Ding-dong

Heechul waited patiently after pressing the doorbell. A boy with fluffy brown hair bounced excitedly by his side, his head barely reached Heechul's waist. After a minute or two, the carved wooden door opened and a dark-haired young man stepped out of the two-stories house. His confusion melted into genuine happiness when he saw Heechul and the little boy.

"Heebongie hyung! Wookie!"

"Hello my dear brother Ye! Long time no see!"

"Uncle Woonnie! Wookie misses you soooo much!"

The black-haired man laughed happily as he braced himself for the boy who jumped into his arms. Carefully carrying the boy on his waist, the black-haired man smiled brightly and let Heechul hug him.

"Hyung, is something urgent coming up? You didn't tell us that you'll drop by today so Appa and Umma already went to Japan for their honeymoon."

"Yes, it's very urgent." Heechul sighed, "I'll be out of the town for a day so can you look after Ryeowookie for me?"

"Jungsu hyung hasn't come back from visiting his parents yet, right?"

"Yep, he'll be back tomorrow at night. I know you have to work but I really have to leave the town so…"

"It's alright hyung. Wookie can stay with Kyu. He doesn't have classes today."

"Oh, has that brat finally claimed your ity?"

Heechul chuckled devilishly when his brother turned red from embarrassment.

"Hyung! Watch your language! What if Wookie imitates you!"

"My bad, let me rephrase that. Have you finally stopped pretending and go on a date with that brat?"

"Don't sprout nonsense stuff, hyung," his little brother pouted, "I only think of Kyu as a cute brother."

"Yeah, yeah, try saying that without blushing first and I might believe you."

He laughed again when his baby brother became too flustered to retort. Ah, to be young and lovestruck!

"Aesongie hyung, who is that?"

Heechul smirked teasingly when he heard a familiar voice shouting from inside of the house. His brother had become so red that he worried the man might melt down to the ground. The cause of his brother's blushing face chose that moment to show himself. A tall, lanky young man with dark brown-haired appeared behind his brother while wearing a blue apron. The newcomer's sharp brown eyes lighted up with surprise when he saw Heechul and the boy on the black-haired man's waist.

"Good morning brother-in-law! Hello little Wookie!"

"Uncle Kyu!"

"Hello Kyuhyun. I take it that you've been taking great care of my baby brother?"

"Absolutely. I always make sure that my wife eats and sleeps properly on time."

"Hey! Don't talk as if I'm not here with you two!"

The young man, Cho Kyuhyun, casually placed his arm around Jongwoon's shoulder and hushed him to not get worked up. Heechul couldn't help but shake his head at the two men before him. Kyuhyun and Jongwoon had known each other ever since they were a little kid. Their houses are on the same street, just opposite of one another. Their families got along very well and even went on a trip together countless times. Kyuhyun, despite being four years younger, showed his interest in Jongwoon since his early adolescence and boldly pursued the older boy. Although Jongwoon always told the younger boy to stay away, literally everyone in their neighborhood knew that he also liked Kyuhyun but never admitted it. Thus, this game of cat and mouse had become everyone's source of entertainment. Some people even made a bet to see when Jongwoon would be more honest to himself (of course, Heechul and Kyuhyun's sister Ahra also joined the bet). Heechul took a liking to Kyuhyun's determination to win over his little brother so he openly supported the younger man. Hell, Kyuhyun's sincere feelings for Jongwoon even impressed Heechul's husband, Park Jungsu, who normally wouldn't accept just anyone!

.

.

.

"Why didn't hyung tell us that you'll visit? I could've cooked for you two too!" Kyuhyun asked while casually leaned his head on Jongwoon's shoulder.

"It's urgent. This morning, I got a sudden call to join a meeting outside of the town so I'll leave Ryeowookie in your care. I'll pick him up around tomorrow morning or afternoon."

Heechul explained and gave his son's belongings to Kyuhyun. Both men nodded reassuringly at him with a confident smile and bade farewell to him. Before departing, Heechul couldn't help but tease his little brother one more time.

"Behave yourself, you two, don't do something inappropriate in front of my son!"

"Heebongie hyung!!"

"Does that mean I can do it as long as it's out of little Wookie's sight?"

"Kyu!!"

"Be my guest. Just turn on some cartoons for Ryeowookie and I guarantee that he won't disturb you!"

"HYUNG!!"

Heechul laughed and quickly ran away before his brother smacked him.

