The recording site for the variety show was decorated with a Christmas atmosphere, with twinkling lights, a small Christmas tree full of decorations, and red and green cushions piled on the sofa.
The members sat around a spacious sofa area, dressed in various casual clothes, with half of them wearing hats. Their expressions and postures were very relaxed and at ease, a stark contrast to the tension they displayed during their first recording.
Everyone hummed cheerful Christmas carols, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.
Ou Yangguang was practically sunk into the sofa, his posture as languid as a cat basking in the sun. He wore a chunky knit vest with a red and white color blocking on the collar and hem, over a white shirt, and a matching red and white striped beanie. His hair, visible under the brim, was much longer than before, lying smoothly against his forehead and neck.
The long, bell-shaped earrings on his ears made a very subtle, crisp tinkling sound with his occasional swaying or laughter, adding a touch of festive cuteness and playfulness.
His head rested naturally on Zhang Yixing's shoulder, appearing exceptionally relaxed and dependent.
As usual, leader Kim Junmyeon steered the conversation at the start: "What did we do last Christmas?"
Park Chanyeol immediately raised his hand and said in a loud voice, "Last Christmas, it seems like only Team K was there?" Because only Team K spent Christmas in Korea last year.
"What did you do?" someone asked.
Lay (Yixing) chimed in with his adorable, slightly goofy tone, reciting EXO's classic slogan: "Our hearts are always together, we are one~"
“Yes.” Chanyeol agreed.
Park Chanyeol recalled, "So I cried while watching the movie." It was the first time he had ever cried in a movie theater, when he and Team K went to see it together last year.
Kim Junmyeon steered the conversation back to the present: "So we bought gifts. We bought gifts for each other, didn't we?"
At this moment, Huang Zitao interjected somewhat shyly, "But I bought the cheaper one~".
Wu Sehun immediately followed suit: "We also bought the cheaper ones."
Byun Baekhyun waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing!"
Park Chanyeol concluded, "Money isn't the most important thing; it's the sentiment." He then posed the crucial question, "But should you give it to the person you want to give it to, or draw lots?"
"Is this a blessing or not?" several people exclaimed in unison.
"It has to be a matter of luck or not." Everyone seems more interested in relying on luck.
Byun Baekhyun expressed his concern: "In that case, some people might not win." Some members might be unlucky and not receive a gift.
“That’s right.” Park Chanyeol wholeheartedly agreed, then suggested, “How about we play a lottery instead of rock-paper-scissors today?”
Ou Yangguang, who had been leaning lazily against the wall, finally spoke, his tone slightly urging, "Whatever, just decide quickly." He wanted to get to the point as soon as possible.
"Oh, this is good."
"Whether it's good or bad luck."
Finally, the decision was made: "Okay, then let's not worry about the fortune. Take the gift from the person whose name was drawn." Park Chanyeol made the final decision.
After deciding on the method, Park Chanyeol's nose suddenly twitched. He leaned against the back of the sofa like a large dog, stretching his neck to sniff the pile of gifts on the table behind him: "Who bought the seaweed rice rolls?" As he spoke, he picked up a black plastic bag that looked inconspicuous.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Han was the first to burst out laughing.
"Really?" Zhang Yixing asked in surprise.
"I don't want that," Junmyeon said, expressing his disdain.
"Why does it smell like a noodle shop?" Byun Baekhyun wrinkled his nose and sniffed as well.
Park Chanyeol suggested, "How about we bring our gifts over and take a look?"
"Bring it here."
Lu Han said mysteriously, "If I were to take it, everyone would be shocked." He whetted everyone's appetite.
Upon hearing this, Ou Yangguang finally decided to leave his brother Yixing's shoulder and get up to get the gift. When he returned, he was carrying a bag in each hand, one of which was the black plastic bag that Park Chanyeol had been carrying.
When he returned, he saw Zhang Yixing biting his fingers guiltily, his eyes darting around. Ou Yangguang smiled knowingly, turned his back to the camera, deliberately shook the black bag in his hand, and then sat down, placing both bags on his lap.
