damn I'm so early lmao please read a/n in the end!

He knew something was up with the others; recently they’ve all been unusually quiet sending each other knowing looks.  Hyunseung knows something suspicious is going on, he wasn’t that daft, he may not talk or interact much but he had always been the observant type picking up the tiny details going on that others may not see.

He questions on interrogating one of them to know what the hell is even going on however every time he tries to corner one of them they sidetrack him off the topic before hyunseung  could even realise what he was doing in the first place. And at this very moment hyunseung was currently tucked up comfortably in his bed enjoying the fluffy warmth wrapped around him, embracing every minute of the soothing silence in the bedroom.

Well that was what he was doing before that is.

Surprisingly the maknae had bolted his door open, how did he bust his door open without breaking off the hinges? He’ll never know. When the booming noise had bounced off the walls hyunseung didn’t know whether to just punch dongwoon in the face for disturbing his peace or coil back in his cocoon ignoring the other, unfortunately he didn’t get to do either as the youngest had ripped hyunseung off his comfort zone and shoving his jacket in his chest before dragging him out of the room. Flustered and confused with everything happening the next thing he knows is that he’s being rushed into putting on his shoes by the door. The only words that he could actually hear from dongwoon were something along the lines about an emergency, apparently.

It was now 3:56pm; hyunseung was stood in the middle of a fair. Dongwoon had dragged him out of his bed for this. It was full of people varying from couples to families bright attractive displays were glaring from the sides, up ahead were your typical roller coaster rides in all sorts of shapes and sizes especially the ones that touched the sky. Hyunseung readjusted his scarf making sure that it covered up to his nose, he was glad that he brought it along with him while being rushed out of the dorm, dongwoon had told him to wait informing him that he would get them something to eat.

Fiddling with the ends of his sleeves he hoped dongwoon would get back quicker so he could question him why he was here in the first place. After what seemed like forever dongwoon had come back with two large pink cotton candies in both of his hands hyunseung immediately snatched one of them before huffing in annoyance.

“What’s wrong hyung?”

Hyunseung glared at him from the side while indulging himself in his cotton candy.

“My problem is that you literally kidnapped me from my bed to take me here plus you lied to me saying that it was an ‘emergency’”

“But it is an emergency this is the last day of the fair before they move away and I needed someone to go with.”

“There’s a thing called ‘asking’ you .” Hyunseung spoke under his breath as he continued angrily munching at his cotton candy ignoring the tinge of sadness in dongwoon’s tone. The maknae pouted before throwing an arm around hyunseungs shoulder bringing him close to his chest.

“Don’t be like that hyung, I’m sorry~” he whined leaning his head on hyunseung shoulder.

“Move yourself. I’m angry with you.”

“How can I make it up to you hyung? Plus it seems you already finished your cotton candy.”

Blinking in confusion hyunseung looked at his now empty hand, all was left was the stick. He didn’t even realise that he was so busy being mad at dongwoon that he didn’t get to savour the sweet treat, frowning at this dongwoon stepped up in front of hyunseung.

“I just want to go home and stay in bed.” Hyunseung complained burying his face deeper into his scarf.

“Don’t be like that seungie~, I’ll let you have mine if we go together on at least one ride.”

He looked up to see dongwoon grinning at him then down to the cotton candy at his hand, contemplating for a while he eventually agreed. Since they were already here at the fair they might as well go on at least one ride.

“Fine, now give me your cotton candy.”

Dongwoon happily handed it over before he laced his fingers with hyunseungs free hand leading the both of them away. With hyunseung distracted by his cotton candy the maknae took this opportunity to bring them over to the ride he anticipated the most, it’s been forever since the last time he went on it.

After zigzagging through the crowds they were finally in the line and it wasn’t long until it was their turn, dongwoon couldn’t help but cheerfully giggle in excitement swinging hands with hyunseungs. After hyunseung had devoured his treat he looked around him to see that they were in a line but the moment he looked up to see the ride he felt his heart drop to his stomach. It was the Ferris wheel.

“Dongwoon.”

“Yes hyung~”

“I’m not getting on this ride.”

Glancing over at the elder he watched hyunseungs face slowly grew paler by the second, grasping his hand in reassurance hyunseung looked up at dongwoon.

“Don’t worry hyung I’m here with you.”