*******************************

"I can't believe that you said that! In front of Wookie, no less!"

"Calm down hyung. I was merely joking. Though I don't mind making it a reality if you want."

"Kyu!"

"Kidding, kidding~"

After breakfast, Jongwoon scolded Kyuhyun for his bad language not long ago but only got teased more as a response. He huffed in annoyance causing the younger man to chuckle fondly. Kyuhyun had always been like this, teasing him and riling him up for his own entertainment. To this day, he still didn't understand why Kyuhyun hadn't gotten bored of this childish game yet. What is so fun about pretending to like someone uninterested like him anyway? He truly couldn't understand how that genius brain worked.

"Hyung, stop frowning. You look cuter smiling."

Jongwoon jumped out of his skin when Kyuhyun suddenly leaned his handsome face in the field of his vision. Their faces were so close that he could count all shining stars in Kyuhyun's warm brown eyes. He accidentally mewled when the younger man brushed his thumbs along his chubby cheeks. For some reason, Kyuhyun's gaze suddenly lost its gentleness and burned brightly with something else entirely instead.

"Jongwoon hyung, I—"

"Uncle Kyu! Play with me!"

A lively voice of a six-year-old boy broke their spells. Jongwoon quickly took many steps away from Kyuhyun, his cheeks burning hotter than an ignited coal. Kyuhyun sighed loudly as if he just lost one in a million chances, although he showed no sign of annoyance to the little boy who told him to pick him up. Kyuhyun gladly let the boy climb on his back and cling on him.

"Hyung, don't you have class at ten? It's nine twenty-five now."

"Chist! I almost forgot! I'll be going now. Kyu, don't you dare teach any weird things to Wookie while I was away."

"I'd never harm little Wookie's innocence! Aesongie hyung, you hurt my feeling!"

Kyuhyun pouted and Jongwoon blamed his kind heart for easily falling for that stupid trick. Deciding that it's better to not encourage Kyuhyun, Jongwoon grabbed a car key and threw a coat over his shoulder. He put on the shoes while Kyuhyun and Ryeowook came to send him off at the door.

"Be careful while driving and go straight home after getting off work, got it?"

"What are you? My parents?" Jongwoon rolled his eyes at Kyuhyun's dramatic speech.

"No, I'm your loving husband."

Jongwoon dropped the car key. His heart threatened to jump out of his chest as he picked it up. Ahh! He hated how his heart reacted to that despite knowing all too well that it was merely a joke. Sometimes he truly hated Kyuhyun for continuing to give him false hope. Sadly, he loved Kyuhyun more than that so he probably had to endure this heart disease caused by Kyuhyun for the rest of his life.

"I'm going now. Bye-bye, Wookie!"

"Bye-bye uncle Woonnie!"

The boy giggled happily when Jongwoon kissed his cheek, causing him to smile at his cute nephew. However, when he looked away from Ryeowook he saw a giant kid staring at him with puppy eyes.

"Hyung, where's my goodbye kiss?"

"In your dreams, Kyu."

Jongwoon turned around and opened the door. He was already halfway to his car when something came to him. He spun around and strode to the younger man and the boy. Pulling Kyuhyun down by grabbing his collar, Jongwoon lightly kissed the taller man at his cheek. The feathery touch lasted merely a second and he quickly stepped away. Jongwoon didn't wait for Kyuhyun to regain his wit. He ran toward his car and got inside without looking back once. Inside the vehicle, Jongwoon slammed his forehead against the steering wheel and cursed loudly at his stupidity.

"Why the hell did I do that!? Kim Jongwoon you idiot! Don't give in to your stupid crush! You're not a highschool girl having her first love goddamn it!"

Jongwoon continued to scold himself while driving out of the driveway. If only he turned back or looked at the rear view mirror, he would have seen that Kyuhyun's face was currently as bright red as his.

****************************************

His classes finally ended for the day when the clock chimed at six in the evening. Working as a professor at the Seoul College, faculty of music, Jongwoon's schedule always ends at six on Wednesday. He couldn't wait to go home and had dinner that Kyuhyun prepared for him. He couldn't be more grateful for Kyuhyun who always looked after him. While Jongwoon is four years older, this last-year college student actually has better life skills and cooking skills than him. He truly couldn't imagine his life without Kyuhyun considering how much he depended on the younger man. That's why he really hated it when Kyuhyun, their families, their neighbors, or even strangers about Kyuhyun liking him. It was bad enough that he kept having hope that Kyuhyun might actually love him, he didn't need someone else to further fuel his stupidity.

