Letting You Go

“Noona! That was really really really delicious! I’m so full now.” Taemin said as he leaned back in his chair and rubbed his tummy.

"I must agree with Taemin. That was the extremely delicious, noona.” Minho added.

“Yes! That was the best meal ever!” Jonghyun exclaimed. “Right, hyung?” He turned to Jinki.

“Mmm.. Myeshhh.” Jinki mumbled with food in his mouth, nodded and gave you a thumbs up.

You smiled. “Thanks. I’m glad all of you like my cooking.” You looked at Kibum and he mouthed a “told you so” at you and gave you a thumbs up as well.

“Do you all have space for dessert? Or are all of you too full to eat?” You asked when Jinki had finally finished his last round of food.

Taemin shook his head and was the first to speak up. “You can never be too full for desserts!” The others just nodded in agreement, well except for Kibum, who had a conflicted look on his face.

You cleared their dinner plates and went into the kitchen to prepare the dessert. You had spooned the chocolate mousse into little glasses earlier before you chilled them so you took them out of the refrigerator and sliced up some fresh strawberries. You sprayed some whipped cream on the top of the mousse before placing a few strawberry slices on top of it.

You brought the dessert out to everyone and was about to sit down to eat it when Minhyuk started crying. You saw Kibum about to stand up so you called out to him and told him to sit and that you would go instead. It turned out that Minhyuk needed a diaper change so you carried him back into your bedroom to get him cleaned up and into new diapers.

You came out of the room to see that the dinner table was empty now, except for Kibum who patted your chair when he saw you.

“Where did everyone go?” You asked while sitting down and placing Minhyuk on your lap.

“They are on wash duty today.” He stated simply and you couldn’t help but chuckle.

“They are supposed to be guests, cupcake!” You protested weakly.

“You shouldn’t spoil them too much and if it makes you feel any better, think of them as uninvited guests.” He whispered the “uninvited” and laughed.

You shook your head with a smile and reached out for your dessert but Kibum was faster. He took a spoonful of the mousse and held it in front of you. You tried to take the spoon away from him be he pulled back and shook his head. He brought the spoon towards you again and opened his mouth. “Ahh…”

You felt a blush creeping up your face and quickly ate the mousse before bowing your head to hide your face. You played with Minhyuk’s hands and he got happy and started bouncing cutely in your lap. With Minhyuk as a distraction, you managed to finish the dessert without any other issues.

All of you were now sitting, in a circle, on the floor of the living room. You handed out the presents one by one as they watched you excitedly. They wasted no time in ripping apart the wrapping of their presents once you were done handing out their presents to them. You were a little surprised that even Kibum tore the wrapping. He struck you as someone who would carefully peel off the tape before removing the wrapping. You got Jinki a jacket that you thought he would look really cool in, Jonghyun two new tees, Kibum a pair of sunglasses that he had been eyeing at the mall, Minho a new backpack and Taemin a new pair of shoes since he had once said that his shoes were ill-fitting because he couldn’t find shoes that had a size small enough for him.   

Taemin’s present took the longest to find but the seeing the smile on his face when he tried on the shoes and realized that they fit him perfectly, made it well worth the trouble. Everyone else also began trying on their presents after seeing Taemin wearing and admiring his new shoes. Jonghyun even wanted to take off his shirt in the living room before Key stopped him and made him go to the bathroom to change. Thankfully, everyone’s presents seemed to fit well enough and they seemed genuinely happy with their gifts.

The next thing you knew Taemin had launched himself at you and pulled you into a really tight hug, causing you to fall back onto the floor with a soft plop. “Thank you, noona! Noona is the best!!”

You were momentarily stunned by the suddenness of the hug but relaxed after you realized what had happened. You patted Taemin’s back slightly awkwardly, since you were currently pinned to the floor.

“You’re welcome, Taeminnie. I wish I could have gotten you all better gifts though.” You said when Minho came over and plucked Taemin off you and Key helped you up.

“Aniyo! I love my present! The hyungs like theirs too, right??” Taemin asked.

“Yes! We all do!” Key reaffirmed. “Our present to you will only be revealed tomorrow though. So you will have to wait until tomorrow for it!”

“Any hints as to what it is?” You asked.

Taemin and Jonghyun opened their mouths and were about to say something but Minho and Key’s hands were immediately cupped over their respective mouths. You looked to Jinki since he was the only remaining option but a glare from Kibum immediately silenced him and he shook his head.

“Aww.. cupcake! That’s not fair!” You protested.

“Hmm, the only clue that I’ll give you is that tomorrow, we’ll all be going out!” Kibum said smugly. “Speaking of which, it’s time for bed! We’ll all have to be out of the house early.” He stated and started to shoo everyone, except Taemin and Minho, out of the living room.

I can't believe it ended already. It seems like a few days since I first read this fic, but in reality it has been a year. I also can't believe that I waited for your updates all through out my last year of high school. I've been a ghost reader then a nice one who leaves flattering comments then a ghost reader again. Do you still remember me? Haha. It's okay if you don't, considering the many other not-so-silent readers/subscribers you have. Anyway, I don't have much to say about the final chapter, other than it's still the same ol' awesome writing style, so I want to take this opportunity to thank you. :) for being a selfless author and not abandoning this lovely fic. Now I'm not gonna ask you for a sequel, because I don't to sound so whiny and stuff, and also I think equels ruin a piece of work. :) that's all.
