Yoongi sat down and tried to coax Jungkook to sit in his lap, so he could also open gifts, but he wasn't sure whether that would work either. It seemed to be a clingy time. Whatever, he could deal with that. The kid was a cute little toddler.

"Jiminie, so cool!" Tae admired the presents Jimin was getting, almost forgetting about his own but then finally making a move to unwrap the present Namjoon had given him, careful with the paper and then just ripping it when he got impatient. "Whoooooa! It's what I wanted, Joonie-hyung! Look!"

"Yeah, it's a -- a really expensive transformer. Woah." Namjoon was a little shell shocked as he looked it over himself and then got a tiny bit excited too. Well, he adored toys too. "Woah, Optimus Prime. This is so cool!" Namjoon grinned at Yoongi and his clingy new friend, who was slowly half sitting on Yoongi's lap, half clinging.

"Oh! Jinnie! Look, dolly." Jimin presented the doll he got to Jin with a bright smile. Now he had an actual baby, instead of just using Tae! "I'm an appa."

"You think the elves got you good presents?" Yoongi asked Jungkook quietly, to hopefully make him curious enough to open presents, then he focused on Tae instead, who was just staring at the transformer in awe and forgetting that there were other things left to be unpacked.

"Try that one," Yoongi indicated a smaller package with a pretty recognisable wrapping paper, at least for someone as fashionable as Tae.

"Gucci! Namjoon, Gucci!"

"Ohh, you are an appa! You'll have to be so responsible, always taking baths and brushing teeth without arguing." Hey, Jin figured it'd be worth a try. He smiled at Jimin, always happy to see the joy on his face. "Cutest appa!"

"I don't have to, I'm an appa now. I'll make sure my baby does." Jimin smiled at Jin, knowing that he was being awkward and loving it. Even so, he set the doll in his lap and reached out, pushing a present into Jungkook's hand so he didn't miss out. Jimin liked to make sure they all got fun toys and good things!

Jungkook opened it very, very carefully and focused way harder than anyone ever had at opening a present.

"Let's open the expensive Gucci carefully, yeah?" He got his little boy Gucci... woah. Namjoon laughed and looked at Yoongi, gesturing at Tae. "He grows out of things real fast, you know? Kids in Gucci. It's just -- weird."

"I'm wearing Gucci." Jimin informed him happily. And he was. Jin and him loved being fashionable and expensive.

"Well, whatever. You sell it when he's done with it." Yoongi shrugged his shoulders and then made sure to admire Jimin. "You look very fashionable."

He adjusted the gift Jungkook was opening so he would have an easier time, then watched his face to make sure he actually loved the toy bunny. He had told the assistant to pick the cutest, he was sure she'd have done a good job. However, before Jungkook's reaction, Tae was there, loudly whopping and pulling out the jacket jumping up and down excitedly and almost falling over as he tried to put it on at the same time.

"These kids will make us look like garbage," Hobi told Namjoon, then he frowned, sighing. "Actually, only I will! You with your fancy new clothes."

Jungkook looked over the bunny and then slowly looked it over, it had a little pair of overalls on and it's ears were soft and patchworky in places. It felt so nice, he slowly snuggled it close to his chest and set his head on top of it's head, smiling at Yoongi with such happiness. "I like bunny."

Tae's noise didn't disturb him, he was in his own little world now.

Swiftly, Namjoon reached out to stop him from falling down, helping Tae get into his clothes before turning his head to huff out a laugh. "Well, you know, we all at least know your boyfriend is looking good." Because that's where all Hobi's money went these days. "Get a better job, lazy."

"Lazy? Pshh. You dare say that next time you need me to emergency babysit Tae because you have to facetime Agust D right then and there." Hobi shook his head, tsking. "That disrespect."

"We didn't raise him well," Jin agreed, "Namjoon, where are your manners?"

"Look, look, Jiminie, I am gucci now too!" Tae spun so Jimin could admire him properly and Yoongi nodded his approval as he watched him.

"You should wear that when we fly to Japan." Hey, couldn't hurt to make a good impression. He ran his fingers through Jungkook's hair and smiled. "Bunny is your favourite, huh? The elves must have known, I bet Santa remembered."

"Look at you two, you can dish it out but you can never take it. Babies." He balled up some wrapping paper and playfully threw it at Jin, watching it bounce off his head. "My hyungs are so needy." Smiling at them both, he laughed and no, he didn't mean any of it, none of them did. That was why he loved them so much, they had always been so easy and fun to be around, a great contrast to home.

