany Jumin to the fundraising event. 'Don't apologize and even say that. That job is one of the things you've been looking forward in your career, right?' Zen pouted and cried on Jumin's shoulder. 'It's not fair. We just got married and yet we couldn't spend our Christmas together.' Jumin pats his head and runs his other hand on Zen's back to soothe him. 'There, there. It's unfortunate but we still have many future Christmas that we can celebrate together.' 'But still… It's our FIRST Christmas together as married couple…'
Christmas for Jumin is yet another public holiday that has lost its original meaning and intention and becomes more on capitalist consumerism. However, seeing how upset Zen was, Jumin knew he had to do something for their own sake. He won't let it be the dark spot of their marriage.
Christmas Eve dinner was tense and awkward with Jumin's father and his new girlfriend. It was the first time for Zen to attend the dinner as it was a tradition of the Han family to gather on Christmas Eve and also for the New Years. Throughout the dinner, Chairman Han only spoke minimally to Jumin and focus more on his companion. Zen knew Chaitman Han is purposely avoiding him as he did not approve of their union. These whole façade is making his blood boil but he had to maintain his cool as Jumin requested him to before they left home.
When they left the restaurant, Jumin heaved a sigh of relief before Zen could say anything. 'Thanks for coming with me, Hyun.' 'Don't mention it. It's your family's tradition. And since I'm part of your family now, it'll be rude of me for not coming even though your father didn't even talk to me. I almost lost my patience there.' Jumin chuckled. 'It's a good thing I've been holding on to your hands the entire time. Give him some time. He's slowly accepting you.' 'I do hope it's soon.' Back at home, Jumin places a kiss on Zen's cheek causing the younger male to blush. 'What was that for?' 'That's for your good behavior.'
'The shower is free now.' There was no response. 'Babe?' Zen found Jumin fell asleep sitting on the couch in the living room. The days leading up to Christmas has been hectic for both of them. As Zen admires the peaceful sleeping form of Jumin, he too fell asleep with his head resting on Jumin' lap. Jumin woke up some time later and found Zen asleep when he runs his fingers on his still slightly wet hair. Jumin shifts slowly and bridal carried Zen to their bedroom. He carefully places him on the soft bed before proceeding to lightly kiss him on the lips. Zen's eyes fluttered open. 'Jumin, what are you-' 'The princess is finally awake. Don't fall asleep with wet hair. You'll get sick, Hyun.' 'I thought you're-' Jumin sighed. 'I wish you could give your husband a little more credit. You really think I'd jump on you when we both have to be up early tomorrow for work?' Zen blushed and nodded. Jumin continues 'To be honest, it's so hard to control the beast in me. When I'm done showering and if you're still awake, we can continue to do more than just a kiss.' Zen's blush has turn deep red right now as he flings his arm up in the air and quickly move to the dressing room. 'Alright, alright. I'll go dry my hair and go to sleep.' When Jumin exit the bathroom, Zen was asleep soundly on the bed with the hairdryer still in his hand.
'Hyun, wake up.' Jumin tries to shake Zen awake but Zen mumbled while trying to hide back under the covers. '10 more minute...' Jumin has changed into his suit while waiting for Zen to be up but he's still in bed. Jumin whispered it into Zen's ear as he caress Zen's inner thigh. 'If you don't wake up now, you'll be my Christmas breakfast. And Assistant Kang will have to wait longer for me to get to work'. Zen is finally jolted awake and he quickly ran to the bathroom to get cleaned and changed, pushing Jumin aside. That was a close one. I almost gave in to that jerk's advances! Zen thought to himself.
That morning when they have their Christmas breakfast together was somber. Neither of them spoke anything as they eat their pancakes. Jumin finished his meal first. 'I'm done eating. I'll get going now.' Before he proceed to the main entrance, Zen pulls on his sleeve. 'Wait, I have something to give it to you.' He ran to his practice room and return with a gift wrapped box in his hand. 'I'm still sour at the fact we won't be seeing each other until tomorrow when you'll be back from work but I still want to give you your Christmas present.' Zen says as he hands over the gift. Jumin questioned 'For me?' Zen nods. 'Merry Christmas, babe.' Jumin hastily opens the gift and found a knitted scarf and a pair of mitten gloves. 'It's a matching pair with mine. I always wanted to make one...' Zen shows him the gloves and scarf he was wearing. They were indeed matching pairs. 'Is this what you've been busy making and hiding it from me for the past week?' Zen nods again. 'I'm sorry that it's not branded stuff or anything worth a fortune.' Jumin smiled. 'These worth more than any money can buy and it's the thought that counts. I love it. Thanks, Hyun.' 'Are you seriously gonna wear them to work?' 'Why not? I'll proudly show them off and how happily married we are for the world to see.' Red hue paint across Zen's face again. 'Hurry up and go. Don't give Jaehee too much work ok?' 'I can't promise that as she's paid to work as an employee. Bye, my sweet Hyun.' Jumin stole a chaste kiss as he heads out before Zen could protest.
That night, Zen returned home feeling relieved from work and yet lonely as he knew he would be spending the rest of the remainder Christmas day alone. When he proceeds to the dining room, he stops on his track at the sight of candles being lit and range of Christmas delicacies spread on the table. 'Welcome home, Hyun.' Zen was shocked to see Jumin standing next to the dining table, holding a bouquet of red roses and pink camellias and still wearing the gloves and scarf he made for him. 'Wha- I thought you're only returning tomorrow?' 'It was only a pretense to keep you in the dark.' 'How- Nevermind how you did it since I'm not gonna like what I'll hear. But when?' 'Around the day when we discussed about our plans, you were so upset so I thought I have to do something. And I'm glad I did.'
Zen was touched at the gesture to the point that his eyes are wet with tears. 'Are you really going to cry again like you did last year? Santa give me a crybaby again.' Jumin says as he walk towards to Zen and hands over the bouquet of flowers. 'How did you know I wanted a date?' Jumin rolled his eyes. 'It's so obvious. You won't tell me when I asked you personally but you'll expose it all in the messenger. You wrote it in your profile. I'm disappointed in you on that part, Hyun.' Zen became embarrassed and unable to look at Jumin in the eye. He mumbled 'Sorry...' Jumin smirked. 'I planned to bring you out to watch the romantic movie you always wanted but that will have to wait.'
Jumin crashes their lips together in a hungry kiss while pushing him towards the couch. The kiss break when they fell onto the furniture. Before Jumin seal their lips again, Zen manage to catch a breath and asks 'Wait, what about the food?' Jumin ponders for awhile. 'Hmm, I guess that will have to wait too because this...' His hand slide down and grab on Zen's crotch causing the paler male to gasp. 'This has been waiting longer since yesterday, am I right?' Zen bit his lips to suppress his moan. Jumin continues 'I'm just a fool who is completely madly in love with you.' Zen cups Jumin's face with his hands and smiled with happy tears again. 'I'm so happy to be able to spend this special day with you, my beloved. Thank you for the surprise. I love you so... so... much, babe.' Jumin return the smile and says 'I'm glad. Thank you for the gift. I love you too. Merry Christmas, Hyun.' 'Merry Christmas, Jumin.' Zen pulls him down for a passionate kiss and then one thing leads to another. No matter what, they're both delighted to be in each other's embrace for the special day.
