"Love yourself first, and everything else falls in line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world."

Jin sat silently with Namjoon beside him in the car. Both of them not saying anything to each other.

No one was ready to take the first step.

Namjoon stared at the laptop screen and Jin gazed outside.

Except them everyone was excited for the holiday.

Jin didn't feel any happiness. He remembered the time when he was always excited to celebrate Christmas with his parents and siblings.

And now, no such excitement was there. The thought of his family made him feel more dejected and tired.

The only thing that brought a small smile on his face was the thought of meeting ChangHoon.

Though he's worried about-- what if Namjoon noticed his behaviour with ChangHoon and stops him from meeting the kid.

It will hurt him and he doesn't want to, the little boy is his only happiness at the moment.

The car came to stop, and their secretary opened the door for Namjoon, who set his laptop device aside.

Jin watched his husband get out of the car and walk towards his door.

Like a gentleman Namjoon opened his door, too and streched his hand forward for him to take with a smile.

The elder took a deep breath before he placed his hands in Namjoon's.

Smile and act.

A smile bloomed on his face as soon as he was out. And an arm was wrapped around his waist.

Jin wanted to just stop, get away from his husband and shout at him. But he held it in.

He heard a few camera clicks which made him frown.

The elder turned around and saw a few reporters there, less than usual because of the holiday.

Jin sighed knowing what's about to happen.

When Namjoon pulled him towards the orphanage. The reporters requested a picture of the couple.

His husband declined at first with a polite smile. But they were stubborn.

"Alright,one picture because you came here even on the holiday and it's cold out here." Chuckled Namjoon.

Soon he was pulled in front of them. As they gave their big smiles to the camera.

The same fake and professional smiles.

And Jin already knew that the day is going to be a lot longer than he thought.

★★★★★★★

"Welcome, Please we are really honoured that you decided to join us on this special day. It means a lot to us and the children. " The head of the orphanage greeted them at the entrance with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

Namjoon smiled and shook his head.

"No, we are really honoured that you decided to invite us here to celebrate the holiday with all of you. "

Jin also smiled and stood a little behind him.

"Flowers for Mr. Jeon here." Said the head and offered them to Jin.

The said person chuckled and took them.

"Thankyou, they are really beautiful."

Although he really didn't like to be called with his husband's last name now. He didn't say anything. Because it was also the truth. He's a Jeon.

Isn't it funny, he used to adore his name with his husband's last name in the past. But in the present, he doesn't even like it a bit.

He shook his head. It's not the correct time to dwell on his thoughts.

He was quiet all through the exchange. The head guided them to his office,where him and Namjoon talked about the donations and facilities for the kids.

Jin smiled a few times in between and nothing else.

"We all are really grateful for all the donations and the gifts you have given us. Thankyou."

"It's nothing. Don't mention it."

"The children here made posters for you in a way to thank you. We collected and printed in a form of booklet."

"Here."Explained the head of orphanage.

Namjoon grinned and took the booklet.

He saw every poster while flipping the pages.

Now interested Jin leaned a bit towards him to see the posters.

"All of them are adorable. "

The booklet was soon placed on the table in front of them.

They started another conversation when Jin took the booklet.

He truly smiled at the kid's drawing. Some of them were on Christmas and in some kids attempted to draw them.

He bit his lips to stop himself from grinning when he saw a drawing of Christmas night landscape.

He saw the name of the kid who drew it.

ChangHoon.

My little angel is such a great artist.

He thought and smiled as he traced the drawing with his palm.

★★★★★★★

After some talk they were lead into a big hall, where a Christmas tree was sat up and shinning brightly with all the lights.

The gifts that they brought for the children already set under it.

Tables and chairs were lined up and the kids were on their seats. Their murmuring and chattering has filled the whole hall.

When they entered, all the attention went to them.

Jin and Namjoon bowed to everyone.

The elder also saw ChangHoon on one of the table. The boy was looking at him with a big smile.

In return he smiled back but didn't move to greet him.

Jin did forget that his husband was with him.

