Light Even In Shadows Epilogue/Bonus Chapter Part 2

[littlemenomaru]

The following morning Jongwoon was a little shocked to find Kyuhyun already awake when he went to wake him up as usual. "You’re up early."

"I didn’t sleep much."

"Didn’t I tell you this would happen? If you sleep in my bed every night, you’re not going to be able to sleep in your own bed."

"I know. I know. Can I sleep in your bed tonight though?" Kyuhyun pleaded giving the best puppy-dog eyes he could.

"Since it’s Christmas Eve, I guess. But you need to sleep in your bed more often."

"Fine." Kyuhyun agreed as they headed downstairs. For once they were actually one of the first ones down aside from Hangeng, Ryeowook, and the ommas.

"Kyuhyun, downstairs already? Are we sure that I’m not dreaming?" Ryeowook teased as the two entered the kitchen.

"I know it’s not normal. Jongwoon hyung made me sleep alone, so I didn’t sleep."

"You refused to sleep because Jongwoon wouldn’t let you sleep in his bed?" Hangeng asked.

"No. I just couldn’t sleep that much."

"Oh, well it didn’t sound like that’s what you said."

"Well you need to study your Korean more."

"And you should stop hanging out with Heechul. Speaking of, I should go get him up or he will never make it down to breakfast." Hangeng said after he glanced at the clock. Omma Kim stepped in to help Wookie with breakfast when Hangeng left. Mama Han and Omma Lee had taken a corner of the kitchen and were working on some dishes for that evening’s dinner but wouldn’t let any of the others see what they were working on. They only thing they could see was that Mama Han was definitely preparing to make some of her dumplings for that evening.

"Morning." Sungmin says as he walks in but stops in his tracks at the sight of Jongwoon and Kyuhyun.

"Don’t worry I was shocked too." Ryeowook says after he notices the shocked Sungmin.

"Jongwoon I understand, but Kyu? Something magical must be going on to get him out of bed this early."

"Apparently that magical thing would be lack of sleep." Sungmin raised his eyebrow at Jongwoon.

"Not that Minnie. He slept alone last night, which was the reason." Jongwoon explained, knowing what the other was thinking. Since they had nothing else to do before dinner, they were forced to set the table and received shocked expressions from all the members as they came downstairs. With the addition of their relatives, the table that sits twenty-six people was almost completely filled for once, leaving only two open spaces. Jungsu covered the schedule for the day once they all sat down for breakfast and reminded everyone of the last bits of cleaning needed to be done and that the larger room across the hall needed to be prepared for Christmas dinner since they would have even more guests over and would not be able to seat everyone in the main dining room. Everyone split up the chores in order to get them done as fast as they could before the evening’s plans started. Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Henry had to finish cleaning the last couple of rooms needed for their friends who would stay the night to join them on Christmas while Jongwoon helped Kangin, Siwon, and Hangeng move the tables to set up the larger dinning room for the almost forty people eating Christmas dinner. Everyone else was putting the last minute touches on the house to make it spotless and Sungmin and the ommas were preparing the dinner and snacks. Ahra, Hee Jin, and In Young were the first to arrive and decided to all share a room to save some room. Yunho, Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu, and Changmin followed not too long after with a large number of presents that Jae rushed to put under the large tree in the living room. Joon was the last to show up and everyone was a little surprised when he showed up with a guest.

"So who’s this?" Kyuhyun asks Joon when they enter the house.

"This is my boyfriend Cheolyong, but he goes by Mir. He went to our school but was in the year below us, or rather me since you skipped a grade. Though I only met him outside of school with a couple other friends."

"It’s nice to met you hyung."

"Same. Now I hope if he has talked about me, it was all good."

"I only spoke the truth and all the evilness that comes with it. But aside from that, I heard you and Jongwoon I think it was are official. Now, how could you forget to text your old friend information like that?"

"Says the guy who shows up at my door with his boyfriend when we were expecting you to be alone."

