You had a huge crush on Eymen, your best friend Melda’s brother. For some time now, you had been completely obsessed with him, constantly asking Melda for updates about him.

A few days before Christmas, while you were hanging out at her place, both of you were scrolling through TikTok on your phones.

You came across the trend “I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door” and, filled with excitement, you turned your phone towards Melda.

“If only that was your brother, omg!” you exclaimed, practically glowing.

Melda gave you an exasperated look, rolling her eyes and shaking her head, but she didn’t say anything… though the idea clearly stuck with her.

On Christmas Eve, you were relaxing and watching TV when your phone buzzed. It was a message from Melda "I hope you like your gift. Don’t forget to bring it inside it might get cold."

Confused, you frowned until you heard strange noises coming from outside your door. Intrigued, you got up to check. As you opened the door, you froze in disbelief.

There he was Eymen sitting on the ground with his hands and legs tied up with ribbons, a bow neatly placed over the tape covering his mouth.

A handwritten note was stuck to his chest:

"Merry Christmas."
