Hello Lovelies! An Update To Say Ive Finally Finished The 25 Days Of Christmas Challenge (yes.. Its March

Hello lovelies! An update to say I’ve finally finished the 25 Days of Christmas Challenge (yes.. it’s March 😳)

I was a little behind during December, but it’s taken me awhile to get this last piece out 😂

Thank you to everyone who’s read and responded to my first collection of work on here, it truly means a lot.

And thank you to @writerofbts for creating and tagging me in this challenge.

You can read my challenge, ‘Christmas with Taehyung’ here 😊💜

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 🥰💜🎄

Our own separate, little Christmas

25 Days of Christmas Challenge 

Prompt: Day 13 - Writing Christmas Cards Together Day 16 - Wrapping Presents Day 22 - Exchanging Presents with the Boys

Authors note - this ended up being more about writing cards than exchanging gifts, I think my inspiration has been running a bit on the last couple of drabbles. I have one more to write for this series, which might take a while to be out as I’m hoping it’s the longest (and one of the more detailed drabbles)

Masterlist

We’ve got these presents to wrap for the boys, plus four for your family” I announced to Taehyung as I sat crossed-legged on the floor surrounded by wrapping paper, decorations, cards and a stack of presents. “Plus a card for everyone on this list.”

“I’ll get started on writing the cards, if you want to wrap?” Taehyung suggested, grabbing the Christmas card list I passed him.

I nodded, passing Taehyung the pile of cards as he sat in front of the coffee table.

The Grinch played on the TV as I wrapped and decorated the gifts we had bought for our family and friends. Taehyung occasionally asked for my input on a card, and read each one aloud to ensure it said everything we wanted it to. Once each gift was wrapped, I tied it with ribbon and added a small decoration of a mini bauble or fake holly. Then finally finishing with a large, festive tag, with love from Y/N and Taehyung written neatly.

I shuffled on my knees over to where he was sitting when it came to writing cards to both our parents. Family was a huge thing for both Taehyung and I, so each of us took the time to write how thankful we were to them, and how much we cared for them. As I finished writing my message to Taehyung’s parents, I turned to catch him reading over my shoulder, smiling.

“Hey!”

“Can’t I read it?” he smiled, innocently.

“Well, yeah I guess. It’s just kinda embarrassing..”

Taehyung squeezed my knee, before picking the card up.

Dear Mr and Mrs. Kim,

Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas, and wonderful new year. Thank you for inviting me to spend Christmas in your home, and for welcoming me into your family - I have always felt as at home as I do with my own family. I want to thank you for raising such a kind, caring and loving son. Taehyung is nothing but a gentleman, and always goes out of his way to make me feel loved. I know you’re just as proud of him as I am.

Looking forward to spending a Korean Christmas with you!

All my love, Y/N xxx

Taehyung finished reading the card, and looked up at me, fondness in his eyes. “Do you know how much they love you” he smiled.

I smiled back shyly, “okay, it’s only fair if I read what you wrote to my parents now.”

“Fair” he agreed, passing me the Christmas card.

Dear Mr and Mrs. Y/L/N,

메리 크리스마스  - Merry Christmas! Thank you for welcoming me so easily into your family. Y/N and I had a wonderful time visiting you earlier in the month, and getting to celebrate an additional Christmas! I know I do not need to tell you how amazing your daughter is. I love her with my whole heart, and would do anything for her. She is my entire world, and I want to thank you for allowing me to meet the love of my life.

새해 복 많이 받으세요 - Happy New Year!

Kim Tae-Hyung.

It wasn’t until I stopped that I realised tears had begun to form in my eyes. I looked up at my boyfriend as he spoke.

“Is it too personal?” he asked.

I shook my head quickly. “You’re going to make them cry, you know that?” I laughed.

“I just spoke what I felt” he smiled.

“I love you too” I said, pulling him in for a kiss.

Our moment was then interrupted by the ring of our apartment doorbell, indicating the boys had arrived for our gift exchange.                                        

I placed a quick peck to Taehyung’s lips, as I stood up to answer the door, Taehyung packing up and quickly placing the boys gifts under the tree.

“Y/N!” Hoseok shouted as I opened the door to the six boys and Jimin, Jin and Namjoon’s girlfriends.

“Hobi!” I smiled, as he pulled me in for a hug.

I greeted the others one by one, letting them through our front door and hearing the yelling from the lounge room as Taehyung greeted his friends. The girls and I rolling our eyes at each other, laughing at how child-like our grown boyfriends behave when they’re in the same room.

While everyone made themselves comfortable in the lounge, placing their own gifts under the tree, Taehyung helped me carry out drinks and snacks to share, placing them on the coffee table and joining the rest of the group. Taehyung took the empty arm chair, immediately pulling me onto his lap and wrapping his arms around me. His friends still cooed and whistled at their younger brother, even after the two years we had been together. While it still caused my cheeks to heat up, Taehyung had come to ignore it.

