It was the first day of winter break and Kyungsoo was so relieved to finally be done with finals and exams and just school in general. Thank goodness for college and not having any projects over break. He could finally relax and just enjoy the three weeks of snow, bliss, netflix, and hot chocolate. Maybe catch up on some reading if he was feeling especially cozy.
Unfortunately for Kyungsoo, Baekhyun and the crew had other plans. He’s not sure how he ended up adopting three beagles as his best friends, but here he was being dragged by his arms through the mall to some back hallway that led to a changing room on a Saturday morning.
It was Baekhyun’s idea that they all dress up as elves at the local mall to help out with the Santa photos. Kyungsoo wanted no part of it, but between Jongdae’s whining, Chanyeol’s puppy eyes, and Baekhyun’s constant nagging (and his lethal pout)- he figured why not? He could make some extra cash at the end of it.
Kyungsoo regretted his life decisions the moment his toes and head started jingling. There were bells all over his body. Decked out in red and green was definitely not a look for him and he was 500% sure he was gonna kill the three others by the end of the day. Truth be told, Baekhyun and Jongdae were definitely born to be elves- both of them were mischievous beyond compare but they could dazzle the camera with their smiles like no tomorrow. They were both very short too... not that Kyungsoo could comment considering he was even shorter. Chanyeol on the other hand... why Chanyeol ever decided he was cut out to be an elf is an anomaly to Kyungsoo. Well... sort of... he had the ears for it.
The day started easily enough. There weren’t a lot of kids coming to get their Santa pictures taken. Just a few moms who were doing early Christmas shopping that had their toddlers dressed up to take pictures and that was it. Surprisingly enough, the kids weren’t too hard to handle either. Baekhyun and Jongdae were doing a great job at assisting Santa and making the kids laugh. Those two were the perfect duo. Kyungsoo was in charge of taking the parents’ money and directing the kids where to go and Chanyeol was in charge of taking pictures after he got tired of every kid asking why he was so tall and he couldn’t possibly be an elf.
Kyungsoo figured this job was easy enough and that it wouldn’t be so bad to do this with his friends for the rest of the season.
He was wrong.
It was two days before Christmas and there was a line that wrapped around the entire Santa Winter Wonderland display in the center of the mall where the pictures were taking place. So many parents and even more kids who were whining and screaming and getting impatient with the holiday season. Kyungsoo was not a kid person. He wasn’t too fond of children in general. Too sticky and too touchy for his liking. But so far it hadn’t been so bad. Just the regular crying kid that was afraid of strangers.
The next kid in line caught his attention. His face was slathered in peanut butter, his clothes were in disarray, and his eyes looked like they could tear apart the souls of babysitters. Kyungsoo knew this kid was going to be trouble. His parents didn’t seem all that invested in watching over him either.
And boy was he right. Kyungsoo watched from behind the cash register podium as he directed the child and his parents to the Santa sled where Jongdae and Baekhyun were waiting for him. The moment he saw the two, the little kid ran up to Baekhyun and punched him in the stomach and then pulled Jongdae’s hat off and threw it across the holiday displays. Peanut butter face clambered up onto Santa’s lap and instantly pulled off Santa’s beard and started screaming. The parents just looked on with open mouths without intervening at all. It only got worse when Chanyeol tried to help the other two in calming the kid down and the kid ended up smacking Chanyeol in the face when he leaned down to talk to him. Unfortunately for Chanyeol, he was allergic to peanuts so he started breaking out a little bit.
If that wasn’t bad enough, Kyungsoo thinks the peanut butter was finally catching up to the kid because he ended up vomiting all over Santa’s lap.
Safe to say the Santa photos were postponed for a few hours for Santa and his elves to clean up the mess and Kyungsoo carefully took Chanyeol to get some medicine for his allergic reaction.
By closing time, Santa’s little helpers were making their way out to Chanyeol’s car and Kyungsoo could only laugh when he heard Baekhyun cry out,
“We are never doing this again.”