"Touché." Joon lightly glared at Kyuhyun, but then both laughed and Kyuhyun took them upstairs to their room after they agreed to share a room. Donghae was the one to run upstairs to tell them that dinner was almost ready and they should head down.

"Oh hey, you’re the guy from the bakery."

"Yeah."

"So, this is the guy you were talking about. I remember now. I don’t know why I forgot who he was. Anyway, omma says we need to hurry down so we can start the game."

"What game are we going to play with so many people here?" Joon asks as they head down.

"I don’t know. We have to figure that out." Donghae shrugged and ran over to Hyukjae who was waiting for him on the other side of the dining room. Jongwoon and Jongjin headed over to Kyuhyun once the three entered the room and handed them each a plate.

"Omma says we’re going to have dinner like a buffet. I guess we’re eating in the living room so we have time for whatever game we decide on. And well this is Joon and who?"

"Oh yeah sorry hyung. This is Joon and that’s his boyfriend Mir." Kyuhyun said pointing to each. "Guys, this is my boyfriend Jongwoon hyung and his younger brother Jongjin hyung." Before anyone else could say anything, the ommas quieted down the room and explained the plans for the night and forced everyone into a line for all the food laid out on the table. As everyone got their food, they made their way over to the living room and found a comfy spot to sit and eat. Once everyone had room, Jungsu headed up to the front of the room to grab everyone’s attention again, this time to decide on a game.

"Why don’t we just create a tournament or something. It’s a little hard to find a game that everyone in here can play together without it getting insane."

"It’s going to get insane anyways. You don’t have thirty people in one room to play a game and not have it be insane." Heechul said after Siwon’s suggestion.

"I think a tournament is a good idea. We just need to decide what it can be." Sungmin added.

"How about a video game. Most of us play them and it’s simple enough to hook up. We can even hook up a second TV and system to help speed it up. We have multiple of all our game systems and most games." Kibum suggested to which most agreed.

"A fighting game would be easy enough. We’ve all played them and it would be easy to set up a tournament with them." Jongwoon said.

"Okay, does everyone agree with playing a video game and having a fighting tournament?" Jungsu asked and got nods from everyone in the room. "Which one then?"

"We have multiple copies of street fighter and I think that is one everyone has played." Jongwoon suggested.

"Fine. Youngwoon get someone to help you bring in the other TV and set it up. Jongwoon go and grab the games and other system since we already have one of each in here. Ryeowook can you go and grab the white board so we can keep track of the tournament. Sungmin grab some paper and a pen." Everyone did as they were told and fifteen minutes later everything was set up and ready to go. "Hyukjae, hat." Hyukjae knew exactly what Jungsu meant and handed the older his hat where Jungsu put in the pieces of folded paper he made while the TV was set up. "Now does anyone not want to play?"

"I think we’ll stay out of it this time." Appa Kim and Appa Lee said and Omma Lee agreed.

"Alright well we will redraw if your name comes up." Jungsu went around the room and had everyone pull pieces until a tournament bracket was made with the first round matches picked. The first two matches to go were In Young vs. Saehee and Sora vs. Jaejoong with Saehee and Jaejoong as the winners. Next up were Hangeng vs. Donghwa and Mama Han vs. Junsu. Junsu was shocked along with everyone else in the room when he lost his match to Mama Han, who won along with Hangeng. Kyuhyun faced Zhoumi next with Donghae and Siwon fighting next to them and no one was surprised when Kyuhyun and Donghae emerged as the victors. Jongwoon had been paired with his brother and beat him while Ahra and Sungmin faced off with Sungmin winning in the end. Ryeowook faced Changmin and lost but most of the attention was on Jungsu and Youngwoon’s match since they were considered the parents of the house and now dating. Youngwoon defeated Jungsu in the end but the match was pretty close. Heechul defeated Henry, which was expected but Omma Kim also defeated Shindong, surprising the group once again. Mir went against Hyukjae and lost while Hee Jin fought Yoochun, losing her game as well. The last match of the round was down to Kibum vs. Joon since and since there were an odd number Yunho was automatically in the next round. Kibum defeated Joon pretty easily and the group decided to take a short break before the next round started.

