Christmas with Taehyung

25 Days of Christmas Challenge 

Prompt: Day 23 - Driving Home for Christmas Day 24 - Going to Bed Christmas Eve Day 25 - Waking up Christmas Morning

Authors note - This is very late, but it’s finally the last in my 25 Days of Christmas with Taehyung!

I’ve written the interactions with Taehyung’s family in English, and obviously they would speak Korean. I don’t speak Korean, so it was much easier for me to write something that flowed if it was in English. But just pretend that it’s translated from a Korean conversation hahah :) 

Also, if you haven’t read Day 1 and Day 2 yet, I suggest reading those first, as they are linked to this ending :)

“This is the last of it” I announced to Taehyung as I passed him two large containers of food to put in the boot of the car, along with our suitcases and a box full of presents. It was the morning of Christmas Eve, and finally time to drive the 3 and a half hours to Taehyung’s family home for Christmas.

We did a final check on the house, as Taehyung scooped up Yeontan and we made our way to the car. Taehyung strapped Tannie into his harness in the back seat, while I jumped in the front, turning around and cooing at the small pup.

“You excited to go for a ride Tan?” I stated in a cute voice, causing him to start wagging his tail.

Taehyung petted the tiny dogs head with his large hand “we’ll make plenty of stops for you too.”

I turned back around to clip my seatbelt on as Taehyung climbed into the drivers side. He pulled across his own seatbelt and started the car before turning to me and smiling.

“What?” I laughed.

“Nothing” he beamed “I’m just excited to go home with you.”

“We’ll see if you still feeling like that after three hours in the car with me and my obnoxious singing!”

As if on cue, Yeontan barked.

“At least we know someone is” I laughed, turning to rub Yeontan under the chin.

Taehyung turned his head to look out the rear window, placing his tanned arm on the head rest behind me. The sight still causing me to swoon.

It wasn’t long into the drive before I picked up Taehyung’s phone connected to his radio, and scrolled through Spotify. I grinned at him once Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) started playing through the speakers.

“The snow’s coming down” I sang loudly.

“Christmas, I’m watching it fall” Taehyung joined in, just as loud.

“Christmas, lot’s of people around. Christmas, baby please come home” we sang together.

I looked over at my boyfriend, admiring how the morning sun lit up his dark skin and the way his cheeks hid under his sunglasses when he laughed, wondering how it was possible to fall more in love with a person each day.

                                                         ***

“You okay? You’ve gone really quiet” Taehyung observed as we drove through his hometown. 

“Hmm? I’m fine” I smiled back, fiddling with a thread on my knitted jumper.

Taehyung glanced towards me and raised his brows, not buying my answer.

I sighed. “I guess I’m still a bit nervous visiting your family.. they’re wonderful! And so welcoming! But sometimes I worry that they’ll come to think I’m not right for you.. I don’t know..”

I immediately felt his hand reach to grab mine and squeeze it. “I already told you, they adore you. And if they didn’t it wouldn’t change how I feel about you. I wish you could see how much people love you.” Taehyung brought my hand to his lips, placing a quick kiss against the back of it before resting our joined hands back on the center console.

I couldn’t help but smile at how he spoke to me. I was still a little anxious, but Taehyung being right beside put my jittery tummy at ease.

The car finally pulled onto a long, stone driveway leading up to a picturesque country home. Taehyung turned off the engine and immediately squeezed both my hands, giving me a reassuring smile before we stepped out of the car and walked up to the front door.

Without hesitation, Taehyung wrapped his knuckles on the wooden door before opening it.

“Annyeong!” He shouted, slightly crouching as Yeontan squirmed out of Taehyung’s arms and ran into the house. I could hear rushing footsteps follow in reply, 

“Taehyung!” His mother greeted as she emerged from the kitchen, pulling the towering boy into a hug.

“Eomma!” His boxy smile and squinted eyes showed how happy Taehyung was to be home.

Taehyung managed to grab the box of food from my hands just before his mother pulled me into a hug. “Y/N, ahh it’s wonderful to see you again dear!”