“Shall we start handing out presents?” Jin asked excitedly, receiving a joyful agreement from Hoseok.

I could’t wipe the smile off my face, watching the boys open their gifts from Taehyung and I, with Tae always giving me a slight squeeze in excitement when someone would start unwrapping one of our gifts. It made me even happier seeing Taehyung’s reaction to opening a gift for us (which he couldn’t help but assist me with the unwrapping!) His eyes would always widen in wonder, as he initially tried to work out what the gift was, to which he would then turn to me and discuss where we could put it, or what we would do with it, his face scrunched up into a smile.  

Afternoon turned into evening, the group of us having a wonderful time exchanging Christmas gifts, laughing, drinking and stuffing our faces - our own separate, little Christmas.

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.

25 Days of Christmas Challenge 

Prompt: Day 11 - Cozy Nights by the Fire

Warnings - a little heated near the end 

Authors note - this is not my title idea, it’s the title of a novel I read during this month and I thought it fit this story perfectly :)

Masterlist

Seoul was hit with yet another cold December evening. So after spending the day navigating stressed shoppers, ticking off the last of the Christmas gifts to buy and knocking out the grocery shopping as quick as I could, all I wanted to do was get home and straight into the hot shower.

“I’ll make a start on dinner, if you want to take a shower then, jagi” Taehyung offered after complaining to him about rude shoppers and my frozen toes.

“That would be lovely” I replied, pecking his lips lightly and forcing my heavy feat to carry me upstairs to our en suite.

I sighed as the high pressure shower poured the heated water over my body, the temperature something Taehyung always complained about if we shared the shower, saying I had it way too hot. Knowing he was just starting dinner, I took my time by washing my hair and exfoliating my face, being sure to look after my skin in the colder months.

After some time, I forced myself to turn off the tap and step out into the less warm bathroom, giving my hair a quick blow dry. Walking back into our room, I slipped on the Christmas pyjamas Taehyung gave me as my advent gift, grateful he knew to get me one size bigger so I could easily cover my cold hands and feet, as well as throwing on some fluffy socks.

I walked downstairs, expecting to be hit with the familiar smell of Taehyung’s home cooking. Instead, I walked into a kitchen that looked like it had barely been touched since I left.

“Tae?” I called out.

“In here” his reply coming from our living area.

I walked around the corner to be met with the room dimly lit, only illuminated by scattered candles and the open fire roaring. Taehyung was sat on the floor, tending to the fire, dressed in the pyjamas matching my own.

“What’s this all for?” A mixture of confusion and admiration on my face.

“No reason” he smiled, standing up to walk towards me “I always have such a busy schedule, so I want to make sure we have time for just the two of us” Taehyung wrapped his hands around my waist, pulling my hips against his own.

I looked around the room, taking note of two stemmed glasses sitting next to the bottle of wine and the array of snacks scattered on the coffee table. My head snapped back to his when our front doorbell rang.

“And that will be dinner” he said, dropping his arms and quickly walking to the front door. He returned within thirty seconds carrying two small boxes of pizza, sitting down with them in front of the fire.

“No phones. No tv. Just you and me” he said patting the space next to him.

I joined him on the floor, taking a slice of warm pizza. “Well you heard about my fairly shitty day” I smiled, taking a bite “what did you get up to today?”

We sat in front of the warm fire, nothing but our voices, the crackling fire and the faint volume of Christmas music playing through the speaker, filling the room. We spoke about our day, and caught up on each others lives. I told Taehyung about the plot of a novel I was currently reading, while he informed me of an art exhibition that would soon be in town that he really wanted to see. It was rare for Taehyung to have such huge breaks in his schedule which meant we didn’t get many nights like this, but when we did we always made sure to cherish them.

I tipped my head back, finishing my list sip of wine when Taehyung stood up, placing his own glass on the coffee table. “I have one more thing to make this night perfect” he spoke, forming an okay sign with his hand. “Sit down on the couch and close your eyes”

“Okay?” I laughed.

I felt the couch dip next to me, as he instructed me to open my eyes. I opened them to be met with Taehyung sitting opposite me, only to notice one of his hands hovering above his head. My eyes shifted up to see him holding a small plant. Mistletoe.

A smile spread across my face and I couldn’t help but giggle.

“Why are you laughing?” He pouted “do you not like it?”

I frantically shook my head “no! I just think you’re the most adorable person with such a unique mind, and I can’t believe you’re all mine.” I said, placing my hands on side of his face, wasting no time letting the mistletoe do it’s job.