"Omma, I didn’t know you could play street fighter."

"Oh you bet I can Heechul, and you better watch out because it’s me and you in the next round."

"Don’t worry, I think I can handle it." Heechul said smugly before headed over to Hangeng and Mama Han.

"Jin, you don’t have any hard feelings since your hyung won, right?"

"Nope. It’s just a fun tournament, we’re not going to fight over losing to each other. Besides we’re not little kids anymore."

"Good cause I’m worried about Jongwoon going up against Kyuhyun later. Both are really good and I think they might end up facing each other if they each win this round."

"I think that’ll be fun to see. I don’t know what you’re thinking Omma." Jongjin laughed and moved to watch the next set of matches. Saehee vs. Jaejoong and Hangeng vs. Mama Han started the second round. Even Jaejoong and Saehee weren’t paying much attention to their match, which Jae won, since everyone was curious to see the Mother-Son fight going on, on the other TV. After much struggling, Hangeng emerged as the winner and his mother patted him proudly on the back and moved for the next fight to start. While everyone’s attention was on Donghae vs. Kyuhyun and Jongwoon vs. Sungmin, someone rang the doorbell. Since Siwon was closest to the door he went to answer it and found a young boy, around Kyuhyun and Henry’s age, standing there.

"Can I help you?" There was something similar about the boy but Siwon couldn’t quite tell what.

"Um, I’m looking for a Lee Sungmin. Is he here?" He asked nervously.

"Yeah, we have a Lee Sungmin here. Come in, I’ll go get him." Siwon let the boy in and had him wait in the foyer while he got Sungmin. Sungmin had just lost his game to Jongwoon and Kyuhyun was still fighting with Donghae. Siwon grabbed Sungmin and pulled him out into the foyer to meet the boy.

"Hi, you were looking for me…wait, Sungjin?" Sungmin asked shocked once he realized who the boy was.

"It is you hyung. I wasn’t sure when I saw you on that radio program. I heard them talking about this house and then you were on it the next day and it happened to be a viewable program that day and I saw you and I thought it was you so now I’m here to find you." Sungjin spoke very quickly, and Sungmin did all he could to keep up with him. Once he finished, Sungmin pulled him into a hug and the boy finally started to cry, and Sungmin was holding back some tears of his own.

"How did you even get here?"

"After mom died, they sent me to live with grandma since you lived at school but she died a few months ago so I came to the city to see if I could find you again. I got a job and excepted into a school with student housing so I’ve been taking care of myself until I could find you."

"You grew up so much since I last saw you. I can’t believe you managed to do that all yourself."

"Sungmin hyung?"

"Oh sorry. Sungjin, this is Siwon, he lives here as well. Siwon, this is my little brother Sungjin." Sungmin introduced the two to each other.

"We should probably go back to the living room before Jungsu hyung gets worried and wonders what happened to us." Sungmin nodded and while still holding onto Sungjin, followed Siwon back to the living room. While they were gone Youngwoon had beaten Changmin, Heechul beat Omma Kim, Hyukjae beat Yoochun, Kibum beat Yunho and everyone was getting ready to start round three.

"Oh we missed Omma Kim versus Heechul hyung? I wanted to watch that one." Sungmin complained after they were recapped on what happened.

"Omma got game! Seriously she almost beat me." Heechul shouted still obviously shocked from the match.

"Heechul, I have two sons who both wanted their omma to do everything with them, so of course I’ve learned how to play these games pretty well." Everyone teased Jongwoon and Jongjin for being mama’s boys but then realized that, Heechul almost lost because of it and went silent.

While Hangeng and Jaejoong got ready for their match, Sungmin introduced everyone else to his brother and received permission from Jungsu to let him stay the night and spend Christmas with them. Hangeng beat Jaejoong fairly easily and everyone's attention immediately moved to Jongwoon and Kyuhyun as they began their game. After going back and forth for wins in each round, Jongwoon finally emerged as winner and gave his pouting boyfriend and kiss to cheer him up. The last two fights of round three were over quick as Heechul beat Youngwoon and Kibum won against Hyukjae.