“You too” I smiled, hugging her back, all my anxiousness disappearing. 

“Come inside, we need more hands in the kitchen to help prepare the food for tomorrow!” his mother urged, pulling us both through the hallway.

Taehyung and I glance towards each other and smiled - happy to be home.

Later that night

After an afternoon of preparing tomorrows meal, eating, and family board games, I was sat with Taehyung’s family in the warm living room, the tv playing in the background. My back was resting against my boyfriends shoulder as I listened to his family catch up on each other’s lives.

I could feel my eyes getting heavy as a result of the long drive and busy afternoon, and barely noticed myself beginning to drift into a light sleep. I faintly heard Taehyung’s voice utter my name and feel his body move as he chuckled.

“I think it’s time the two of us went to bed, this ones already fast asleep” I heard him say as he rubbed his hand up and down my arm.

It wasn’t until I felt movement that I reluctantly opened my eyes to Taehyung’s face, my arms draped over his neck as he carried me upstairs to his room.

“Hey sleeping beauty” he winked, laughing softly.

“I fell asleep” I admitted, before realising I had done so while socialising with his family. “I need to apologise to your parents”

“It’s fine” he smiled “they could see how tired you were. Besides, they’re happy you feel comfortable around them.”

I nodded sleepily as Taehyung sat me down on his bed, quickly changing into my pjs. I heard the tiny feet of Yeontan making his way into the room, and jumping up on the bed. He circled around himself before deciding on the spot at the end of the bed. Freshly changed into his own pyjamas, Taehyung crawled into bed and pressed his body against my own to create warmth.

I wrapped my arm around his tummy, pressing my head against his side, instantly sighing at his presence. “Goodnight Tae.”

“Goodnight my love” he replied, kissing the top of my head.

The next morning

I awoke to unfamilar surroundings, with a familiar arm clung around my waist. It took me a moment to register we were back in Taehyung’s family home and Christmas morning had finally come. It was the one morning I could never sleep in as I turned to face a sleeping Taehyung, lips slightly parted and pouting.

He must have felt me stir, causing him to grumble and slowly open his eyes to meet my own.

“Merry Christmas” I smiled, voice hoarse from hours of sleep.

“Merry Christmas jagi” he replied deeply, pressing his forehead to my own.

“Ah” Taehyung suddenly said, causing me to jump as he pulled away. He sat up from the bed as he looked for something in his bedside draw, his caramel skin and toned back on full display.

He handled me a small package, neatly wrapped in ribbon.

“Tae” I smiled.

“It’s your last advent present”

I couldn’t help but giggle, looking up at him in confusion “you do know you only have to go up to 24 days for advent, love.”

“I know” he smiled bashfully. “But this is a special one, and I wanted to give it to you on Christmas Day.”

I sat up on all fours, leaning over to kiss his lips softly “thank you” I smiled, as I began to gently unwrap his gesture.

I disregarded the fancy paper, revealing Taehyung’s gift. I held in my hands the cutest pair of baby booties and a confused look on my face. “Wha- Tae?”

He laughed, rubbing his hand through his messy bed hair.

“Did I miss something? You know I’m not pregnant..?” I laughed.

“No, I know!” He giggled. Taehyung took one of the boots from my hands and began to fiddle with it. “Remember when we went Christmas shopping and we saw all those children meeting Santa?”

I nodded at the fond memory.

“And I said I couldn’t wait to start a family with you. I wanted to show you that I meant that. And we will always have something to remember this moment.” He kept his gaze focused on the small boot, smiling shyly and cheeks slightly blushed.

I placed my hand on the side of his face, bringing his eyes to focus on mine.

“God dammit I love you so much, Kim Taehyung” I laughed as my eyes blurred from warm tears. I reached out for his hand, lacing our fingers together. “And I can’t wait to start a family with you.”

Without saying anything Taehyung immediately pulled me into a hug, singing as he pressed his lips onto the skin of my shoulder. “And I love you endlessly, Y/N Y/L/N”.

He pulled back to reveal a smirk, and whispered in his deep voice “but don’t make me wait too long” he winked, causing my lower abdomen to stir and my cheeks to flush. 

