A/N: I AM BACK. Sorry for the super, super late update ;-; My laptop finally died (may it rest in peace) and I finally got a new one (YAY). Please read 279 first. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABYHAE ;A; PLEASE COME BACK SAFELY.

It was time. Maybe he should have picked another day to enlist. But what better way to celebrate his birthday than to proudly serve his nation?

His only regret, was to not be able to celebrate with s. Not to eat Ryeowook’s cake, not get smothered in hugs by everyone, not to bankrupt Hyukjae with his absurd birthday demands.

Hyukjae. That was another thing he regretted. Not being by his side during his service. Not being there to say goodbye. Not telling him how much he was going to miss him.

As far as birthdays went, this was not his best. Nor was it his worst. That title was reserved for the one where Kyuhyun “accidentally” set the kitchen on fire and stabbed Yesung with a fork. That was definitely the worst. And the best. 

Please read and review!
