A/N: This is my first HaeHyuk fic, please be nice. This is written in Hyukjae's point of view.
Call it weird but I always believe that Santa Claus exists. Since I was three, I always receive gifts from Santa. Under that Christmas tree during Christmas Eve, a gift just for me was placed by Santa. I always place cookies and a glass of milk to thank him for bringing me my present. It’s nice to see that what I want would be the exact thing inside that gift I always received. It’s like Santa is really monitoring the presents that kids want to have. And because Santa always gives me a present, I promised to myself that I will always be good all throughout the year.
Now that I am eighteen, I wonder if Santa would still give me a present. I did get one last year but I am getting old and it would be weird if I still get one from him right? But this time, I am so determined and I so wanted to wait for him to arrive and to see him with my own eyes. I always fail to see him because I always end up sleeping right before midnight that’s why I never had the chance to see him. Like the past Christmas that came, I placed cookies and a glass of milk for Santa. I slept this afternoon so that I would stay awake until midnight. My parents were sleeping now and I hide myself in the kitchen. It’s almost midnight and I am getting more excited as the seconds of my watch goes tick tock.
I suddenly heard someone opening the front door. Wait a minute! I thought Santa always enters the chimney but why is he using the front door? As the door slowly opens, oh my! I got more nervous at the same time I felt my blood rushing through my veins. Finally, I am going to see Santa! And the door was completely opened. My jaw almost dropped seeing a guy. There’s a thief! A thief entered our house! Oh my gosh! I can’t believe that this thief who is placing a gift under our Christmas tree! Wait! What? He’s placing a gift under the Christmas tree and now he is eating the cookies I made! Wait! I can't believe what I am seeing! Am I hallucinating things?
“Donghae!” I called and I started to walk towards the living room. He looked shocked as he dropped the glass of milk and the plate. Donghae is my best friend next door. I always hated him because he never gave me presents while I effort to buy him one.
“H-hyukkie?” I can feel he is panicking. He tried to run out of our house but failed because I take hold of his hand. Aw. Too late Hae. You have a lot of explaining to do. I sat him down the couch making him more worried. I almost laughed hard seeing him so tensed but I held back as I need to look scary.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
“Hyukkie-ah…”
“What?”
He stared at me and he looked like he doesn’t know what to do or what to say. I quickly get the gift he placed under the Christmas tree and the next thing I knew, I almost threw it away. The card says it’s from Santa. Donghae is Santa? I stared angrily at him. He fooled me all this years. That’s why he always asks me what I want for Christmas but he never gave me one present ever since. I thought he was just teasing me. Oh! How I want to punch him right now.
“Hyukkie… I’m sorry.”
“Why did you trick me Hae?”
“I didn’t mean to-“ I cut him as I slapped him hard because of the fact that he lied to me all these years but I trembled as I never intended to hurt him. It never crossed my mind to hurt him physically and emotionally. Did I mention I love this fishy here so much? And of course this fishy here loves me too! So I firmly hugged him as I whispered, “I’m sorry Hae.”
“I’m sorry Hyukkie. I just want you to be happy.”
“But I would be happier if you gave those gifts to me personally instead of pretending.”
“But, since you we were three, I always asked my mom to give me money because I want to buy you a gift and that day, when I placed your gift under your Christmas tree, I forgot to put my name on it so you assumed it was from Santa. Remember you came to my house the next day and you told me you are so happy that Santa gave you a present. You even teased me that I didn’t get any. So from that day on until well, today, I give you gifts and pretend that I am Santa. I even have a spare key of your house.” He showed me the key. Wait! That's my key. I lost that key few years back. Aww. Even though he tricked me for fifteen years, it doesn't matter now right? He is so sweet for doing all this trouble just for me.
I opened the gift and saw a big blue fish plushie. It’s soooo cute! My collection of stuffed animals are getting bigger. This is my 15th Christmas gift from Hae.
“Thank you Hae!” I jumped over him and hugged him tighter. “Thank you for being my secret Santa. I love you.”
“And I love you too.” And I gave him a long kiss on the lips.
What a way to start a nice Christmas day!