We were brought back to reality hearing the sounds of Taehyung’s family waking up, unable to contain their excitement of Christmas Day.

“We should probably join them” I spoke almost in a whisper, still transfixed by my boyfriends gesture.

“I guess you’re right” he smiled shyly, gently moving the strands of hair falling over my eyes.”Merry Christmas, Y/N” 

I learned over, pressing a soft kiss against his parted lips. “Merry Christmas, Tae.” 

25 Days of Christmas Challenge - Update!

Firstly I just wanted to thank everyone who has read my work so far! I know it’s not perfect, and some have been better than others - but this is the first I’ve gotten back into writing after many years, so I do hope you have enjoyed my Christmas stories with Taehyung 😊

I know I have been behind on the days, and I’ve been doing my best to do at least write something each day. I also decided to combine some days as some of the prompts are very similar and I felt I could write one scenario with them, rather than similar stories. It also makes it easier to get more days out 😂

Finally, it’s a couple of days before Christmas and I still have a few prompts to write. I’m not sure how many I will get out before the 25th, as I’m organising a lot for Christmas, plus I may not be able to do much after. However, all the prompts should *hopefully* be out not long after!! So I will still be finishing the challenge (I’m determined!), it just might be a little late.

Thank you for welcoming me into the BTS writing community, for following this new blog, and for @writerofbts including me in this challenge!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas/Holiday/December 🥰💜🎄

Movie Night

25 Days of Christmas Challenge 

Prompt: Day 14 - Watching Christmas Movies

Authors note - short (but sweet) drabble for this prompt :)

Masterlist

I was sitting on the floor, my back against the couch as I scrolled aimlessly through my phone.

“Wanna watch a movie” Taehyung asked as he made his way over, stepping over me to sit on the couch. He sat with his legs on either side of my body and started softly playing with my hair.

I lent my head back between his legs, trying to look up at him.

“Something Christmassy?” I asked.

“Of course” he rolled his eyes, smiling “it’s a sin to watch anything non-festive during the month of December”

I laughed, appreciating how he loved Christmas time as much as me. I reached to the coffee table in front of me grabbing the remote to scroll through the Christmas section on Netflix. After Taehyung argued against me that Love Actually wasn’t nearly as festive enough, we narrowed our choices down to Elf and The Grinch. 

“They’re both one of my favourites, so you make the decision” I said, unable to choose.

Taehyung placed his hand on his chin, looking past me as he thought hard about the clearly tough debate. His eyes shot back to me, smiling “Elf!” 

“Elf it is” I replied, hitting play.

Taehyung grabbed me under the arms and pulled me up onto the couch next to him. He reached down next to the couch and threw our favourite knitted, grey blanket over the two of us.

We hadn’t settled into the movie long when the sound of tiny paws trotted across the kitchen tiles and into the lounge room. 

“Hi Tan” Taehyung cooed. The little pomeranian stared between us, tilting his head before hopping up on the other end of the couch. He turned in a few circles before curling up against a pillow. Taehyung gave his belly a quick rub before announcing he was grabbing us a drink and some snacks.

I paused the movie as he walked out of the room, and looked over to a relaxing Yeontan. I reached out and gave him a small pet “You comfy there, Tannie?”

Yeontan looked up at me, and quickly stood up to bound over to me. He sat down against my leg, gave a yawn as he stretched out his front legs, before curling up in Taehyung’s spot and falling right back to sleep.

Taehyung’s footsteps shuffled against the carpet as he walked back into the lounge room carrying two glasses of eggnog, and a bowl of popcorn under his arm. He stopped in his tracks when he saw his place was taken,

“Sorry babe, you’ve been replaced” I giggled, petting along Yeontan’s back.

“Tan what the hell?” he laughed, acting offended “are you trying to steal my girlfriend, buddy?”

“He might just be a better cuddler than you, Tae” I teased. 

“I don’t believe that for a second!” Taehyung replied, as he reached down to pick up Yeontan. The small dog squirmed within his hold as Taehyung sat back down next to me. Yeontan jumped out of Taehyung’s hands and scrambled under the blanket, curling back up between the two of us.

