Beomgyu had always dreamed of having a child, but fear held him back. He was terrified that if he confessed his desire to Yeonjun, he might scare him away. Today, with his café closed, Beomgyu decided it was finally time to visit Yeonjun. He dressed carefully, trying to quell his nervousness, and packed some food along with a note that read, Can we have kids, Yeonjun?
After a deep breath, he headed to Yeonjun's company, his heart racing with anticipation.

At the Company
Upon arrival, Beomgyu was greeted by Yeonjun’s assistant, who led him to Yeonjun’s office. Beomgyu knocked gently on the door.
“Yeonjun, it’s me, Beomgyu!” he called out, his voice slightly trembling.
“Come in!” Yeonjun replied, his voice warm and inviting.
Beomgyu opened the door and stepped inside, his smile wide. “I got food for you! Eat up, and there’s something else in the bag too.”
Yeonjun raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued. “What’s in the bag?”
Beomgyu placed the food on the desk and watched as Yeonjun rummaged through it. He pulled out the note, his brow furrowing in confusion. “What’s this, Gyu?”
Beomgyu’s heart raced as he heard Yeonjun read the note aloud. “Can we have kids?”
“Kids? Gyu?” Yeonjun’s expression shifted to one of surprise, and Beomgyu felt his stomach flip.
“Yes,” Beomgyu said, taking a deep breath. “I’ve always dreamed about it. I just… I’m scared you’d leave me if I brought it up.”
Yeonjun studied Beomgyu for a moment, his expression softening. “Why would I leave you for wanting something beautiful? Of course, we can talk about it. I’d love to be a dad one day.”
Beomgyu blinked in disbelief. “Wait, you want to try it?”
“Yeah,” Yeonjun said, a smile creeping across his face. “Why not? We can figure it out together.”
Unable to contain his happiness, Beomgyu rushed forward and hugged Yeonjun tightly. “Thank you, Yeonjun! You’re the best!”
Yeonjun chuckled, returning the embrace. “So, do you want to stay here, or should I have my driver drop you off at Soobin’s? Oh, and Huening Kai is there too.”
“Call your driver and let him know I’m at the gate,” Beomgyu said, still glowing from Yeonjun’s acceptance.
“Okay, I’ll pick you up when I’m done,” Yeonjun promised, releasing Beomgyu from the hug.

At Soobin’s and Huening Kai’s Place
A short while later, Beomgyu knocked on Soobin and Huening Kai’s door. Huening Kai opened it, his face lighting up with surprise. “Gyu! Come in! Soobin isn’t here right now; I told him to get something from the store. Are you with Yeonjun?”
Beomgyu shook his head, his heart still racing from his earlier conversation. “No, Yeonjun will pick me up later. I just wanted to visit.”
“Well, you can sit on the couch while I make you something to eat,” Huening Kai said, leading Beomgyu inside.
As Beomgyu settled on the couch, he felt a wave of warmth wash over him. Just then, Soobin entered with bags in hand. “Huening! I’m home! I got your ice cream! And please don’t hit—”
He froze as he caught sight of Huening Kai’s glare. Realizing what had happened, Soobin quickly adjusted his tone. “Oh my GYU! You’re here! Why didn’t you text me?”
“I just wanted to visit because Yeonjun has a lot of work, and I was home alone,” Beomgyu replied, a playful smile on his face.
Soobin nodded, chuckling. “Well, I got the day off because my back hurts from carrying these bags. Huening hit me because I ate his ice cream.”
“You deserved it, Soobin,” Beomgyu teased, grinning.
Huening Kai crossed his arms, a smug smile on his face. “Right? He ate my ice cream without even asking! I told him to stay away from it.”
Soobin rolled his eyes. “Now you guys are bullying me! It’s not my fault Huening is so possessive!”
Beomgyu laughed. “Well, I’d hit Yeonjun if he ate my ice cream too.”
Soobin shook his head, pretending to be serious. “Well, no wonder you both are so fat!”
Beomgyu and Huening Kai exchanged incredulous glances, and then both shot him a death glare.
“Hey!” Huening Kai exclaimed. “I work hard for my body!”
Soobin stuttered, “I didn’t mean it! I promise! I just… uh… meant you both look healthy!”
Beomgyu couldn’t help but laugh, the tension in the room lifting as the playful banter continued. “Okay, okay. I get it. Just don’t eat my food, and we’ll be fine.”
Huening Kai nodded, taking a seat beside Beomgyu. “What’s up with you two, though? You look a little too happy today. Did something happen?”
Beomgyu glanced at Huening Kai, a blush creeping across his cheeks. “Uh, I just had a good conversation with Yeonjun.”
Soobin raised an eyebrow, looking between the two of them. “A good conversation? About what?”
Beomgyu hesitated but decided to share. “I asked Yeonjun if we could have kids one day.”
Huening Kai’s eyes widened. “You did what?”
Soobin looked genuinely surprised. “And? What did he say?”
Beomgyu smiled widely. “He said yes! He’s open to the idea!”
“Seriously?” Huening Kai exclaimed, his excitement bubbling over. “That’s amazing, Gyu!”
Soobin grinned, clapping his hands together. “I’m so happy for you both! You’ll be great parents!”
Beomgyu felt warmth spread through him. “Thanks, guys. It means a lot to me.”

Four Hours Later
After a pleasant afternoon filled with laughter and teasing, Yeonjun arrived to pick up Beomgyu. The three of them exchanged warm goodbyes before Beomgyu stepped out with Yeonjun.
Once home, Beomgyu and Yeonjun took a relaxing shower together, sharing quiet moments that made Beomgyu’s heart swell with joy. As the water cascaded over them, Beomgyu turned to Yeonjun, his expression serious.
“Are you really okay with this?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Yeonjun smiled, cupping Beomgyu’s face with his hand. “Of course, I am. I want a family with you, Gyu. I want us to build a life together.”
Beomgyu’s heart raced at the words. “You don’t know how happy that makes me.”
After the shower, they snuggled into bed, exhaustion creeping over them as they drifted off to sleep, dreams of their future together dancing in their minds.