.

.

"I'm back."

"Uncle Woonnie!" Ryeowook jumped into his arms, "uncle Kyu taught me to sing an abc song today!"

"Really? Why don't you sing it for me after dinner then?"

Jongwoon smiled while ruffing the boy's soft hair, not knowing that Kyuhyun secretly watched him with a fond smile.

"Welcome back hyung. Do you want to take a bath first or have dinner? Or…"

Kyuhyun whispered to the older man.

"Or do you want me as dinner in a bath?"

"KYU!!"

Jongwoon slapped the younger man's arm for saying inappropriate words. Luckily, Ryeowook had already run off to the kitchen so the boy didn't catch anything. Hearing Kyuhyun's laughter annoyed him to no end. Again, Kyuhyun played with his heart and gave him false hope. Jongwoon sighed. He really had to strengthen his resolve and tried not to fall for Kyuhyun's teasing words again.

"Sigh, whatever, let's go. Wookie is waiting for us now."

"About that, hyung, I won't have dinner with you and little Wookie so go ahead."

"Huh? You're not hungry?"

"I'll meet my friends and go for drinks. I probably won't come back tonight so see you tomorrow!"

Jongwoon wondered what kind of expression he was making, because Kyuhyun was now looking at him half-fondly half-guiltily. The younger man even looked like he was on the verge of cancelling the meeting with his friends so Jongwoon quickly pushed him out of his house.

"Go, go, don't make your friends wait. Don't drink too much and try not to get in any troubles. Call me if you need a ride. Got it?"

"Understood! Wifey, thank you for your concern~"

He rolled his eyes at the younger man while sending him off with a wave.

***********************************

"Uncle Woonnie?"

"Yes?"

"Do you love uncle Kyu?"

While he was tucking Ryeowook into bed, the boy suddenly surprised him with a question he didn't want to answer. He dropped a giraffe plush causing his nephew to protest for hurting his friend. He tried to stop his blush but it didn't seem to work.

"W-Why did you ask that?"

"Uncle Kyu told me that he really loves you, so I got curious about you."

He dropped the giraffe plush again. Ryeowook pouted at him and rescued the poor doll from him. While the little boy was checking on his friend, Jongwoon was on the verge of dying from a heart attack. Kyuhyun, loves him!? What nonsense is that!?

"Uncle Kyu was just joking with you, Wookie, don't believe him."

"Really? But he told me that he loves you thisssss much!" Ryeowook spread his short arms as wide as possible.

"That was a joke too."

"Then, when he said that he wants to marry you, is that a joke too?"

"That—"

His heart was at its limit now. It was beating so fast that he was semi-hyperventilated. Kyuhyun had never taken his teasing this far, love and marriage? He was angry at Kyuhyun for pulling this cruel joke, but even more so at himself for actually believing it for a second.

"Enough about uncle Kyu. Wookie, why don't you show me what you learned today?"

"Okay! He taught me how to sing an abc song! It's super long and there are many words that I don't know, but Uncle Kyu told me that this song is really important so I try my best!"

"You're a genius, Wookie!"

His nephew beamed proudly at him while unfolding a piece of paper that he took out from his bedtime story book.

"Uncle Woonnie, this song is for you!"

"For me?"

"Yep! Uncle Kyu told me to tell you that he dedicates it to you!"

The boy cleared his throat and started to sing.

And Jongwoon's world got turned upside down.

.

.

.

"Aesongie hyung,

Beautiful Aesongie hyung,

Cutie Aesongie hyung,

Do you know how hard I have fallen for you?

Even if you keep telling me to give up,

Feelings can't be changed that easy.

Gifted kindness,

Heavenly blessed voice,

I love you with all my heart.

Jongwoon, my beloved,

Kyuhyun is sincerely yours.

Love knocks on my door when?

Most definitely the first moment we met.

No longer stand the lonely life, I can,

Or taking you off my mind, can I,

Please take responsibility for that!

Quickly agree and be mine,

Realize that I can't be without you.

Stars, sun, moon, sky,

Tell me and I'll bring it to you.

Unless you only want me, that's even better!

Via Wookie I confess,

Would you grant me an honor to make you happy?

X is not a choice, mind you!

Yours truly is waiting for your answer.

