Seungcheol sat alone in his office, lost in thought as he stared at the ceiling, tapping a pen absentmindedly against his desk.

He was determined to give Jeonghan a quiet, unforgettable birthday, one that wouldn't overwhelm him but would replace his painful memories with something warm and comforting.

After his honest and vulnerable conversation with Jeonghan, Seungcheol was even more set on making this day something special.

Jeonghan had put so much trust in him by sharing the painful story behind his birthday aversion, and Seungcheol wanted to make sure he didn't take that trust lightly.

He wanted to get every detail right.

But there was just one problem, he didn't really know Jeonghan's absolute favorite dishes.

Sure, he'd seen him enjoy certain foods in passing at company dinners and during quick lunches with the team, but he didn't want to base everything on assumptions.

No, this needed to be spot-on. So he did what any reasonable man would do in his situation; he called in reinforcements.

A few minutes later, Joshua, Jihoon, Jun, and Seungkwan, filed into his office, each of them casting curious glances in his direction.

Joshua was the first to break the silence.

"So, what's this about?"

He asked, his voice filled with amusement.

"Calling us into your office all mysteriously?"

Seungcheol fought back a smile, trying to look serious.

"Take a seat,"

He said, gesturing to the chairs in front of his desk.

The four of them exchanged puzzled looks but complied, settling down and leaning forward with curiosity.

Jihoon raised an eyebrow.

"You look suspiciously serious, sir. What's going on?"

Seungcheol leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms and letting a moment of silence linger to build suspense.

"I need your help."

He finally announced, as if revealing a top-secret mission.

Jun laughed, shaking his head.

"With what, exactly?"

A small smile played on Seungcheol's lips as he responded.

"I need to know Jeonghan's favorite foods."

Seungkwan smirked immediately, his eyes lighting up with a playful glint.

"Oh, is this for a special dinner? Are we pulling out all the stops to impress him?"
