ᴀᴛᴇᴇᴢ ᴅᴜʀɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴏʟɪᴅᴀʏs (ᴘᴀʀᴛ 𝟸)
A/N: This split was only for this specific situation as it got pretty long, but feel free to tell me if you would prefer future posts to be structured like this :)
Goes home for Christmas, but his parents usually aren’t there
Spends time with his grandparents instead
His sister came home with him the first year, but after that, she only accompanied every other year
It’s a recharge time for San during this time of the year
He takes care of the creatures with Byeol, a cat, alongside him
Especially a dog (courtesy of San’s grandmother who insisted they keep him) named Shiber that he treasures the most don’t mention that in front of the others
Makes potions as practice and also experiments with some ideas he had come up with
The potions room has caught fire more than once because of this
A loud explosion that sends vibrations through the house will alert everyone else, and his grandparents will shake their heads before looking at each other until one stands up and goes to take a look (mostly his grandmother)
They can’t stay mad/annoyed for long with San apologising repeatedly and looking like that-his eyes glistening with tears and a pout on his face
Another sigh, then a wave of their wand and the room’s fixed
Plus San’s back to his cheery smile
His parents are home more often during Easter
When they do stay, San smothers them with hugs
And the entire two weeks next to them
Finds any time they are free to do something with them
He just misses them so much
You have to deal with a hyperactive San who wants needs to be outdoors
Wakes up way too early somedays (”Is this really my brother/son/grandson?”)
Tries not to make too much noise but fails
Somehow still very energetic when night falls
Other days you wouldn’t see him up and about until around noon
That’s more like the San they know
He’s there physically but his mind is asleep or somewhere else
Communicating with him would be a waste of time
You can ask him a question and he’ll react with a “Huh?” 5 minutes after
“Sannie, do you want to eat anything?”
Just sits there on the sofa
Cuddling something to his chest
Sinking into the cushions
There’s not really an in-between?