“Can we please not go on this one, please?”

“We can’t turn back now we’re next, just focus on me it won’t be that bad I promise.”

As soon as dongwoon spoke they were already ushered into their carriage and not once did hyunseung let go of dongwoon’s hand or looked up. Once they were safely inside and seated the eldest of the two was shivering uncontrollably, dongwoon manoeuvred his arm around hyunseungs torso drawing soft circles on to his side.

“I hate you; you know I’m afraid of heights.”

“And I love you too but I did promise you that it will be worth it. Just focus on me like I said.”

Despite hyunseung grumbling to himself he heaved a sigh before dongwoon grabbed his attention again, for the next ten minutes dongwoon had successfully distracted hyunseung by talking to him about random things and as time went by hyunseung had came out of his shell and was back to normal.

“Hyung look over there.”

Without thinking hyunseung looked straight ahead. It was breath taking. The both of them were at the highest point of the Ferris wheel and they both had a clear view from up ahead, a vast sea of trees and buildings were seen what made it even better was the glowing lights constellated around them coming from not only the fair but also the buildings. The sky was flushed orange to pink as the clouds slowly became thinner and thinner spreading out across.

Hyunseung was honestly lost for words.

“I told you it’ll be worth it.”

And it definitely was.

The next day kikwang approached him and asked if hyunseung would like to have a picnic with him, of course hyunseung agreed since without a second thought. It turns out that kikwang had already planned ahead for the picnic and was just waiting for hyunseung to agree.

They both decided to take the bus on the way; it had been a while since they’ve been on one considering that they would always be escorted to places by their van. It was a refreshing for a change. Hyunseung was seated by the window as he watched the scenery outside go by like and endless film, it was nostalgic. Memories of his trainee days slowly fill in his head, all the time he would relentlessly travel back and forth from his worn out apartment which he used to rent to the dance studio. Hyunseung was glad to say that it was definitely tiring yet he was proud that he had made it this far.

After five stops they both hopped off the bus making their way through the park, it was a miracle that the weather was decent for once this week. Trudging through the path not minding the soft earth beneath their shoes kikwang led them to a spot that was secluded off to the side with no one around. He ran ahead of hyunseung dropping the picnic basket on the ground before stretching his arms out in relief.

“A perfect day for a picnic” he spoke up with his head facing the sky.

The ends of hyunseungs lips curled up seeing how happy kikwang was, catching up to the other they both began to set out the blanket on ground since it was already nearing lunch.

Once they had settled everything down and gobbled up the neatly cut sandwiches that kikwang personally made hyunseung couldn’t help wonder.

“Hey kiki, why did you want to take me out to have a picnic with you anyway?”

“Well why not and it’s been a while since we’ve last hanged out together.”

Hyunseung fell silent as he tried to remember the last time it was just him and hyunseung yet kikwang was right.

“by the way does the sandwiches taste okay?”

“Well if they weren’t I wouldn’t have downed four of them down my throat.”

Kikwang laughed at hyunseungs blunt statement, it was always like hyunseung to blatantly speak from his mind. Comfortable silence enveloped both of them while they continued on eating their lunch, putting away the left over’s  and empty wrappers kikwang and hyunseung fell back on the now clean picnic blanket. Arms behind their head watching the clouds make their way across the sky, the only sound that could be heard was the distant sound of cars far away along with the gentle wind brushing the branches against the other.

“I used to come out here a lot” Kikwang paused before speaking again “back then whenever everything was becoming too much for me I would run out here to get away from it all and coming here has never failed to clear my mind. So I guess you could say this is like my secret sanctuary.”

Hyunseung peaked over to his side, kikwang’s eyes were closed he looked so calm it was another side of kikwang that he rarely sees. As kikwang was always cheerful and full os smiles up to his eyes however this kikwang was different.

“You know I’m always here if it ever happens again.”

Turning over to his side kikwang offered a sincere smile. “I know that.” Hyunseung mimicked the smile before sitting up.

“Now let’s eat the cheesecake!”

“Wait how did you know there was cheesecake? I was supposed to surprise you with that.”

“Nothing escapes my eyes especially if its food.”

 I guess hyunseung could say that today was a perfect day.

If he thought that day was perfect then today was positively amazing. After hyunseung had finished up his schedule for the day he chose to head back straight to the dorm instead of his own apartment since it was closer, the idea of lounding in his sofa with some take away food sounded like heaven to him at the moment.

