"guys, hongjoong and seonghwa are sleeping now, so we gotta be quiet" whispered yunho as the rest of the group were in his and san's room
jongho giggled, covering his mouth. "and listen to them making- "
"shush, jjong!" the oldest out of them hit his arm, "no one's making a baby. it's about our anniversary"
"are we all in a relationship?"
"i swear to god, mingi, if you're asking another dumb question i'm gonna push you inside the captain and his wife's room" yeosang attempted to contain his laughter on yunho's little threat
yunho closed his eyes, taking deep breath. "okay, listen. it's our third anniversary as ateez in about... 20 minutes" yunho looked at each one of them
yunho; ½ of the owner of the room sat on his own bed while the other five sat down on the mat that he laid on the floor, looking up at him like those grandchildren listening to their grandpa's stories
"i told the manager to get us a 2 pounds cake earlier so now it's in the fridge" the oldest pointed to the door; telling it was outside in the kitchen
san raised his hand like a toddler in kindergarten wanting to ask a question. "is it the one i wanted days ago? or is it the lame chocolate cake?"
"dummy, let's just see the cake together later. i'm sure it's a five-star cake since it's yunho who bought it. who knows he bought it with his black card" wooyoung laughed before hitting san's head, leading to both bickering
jongho shook his head, scooting himself closer to mingi who was beside him. "thank god, i'm not as childish as them"
"you're right" yeosang clapped his hands in tiny as he leaned back from laughing to hard
meanwhile the other two in their room were calmly talking to each other from the bunk bed.
"you think the kids are asleep?" hongjoong asked, from the upper bunk before peeking his head out to see if the other male was fast asleep or not. "ey, you listening?"
"yeah, i am. and no, i don't think they are asleep now. probably in one of their rooms having a sleepover or they called it- 99z ft. baby's night or the other one- no boomer night"
hongjoong chuckled at what seonghwa stated, "i assume the last one was titled by yeosang and maybe with woo" he sighed after, smiling at the ceiling as he laid on his back again
"whoever made it, it doesn't matter. what matters is that here" seonghwa said, going to a little table not far by their bunk bed and lifted up a scarf, reveling a brown paper box which hongjoong confirmed was a cake. "i kind of sneaked out of myself- i know it's not safe going out without a manager- but i really wanted to get this one for those devils"
both went silence and looked at the clock. 23 59. turning their heads to each other, both nodded and got ready by the door
00 00, october 24
"ha- "
"happy- "
both sides voices faltered when they nearly ran into each other with the cakes in their- yunho and seonghwa's- hands
minutes before 00 00;
the 99z and jongho tiptoes their way to the kitchen to prepare the cake while hongjoong and seonghwa was still talking about them, then the 'devils' were waiting infront of the two oldest's room
back to present, jongho walked up near yunho and slid his finger on the frosting by the side of the cake and extended his arm to spread the frosting on hongjoong's cheek
every single one of them was blank. not even realizing jongho did that until he came back and did the same to seonghwa
"happy 3rd anniversary to us...?"
that's the last sentence ever said before a war started. seonghwa passing the cake to hongjoong's hands and ran away to chase their youngest devil. yeosang taking the cake from yunho and followed the two ahead
--
"you three should clean your faces before eating. look at how messy the cakes are. and your faces too" hongjoong ordered them as he gave them a plate with a slice of each cake in it
"seonghwa looks like a beginner who wanted to try his first ever recipe of cookies" wooyoung twirled the older's hair as he said it
"and jongho is like someone who got the whole cake been thrown to his face" everyone laughed so hard at yunho's comment that they fall making the cake nearly fall on their faces
the eight males ate and talked about their upcoming schedules, not aware of the time. the moment they stood up and finished, mingi noticed
he looked at them slowly, "guys... the time..."
"oh, it's two? let's head back to bed, kids" seonghwa patted their heads and pushed them back the their assigned rooms. "go to sleep you babies. i'll wake you up when it's time"
before seonghwa could leave wooyoung stopped him. "seonghwa, i know you called us the devils but can we at least get a goodnight kiss on the forehead or cheek?" the younger asked with those sparks in his eyes, making seonghwa smile at him.
"of course. sleep well my wooyoungie" seonghwa pecked his his forehead and patted wooyoung's head once again before walking away to the other two of wooyoung's roommates
"happy third anniversary to us, kids" the same thing seonghwa said before going out of their rooms
and when he went back to his and hongjoong's room, he spotted the leader was already comfortable under the covers and his eyes closed. hongjoong then opened his eyes and turned his head to the older
"well, go to sleep. we got big day later" the leader said and sighed, back to his sleeping position. "and switch the light off, thank you"
seonghwa did as asked, walking to their bed after. "could you please just get up for a while? wooyoung told me to do this to everyone"
when hongjoong was in a sitting down posture, seonghwa signalled to lower his head and left a kiss on his forehead
"happy third anniversary to us"
then both went to sleep
kkeut!!
happy 3rd anniv to ateez!! <33