Since there were only a couple games left everyone decided to do them one at a time so everyone could watch. Jongwoon ended up losing to Hangeng in the opening match of round four but it was very close. Heechul and Kibum were next to go to see who would fight Hangeng in the final match. Kibum gave Heechul a good run but lost in the ended leaving the two lovers to go against each other.

"Should we get Heechul hyung’s room ready for him to sleep in?" Jongwoon teased.

"Hey, I start in my room most nights, so I think my room is plenty ready for me to sleep in."

"I must ask, how are you assuming this match turns out?" Hangeng asks.

"Well if you either win or come close to winning, Heechul hyung might get upset, so we can assume that there would be no sleeping together tonight if that happens."

"Oh who are you kidding, there is no might, unless Heechul hyung completely destroys Hangeng hyung in this fight, they will be sleeping in separate rooms." Youngwoon added, correcting Jongwoon’s statement.

"I see how well you think of our relationship." Heechul scoffed.

"No, it’s just how well we know you hyung." Youngwoon immediately backed up out of Heechul’s striking range and hid behind Jungsu. "Just start your game." Heechul gave once last glare before the two started their game. Throughout the game, anytime Hangeng managed to pull off a big move or win a round, Heechul would hit Hangeng in the shoulder out of anger.

"And you called me brutal, Heechulie. I think you’re worse if you’re going to beat up your boyfriend because he is doing well against you." Omma Kim teased Heechul in between rounds, receiving laughs from the boys who were in Jongjin’s room the other day.

"Whatever, I’m still winning!" He shouted over the laughter while still trying to focus on the final round of the match. With his final win, Heechul officially beat Hangeng and won the house’s first Christmas Street Fighter tournament.

"So did I do too well that you don’t want to stay in my room tonight?" Hangeng asked in a teasing voice.

"Nah, I’m gonna make it up to you by letting you be my prize for winning."

"I feel so special." He said sarcastically.

"You should, cause I think you win in the end then."

"NO!" Jungsu shouted breaking up the lover’s moment. "It’s already late and there will be none of that tonight, or else everyone is sleeping in their own beds, no arguing."

"Oh like you would do that, you want to sleep with Youngwoon tonight as much as the rest of us want to sleep with our boyfriends."

"I think I could manage."

"Hyung, what about us? Would you make us split up to?" Yunho asked while he was hugging Jaejoong from behind.

"No, just my boys, besides you are already sharing a room, they each have their own. Now, bed, all of you." Jungsu order. Most of the members groaned and complained on their way while a few rushed right to their rooms, anxious for the morning to arrive. The ommas stayed behind with Jungsu and Youngwoon to help clean up before they headed to bed themselves.

~

As everyone slowly made their way downstairs, the ommas were almost finished preparing breakfast and made sure to usher everyone into the larger dining room and away from the living room. The room was rather cold even with the house's heater running since the back wall was all windows looking out into the garden. Youngwoon immediately started the two fireplaces on either end off the room and everyone could feel the temperature rise quickly. Once they finished eating and cleaned up breakfast, some ran straight for the living room, eager to open their presents, or just find them amongst the massive pile of gifts surrounding the tree. Everyone else followed behind at a slower pace and Jungsu grabbed a couple garbage bags, in hope of keeping the mess under control. Donghae's parents offered to pass out the presents and waited until everyone claimed a spot before they started. The pile shrank relatively quickly especially since a couple of the more impatient members began helping to pass out gifts. Kyuhyun, Ryeowook decided to wait until they all had their presents from the other two and open them all together. Jongwoon and Kyuhyun decided to start with Wookie's since he put them in one.

"We have a shared gift?" Kyuhyun asked looking at the gift addressed to the two of them.

