DPR - Merry Christmas, Babe!

„C’mon guys! It will be fun!“ You clapped your hands together enthusiastically, trying to convince them to participate. But they all didn’t seem to share your enthusiasm, instead they tried to come up with excuses to skip it. Except for Christian, he loved the idea the moment you had suggested it. Just like you, he loved the holiday season and ever since he came to Korea, there hasn’t been much of a Christmas celebration. 

Christmas was nearing, yet it didn’t feel like it at all. Going on a world tour with the guys, you didn’t even have a second to think about anything else. You moved from one city to the other, from one country to another. You couldn’t even enjoy your stay as your schedule was so packed. It was one of the most demanding, gruelling, and tiresome experiences of your life.

That’s why you suggested to do ‘Secret Santa’ to get into the festive mood for Christmas. You had already succeeded in persuading them to buy a Christmas tree for the office, so you thought this would be just as easy. But contrary to your expectations, it wasn’t that easy at all. Especially Scott, he was such a grinch when it came to Christmas.

„It’s a waste of money,“ Scott reasoned. 

„Says the guy who bought two pairs of sneakers yesterday,“ you fired back and stuck out your tongue at him. 

„We’ll set a limit,“ Christian joined the conversation to help you. 

„Hold up….you called in an urgent meeting because of this? I thought it was something important!“ Cream whined as he gave you a look full of disbelief. 

„Well it is important,“ you muttered under your breath. „It will strengthen our teamwor!“

„Dabin and I were in the middle of recording a song!“ „The sooner we solve this problem, the sooner you guys can go back to work,“ you shrugged your shoulders nonchalantly. 

„Fine, let’s do it. I’m in,“ Dabin finally agreed. He grabbed the notepad that was lying on the table and ripped off a piece of paper. Then he took a pen and started writing down your names. 

���You’re only agreeing because you want to get laid,“ Scott said teasingly while a knowing smirk covered his face. 

Dabin opened his mouth and it seemed as though he was about to protest, but instead he let out a sigh and nodded his head in defeat.

„I’m not even gonna deny it,“ he chuckled.

„Please don’t do it in the studio like last time,“ Christian commented playfully. 

„To my defense, I thought we were alone. You said you were heading home.“ Dabin retorted with a chuckle.

„I forgot my keys!“

You felt the blood rushing to your cheeks as they were casually talking about your sex life right in front of you as though it was the most common thing it the world. They made it seem like they were talking about the weather. Ever since Dabin and you had made it official the teasing never stopped. Bu despite their endless teasing, you knew they were genuinely happy for you. Nobody had been rooting for you to take the next step, like Christian and Scott. They were always secretly trying to play Cupid thinking nobody would notice how obvious they were. But you were glad they did. If Scott hadn’t pushed you to take a leap of faith in spite of your fears and worries, you would have never dared to date one of the people you worked so close with. 

„Back to topic,“ you cleared your throat to get their attention. „It’s 4 to 2, we’re doing Secret Santa.“ „Wait, Cline’s not even here.“ „I texted him, he said he wants to do it.“ You replied with a shrug, but they didn’t seem to believe you which wasn’t that surprising, considering you never texted Cline unless it’s in the group chat or for work purposes. You barely even exchanged words. 

Proving that you weren’t lying, you pulled out your phone and showed them your conversation with Cline.

„Fuck…“ you heard them curse as a winning smile spread all over your face.

~*~

You carefully unfolded the piece of paper, but before you could even get to read the name that was written on it, hell broke loose.

„This sucks!“

„What the fuck should I buy for—“

„Whose name is written on your paper? Mine is—“

„Guys! Stop!“ You screamed out loud, making the whole room fall silent. „The whole point of this is not letting anybody know who your Secret Santa is!“ 

„But-“

„No!“ You glared at him, making him become silent immediately.

„Yes, mam!“

~*~

There were exactly five days left until Christmas and you still had no clue what to get for Cline. Out of them all, Cline was the one you were the least close to. You had known all the other guys even before you got together as a collective. You had met Christian back in Australia and he was one of the reasons why you mustered up your courage to leave everything behind and move to South Korea. It was a huge challenge for you, but no matter how scary it was, it was reassuring to know that your best friend was by your side. You had produced for Dabin prior to his debut and you had worked together with Cream on a couple tracks. Through them you also got to know Scott who grew dear to your heart very quickly.  But Cline was a mystery to you. You talked to him often, but still you didn’t know a lot about him. Whenever you two were alone together, the room was always filled with awkward silence or superficial conversations about the weather. 

„What are you doing?“ You heard Dabin’s chuckle from behind. He was standing by the door frame with a wide grin on his lips. 

„Working.“ you replied without even thinking which obviously was a lie. The moment you had stepped inside your studio, you had been racking your brain over what to get for Cline. You were just sitting in your chair, googling ‘original Christmas present ideas’.

