The lights were out and the boys were off to bed. Only a dim, silver gleam came through the window from the moonlight that just barely illuminated the room. Soonyoung rolled over to face Seokmin, like he did every night. It was a routine thing, to face him in gratification that he was there. Seokmin, the so-called Happy Virus who kept the team thriving with his positive energy. Seokmin, who was patient and kind and was the person Soonyoung most easily confided in. Seokmin, who, even at his weakest point, was stronger than Soonyoung could ever imagine himself to be.

Soonyoung smiled when Seokmin returned his gaze. How was it that Soonyoung was able to receive so much happiness just by having Seokmin nearby? Just by looking at him? No words could describe it, how blessed he felt to have the boy beside him. He couldn’t help smiling at his direction every night, even if Seokmin caught him more often than not. He wanted for Seokmin to catch a glimpse of it every night, actually. If it meant he would be able to understand how much Soonyoung appreciated having him around, then he wanted for Seokmin to look his way every night. He wanted to smile for Seokmin all the time.

For Seokmin, who constantly underestimates his true value. For Seokmin, who was absolutely irreplaceable and absolutely important. For Seokmin whom Soonyoung loved with his entire being and more.