"Sort of. I just wrapped them together since they go together. Just open it and see for yourself." Kyuhyun raised an eyebrow at the other but opened the present anyways. Inside there were two charm bracelets that were almost identical except for one charm. "The one with the turtle is Jongwoon hyung’s and the game controller is Kyu’s, if that wasn’t obvious enough. I have one too, though mine has a piano on it."

"Well now you will have to open yours Wookie." Jongwoon grabbed the gift from between Ryeowook and himself and put it in the younger’s lap. He just slowly nodded and tore the wrapping paper on the small gift as the other two put their bracelets on. Ryeowook’s eye lit up the moment he opened the box and saw his gift. It was a locket with a piano on it, which just so happened to match the one on Wookie’s bracelet and inside a picture of the three of them together.

"Wow, Thank you guys." Ryeowook leaned forward and pulled the couple into a hug a put the necklace on.

"Yeah, and look at the back hyung." Ryeowook looked at the youngest confused for a moment before looking at the back of the locket where it said "Love and Luck".

"Also Omma said she wanted to take a picture of everyone tonight so we can get that picture fit to sit next to our picture on the inside. And that way you’ll have everyone with you when you get nervous."

"Yeah, but we decided we get to be the other picture. You know, since you love us most." Kyuhyun teased.

"What if I said I love Jungsu omma most?" Kyuhyun pouted at the idea causing both to laugh at him. "Just open your gift from Woonie hyung now." Kyuhyun immediately got excited and reached for his present but stopped right before opening it.

"Hyung, open yours too." Jongwoon complied and grabbed his present and timed it so they would open their presents at the same time. "A CD?" The magnae asked once it was open.

"Mhmm, Wookie helped me record some songs that I’ve sung, including a couple that Wookie himself wrote. I know, it’s not much."

"So this is all just of you singing?"

"Uh, yes."

"Then it’s perfect. I can hear your voice wherever I go. And I’ll have this to fall asleep to."

"So cheesy Kyu, I might puke." Wookie teased. Kyuhyun gently shoved the older and the two started laughing until Kyuhyun nudged Jongwoon to finish opening his gift.

"Wow, these are so cool." Jongwoon said as he pulled out the pair of earrings. They were music notes with a turtle on the bottom part of the note.

"I designed them myself." Kyuhyun gave him a big grin, which Jongwoon responded to with a quick kiss.

"Puppies!" The three heard a sudden shout from Hyukjae and Donghae and turned around to find Jungsu and Youngwoon bringing in two puppies.

"We heard you two were looking on your anniversary, so we decided it would be your Christmas present. Though you should keep them outside with Hangeng’s dogs until they are house-trained." Jungsu explained to them.

"Ne Hyung." They answered together and played with the puppies.

Soon Ryeowook and Sungmin left to make a quick lunch for everyone while a group all ran outside to play with the new puppies in the snow. After lunch the house broke up into two teams and played a game of soccer in the backyard while the ommas began cooking dinner.

"Geng, Wookie, Sungminnie! We could use your help in the kitchen." Mama Han shouted out after the game finished.

"I’ll help too." Jaejoong offered and followed the other three in.

"Youngwoon and Siwon could you help the appas set up the tables?"

"Of course." Siwon answered which Yunho also offered his assistance. The rest of the boys all decided to head in and warm up and get ready for dinner as well. Jungsu and Jongwoon were about to head upstairs when the front doorbell rang.

"We weren’t expecting anyone else, right?" Jungsu asked. Jongwoon just shrugged and opened the door. "Hi, can we help you?" Jungsu asked doing his best to be polite in front of the sudden visitors.

"Yes, we came to join you for Christmas dinner. I know it’s last minute but we thought we better show up."

"We also ran into them, who said they were joining you for dinner as well." The first couple answered.

"I’m sorry and you are?"

"Oh, we’re Hyukjae’s parents. Our daughter said she was coming to dinner with her brother and suggested that we come as well." Hyukjae’s omma answered.

"Well come in, I guess. I’m Jungsu and that’s Jongwoon." He introduced them as he gave the two sets of parents room to enter.

