A/N: Happy birthday Kibum ;-;

“So it’s done, huh?”

Kibum found it hard to meet his hyungs’ eyes, but nodded nonetheless. He heard eight identical sighs.

“At least you’re free?” tried Leeteuk. The other members snorted and he tried hard to retract that statement.

“What I meant was…”

“We know what you meant hyung,” Kibum laughed. “It’s okay. It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Before Leeteuk could reply, Ryeowook burst into the room with cake, loudly singing happy birthday. The members joined in and Kibum laughed again.

They made a whole show of shoving his face into the cake and strangle-hugging him. Kibum bore it all with good grace, but not before secretly putting cake on Heechul’s hair.

“I’m going to miss you guys.”

“Yah!” Kangin growled. “We’re not dead. You can come see us any time you want.”

Kibum smiled ruefully at them. He loved them all, but their paths were meant to be different. He wasn’t a part of SM but he would always be a part of Super Junior.