Taehyung was quick to relax his lips against my own, disregarding the mistletoe behind him. His tongue glided against my bottom lip, begging me to let him in. My breath hitched as his hands moved up my waist and under my shirt, mine toying at the waist of his jeans, making him growl against my lips. I tugged against his bottom lip, causing him to whimper as I broke the kiss. His eyes questioned me, but I soon began leaving a trail of kisses along his bold jaw line before finding the soft spot below his ear to kiss and nip at. A low moan escaped from his mouth, a sound I would never tire of hearing.

I pulled at the hem of his white shirt, Taehyung finally getting the hint and pulling it over his head. I ran my hands over his smooth caramel skin, the light from the fire illuminating his complexion. “I must have done something really good in a past life, to be rewarded with someone like you, Kim Taehyung,” running my fingers along his prominent collar bones, draping my hands behind his neck.

“Let me see how beautiful you are” he smiled, helping me pull my own top over my head. Smiling, Taehyung ran his hand up the back of my neck, pulling my lips to his own once again. He shifted so he could lay down on the couch, pulling me down onto him, as the fire continued to burn well into the night.

25 Days of Christmas Challenge

Prompt: Day 2 - Going Shopping for Presents Together

Authors Note - As you can tell from the name of this blog, and if you follow my main, V is my main bias. So rather than writing separate time/member oneshots, I’ve decided to turn this challenge into a continual Christmas story :) Also, I know I haven’t been uploading each prompt on the actual date, but I do plan on finishing each one eventually :)

Masterlist

“So we’ve bought for Seokjin, Namjoon, Jimin, and your sister, we just now need to buy for Yoongi, Hoseok, Jeongguk, your brother and both our parents” I said aloud looking through the list on my phone. Taehyung and I were sat in a booth in the shopping centre starbucks (our mission to try all the festive drinks this year), enjoying a break from our Christmas shopping. “Have you got any ideas on what to get your brother?”

I noticed he was absently staring out the window “Tae?”

"I can’t wait until that’s us” he said randomly.

I followed his gaze to the outside window. As is done every year, the shopping centre had set up a small festive display of fake trees, animatronic reindeer and a crazy amount of warm coloured fairy lights. Within the area, children were lining up to meet Santa, one child currently sat upon his lap, surely listing a range of toys he hoped he had been good enough to receive on Christmas morning.

I looked towards Taehyung, his lips turned up into a small smile before turning to meet my eyes. When I didn’t answer he continued to explain further “taking our own kids to meet Santa.”

“You think about that?” I asked shyly. 

“Of course” he said proudly, which quickly turned to embarrassment “don’t you?”

Of course I did. It wasn’t long after we started dating that I would picture what a future with Taehyung would be like. I knew he wanted a big family, and he knew how much I loved kids and wanted to be a mother. However, this was the first we had ever spoke about future children between us. 

“I do. A lot” I smiled. “Christmas would definitely be more magical.

“We could get their photo taken with Santa. Even a family one, and send it to all our friends and family”  Taehyung said “and spoil them with so many presents.”

I laughed, shaking my head “They definitely would be the most spoiled child at Christmas. Especially with you as their father!” 

“But we would also do so many family things, like picking out a Christmas tree and decorating it just the three of us, holding up our child so they could put the star on top at the end... Putting them to bed on Christmas Eve, while we lay out milk and cookies for Santa, seeing their face in the morning when they realise he’s visited... Sitting around the Christmas tree in our pyjamas opening presents”

I smiled at the scene Taehyung was painting, a Christmas as a little family “I hope you know that nothing would make me happier” I smiled. 

We both looked towards the children meeting Santa, just as a young couple, not much older than us, were at the front of the line. We watched as the dad placed their baby on Santa’s knee, the parents kneeling down next to them and putting their arm around each other. The woman taking the photo started shaking a small bell, in order to gain the baby’s attention for the photo. At the sound of the chiming, the baby began to giggle, and the photo was taken. At that moment I saw what could easily become my future. Taehyung must have thought the same thing, as I suddenly felt his hand reach over and grab mine. 

“I can’t wait to start a family with you” he said.

                                                           ***

“Do you want to call it a day?” I asked Taehyung, after we finally found a present for his younger brother. We still needed to buy something for both his and my parents, but having already spent the whole day shopping for everyone else exhaustion had finally hit us.

“Yeah. Do you want to meet me in the car though?” he began handing over the shopping bags to me “I just saw something - yes it’s a present for you” Taehyung said as I tried to interject “I just really want to get it now”

“Alright, I’ll meet you in the car”

                                                            ***

I had finished packing the car with our gifts, and was only scrolling on my phone for around five minutes when Taehyung returned. He wasn’t carrying a bag, but one of his pockets was slightly larger than the other.

“No peeking” he smirked.

As we drove back to our shared apartment, my curiosity eating at me, wondering what sort of gift Taehyung needed to buy today.