"Sorry we are late. It’s nice to finally meet you, we’re Siwon’s parents. We didn’t get the chance to respond to Siwon’s invitation."

"Oh that’s alright, we have plenty to go around and haven’t even started dinner yet, so you’re right on time."

"I’ll go get Siwon and Hyukie." Jongwoon said and excused himself as Jungsu showed the parents where to put their coats and further into the house.

"Siwonie."

"Yeah hyung?" Siwon answered once they finished moving the table into place.

"Your parents are here."

"Really?" Jongwoon nodded and pointed him in the direction of the foyer and went off to find Hyukjae after promising Siwon he would send someone else to help.

"Good, you’re all in here. Yoochun can you help them in the dinning room? Hyukie, Sora, your parents just arrived."

"What?" The two siblings answered in unison.

"Since when were omma and appa coming? Did you know noona?"

"No. Last I knew yesterday they weren’t coming. I sort of just left and said I was going to see my dongsaeng and spend Christmas with him whether they wanted it to happen or not."

"I didn’t think Auntie and Uncle would want to come after you left." Junsu said, just as shocked as the siblings.

"All I can say is that they are here."

"Hyukie, I want to meet your parents. Let’s go down." Donghae jumped up and pulled Hyukjae with him downstairs to find Hyukjae’s parents as Sora and Junsu followed along.

"Hyung. Wookie said dinner will be done in a couple minutes so we should get everyone." Kyuhyun said as he jumped on the older’s back, Joon, Mir, Jongjin, and Ahra behind him.

"Kyunie, get off. You’re heavy." Kyuhyun pouted which Jongwoon responded to with a quick peck on the lips. He grabbed the younger’s hand and pulled him out of the room. "Come on, if we’re late, Jungsu hyung will throw a fit."

"We can just make Youngwoon hyung run interference."

"Sure because using Youngwoon on Jungsu has worked so well the past two weeks." Jongwoon answered sarcastically. "Let’s just split up and find everyone." The other four nodded and headed off in separate directions while Kyuhyun just stayed with Jongwoon. After looking for Siwon and Hyukjae, Jongwoon knew where most of the members and guests were, so it wasn’t too hard for Jongwoon and Kyuhyun to gather most of the members before their siblings or Joon and Mir could. Jungsu grabbed some of the members to help set food on the table while the others all finished the dinning room. Youngwoon lit the two fireplaces at either end of the room again, since they were put out after breakfast, as the final touch to the room. It wasn’t too long before everyone was seated and enjoying the massive feast in front of them.

"So I take it you are the new unnie, Ahra? Kyuhyun’s noona? I’m Kibum’s dongsaeng, Saehee." Saehee introduced herself and then pointed towards Kyuhyun. "And you’re Kyuhyun, right?"

"Yeah, we haven’t had much of a chance to talk yet." Ahra said and Kyuhyun nodded.

"I can’t believe how many of the oppas have gotten together recently. I mean I knew Heechul oppa and Hangeng oppa would be together but Jungsu oppa and Youngwoon oppa, I didn’t see that coming."

"You just got here from America, right?" Saehee nodded. "So how do you keep track of everything?"

"Oh, In Young unnie and Hee Jin unnie made a site for the house sisters. Though sometimes a couple of the ommas will get on as well. The unnies keep us all updated on everything that happens."

"None of the brothers get on?"

"Well I think Jongjin oppa has gotten on a few times but this is the first time I’ve met the oppas. I didn’t even know Donghae oppa and Sungmin oppa had brothers."

"You’ll have to show me later so I can join you guys online."

"Sure."

"So the noonas have a website about us?" Kyuhyun asked Jongwoon as the girls continued talking.

"Yeah, Since our families are spread out they wanted to help the others keep up with us and not feel so far away. They posted about the Christmas plans on there too."

"Just tell me they aren’t posting embarrassing photos or stuff like that on there."

"Yeah, that’s not going to happen." Ryeowook said, joining in on the conversation. "They got a hold of a bunch of our baby pictures last year and were posting them. As well as some other interesting moments. I’ll show it to you later. But at the same time they like to take pictures when we have stuff like this so we can get all the pictures later. Jungsu hyung will take some of their photos to put on the walls."