They sat down on a table and joined others.

Kids thanked them for the gifts as they looked at them in adoration.

Everything went well, Jin was surprised and happy about it. Namjoon didn't try to talk to him. And a small girl next to him kept him from getting bored.

★★★★★★★

It was the time to open presents. Kids were excited and elated.

Jin couldn't help but chuckle at their cute actions.

The way they squealed and hugged the plushies and giggled when they saw the board games,video games,too.

ChangHoon was also hugging a white furry plushie.

Jin smiled when he saw the look of pure happiness on their faces.

He selected all of them, the day prior. So he was glad everyone loved them.

Namjoon disappeared somewhere saying he got an important call and the elder ignored him.

ChangHoon invited him to play games with his friends and he joined them because his husband was not there. So there was no need to be cautious.

All the kids made the day rememberable for him. And after few years, he enjoyed the day.

Maybe this year's Christmas was not that bad.

★★★★★★★

Taehyung was asleep, all cuddled up with his pillow in the thick yet soft comforter.

It was midnight. The moon could be seen from the window.

Suddenly he felt himself being shaken awake. He whined and hid his face under the comforter.

But the person didn't stop. It took some minutes for him to be awake. He sat up annoyed, ready to glare at anyone who disturbed him.

But what he didn't expect was to see his dad and Jimin standing beside him.

"Happy Birthday to you."

"Happy Birthday to you."

"Happy Birthday dear Taehyung."

"Happy Birthday to you."

They sang softly and Jimin showed him the cake that he was hiding behind his back.

The younger gasped loudly.

It's his birthday.

His shocked expression immediately changed into a beautiful big smile.

"Happy Birthday, Taehyung." His dad and Jimin said at the same time.

"Thankyou so much."

"Quick blow the candles."

Younger nodded and clasped his hands together, closed his eyes to make a wish.

Please make everyone around me happy and give them good health.

After some seconds he opened his eyes and blew the candles.

"Really, thank you so much dad and hyung. "

Mr. Kim chuckled and kissed him on the forehead.

"I love you, my bear."

"I love you too, dad."

It was quite surprising when Jimin hugged him. But the embrace was all warm and he loved it.

★★★★★★

In the morning when he descended down the stairs. He was surprised again.

His dad and Jimin were standing in the living room which was now covered with the fluffy and coloured cushions and the soft blankets.

"What is this ?" He asked shocked.

"You said no celebration,parties or presents. So we decided to do a movie marathon." Answered Mr. Kim and Jimin nodded with a smile.

Taehyung bit back a smile.

"Thankyou."

They just shook their heads.

"Come on hurry up and join us. We are are going to start the first movie."

★★★★★★★

Taehyung really enjoyed his day. It was spent watching movies and eating all his favourite food with his dad and hyung.

Throughout the day, he checked his phone a lot of times and thanked everyone who wished him.

But he was disappointed, too. The whole day went by as he now sat on his bed in his pajamas.

Everyone wished him except his husband.

Jungkook didn't call or text him which made him frown.

"Did he forgot ?" He wondered.

★★★★★★★

Jungkook soon pulled up in the front of Kim mansion.

It was late. He was late and he knew it.

Namjoon gave him a lot of work yesterday which made him a lot more busy.

This time he has sneaked out and would have to go back in few hours.

"Remember what I told you ?" Asked Dr. Yugyeom on the phone.

"Yeah, I'll talk to him today."

"It's not a good topic to talk on his birthday but sure. "

Jungkook sighed.

"I have already avoided this topic for long. I can't now. I feel really guilty." He murmured.

"Okay ,talk to him than."

★★★★★★★★

Taehyung smiled when he saw a text from a very familiar contact.

I'm waiting downstairs.

He wore a big sweater and scarf over his pajamas and ran out.

Oddly very excited to see his husband.

★★★★★★★

"Jungkook ? "

The said latter turned around to face him and smiled.

"Happy Birthday, Taehyung." He said and showed the presents to him.

The younger grinned and moved forward to hug him.