Z to A and A to Z, it's only you for me."

.

.

.

"Uncle Woonnie… Don't cry…"

Jongwoon didn't even realize that he was sobbing until his nephew tried to comfort him. He quickly brushed tears off his eyes and smiled reassuringly at the boy.

"I'm fine. Wookie sings it really amazing that uncle can't help but cry tears of joy! By the way, Wookie, can you tell uncle what uncle Kyu looked like when he was teaching you the song?"

"What does he look like? I don't get it?"

"Was he laughing or smirking or something like that?"

"Oh, nope! Uncle Kyu looked really happy! He was smiling all the time and his eyes!"

"His eyes?"

"Yes, his eyes!" The boy shouted excitedly, "it looked exactly like when appa Chul looks at appa Teuk!"

A sob threatened to escape from his lips but he pressed it down. Jongwoon ruffled his nephew's fluffy hair lovingly before speaking up: "I see, thank you Wookie. But it's time for a good boy to sleep now."

At first, Ryeowook protested that he didn't feel like sleeping yet. But after he hummed a few nursery rhymes, the boy soon slept like a log. He smiled fondly while properly covering his nephew with a blanket. After that, he let his mind wander to what he just learned— that Kyuhyun loves him, that Kyuhyun wants to marry him, and that confession song which is cheesy but very endearing is dedicated to him. Jongwoon carefully sorted his feelings out and calmly recalled all moments he had spent with Kyuhyun, calmly recalling the way Kyuhyun looked at him…

Every last one of his memories, Kyuhyun always looked at him with that soft and affectionate gaze— the one his brother used with his husband.

Heebongie hyung is right, I'm really stupid.

Jongwoon thought to himself as he dialed the person who had stolen his heart long before he even realized what love is.

***********************************

Kyuhyun was chatting with his friends when his phone rang. A joyful smile immediately graced his handsome face when he saw the caller's name.

"Hyung, did you miss me already?"

"............."

"Aesongie hyung? Is everything okay?"

"................."

"Jongwoon hyung," his tone became more heavy and serious, "are you alright? Do you want me to go home?"

"What!? No! Don't leave your friends just because I'm acting weird!"

"You finally answer me," Kyuhyun sighed in relief, "so, why did you call me but didn't say anything?"

"I....."

"You…?"

"..................."

His beloved hyung refused to speak again. He knew that his Jongwoon hyung is a weirdo but he was never this weird. Could it be…? His hyung heard that song already!? Kyuhyun smirked as he came up with a million ways to tease his beloved hyung.

"Hyung, did you really like my song that much? Do you want me to sing—"

"I love you!"

Time and surrounding around him temporarily froze. Only his heartbeat felt alive at the moment. Its volume kept increasing and increasing until it deafened everything else. Three words. The three words that he had always dreamed of hearing, Jongwoon hyung finally uttered them to him.

"Jongwoon Hyung, I—"

The line was cut.

Kyuhyun chuckled when he realized that his Jongwoon hyung ended the call out of embarrassment. Seriously, his hyung was literally asking to be teased, what with him being cute and all. He hummed joyfully and stood up, gaining attention from his friends. One of his friends raised their glass at him and asked.

"Leaving already? But it's only halfway through the night!"

"Sorry, but I gotta go now. My heart is calling me."

Ignoring his friends' booing at his cheesy reply, Kyuhyun ran out of the place.

******************************

"Ahhhhhhh!! Why did I call him and say that!? I shouldn't bother Kyu when he is having fun with his friends!"

Jongwoon screamed and cursed into a pillow muffling his mouth so he didn't wake up his nephew who slept beside him. Just now, he let his emotions get the best of him and called Kyuhyun while the man was with his friends. To put it simply, he just stole Kyuhyun from Kyuhyun's friends. Now that he fully understood Kyuhyun's feelings for him, he is one million percent sure that the young man would no doubt dump his friends and headed back home now. There is no way Kyuhyun wouldn't do that, not after he finally said that he loves Kyuhyun too.

Ding-dong

Speaking of the devil…

Jongwoon lightly slapped his cheeks and took a deep breath to calm down. As the older one in this relationship, he had to compose himself and acted like a proper adult!

.

.

.

.

"H-Hi, Kyu! Coming b-back already?"

Jongwoon sincerely wished that the ground would just swallow him down, so he didn't have to endure this shame.

"How could I not head straight back home when my wife adorably seduced me like that?"

