"We can't get married-", Hongjoong exclaimed, trying to hide his fingers.

Seonghwa laughed as he shook his head, "I'm not proposing to you for marriage...yet."

"Then what are those??", Hongjoong asked, pointing as the box.

Seonghwa slowly grabbed Hongjoong's hand, "Look, this country probably doesn't support same-sex marriage and I don't really care as long as you're here. These are promise rings, I want you to wear this with me."

"Is this why you didn't want me to wear a ring earlier?", Hongjoong had that 'really bitch? face' which made Seonghwa chuckle.

"I don't want you to wear any ring except this, even just for tonight.", Seonghwa proudly smiled as he played with the tiny fingers.

"So which one is mine?", a faint smile appearing on Hongjoong's lips as he saw the beauty of those simple rings.

"You know how people say you are the sun and I am your moon? So I want you to be my sun and I will be your moon.", Seonghwa said as he took the ring with an engraved sun, sliding it into Hongjoong's finger which fits perfectly.

"Its just the right fit." Hongjoong murmured in amaze as he stared at it.

"I read somewhere that, 'The sun and the moon love each other because they give each other space to shine. Yet the moon will always need the sun more. Without him he will have no light.' I want to be your moon, because you made me light up at the time I never realized.", Seonghwa caressed Hongjoong's cheeks, the cold air not bothering them as a warm atmosphere envelopes around.

Hongjoong took the ring with an engraved moon and slid it in Seonghwa's finger, "I'm not always bright, I sometimes get consumed by this negative energy, making me feel empty. But I am happy that I became the sun and that I get to help you shine. And I am thankful that the light I gave you, shines the brightest in my darkest hours."

Seonghwa pulled Hongjoong into a warm and loving embrace, kissing his forehead as they stayed in each other's arms.

"I will forever cherish you in my life. Even if the universe separates the sun and the moon, they still need each other to give light to the world. You will always be part of me and I will always be a part of you.", Seonghwa utters as the two of them holds on to each other tight, letting a calming silence surround them as the night moves along.

- the next day -

"What is that smell?!", Wooyoung shouts, running towards the source of the aroma.

"I made breakfast! We have french toast, waffles, sausages and ham.". Seonghwa listed as he took out some more waffles.

"They all look good! What time did you wake up to make this?", Yunho chuckled as he throws his arm around Wooyoung's shoulder.

"Hongjoong helped me make it, I had to wake him up.", Seonghwa replied as he pointed towards a person in a fetus position lying on the couch.

Wooyoung ran towards Hongjoong, leaving Yunho and Seonghwa by the kitchen. "So how did it go? What time did you guys come back?"

"It was great, we probably came back late cause all the lights were off when we opened the door.", Seonghwa said as the two walked towards the dining room with the food.

"Good morning!", the rest of the members greeted as they arrived. They soon finished their breakfast and did their own things.

"Its almost December, I hate the weather.", San complained as he snuggled up in the couch.

"I wonder how it is in Seoul? Its probably not as cold as here.", Mingi shrugged as he chose a movie that they were planning to watch.

"Well we are in the northern part so we would feel winter first.", Jongho said, scrolling through his phone while waiting for the movie to start.

"Where are the others by the way?", asked Wooyoung as he sat in the middle row.

"They're probably watching Hospital Playlist in the bedroom.", Hongjoong said, keeping himself comfortable as 'Spiderman: Far From Home' started playing.

"Ah hyung, did manager kim say we have to go back the day before atiny day or we can just go back earlier?", San asked, glancing at Hongjoong all cozy on his seat.

"Well we could go back earlier if you want, we just have to inform him in case he plans to pick us up.", Hongjoong shrugged.

- after a few days -

"Are you all packed up? I already informed manager kim that we will be driving ourselves back to the dorms.", Hongjoong asked as he glanced at all the members fixing their stuff at the living room.

"I already checked the rooms, all empty. I hope you all checked the wardrobe cause I left it.", Seonghwa asked, earning 'yes' from the younger members.

"Okay, there will be four in each car. You can go your own route going back, just make sure to not arrive late.", Hongjoong explained before letting everyone out of the house, he was the last one so he had to lock the door and the gate.

As soon as everyone got in their cars, it divided into two groups - Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho and Mingi then San, Wooyoung, Yeosang and Jongho. After driving off, the two cars separated at some point. It was almost dinner time so they decided to eat somewhere near Seoul.

"Are you okay with this restaurant?", Yunho asked as he parked the car, turning off the engine.

"Yeah that's fine, there's probably no other restaurants ahead.", Hongjoong said as they opened the door, stepping out of the car. Just then his phone started to ring, seeing his mom's name.

"Hey, we'll go in first. You can just follow once you're done. Don't stay out too long.", Seonghwa said as they walked towards the entrance.

- after a few minutes -

Hongjoong enters the restaurant and finds the table where the boys were sitting. He sat down with an unrecognizable look on his face.

"Hyung, what's the matter?", Mingi said, looking up from his phone.

"My mom called and invited me for a late celebration of my birthday.", Hongjoong said, removing his mask.

"So? There's nothing wrong with that right?", Yunho asked.

"My family knows I'm into boys and lets just say, they don't handle it well..especially my cousins.", Hongjoong sighed, frustrated.

"You don't have to go if you're uncomfortable.", Mingi assured.

"I know but I haven't met them since my grandma passed away and I don't want to make it awkward.", Hongjoong replied as he watched the food be put down on the table.

"I can go with you if that's fine.", Seonghwa smiled as he looked at the person beside him.
