A faint ringing sound of a cellphone can be heard from the living room. Every teenage girl from 2010 onwards would have recognized the familiar ringtone in a heartbeat. Dongwoo shuffled hurriedly from the kitchen to the living room, handing the plate to Hoya who was already sitting on the diner table.

 

"Dongwoo hyung. It's been 5 years since Infinite disbanded and you're still using Man in Love as your ringtone?", Hoya shook his head and stuffed his face with the rice and sausage Dongwoo cooked.    

 

"Just trying to get in the mood man. Today's the day.", Dongwoo said before answering the phone. His eyes lit up from hearing the voice on the other end while nodding. "We'll see the rest of you tonight." Another set of nodding. "Howon is already awake. Sunggyu hyung, on the other hand is still resting in the guest room." Sunggyu had always stayed at Dongwoo's house every now and then. In fact, he's been staying at every member's house, mostly Dongwoo and Hoya's shared house. Since his parents went back in their hometown, the members decided to just take Sunggyu under their wings since he's still not fully recovered yet. 

 

"I'll wake him up! It's already noon!" Hoya called out from the kitchen. Hoya always had this annoying habit of budding into people's conversation. Even before they debuted many years ago. If you ask every member of Infinite what their pet peeve was, they'll say it's Hoya's habit of budding into convestations without a doubt. Who wanted to be interrupted while in the middle of a conversation anyways.  It was annoying but thinking about it now, they wouldn't want to change the way Hoya is then and now. 

 

 

 

Hoya peeped through his door, his eyes automatically resting on the bed. He gave Dongwoo an apologetic look and a smiled—a fake smile, a smile everybody mastered for years. "I'll go to the market first. Just follow me there when you're done." Hoya held up his car keys and waved him goodybe. "Oh and Sunggyu hyung's looking for you. He's in the bathroom."

 

"Okay! I'll go talk to him. Be careful on the road!"

 

I should've packed my things last night. I never listen to Hoya. Dongwoo sighed as he messily shoved his things into the bag. He was supposed to go to the market with Hoya to buy food for the reunion but here he is, still packing his things. "I'll continue this later." Dongwoo whispered to no one in particular as he headed for Sunggyu.

 

"Dongwoo, I'll be going to the coffee shop near here. You know, the one we always go to." Sunggyu mumbled as he brushed his teeth. 

"I'll go with you hyung."

 

"No need. Aren't you supposed to go with Howon? Get your as.s outside.", Sunggyu mustered up a laugh. 

 

"Are you sure? You're still not fully recovered, you know that right?" Dongwoo said stubbornly and he could tell Sunggyu is starting to get annoyed. Dongwoo held up his hands up, as if he's surrendering. "Just be careful okay? You made a scene the last time you were out."

 

"Yes sir!" Sunggyu laughed and saluted Dongwoo. 

 

Dongwoo seemed uneasy letting Sunggyu go alone. He made a commotion exactly one year ago. Their last reunion was a disaster. Dongwoo, hopping on his car, hoping this year's reunion would finally be a reunion they'll never forget.