Kyuhyun's reply almost became a purr as he stepped past the older man into the house. Jongwoon blushed madly and cast his eyes down to avoid looking at those shining brown eyes full of love and affection. Locking the door, Jongwoon yelped when he was pulled into a strong arms all of sudden. Kyuhyun who hugged him from behind tightened his hold and pressed a light kiss at Jongwoon's nape, earning a quiet moan from him.

"Jongwoon hyung…" Kyuhyun whispered against his skin, "do you know how long I've been waiting to hear those words from you?"

Jongwoon didn't get to answer because he was distracted by that warm lips that returned to his sensitive skin, biting and it. He tried to struggle out of the younger man's embrace but that only prompted Kyuhyun to his nape harder. His heart flipped in his chest when he felt something wet and warm dragging on his skin, sending a shiver all over his body. Jongwoon couldn't find his voice to protest. His legs felt weirdly weak and only got weaker when Kyuhyun nibbled at his racing pulse and softly bit his neck.

"I love you."

Kyuhyun whispered against his skin and turned his legs into a complete state of jelly.

"... You're cheating. How can I push you away after you said that?"

Jongwoon complained weakly with rosy cheeks.

"Good. Now you know how I feel in all those years that you keep teasing and seducing me non-stop."

"Me? Seducing you?"

"Damn right you are hyung. You keep saying that you didn't like me but then you act all cute and adorable around me alone! You're so mean, making me want you so badly but I can't do anything, because you'll just faint from embarrassment!"

"It's not my fault that I really like you and my heart won't stop jumping in my chest when you tease me!"

"See? You're seducing me with your cuteness again."

Kyuhyun sighed and turned his boyfriend around to face him. Jongwoon was thinning his lips and stared at him with moistened eyes while his cheeks were painted in crimson. If he hadn't known the older man for all his life, he would've thought that Jongwoon hyung acted cute on purpose to mess with his head. His gaze shifted from those beautiful eyes to luscious lips and he had an urge to bite it. Actually, he wanted to eat up his adorable boyfriend right here right now, to mark him and remind him that he belonged to him alone. Sadly, it's impossible to do the deed without risking waking up the innocent boy. Knowing how vocal his Aesongie hyung is, there is no way little Wookie wouldn't hear their bonding activity. As much as it saddened him, Kyuhyun had to leave that for another time.

While he was lamenting his bad luck, the shorter man yawned and rubbed his eyes sleepily.

"No…" Jongwoon murmured, "I don't want to sleep yet… There are so many things I want to ask you…"

"It's okay hyung. I won't be going anywhere. I'll always be by your side so you can ask me any time. But now, let's call it a night, shall we?"

Jongwoon nodded drowsily. His heart felt light, his shoulders relaxed, and his mind felt really calm. No doubt it was because he finally let go of the burden he had been carrying, his hidden feelings for Kyuhyun. Jongwoon smiled contently. He let Kyuhyun pick him up and carried him to the bedroom where Ryeowook had already fallen asleep. Laying the older man down on a bed, Kyuhyun gently brushed a stray bang aside and pecked Jongwoon's forehead.

"Sweet dreams, my Aesongie hyung."

"Sweet dreams too, Kyu."

Gentle warmth spread through his body and sent the corners of his lips flying up. No words could describe how happy he felt now. After chasing his dense hyung for almost a decade, He finally succeeded in convincing the older man that his feelings are genuine. He couldn't wait for tomorrow to come, tomorrow, the first day he officially got to call Jongwoon hyung as his.

Kyuhyun lay down on the other side of Ryeowook. While pulling up the blanket to cover the three of them, he couldn't help but imagine a future where they adopted a kid of their own and slept together like this. Who knows? Maybe their kids might become Ryeowook's best friend in the future! Kyuhyun grinned like an idiot at his fantasy while reaching out to the older man. He held that small hand firmly and made a promise to himself that he would never let it go.

*******************************

Heechul rushed to his family's house as soon as possible. The sun had already risen high up in the sky by the time he pressed the doorbell. His brother showed up after he waited a short while. Jongwoon greeted him with a cute smile and a hug that he gladly returned.

"Hyung, you arrived at the perfect timing! Kyu is preparing lunch now."

"That's good news. I came here as soon as I got off the plane so I'm starving now."

"I'll tell Kyu to make two more dishes then." His brother chuckled, "oh, by the way, we'll play a game after the meal with Wookie. Do you want to join us?"