"Leave it to the noonas to put something like that together." Kyuhyun sighed, a little afraid of what he may find on the site later.

"Hey, can I get everyone’s attention?" Jungsu called and everyone stopped talking at turned towards him. Jungsu gave a quick speech, with input from Youngwoon and Heechul, about how happy he was to have everyone and a couple of other announcements. "Um, I guess Donghae wants to say something too." Jungsu announced as Donghae was constantly poking him saying he wants to talk.

"Well, we have a special announcement too. Hyukie, show everyone." Hyukjae stood up and shyly stuck out his hand, which Donghae took and made sure everyone saw the ring on his finger. "Hyukie said he would marry me!"

"WHAT?" Everyone in the room shouted.

"Donghae! You shouldn’t get married before your hyung!" Jungsu complained.

"Well you could marry Youngwoon hyung before we do. We’re going to wait a little while but I couldn’t wait any longer to be engaged." Donghae said with a cheeky grin.

"Donghae we haven’t even been dating long enough to think about that."

"Jungsu calm down. They’re just engaged. You should’ve seen this coming since the conversation we all had when Heechul and Hangeng explained everything." Youngwoon pulled his boyfriend back down and tried to stop the older from hyperventilating. Donghae’s parents jumped up at the announcement and gave both of the boys a big hug along with Sora. Hyukjae’s parents, on the other hand just sat there shocked.

"Omma? Appa?" Hyukjae asked nervously once he saw his parents.

"Hyukjae, you’re too young to get married. How long have you been dating anyways?" His mother asked.

"You’re okay with me being gay though?"

"Well we always kind of wondered whether you were or not, but that doesn’t answer the question."

"We just celebrated our third anniversary this year. We’ve known each other for eight years already."

"They’re adults and trust us, our son loves Hyukie very much, he’ll be the perfect husband." Donghae’s appa stepped in to support the couple. "Give them some time boys, they’ll come around and be just as excited as the rest of us are." He said to the boys after Hyukjae’s parents didn’t respond.

"So noona?" Kyuhyun asked getting his sister’s attention. "What would you say if Jongwoonie hyung and I decided to get married?"

"Not yet. You have to date for a lot longer then a couple of months before I give you permission to get married."

"But you would be alright with me marrying him when the time comes?"

"Of course. I’ve gotten use to the members now and take back how I acted in the beginning. I’m a little shocked that everyone forgave me so quickly."

"You are Kyuhyunie’s noona, so it would be hard not to forgive you. But that doesn’t mean you are going without a punishment." Jongwoon added, looking a little smug and called Jungsu over. "Did you decide Ahra’s punishment?"

"Oh yeah we did."

"Punishment? Seriously?"

"Yeah, don’t worry it’s nothing too bad. We decided that you have to do the gardening when spring comes."

"Does that mean I don’t?" Youngwoon shouted.

"No, you’re appa of the house so you still have to help." Jungsu teased and turned back to Ahra. "Siwon also lends a hand and Sungmin likes to do the gardening too, so you won’t be doing it by yourself."

"You seriously had me scared for a minute. I like to garden so I’ll happily take my punishment. And as long as I have a little help, it won’t be too bad to take care of the huge yard."

"Now it doesn’t feel like a punishment, maybe you should think again." Kyuhyun teased and got a smack on the arm from Ahra and his cheek pinched by Jongwoon. "I’m kidding, I know we were just giving her a tough job for her so-called punishment and not a real punishment."

"Kyuhyun I think we should keep you away from Henry and Zhoumi before your evilness can corrupt them."

"I don’t think I can do anything to them since they’re a little too caught up in each other."

"Huh?" Jungsu asked completely confused by Kyuhyun’s statement.

"They’re dating. Did you not notice? For an omma who likes to know what’s going on in his house, you are oblivious hyung." Jungsu was taken back and looked over at the two who were happily chatting in Chinese while holding hands.