Jungkook was taken aback but soon hugged back.

"I thought you forgot. "He huffed but didn't pull away from the embrace.

"I'm sorry,hyung gave me a lot of files. I got really busy. And I didn't want to wish you through a text."

"It's okay."

The younger pulled back from the hug and stepped away.

"Here, your presents."

"It was not needed. You just gave me some on Christmas. "He frowned.

"No, I wanted to give you more, open them."

The younger tried to maintain the frown on his face but the way his husband looked at him with his big eyes. He couldn't resist.

He smiled and nodded.

Taehyung took the smaller one first and unwrapped it.

It was jewelry box. He opened it only to gasp silently.

Taehyung carefully took it in his hand and examined.

Jungkook looked nervous.

It was an anklet. A beautiful crystals and gold embedded one. It looked expensive and it was expensive.

"I love it. Thankyou so much, Jungkook." Said Taehyung with a grin. The gift really meant a lot to him.

His husband just shrugged and looked away.

"Open another one. "He said.

And the younger nodded enthusiastically.

"A Polaroid camera." Exclaimed Taehyung ,all excited.

"Yeah , you lost yours. So a new one."

"Oh my God. Thankyou." He hugged him again excited and happy.

Jungkook smiled.

Taehyung loved my presents.

★★★★★★★

"So you had fun, today ? "Asked Jungkook as they now sat in his car.

The seats were pushed back. So that they could lay down comfortably.

They decided to sit in the car when the snow started falling.

Heater was turned on by Jungkook when he saw the younger shivering.

"Yeah. It was a really fun. I enjoyed every second."

"I'm happy,than."

They could see the snow fall down because of the glass roof.

It was beautiful.

"Taehyung ?" Started Jungkook and sat up.

"Yes ? "

"I need to talk to you about something. "

"What ?"

"Please don't get mad and interrupt me. I only want the best for you. "

Taehyung was confused but nodded.

"I have heard you cry in our room. You used to cry every night." He confessed.

"I know you don't now. Because I was with you at Christmas night. And I was awake most of the time just to check you."

The younger stared at him wide eyed.

"I don't want to invade your space. But you crying at that nights means something is wrong. "

"I-- I--"

"I know it's difficult to talk to me about it."

"No."The younger shook his head.

"It's nothing like that. I just don't know what to say. I mean yes I cried I'm not going to deny it. But I'm fine now."

"It was just that I missed my mom and everything around me was so negative. It kind of affected me. I was all alone and I had no one to talk to. You were also rude to me."

He whispered the last part but Jungkook heard it. And he felt a pang in his heart.

"I am so sorry."

"It was overwhelming. I was worried about my dad,too. I felt alone."

"But I'm okay now." He said.

Jungkook took a deep breath.

"I don't know that, Taehyung. When it was the time for me to take an action and help you. I was busy with my own turmoil of problems."

"But I feel bad. I want to correct it. I apologise again but I have set up an appointment with a good therapist. Please just for me, visit him."

"I don't think there's a need though."

"There's no problem in going. If there's nothing wrong you don't have to visit again. But just go for once."

"I am okay. "He argued.

"I feel alright."

"It's just for an hour, nothing more than that. I just want the confirmation."

"No."Denied Taehyung.

"What ? " His husband said in disbelief.

"I said no."

"Don't be like this. It's for your benefit only ! " He shouted this time.

Taehyung jumped up startled.

Jungkook saw this and gazed outside the window as he tried to take deep breaths and counted to ten.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to shout. I am just saying there's no issue in going. If you're okay, we'll drop this topic and you can get treated if something's wrong. "He said and faced him.

"It's only for you. I care about you. "

"You want to help others right ? You have to love and take care of yourself first before you do it for others."

"Please." Said the elder.

The younger looked a lot hesitant.

"I'll be there with you at every step. I promise."

Jungkook held his hand and squeezed it to assure him.

"Okay. I'll meet them."

"Thankyou so much." He said and sighed in relief, kissing the back of his palm.