Jungkook tilted his head back, looking up at Yoongi with a small smile. "He did. He knows cause I was a good boy all year round. I try hard to be a good boy."

"And you do a good job." Namjoon assured him, ruffling Kookie's hair. "The rest of us kind of suck at it but we're cute."

"I'm a good boy!" Jimin pouted, looking at Jin. "Aren't I? I'm real good."

"...you are a cute boy. Cute. Sometimes good." That good was very debatable half the time, if Jin was to be honest, but it was Christmas so he just blew his brother a kiss. "You are the best."

Tae spun around a couple more times and then landed on his butt, smiling happily. "I'm a mess." And he didn't really mind that, Namjoon loved him anyway.

"You must be a pretty good boy too, so many presents." Yoongi smiled, definitely overwhelmed, but mostly in a good way. He hadn't had people to properly spend Christmas with in a while.

"So, Yoongi, is it nice to have a Christmas off? I bet you don't normally." Namjoon shuffled a bit closer to Yoongi, just wanting a little bit of time to talk to his bae, even if he had to lean forward and rescue Tae from running into the tree. He set a present in front of Tae and hoped to keep him grounded and focused.

Why couldn't he sit still like Kookie was doing, mesmerised by his new bunny and mouthing names under his breath to try and name the thing? So much simpler.

"You deserve to take a break. You work so hard."

"Eh, you work hard too. I just do weirder things and get paid more." Yoongi shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Namjoon. "It's nice to have time off. It's nice seeing you."

Tae busied himself with the present and also made sure that Jimin was watching, because things were just better when Jimin paid attention. Simple fact.

"I have to do some events after Christmas too. Hope you get more time off." Yoongi looked at his boyfriend, worrying his lower lip briefly. "Maybe we can arrange for a date again."

"I go back to work on the 27th, which is annoying because Tae is off until the 2nd. Still, it's just my gas station shifts so they're short and only three days out of the four." Pretty good, all things considered. He was pretty thrilled. Smiling at Yoongi, he moved his hand in close and gently stroked the back of Yoongi's hand. "Another date would be really cool."

Or, you know, he could have said it in a less dorky way but whatever, here he was, smiling like a dork and calling a date 'cool' instead of nice or romantic.

"When do we have a date?" Jimin asked, looking away from the present and up at Yoongi. "I'm free after bath time but before bed time and I have weekends off."

"Er... I think I'm usually busy until way past your bedtime, I'm afraid. And especially on weekends." Yoongi rubbed the back of his neck, unsure how to deal with this. "But I'll send you flowers?" Maybe that worked?

"Jiminie likes flowers!" Tae felt it should count, he was all for it. "Yoongi-hyung, can I stay with you when Namjoon-hyung works? I'll be quiet! I can help!"

"My work is a bit boring for kids, you know?" Yoongi turned his head to look at Namjoon for help.

Oh boy, these kids were good at overwhelming adults. "TaeTae, I already asked, you can come with me. My work is fun. We can be back stage." He leaned in subtly and whispered into Tae's wear. "Rumour has it that TOP will be back stage and we might run into him at some point. How cool, yeah?" He just needed to get Tae onto team Namjoon and work with him, not Yoongi.

He couldn't do that to Yoongi, it wasn't possible. "Yoongi is super busy."

"Too busy to take me on a date?" Jimin pouted up at Yoongi and hugged himself. "Is it because I'm ugly?" Oh God. Namjoon turned his head and gave Jin a panicked look because if Jimin started crying, the end would come and Yoongi would definitely leave.

"No, he just has to send you flowers first. And chocolates. That's how it works with proper dating." Jin bent down to wrap his arms around Jimin, hugging him close. "You are not ugly, Jiminie. Worldwide handsome like your brother!"

"It's true, Jimin, you are very handsome." Yoongi offered a smile, very unsure how to proceed with anything here, although at least Tae seemed happy at the rumoured run-in, which he took to be a guarantee.

"How about that rap contest, huh?" Hobi figured a change of topic might help. "Do the contestants get some prep time or should we go right into it? Do we do food first?"

Jimin was intent on clinging to Jin and nursing his broken heart, debating if the sent gifts were good or not but overall, the chaos was not as bad as Namjoon expected. Jungkook reached out and petted Yoongi's face before sliding free, dragging his bunny along with him. "I'm already prepared. I'm always prepared."

Such a serious little boy. Especially when it came to rap.

Namjoon playfully took off his cap and placed it on Tae's head, adjusting it a little. "You go out there and you make me proud, yeah? High five!" He held his head up, knowing that Tae would not. Poor boy, he just could not rap.