“He’s such a jealous boy” Taehyung laughed.

“Just like his owner” I smirked.

“Hey!” Taehyung pouted.

I giggled as I pulled my boyfriend close to be, careful not to squish Yeontan. “You do give the best hugs by the way.”

“Tannie’s got nothing on me” he replied, putting his arm around me and squeezing tight. Taehyung smiled his boxy grin at me, gabbing the bowl of popcorn to place between us, snuggled against each other as we enjoyed the festive film and the sound of Yeontan’s faint snores.

Thanks so much to everyone who has followed this blog so far! 💜 Your likes, reblogs and comments mean so much! I made this blog at the end of last year as lover of BTS and writing, and wanted it to be my creative outlet, and I already love the community it has opened me up to.

I have a list of prompts, and will try and write as much as a can. However, I am doing my Honours at uni this year, so I don’t know how frequent I’ll be able to update. Lack of motivation to write and perfectionism is also a downfall for me 😅

You Just Can’t Help Yourself, Can You?

25 Days of Christmas Challenge 

Prompt:  Day 18 - Singing Christmas Songs     Day 21 - Prepping food for Christmas Day

Masterlist

It was late morning, a few days before Christmas, and I was in the kitchen baking a handful of small desserts to take to Taehyung’s family for Christmas Day. Also planning on cooking a dish, Taehyung was currently at the shops picking up some ingredients.

I always needed something playing in the background while I baked, so while I had the house to myself, I decided to blast some Christmas music and sing along. 

“Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree.. for me. I’ve been an awful good girl. Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight..”

I swayed my hips along to the alluring tune, doing a solo performance in the kitchen as the kitchen aid mixed the cake batter. The room was so loud that I failed to hear Taehyung walk through the front door.

“Think of all the fun I've missed.. think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed. Next year I could be just as good, if you'll check off my Christmas list..”

I jumped when an unexpected pair of hands grabbed a hold of my rocking hips, immediately registering the familiar scent of my boyfriend.

Taehyung pressed his body against my back, his fingers gently pressing into my hips, his warm breath against my neck. “Why would you tease me like that jagi..”

His hips were pressed against my own, as he rocked them in time to the suggestive carol. “Oh, I’m the tease am I?” I smirked, a wave of heat and nervousness racing through my body as I felt how turned on he really was.

“Don’t you have some cooking to do?” I questioned, knowing very well I had to get this baking done.

“Mmm. Just dance with me a bit. Please.” I could hear the pout on Taehyung’s face, even when I wasn’t looking at him.

I spun around to face him, as my playlist switched to the next song. Taehyung’s face lit up as a slow version of a All I Want For Christmas Is You came on, he immediately began to sing along.

“I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need.. I don’t care about the presents I underneath the Christmas tree.”

Taehyung’s solid brown eyes bore into my own, a soft smile etched onto his face as he swayed us back and forth around the kitchen. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me close, as my own were held around his neck. It wasn’t long before I joined in with his singing.

“Cause I just want you here tonight, holding on to me so tight.. what more can I do. Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you”

I rested my head against his chest, resulting in him pressing his chin a top my head as he continued to sing. 

“I wish we could just stay like this, forget about the rest of the world” I hummed, as the song came to a finish.

Taehyung pressed a kiss to my hair before tilting my chin up to face him. “Me too, jagi” he smiled, before softly slapping my behind, his smile growing wider.

“You just can’t help yourself, can you?” I chucked.

“I don’t hear any complaints” he teased. 

“You’re family will complain if we don’t bring any food for Christmas!”

“Ah, good point!” Taehyung turned to grab the grocery bag he left on the table and I slapped his behind, resulting in him to jump forward as he ran into the other room. 

“You just can’t help yourself, can you?” he winked.

I shrugged, giggling, as I turned back to my baking. Taehyung soon joined me, the two of us spending the rest of the morning cooking, loudly singing along to Christmas carols, and continuing to flirt with each other.
