Jiyong is busy going through their walk-in closet when he hears a noise coming from their kitchen.

"Babe, what's that noise?"

Jiyong shouts while still looking for something to wear.

"Nothing"

Seunghyun replies, trying to sound innocent. Jiyong senses something is off by the tone of Seunghyun's voice, so he goes to the kitchen and checks it out himself.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Seunghyun is caught red-handed, eating a pint of cookies and cream ice cream, and stops mid-bite.

"I- I thought you were getting ready?"

"I was but I sensed that you were up to no good."

Jiyong glares at him.

"And I was right."

"I didn't do anything."

Seunghyun tries to act cute and innocent, using his puppy dog eyes.

"Hyung, you're gonna spoil your dinner."

"No, I'm not."

Seunghyun continues munching on the ice cream.

"We are about to have dinner at Seungri's Ramen Restaurant and you're eating ice cream."

"So, what?"

"So, you're gonna be full already and won't be able to eat dinner, that's what."

"Nonsense."

"I know you. You're going to be so full, you won't have room for Maknae's ramen. And it's his birthday, he'll be sad if you don't eat it."

"I'll eat. There's plenty of room here."

Seunghyun rubs his stomach to emphasize his point.

"I doubt it."

"Why doubt it? You know the saying "there's always room for dessert", right?"

"Yeah, but yours is on backwards. You eat the main course and then the dessert, not the other way around."

"No difference to me. It's all food. Why does everything have to be in order?"

"Ugh. You're so stubborn. If you can't eat dinner because of this, you're seriously gonna get it."

"Relax, I'll eat Maknae's ramen. Alright?"

"Just make sure you eat every single noodle."

Jiyong points at him before backing away and making his way back to their room. And before reaching the door looks back again at him.

"I mean it, Babe."

"Fine."

 

 

...

 

"Happy birthday, Bro!"

Seunghyun greets him for the 48th time that day. Holding his camera phone to Seungri's face while recording it.

"Thank you, Hyung."

Seungri smiles at the camera.

"What do you want for your ramen?"

"Jiyong knows what I want. Where's the restroom?"

Seungri points to the restroom and Seunghyun takes his leave.

"I already told the waiter our orders."

Jiyong answers while typing on his phone.

"Oh. Alright."

Seungri sits beside him.

 

When Seunghyun goes back to their table, the members are all complete, even Hyorin is there.

"Happy birthday, Bro!"

Seunghyun kisses Seungri on the cheek and hugs him tightly.

"I get it, Hyung. Enough already."

Seunghyun finally lets go of him and ruffles his hair.

 

When their food arrived everyone starts to dig in except for Seunghyun.

"Maknae, you should cook the noodles separately from the soup. That way, the noodles won't easily soften or sag."

"Why don't you try it first before you nag?"

"I don't like eating soggy noodles."

"It sagged because you've been nagging for so long instead of eating."

At this point, Jiyong glares at Seunghyun.

"Eat it."

"But, Babe. You know I don't like soggy noodles."

Seunghyun whines.

"And whose fault that they're all soggy now?"

"But I'm full already."

"You said that you would eat it. Every single noodle. Remember?"

"But I'll have a stomachache if I force myself to eat."

Seunghyun pouts and pulls out a puppy dog face the second time that day. Jiyong sighs deeply.

"You are never eating ice cream before dinner. Ever again. Understood?"

"Okay."

Seunghyun pouts at that. Then Jiyong turns to Seungri.

"I'm sorry, Maknae. There's nothing wrong with your ramen. Hyung just spoiled his dinner. He ate before coming here. I'm sorry, I wasn't able to stop him."

"It's okay, Hyung. I understand."

"Happy birthday, Bro!"

Seunghyun starts again.

"STOP IT!!!"

Everyone at the table yells.