"Yes! I'm wack!" Or whatever. Either way, he gave an enthusiastic high-five and then took Jungkook's hand so they could walk over to the rug that usually functioned as their stage together. Even if it was a contest, whatever. "Jiminie! Come ooooon!"

Yoongi shifted so he could lean his head against Namjoon's shoulder, wondering how in the world one judged a children's rap contest without making everyone cry.

"Now, shall we start with the oldest or the youngest?" Hobi walked over, already looking through his playlist.

"Okay, so, the key to not fucking this up is to tell all of them they won and then encourage them to pick a winner and pick whoever they want." Namjoon whispered to him, wrapping an arm around him. "Usually we all pick Kookie but Tae might get sensitive this year so I got this, it's okay."

Tae really, really wanted Yoongi's love and approval. He just hoped that beat out harmony and peace during the contest. "Oldest first."

Jimin blushed and shook his head, hiding behind Tae. Yoongi was watching and Jimin couldn't rap. He didn't know how to! "I-- I don't wanna."

"You don't have to do it if you don't wanna. You can also go last if you want."

"Do you want to sing instead, Jiminie?" Hobi tried to be encouraging.

"You should," Yoongi nodded his head, "I rap, because I don't want to sing. You can do it the other way round."

"Jiminie is a really good singer! And rapper!" Tae just wanted to make sure Jiminie was appreciated properly. "Jiminie, sing something! I'll cheer!"

Yoongi felt less unsure now, so he focused on finally getting to be close to Namjoon. It had been a while.

Jimin did sing and he sang very happily, he may have started off nervous but he ended up singing very sweetly and swaying back and forth. He smiled at the end and bowed, loudly cheered by both tiny boys. Namjoon clapped too, whistling and cheering for him. Well, they all like to support each other.

"Now my boy Tae is gonna rock the mic."

He gave him a thumbs up. "Show Yoongi how well Kims can rap." Tilting his head back, he lowered his voice and spoke apologetically. "I'm so sorry for this."

"I wish underground battles were more like this." Everyone was in a good mood, for one thing, huge difference there. Yoongi gave Tae a thumb up and tried to brace himself. He had gotten small tastes of his rapping before, after all.

And Tae insisted on picking one of Yoongi's raps and so he ended up mostly making up words, especially at the faster parts, and still not keeping up with the tempo, but hey. The enthusiasm was there the whole way.

"Woo! So good, TaeTae!" Yoongi had to hide his face against Namjoon's chest, because he couldn't help the laughing.

"Woo! Tae!" Namjoon laughed and he could feel Yoongi dying behind him. He clapped along excitedly and then leaned back, kissed Yoongi on the cheek and got up. Whatever. When Kim bros made asses out of themselves, they did it as a mean. Namjoon got up there and gave his bro a fist bump before being his hype man.

He filled in the blanks for Tae as best he could without upstaging him, dancing badly behind him and trying to hype up the 'crowd'. Well, you know, Hobi and Jin were definitely hyped so he was winning.

When it ended, he lifted Tae up and set him on his shoulders. "Rapmaster TaeTae is done."

"Yaaaay!" Tae beamed, very happy to be carried. "I can be on stage with Agust D!" He had decided. Although he supposed they might still talk him out of it, but he felt he could put on a good show. One day!

"Think you're too young for a contract," Yoongi told him regretfully, leaning back on his hands and turning his head to look at Jungkook. "What about you? You are always ready!"

"The one and only Kookie!" Hobi was ready to hype his young charge up.

"You're so good, Tae." Jungkook didn't know if he was or not, he didn't think so but he knew that today was important because of how much he loved Yoongi and Yoongi loved Namjoon. He hoped Tae got to win. He came to the front and pulled up his hood, getting all hyped up and then doing what perhaps Tae should have done.

Picking an Agust D song that he could keep up with. Not that he could pronounce everything right but he sounded adorable, he did a good Suga impression and he didn't fall on his butt this year.

Namjoon leaned back against Yoongi and beamed. "Ahhh, so cute. I can't!"

"He's adorable," Yoongi agreed, while Tae was torn between being happy for Jungkook - and hyped as well - and worrying whether Yoongi might like Jungkook better. If he did, would Jungkook get to go to Japan? Or would Yoongi break up with Namjoon and maybe date Hobi instead? All very serious worries.

"You are all so good," Yoongi said after Jungkook had finished, clapping for them all. "Everyone is a winner!"
