"Do you catch your breath when I look at you? Are you holding back like the way I do?"

When hyunjin arrived back home, he was met with the two loves of his life lying there together cuddled up.

Hyunjins heart was aching. He walked closer and patted their heads.

Jeongins eyes fluttered open looking at hyunjin. He saw his eyes red and puffy so he understood everything right away.

Hyunjin kneeled next to the couch and cried.

Jeongin just reached for his head and patted it. He wasnt having high expectations, that's why he wasn't surprised.

"I dont want you to feel left out... you mean so much more to us than what we can show you..." this felt to hyunjin like leaving jeongin behind. Like he wasn't important the same way as him and seungmin.

"I know hyung... I know that you two love me the same. But bond is a bond. We can do nothing with that." Jeongin said quietly.

"Its not fair..." hyunjin said when jeongins hand cupped his cheek.

Hyunjin leaned into the touch comfortably.

"Life's not fair... sadly... maybe in another life we can be together. All three of us! For now... its not good for me to stay this close to you or seungmin... it would hurt me and both of you as well..." jeongin said breaking the eye contact.

Hyunjin was completely devastated. But he understood what jeongin ment. The closer he would stay, the harder it would be for them all to move on with their feelings.

"Tomorow I'll leave. I'm already packed." He said.

Hyunjin didn't say anything. He was just sadly looking at sleeping seungmin in jeongins arms.

He looked so comfortable, but tired from all of this.

"We're all gonna move on. Don't worry jinnie." Jeongin said.

"Hannie~ you know what day it is?" Minho said all cheered up.

Jisung groaned sleepily. "What day..."

"Its your 24th birthday!" Minho said putting a plate with food on the nightstand.

"Really? I'm so old~" jisung whined shifting under the sheets.

"Old-? I'm two years older than you..." minho said taken back.

"You are two years older than me?!" Jisung said surprised.

"You didnt know?" Minho sat beside him on the bed.

Jisung peeked from under the sheets confused. "Of course I didn't know, you never told me." Jisung sat up.

"I tought you were like year older..."

"You're actual making me feel old." Minho whined.

Jisung smirked "You're not hyung~ You look good. For your age-"

Minho attacked him tickling his body making him laugh unstoppably.

"H-hyung... stop... you're ti-tickling me~" he said throughout the laughing.

"Take it back. Take back what you said and I'll stop." Minho said smiling sheepishly.

"N-never." Jisung said still being tickled.

With his whole strength, jisung got up and kissed minhos soft lips making him stop by a surprise.

The kiss wasn't provocative. It was sweet loving kiss full of happiness.
