A/N: A little (late) gift for the holidays. Enjoy! :)

Jin turned off the TV and got off of the couch.

It was close to midnight, but had decided to open the presents in the morning.

His younger brother, Namjoon, stayed at a friend's house for a Christmas potluck.

Which stuck Jin to babysit their youngest brother Taehyung.

Although Jin would have wanted to go to the potluck, he didn't mind babysitting.

He turned off the lights.

The only lights that illuminated the room were the Christmas lights from the tree.

He stretched slightly and walked to the kitchen to grab a light snack.

He opened the pantry and took out a small bag of cookies.

He opened it and ate one as he made his way back to the living room.

He turned his head to the clock, seeing it was now midnight.

I guess it's Christmas now.

Jin began to make his way back to his room, but stopped.

He stayed still as he heard shuffling from the chimney.

He turned his head slightly.

Could it possibly be a robber?

No...that can't be...

How would they be able to get through?

Jin continued to watched the chimney, he saw claws appear out of the chimney.

The body slumped on the firewood, seemingly boneless.

Wearing a suit of red and white.

Jin backed away slightly, dropping the cookies out of fear.

The person turned to look at Jin.

"It's past your bedtime. Naughty children must be punished."

It soon picked itself up and scrambled towards the boy.

Jin ran to his room, he quickly opened the door and closed it. He placed the lock and moved his drawer to block the drawer.

He breathed in and out heavily as he backed away.

What the hell was that...

He then widen his eyes.

Taehyung.

Jin knew the boy's door was not locked, if anything that creature or whatever it was could get to Taehyung.

Jin turned to his room window.

He tiptoed towards it. He slowly opened it, making sure not to make too much noise.

He saw the drop down was slightly high, but was covered with a blanket of snow.

He took a breath before jumping down.

He shivered as the cold engulfed his body. He climbed up and crawled to Taehyung's bedroom window.

He soon reached it and began to open it.

He pushed the window aside and forced himself to climb up.

He pulled himself inside and shut the window.

He looked on the bed, seeing the younger was sleeping peacefully.

He sighed in relief and went to lock the bedroom door.

I guess I'll stay here for the night.

Jin went to the closet to pull out a sleeping bag.

He was then caught by his ankles, causing him to fall.

He winced in pain and turned his head.

He saw the claws from earlier grip onto both his ankles.

He was about to scream before being pulled in front under the bed.

Taehyung continued to sleep, unaware.

Next Day

Namjoon had returned back to the house.

He spotted Taehyung rushing out of his room happily and made his way to the Christmas tree.

"Hey Tae, merry Christmas." Namjoon smiled.

"Merry Christmas hyung!" Taehyung chirped and sat on the floor.

Namjoon sat on the couch as he watched the other decide what to open first.

Maybe Jin is still sleeping in.

Taehyung spotted a red present behind the tree.

He picked it up and checked the tag.

To: Taehyung
From: Santa

He smiled and opened it.

Namjoon looked at the present with a raised brow.

Did Jin get him another gift?

Taehyung lifted up the box and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"What's wrong Tae?" Namjoon asked as he sat beside the younger boy.

"This is Jin hyung's sweater." Taehyung said as he showed him, not noticing blood stains on it.

Namjoon widen his eyes.

He then spotted a note inside the box, he picked it up and read through it.

What a good boy you've been, sleeping on time. Here is a small gift, a reminder what will happen if you don't sleep before I arrive.
