Hongjoong was stunned.

While Wooyoung had been showering, an incredibly teary Yeosang had burst into their room and directly into his arms, claiming that "Young-ah finally decided to leave," and when he'd eventually managed to decode what that meant, he was shocked.

Apart from the obvious hurt, seeing the devastation in Yeosang's eyes, there were strange emotions welling inside himself, too, and even after they'd heard the shower shut off and Yeosang had escaped away to pretend he was totally fine, as he'd sat on his bed and stared at without seeing their cabinet, he realised...

Wooyoung was no longer a child. He'd not been a child for a very long time, but dealing with his mental strains, it made it easy to pretend that he was the boy he'd grown out of. Wooyoung was a man and an adult who had made the very adult choice, of wanting to live with his partner, and they should have been happy for him.

Of course, they were, too.

However the piece of himself that inside, saw those two blondes as the two he had grown up protecting... A family that was not his blood, but that he was still so fond of...

It was the nostalgia, he thought, that made them sad. Nostalgic for the years that had been and gone as fast as they'd come.

It didn't matter that they knew it wasn't the end. They'd see one another as often as they did nowadays. But even still, his heart hurt. Especially listening to the way Yeosang's voice sounded as he spoke to his brother, trying so hard to hold himself together, when he was so clearly falling apart...

'Joong.'

Seonghwa's voice cut into his consciousness, and glancing across the bed, he saw his husband sitting down, offering him a gentle look.

'You should sleep with them tonight,' Seonghwa said, voice gentle. 'You need it.'

Swallowing, he shook his head. 'I'm okay,' he said, taking a deep breath. And he was sure it was true.

'But they're not,' Seonghwa said quietly, and with it, he saw Yeosang sobbing quietly on their bed in his arms, falling apart right before him...

'Joong... Family comes first, remember?'

His heart throbbed, and leaning across, he gently nudged his nose against his, before capturing his lips in a soft kiss.

'Go. It's okay~' Seonghwa said gently against him, reaching up and gently trailing his thumb pad down the shell of his ear, before trailing it over his cheek. 'I love you baby.'

His heart throbbed, and with it, he kissed him once more to settle his pained heart, before nodding, standing, walking to their daughter's cot to kiss her goodnight.