"Nah, I'll borrow your room and take a nap. You guys go ahead and keep him company. We'll go home after dinner."

Jongwoon nodded and turned around walking into the house.

Heechul's eyes widened.

"...You know what? I changed my mind. I'll take Ryeowookie home after lunch."

"Eh? You won't stay and have dinner with us?"

He debated whether to tell his baby brother or not, and decided to go for it just so he got to tease the younger man.

"Nope. I don't want to bother you lovebirds."

"Lovebirds?"

Heechul smirked and pointed at his neck, knowing that his brother would definitely get the message. And he sure did, because right now Jongwoon's face was even redder than a ripe watermelon. The man touched his nape and quickly spoke up in defence.

"No hyung! It's not what you think! This is just a mosquito bit—"

"Aesongie~ What takes you so long? Your hubby misses you~"

Heechul's smirk rose even higher upon hearing a familiar voice. He eyed his little brother knowingly and enjoyed how Jongwoon was on the verge of dying from embarrassment. As if his brother hadn't gotten enough damage, Kyuhyun had to choose this exact moment to appear and kiss Jongwoon's cheek. The younger man then nuzzled his nose against Jongwoon's neck and even bit it gently, not knowing that Heechul was there and witnessed everything unfolding.

"Ahem," Heechul decided to voice his presence when Kyuhyun's hand began to rub along Jongwoon's waistline.

"Hmm? Oh? Hello brother-in-law! Since when did you stand there?"

"From the very first moment you began to molest my baby brother. Don't get too cocky, Kyuhyun, I might take your side but that doesn't mean I'll tolerate any ert acts before me. Not to say that Ryeowookie is here and might walk into you two doing inappropriate stuff."

"Rest assured Heechul hyung. This is me at my best behavior, or else your baby brother wouldn't be able to walk properly now—"

"KYU!!!"

Jongwoon who finally found his voice again smacked his young boyfriend's head for further embarrassing him. Kyuhyun whined and pouted at Jongwoon, and his little brother's anger immediately melted down. Jongwoon sighed and let Kyuhyun hug him all the man wanted, both of them wore a small but full of affection smile on their faces. Just looking at this whipped couple was enough to make Heechul's blood sugar level shot through the roof. Partly because he was jealous of their lovey-dovey, partly because he wanted to tease his little brother, Heechul hid his malice intent behind a genuine smile and suggested.

"Should I take Ryeowookie with me now so you two get to enjoy your meal to your heart's content?"

He failed to hold his laughter after seeing his baby brother opening and closing his mouth like a dying goldfish. Those chubby cheeks were now redder than the reddest color he had seen. At the same time, Kyuhyun's demeanor changed from that of an obedient puppy to a hungry wolf in a blink of an eye.

"Thanks for your consideration," Kyuhyun basically purred at this point, "I'll definitely enjoy my meal and make sure that Aesongie hyung's stomach is full to the brim."

Before Jongwoon's brain fully registered that sentence, a lively childish voice chimed in.

"Uncle Woonnie is already full? But we haven't eaten anything yet!" Ryeowook asked innocently.

"Not now, but uncle Kyu will feed uncle Woonnie until he can't take it anymore—"

"CHO-KYU-HYUN!!!"

Finally done interpreting the innuendo sentence, Jongwoon harshly smacked Kyuhyun's head and covered the boy's ears after that. This time, no matter how cute Kyuhyun tried to pout, his older boyfriend wouldn't forgive him. So, Kyuhyun changed his tactic and added puppy eyes to his aegyo. It seemed to work wonderfully because Jongwoon's gaze had softened down many degrees.

"...I swear if you intentionally do that again I'll be very angry."

"Not anymore! Pinky promise!"

His little brother huffed in annoyance but did the pinky promise with the younger man anyway. Despite being clueless about the situation, Ryeowook who didn't like being left out spoke up to get the adults' attention.

"I wanna do the pinky promise too!"

"Of course you can, little buddy!"

Kyuhyun chuckled and kneeled down to level with the boy. Followed by Jongwoon, both men extended their pinky fingers to the boy and the three of them hooked their fingers together. His son giggled happily which made Jongwoon smile fondly at the boy, all the while Kyuhyun also smiled fondly at his little brother.

Ah, to be young and lovestruck.

Heechul thought to himself while secretly dabbing his eyes with a handkerchief.
