"Babe?"
You called out to him in curiosity, hearing his soft footsteps pad across the vinyl floor. He peaked around the corner of the hallway, slowly coming out from your shared bedroom and into the living room with you. You watched as he waddled all the way to the couch where you rested.
Without saying anything, he moved so he was laying on you partially. His arms pushed his head above your own, leaning down to give you a cute kiss on the nose. Then, he relaxed against your chest and snuggled his head into your neck.
He was very cuddly on this cold day. You couldn't really complain, as cuddles with hoodies and sweatpants were your absolute favorite. When it was snowing harshly and covering up the roads, you had no choice but to hold one another close and watch whatever show was playing.
You wrapped around arms around his back, legs around his, squeezing him tight. "My wittle baby!" You teased, kissing the side of his head before loosening your grip.
You could feel Wonhyuk's smile against your neck. "I'll be whatever you want, as long as I can stay in your warmth."
You laughed, turning your head to the opposite side so you could continue to watch your show. Eventually, his breathing evened out and he began to drift into a sweet sleep. The sound of his steady heartbeat was beginning to lull you into a nice nap as well.
Attempting to avoid sleeping, as a nap would spoil your sleep schedule, you picked up your phone to scroll through. It was becoming harder as you looked for something to distract you, his comforting weight almost like a little security blanket. As your eyes began to flutter, a knock came to the front door.
This startled Wonhyuk into waking. He moved from his position, forcing you to also begin to stretch and pick up from the couch. He rubbed at his eyes and looked at you, wondering why intruded his peaceful nap.
The knock came again, this time louder. You had to acknowledge it now, and Wonhyuk had no problem showing his disliking. He pouted heavily and sat up, allowing you to leave the couch to answer the door.
"Whoever it is, tell them to go away!" He calls out to you as you leave for the door.
You scoff, shaking your head in agreement. "You're telling me. I don't remember inviting anyone."
And although your statement was true, the guests on the other side never needed an invitation. For his group members came whenever, never announcing ahead of time, hoping you were so gracious enough to accommodate them. Typically.
You let them into your home, watching carefully as all seven members filed in with their hands full. Some had snacks, some carried cartons of different drinks, while others carried games or blankets. Your mouth was agape, mortified at the amount of things being dragged into your home with no warning. It was normal, but still unsettling.
"What is happening right now?" You voiced after closing the door.
The members began to unload their belongings in the living room. Wonhyuk also stared in surprise as they began to pile the blankets and pillows like a giant sleeping area. They even moved the coffee table for more leg room.
"You are inviting yourself into my home, and you won't tell us why?" Wonhyuk asks, rubbing his eyes again in disbelief. "Can someone please tell me why you are making yourselves at home?"
Rano smiled. "It's our game night! Remember? Tradition?"
Right. Tradition.
Except the tradition was typically held at the dorm area. It had been officially a year now since Wonhyuk moved in with you, and the tradition had been forgotten. At least, you assumed so, as not prior plans had been made.
"But why at my home?" You asked, sitting cross-legged on the couch, leaning your shoulder against Wonhyuk for comfort.
Wonjun patted at his pillow, laying down with a sigh. "The tradition must go on! So we thought it would be best to bring it to you guys."
Romin gestured to the snacks. "We were going to ask, but our dorms got snowed in while we were away. So we figured we'll bring all our camping things inside for the game night."
Wonhyuk seemed to lighten up a little, although slightly disappointed his sleep was disturbed. "Who's idea was this? I can take a wild guess."
The pointed look towards Wonjun didn't go unnoticed. He laughed guiltily. "I may have suggested it." The sheepish scratch at his cheek practically giving him away.
You sighed. "Well, I guess there's no point dwelling now. You are all inside and it's snowing pretty hard." You began to stand up and head to the kitchen. "All snacks will be left in here please. I'll get us some plates."
Although it was a surprise to have them visit, it wasn't totally out of the norm to have them show up at random. Especially after the first month of your move, the boys were over quite often. It has started to become a habit to host them, to where they began to learn your shared rules of the home. Eventually, they no longer needed to be reminded what to do. The members just knew.
You were glad they were there though. He didn't mention it, but you could tell days where Wonhyuk was away from them, he tended to worry. You both had a few days to yourselves during the snow storm, so having a little extra company never hurt.