He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket breaking hyunseung away from his thoughts, retrieving it out from his pocket he saw that it was from yoseob. Unlocking his phone he skimmed over the text that was sent, according to the text yoseob wanted to meet up with him with the address he had sent along. Hyunseung guessed that his lounging around could wait for a bit, informing his manager about the address yoseob had sent him they immediately headed there right away he was glad that the manager had offered to drop him home he didn’t think he would make it home without falling asleep halfway.

Thanking his manger for dropping him off hyunseung had arrived outside a book cafe. It honestly looked small from outside as it was decorated with plants hanging around it blended well with the colour scheme going on giving off a peaceful atmosphere. he quickly sent out a text to yoseob that he arrived it took no longer than two minutes for the youngest to text back saying he was already inside waiting. As hyunseung finally stepped inside the café he was welcomed by the warmth inside, the walls stretched along with endless books. Tables were full of books and groups of people huddled around engrossed with themselves as waiters went around delivering warm drinks to the customers.

His doe eyes roamed around until he spotted someone ecstatically waving their arms off at the side in a booth. Hurrying himself across he finally plopped in his seat across yoseob who greeted hyunseung with a bright grin.

“Isn’t this place awesome?!”

“Yeah It definitely is.” He answered as he still looked around picking up every detailed bit that left him in awe. Like the saying goes you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

“how did you find out about this place?”

“I overheard one of the makeup noonas gushing over some café so I asked them about it and they recommended it to me, so ever since then I’ve been coming here whenever I have free time.”

Hyunseung mentally noted down that he should do the same, he was definitely coming back here often too.

“by the way I already ordered for you a hot chocolate drink with marshmallows on top and I found some of your favourite books for you.”

Bringing his attention back to yoseob he then looked down to see that everything was already laid out for him, picking up the books from the neat pile he realised that these without doubt are his favourite books.

“Okay, what’s with this nice gesture going on all of a sudden do you want something from me or?”

Yoseob erupted in a fit of laughter before he calmed himself down before he took a sip of his own drink.

“I just wanted to hang out with you seungie how can you be so mean.” He brought a hand over his chest clenching where his heart was feigning pain.

Hyunseung rolled his eyes before smiling back t yoseob, “thanks seobie I really appreciate this.” He made himself comfortable leaning back into his seat as he used his hot chocolate mug to warm up his hands.

“so how was your day?”

“The same old thing like every other day, I was planning on lounging at home on my sofa with some takeout food until I saw your text.”

Yoseob leaned on the table taking one of the books from hyunseungs pile, “but you’re glad you came here right hyung?”

“Oh I don’t know I guess its okay.” Hyunseung spoke in a playful tone “how was your day by the way?”

Yoseob ended up informing on how his day went; they continued catching up on things in general until he felt something soft nudging his side.

“What’s wrong?”

Hyunseung had stopped talking in the middle of his sentence, looking down next to him he saw something he didn’t expect.

“Wait why there is a cat here?”

If hyunseung thought yoseobs grin couldn’t get any bigger then he was surely wrong. “Oh I forgot to mention its also a cat café too, you’re allowed to bring your cat or adopt one from here, isn’t that great or what.”

The cat continued rubbing its head against hyunseungs arm yearning for attention, the cat was covered in orange, black and white splotches ending with white paws. Offering a small smile he gently petted the cat before scratching behind its ear.

“seungie why don’t you treat me like that?”

“what you want me to scratch you behind your ear, are you a cat now.” The feline purred then proceeded to claim hyunseungs lap as his fingertips danced across the cats back.

“I’m more like a dog then a cat to be honest.”

Hyunseung scoffed, “yeah a Chihuahua.”

Yoseobs cheerful expression twisted into disbelief. When his expression dropped hyunseung instantly couldn’t control his laughter it was just too hilarious for him, his laughter grabbed unwanted attention of the people around them to which he quickly apologised trying to stifle down his laughter.

“seungie hyung!”

Hyunseung felt his stomach churn from laughing so hard he wouldn’t be surprised if he was crying by now. Despite being called a Chihuahua yoseob couldn’t help but let the smile on his face grow brighter at the state of hyunseung enjoying himself.