"When did that happen?"

"A couple weeks ago. Being the two newest members and taking afternoon Korean lessons together with Heechul hyung, Hangeng, and Kibum, they got really close and fell for each other." Jongwoon explained.

"Yeah, they went on their first date last week. Hee Jin unnie posted it on the site." Saehee added. Jungsu just sighed and walked back to his seat grumbling about his children keeping secrets and how no one tells him anything anymore. The rest of the evening went by quickly and before they knew it, everyone was heading to bed after Siwon and Hyukjae’s parents left. Most of the guests were leaving the next day so took a little longer to go to sleep in order to spend some more time with the members.

Yunho, Jae, Yoochun, Junsu, and Changmin were the first to leave in the morning due to their schedules and Joon and Mir were not too far behind. Donghae’s family left next since they had a long trip back home but didn’t go before they gave absolutely everyone hugs and took another look at Hyukjae’s ring. Saehee and Mama Han were staying another day so Jongwoon’s family was the last to leave.

"Jongwoon, I want you and Kyuhyunie to visit for New Years, and bring Ahra with you too. I want to get to know my future daughter more since I spent most of the time here meeting everyone else."

"Ne, omma. We’ll make sure to be there."

"Ahra, sweetie, did you need a ride home? We could drop you off on our way."

"No thanks omma. I’m leaving later with the unnies."

"Okay, well I’ll talk to you later then on the site. We have a wedding to start planning for. Donghae and Hyukjae better not be thinking they’re doing it themselves. Or even letting Jungsu do it. Not with so many ommas and noonas around."

"Of course, Saehee showed me the site last night, so I’m all set up."

"This is why we should come up with what we want first or not share it with the girls until it’s too late for them to do anything." Jongwoon whispered to Kyuhyun.

"I know. Trust me, I knew what Donghae and Hyukjae were getting themselves into when they announced it in front of everyone. I hope they know what they got into."

"What are you two whispering about?" Omma asked, staring the two boys down.

"Nothing omma." They answered in unison.

"Just thinking about who would be Donghae’s best man." Jongwoon lied.

"That is a good question. We’ll have to discuss that later."

"Nice save."

"She is my omma, I think I know what to say by now." He explained. "Omma don’t you think you should head out? You’ll be late getting home if you wait too much longer."

"Jongwoon, are you kicking me out?"

"No, I just know when you want to get home and appa and Jongjin are waiting."

"I guess you’re right. Be good, both of you. I’ll see you in a week." She said giving them one last hug before leaving.

"I like your omma, Jongwoon oppa. I don’t think I’ll mind having her as a mother-in-law in the future."

"So are you saying we could get married sooner?" Kyuhyun asked, a little hopeful.

"No. Besides, we only need one wedding being thought of at a time. And I think if you two got engaged before Jungsu oppa, he would go into a depression and just sit in the corner growing mushrooms."

"Would he really go that far?" Kyuhyun asked Jongwoon who just shrugged.

"You saw his reaction to Hyukjae and Donghae’s engagement. I think Youngwoon has to propose next year before Heechul oppa randomly decides that he and Hangeng oppa should marry too."

"I don’t think we need to worry about them deciding too quickly." Jongwoon said. "Just us." Both started laughing and ran away before Ahra could say anything.

"I said not yet! I won’t agree to it in the future if you act like this! Get back here!" She shouted as she chased the laughing couple all around the house.

A/N: OKay this was written way back in the summer time but I never got my beta to read over it. Lots of things in teh way for her. So after I while I thought I wouldn't post it at all. But then as I posted everything over to my AFF account, I decided since this was Christmas themed, I would go ahead and post it.
Id you didn't really like the original end, I hope you like it a little more now. I'm not really the happiest at how it turned out, but hey, it was my first chapter fic so there were very likely to be lots of mistakes.
I thank everyone again who read this. And unless I go through with writting an Eunhae wedding sequal sometime in tihe future, that's in for this story.
Please comments. And Merry Christmas everyone.
