"Let's go."
Three of them stood there, watching Jake play with the kids.
"Isn't he the youngest of the Shim's?" Sunghoon asked.
"He is." Jay nodded, "But he is just like this. Carefree, weird and a little bit crazy with the biggest heart."
"He is weirdly lovable." Sunghoon smiled.
"Get in line." Heeseung looked at him.
"For?"
"Loving him?"
"Huh?"
"We all love him. So, get in line."
"Ohhh." Sunghoon chuckled.
Jake stood infront of three of them with a michievous smile.
"What are you thinking, pup?" Jay stepped back.
"Nothing." Jake shook his head.
"Then there is definitely something." Heeseung also stepped back while Sunghoon just stays there smiling, looking at him.
"Have you guys taken shower?" Jake asked.
"...Not yet." Jay shook his head.
"Then let's shower together." With that Jake pointed the water pipe towards them which exuded water.
"YAHHH JAKEEEE!!!!!" Jay yelled as they run away but Jake just follows them with the happiest giggle.
"I am just helping you guys to shower. Why are you running away?" Jake said following them, drenching all three of them.
"Then it's your turn now." Sunghoon said, going straight to Jake followed by other two as Jake runs away throwing the pipe.
Sunghoon catched Jake soon and held him by the waist while Jay pointed the pipe towards him.
"I am sorry. Ahhhhhhh~ Sorry~~~" Jake giggled as the three of them attacks him.
"It's not fair~~~ Three vs one~~~" Jake whined, getting wet from top to bottom.
"You started it." Sunghoon laughed, loosening his hold.
"But still three vs one is unfair." Jake turned towards him, with a little glare, trying his best to looks scary.
"Aigoooo, so scary~~~" Sunghoon chuckled as Jake glares even harder.
"And you two, I'll get back at you." Jake glared at them too, who just smiles at his supposed to be scary face.
"Yeah~ Yeah~ so scary." Jay smiled.
"Now give me clothes. I am cold." Jake whined as Sunghoon hugged him from behind.
"So adorable." Sunghoon chuckled as he kisses Jake temple.
"Yeahh, so cute." Heeseung stepped forward and Kisses Jake's temple.
"Our scaryy baby." Jay kisses his forehead.
"Just give me clothes." Jake pouts before waking away.

That's how they spend their rest of 2023s winter and start of summer.
Sometimes going on dates, sometimes playing with kids or sometimes just playing with each other. And during that time, Sunghoon became close friends with Heeseung and Jay. He even frequently visited the home after his business meetings, bringing lots of treats for the kids.
And whenever Sunghoon visited, Jake would welcome him with his open arms and lots of kisses. They would go to grocery shopping, or would just take a walk around the neighbourhood.
And Sunghoon would propose him every chance he gets and Jake would just give a small smile neither accepting nor rejecting.
"Marry me, baby." Sunghoon would propose anytime.
"Just pick up the meat you want." Jake would just smile , looking at him.
But Sunghoon was okay without any answer because he knew and he was confident, Jake would accept him someday.