Just seeing hyunseung happy made him happy.

It was awkward, well kind of.

After having a long nap he woke up to find no one in the dorm apart from junhyung who he found in the living room watching tv. It was definitely surreal to see him at the dorm during the day since he was normally cooped up in the studio losing himself in his world of music.

“hey seung the others got held back so doojoon said that we should just go and eat dinner without them.”

Glancing at the time across he room he saw that it was only around five o’clock, his nap had taken up nearly three hours. He wasn quiet hungy yet since he just woke up not long ago, with a shrug he seated himself next to junhyung on the sofa.

“What are you watching?”

“I have no idea, there isn’t that much to watch apart from reruns so I just left it at this.”

The next twenty minutes was spent with hyunseung trying to decipher the plotline of the drama. After a while he gave up noticing it was all too predictable with the way the characters were distinguished.

“Uh, do you wanna go out to eat for dinner? I mean since there’s nothings left in the fridge.”

“Sure, anywhere is fine.”

Finishing off the drama on tv the two made their way to a restaurant called ‘All Star’ by junhyung’s car. Junhyung informed hyunseung that the restaurant was fairly new and he’d been meaning to eat there but he didn’t have time as for some unlucky reason he was always called back to the studio whenever he was supposed to go.

Entering the restaurant the smell of chips instantly drawed both of them in, the place was decorated in simplistic way with broad bold colours. Finding a place that was comfortable for them they order right away, the food they ordered was simply to die for. It had been ages since he got to eat greasy food.

As his taste buds were drowning in the goodness a loud bang shocked hyunseung almost chocking on his dinner.

Junhyung assisted hyunseung in a snap giving some of his drink making it easier to swallow the food.

“What the hell was that?!” he exclaimed after drinking.

“Oh I forgot to tell you that this place also has a bowling alley.” He casually said before retrieving his drink from hyunseung and taking a sip.

“What is this some kind of date now?”

“Why do you think it’s a date?” junhyung asked in curiously

“Well I did remember you saying that for a perfect date you needed; a car, money, a bowling bowl and something nice to where.”

Junhyung leaned on the table hand holding his chin up, a sly smirk painted over his lips, “well it could be a date if you wanted it to be.”

Hyunseung threw his used tissue at junhyung’s face as he avoided in disgust, laughing at junhyung the both of them finished up their food, flagging down the waiter the both of them payed for their own meals.

Of course they weren’t entirely finished not without trying out the bowling alley. Once they’ve had their bowling shoes on they both started competing against each other for the highest score. The sound of bowling pins emitted throughout the alley, junhyung and hyunseung were enjoying themselves with every minute their smiles never faded even once throughout the whole time.

After ten missed calls from the others including a very long text from doojoon, junhyung and hyunseung decided it was time to head back home. Unfortunately they got themselves caught up in traffic on the way, quickly texting doojoon about their situation before he blew up his phone again he checked up on hyunseung to find him sleeping against the window.

Everything will always work out in the end.

This time hyunseung was alone. There was no yoseob, kikwang, junhyung, doojoon or even dongwoon. It was just hyunseung by himself in the dorm. Thankfully yoseob had left a note on the ridge letting him know that they were all going to be busy until midnight, exhaling he made his way into the living room and flopped himself on the sofa. He literally had nothing to do the whole day and as usual hyunseung loved doing nothing but during this week so far he had been going out lately with the others then all of a sudden he was just by himself.

He shook his head. no, today he would spend some quality time with just himself. When the last time was that hyunseung treated himself? Exactly. Clapping his hands together he decided on how he would treat himself.

Taking his laptop from his room hyunseung quickly settled it up connecting the laptop to his TV, bringing up his favourite drama, you who came from the stars. What’s better then re-watching one of your favourite dramas all over again anyway before he could get himself comfortable he quickly retrieved the bag of already made popcorn that he bought a few days ago. Now everything was officially set and ready for him to enjoy his day, reaching over to tap the spacebar to start the first episode he then threw himself back on the sofa ripping open the bag of popcorn shovelling them in his mouth.

After around the fifteenth episode hyunseung felt his eyelids grow heavy, forcing them open every time they fluttered he tried his best to continue watching his marathon until he finally gave in and fell into a deep sleep. The last thing he remembered before he slept was seeing the clock across the room before everything faded to black.