„You didn’t even turn on the devices,“ he pointed to the black display, raising his brows at you amused.

„Busted,“ you let out a sheepish chuckle. 

„This Secret Santa thing was such a bad idea! I don’t know what to get for-“

„Hey! Stop!“ He yelled at you as he hurriedly held up his hands, signalling you to stop.  „You’re not supposed to tell me, remember?“

„Since when do you care so much?“ You laughed at him, remembering his reaction when you first suggested it. He was totally against it, but you knew he would give in eventually. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for you.

„Well, if we’re doing it, we’re doing it right! I don’t half-ass things!“ „I guess you already bought a gift?“ „Of course,“ the corner of his lips rose into a proud smile. 

„Wait, why are you here anyway? Do you need something?“ You glanced at the clock on the wall. Around this time he would usually be in the studio with Cream, working on his new album. Cream was someone who wouldn’t let you leave until he had the results that he wanted. „No,“ he shook his head. „Just wanted to grab dinner with you.“

„You’re done with the track?“ 

„Nope, but Cream is on the phone with someone. I took this chance to sneak out,“ he flashed his teeth at you as wrinkles appeared around the corner of his eyes.

~*~

„C’mon Dabin! You have to help me! I really don’t know what to get!“ You whined out loud, making a pout with your lips.

„Just get him whatever. Cline loves everything,“ Dabin simply shrugged his shoulders, not minding your whining too much. His attention was dedicated to the plate filled with food right in front of him. „Please! I will— Hold up, how did you know I drew Cline’s name? I didn’t even tell you!“ Your stopped your motions, staring at him with widened eyes. „It’s obvious. If you had Christian, you would have bought him some equipment for his camera. Scott…probably sneakers. For Cream a new mic. So that only leaves Cline,“ he concluded, before he took another big bite of his burger. „Oh, I didn’t know you’re a detective now.,“ you chuckled lightly as you stared at him affectionately. „But seriously….what should I get him?“ You pouted at him cutely. „Why are you even asking me?“

„You’re his cousin! You out of all people should know!“ „I’m not gonna help you.“ He remained steadfast, not affected by your cute act at all.

„If I had known you would be so annoying, I would have went for dinner alone,“ he then joked when a teasing grin appeared on his face. 

Dabin obviously wasn’t going to give in, so you had to switch your methods. There was always one way to get what you wanted. You didn’t think you had to resort to this, but he left you no choice. He saw how the look in your eyes changed as a smirk covered your lips. He knew exactly what was going to happen next, but he didn’t stop you. 

You slowly and teasingly brushed your feet against the inner side of his legs.

„What are you doing, babe?“ He asked you in a warning though amused tone.

„Did you ever have a quickie in the toilet?“ You whispered in a seductive voice.

„It’s not gonna work,“ he shook his head firmly, but the fact the he held his breath and the fact that the bulge inside his pants was growing told you otherwise. 

„You sure about that?“ You slowly moved your feet upwards, dangerously close to his crotch.

Dabin‘s body tensed up and he clenched his hands into a tight fist, swallowing down hard.

„This is blackmailing!“ „I’d rather call it negotiating.“ You gave him a sweet, yet alluring smile. 

„My answer is no.“ „You suck,“ with a exasperated sigh you decided to give up. 

~*~

Over the course of the day, the gifts had piled up under the Christmas tree. They all secretly put the gifts they had bought under the tree without anyone seeing. The day before you had decided to open the presents in the evening before going out for dinner together.  For being so against Secret Santa, Cream was strangely enthusiastic today. He was the one who called everyone together to open the presents and he had also prepared a Christmas remix for the distribution of presents. 

You soon found out the reason behind his eagerness was because he knew Christian had picked his name. Christian was known to buy generous gifts and even though you had set a price limit, Christian wasn’t someone who followed the rules, even when he was the one to make them. 

~*~

Now it was your turn to open your gift. You still had no idea, who your Secret Santa was. Your name was written on the present in a distorted way, so you couldn’t even judge by the handwriting. 

After you had carefully unknotted the ribbon that was wrapped around the box, you opened the lid slowly, peaking inside. Upon seeing the red lace, you quickly shut the box close again, a soft pink shade taking your cheeks.

„What is it?“ The boys asked curiously. 

You quickly glanced at Dabin who was sitting next to you, throwing him a questioning look. The content smirk on his lips was the answer to the question you didn’t dare to ask out loud.

„What is it?“ Scott tried again as he attempted to open the box, but you didn’t let him. Instead you clutched onto it tightly as though your life depended on it.

„Nothing,“ you hurriedly said. But your reaction had given it away. They all had a knowing grin on their faces which made you blush even more. You felt the heat rush into your face as Scott wriggled his brows at you suggestively.

„Merry Christmas, Babe,“ Dabin whispered into your ear as a bright chuckle left his lips.
