They've arrived at their destination - Chan's - and Seungkwan is slumped over Vernon. Chan simply rests his head on his boyfriend's shoulder, Jun plays with the rings on his boyfriend's fingers, Soonyoung tries as best he can to take Jihoon in his arms, Wonwoo places a few tender kisses in his boyfriend's hair, Seokmin simply watches his girlfriend fall asleep under his caresses and Jeonghan tenderly strokes his boyfriend's back...

" Han' "

" Hmm ? "

" You're going to end up undressing Shua here."

" Ah, shit.."

Indeed, the more his hands go up, the more his boyfriend's T-shirt goes up too, the young man stops his caresses and they all yawn at the same time...

" We're getting old..." Soonyoung says

" It's hardly midnight yet." says Seokmin

" Lemonade makes you tired." Said Hansol looking at his glass

" So are the emotions of this day." Says Wonwoo

The boys nod in agreement. Seungcheol now has his hand in his boyfriend's hair, plays gently with it and Chan eventually falls asleep.

" I think all the bottoms have joined the arms of morpheus.... "

" And we're all going..."

Seungcheol rises delicately and discreetly so as not to wake his lover, and places his hands under Chan's thighs to carry him in princess mode, directing him towards the bedroom...

Once in the room, he places the young man on his bed and starts to remove his clothes, Chan now sleeping in the older man's loose-fitting clothes...

The older man slips on his clothes and puts on a shirt and tee-shirt that were lying around, leaves to brush his teeth and returns to the bedroom, where he lies down on the mattress beside his lover, runs his hand through his little friend's hair again, gently places his lips on the sleeping man's forehead and pulls his lips down tenderly, traces his little friend's jaw and ends up placing his rosy lips on Chan's fine ones...

He unties himself and takes him in his arms, caresses his back and cradles his head in his beloved's neck, placing a chaste kiss on his neck...

" I love you my Channie-ya, sleep well."

He looks at the rings on his finger and rests his gaze on the family ring his father gave him, he had told him

" This ring is passed down from father to son, but I think the line will end there, just give it to the person who makes your little heart beat."

He smiles as he thinks about it, takes off his ring and puts it around Chan's finger, it fits perfectly...

" Just the right size."

He leaves his ring on Chan's finger and kisses him gently, resting his head in his boyfriend's neck and finally falling asleep.

Chan, who was supposed to be asleep, wakes up in the middle of the sleight-of-hand with his boyfriend's ring, looks at it and smiles, a solitary tear rolling down his cheek, his gaze rests on his bedside table where the photo of his mother rests...

" Mom, did you see ? Your son's getting married soon, you'd never have believed it, wouldn't you, and neither would I, after all..."

He pauses for a moment to simply smile and return his gaze to his boyfriend, the roles reversed now, it's Chan who strokes Seungcheol's hair...

" You say you love me Cheollie-ya hyung, but do you have any idea how much I love you..."

He looks back at the photo of his mother.

" You see, Mom, I love you, because you're my mother, you raised me and loved me with all your heart, I know, because on my side it's the same, but life is cruel, it killed you with cancer, you were the perfect mom and I'll love you all my life..."

He returns his gaze to his boyfriend and places a chaste kiss in his hair, then continues his monologue.

" But now my love is shared, for my boyfriend too, and I believe for my friends too, I love you all."

And he falls asleep peacefully at the end of his sentence, in the warm, comforting arms of his lover.

Legend has it that next time, a proposal is in the works.