In the next half an hour hyunseung felt the air forced out of himself his doe eyes immediately shot open trying to grasp what was going on only to see that something warm and firm was blocking his view, the familiar scent of vanilla brought him back to his senses.

He should’ve known that he would do this.

“Doojoon get off me.”

“Eh seungie since when were you on the sofa?.”

Hyunseung pressed his palms flat against doojoon’s back and shoved him off with all his strength, “just get. Off I can’t breathe.”

With doojoon finally up he grinned at hyunseung like he did nothing wrong. The younger of the two rubbed his eyes to get rid of the sleepiness as his vision was slightly blurred, sitting up straight he turned back to the tv to find it blank. Weird, he didn’t remember switching off the tv looking at the laptop I was known to him that his laptop most likely died during his sleep. Sighing he glanced back at doojoon who was still grinning at him and it was honestly starting to annoy him.

“I thought you were gonna be busy with the others until midnight.”

“Nah, the manager let me go home early, of course I couldn’t leave my poor seungie all alone you poor thing you must’ve been dead bored all day.”

Huffing, hyunseung crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, “oh please I was having the time of life until you came.”

“is seungie cranky because he got woken up?” doojoon mockingly said in a wickedly sweet tone while pinching one of hyunseungs cheeks. Hyunseung retaliated by swatting doojoon’s hand away.

“I’m gonna go and sleep in my bed if you excuse me.”

Being the annoying idiot he is, doojoon grasped hyunseungs shoulders forcing him to lie across the sofa just like doojoon. Looping an arm around hyunseungs torso he kept the other huddled close to him his nose buried in between doojoon’s collarbone.

“Doojoon can you not?!.” Hyunseung bellowed trying to remove himself from doojoon’s hold.

“I can’t let you go to the bedroom.”

“And why not?”

“Because its time.” Before hyunseung could answer the lights in the apartment went off, his senses were alerted as everything was dark the only thing he could sense was doojoons distince scent and his arm that was still wrapped around him. Listening closer he could hear the sounds of feet shuffling in the corridor there seem to be more than one person.

Hyunseung found himself sitting up thanks to doojoon whose arm was now resting over hyunseungs shoulder, in the door way the shuffling of feet got louder as something bright illuminated in the dark. He watched as it was none other than yoseob and kikwang the duo wore bright smiles as the both carried the deliciously well prepared cake that was littered with candles on top. At both of their sides junhyung and dongwoon were present watching hyunseungs face.

“Happy birthday seungie!” They all announced loudly.

He didn’t know what to say. Hyunseung was clearly stricken with disbelief at what was happening.

“Wait, it’s my birthday?”

Now this time the rest of them were the ones in disbelief, “oh my god, don’t tell me that you forgot it was your own birthday?” yoseob questioned.

“Seungie hyung how could you even forget?” added dongwoon.

“That’s our seungie for you.” Doojoon stated as he ruffled hyunseungs hair.

“Anyway quickly blow out the candles and make a wish!” kikwang cheered as he and yoseob moved closer.

Without a moment to lose hyunseung blew the candles out as the smoke disappeared into the darkness, junhyung switched on the lights to reveal that living room was decorated with balloons and colourful banners. Hyunseung wondered how he didn’t even notice this all when he woke up also the fact that he must’ve been one deep sleeper.

“Did you really not notice that it was your birthday?” Junhyung questioned as he adjusted his party hat on his head.

“I really forgot about it but thank you guys this really means a lot to me especially this week I’ve definitely enjoyed spending time with you all I can’t really thank you guys enough.” Hyunseung spoke sincerely and ended his speech with a bright smile.

“Wait you didn’t get to spend time with me, actually we can spend some time together tonight.”

“Doojoon. No.” junhyung sternly said.

“Yeah hyung you’re gross.” Dongwoon butted in.

“Its cake time!” yoseob interrupted their conversation.

Cutting the first piece of cake each member took a spoonful and fed it to hyunseung, as they also took turns capturing the moment on their phones. Gathering together they all began to devour hyunseungs cake savouring the sweet icing goodness.

Moments like these are worth cherishing together.

finally finished this!! Happy belated birthday to the one and only 4d prince hyunseung, hope you had a wonderful day with your loved ones and cherish every moment!! ヾ(*´∇`)ﾉ
