The first light of morning filtered through the curtains, and the younger siblings, ever eager to spend time with their beloved Kuya Uno, woke up early. They had one mission in mind: to sneak into Sunoo's room and cuddle him before their brothers could get to him.
As quietly as they could, the younger siblings padded down the hall, tiptoeing toward Sunoo's bedroom. They grinned at each other, excited to surprise him with morning hugs and kisses.
However, when they reached the door and pushed it open, the sight they were met with made them freeze.
There, in Sunoo's bed, were their older brothers—all of them—tangled up together, with Sunoo nestled comfortably in the center, his arms wrapped around the nearest person. Jay was resting his head on Sunoo’s chest, while Jake was sprawled across his legs, with Heeseung's arm around his waist. Sunghoon and Jungwon were cuddled up beside Sunoo, and Niki had managed to squeeze into the little space left on the bed. They were all peacefully asleep, a pile of intertwined limbs and shared warmth.
The younger siblings stood in the doorway, wide-eyed and speechless.
“What the heck?” Jayu whispered, eyes darting from one brother to the next.
“Did they… sleep here all night?” Niki’s younger sibling asked, incredulous.
“Looks like it,” Jayu replied, crossing their arms in mock annoyance. “And we didn’t even get a chance to sleep with Kuya Uno.”
The younger siblings exchanged glances, a mischievous glint in their eyes.
“Well,” Jayu said with a sly grin, “If they’re not going to share, we’ll just have to take matters into our own hands.”
The others nodded, already hatching a plan.
With the quietest of movements, the younger siblings made their way toward the bed. They quickly and quietly climbed onto the mattress, each of them making sure to position themselves next to Sunoo.
One by one, they carefully leaned over and planted small, innocent kisses on his cheeks and forehead, trying not to wake him. But their soft giggles and the gentle nudges from the bed were enough to stir the boyfriends, who began to groggily stir awake.
Jay’s eyes fluttered open first. He blinked in confusion as he realized what was going on—his younger sibling was right next to him, giggling while planting kisses on Sunoo’s cheek.
“What the—?” Jay groggily reached out to pull his sibling away. “Hey, get off! This is our boyfriend you're kissing Jayu!”
But before he could do anything, Jayu, ever the troublemaker, jumped up and planted a loud kiss right on Sunoo’s lips, making sure to do it with flair. “Good morning, Kuya Uno!” they shouted.
Sunoo’s eyes snapped open at the sudden attention, his face turning crimson as he blinked at the group of younger siblings all surrounding him.
“W-What?” Sunoo stammered, suddenly wide awake. He quickly realized what was going on and couldn’t help but laugh, despite the awkwardness.
“I see how it is,” he said, laughing nervously as the younger siblings crowded closer. “I only get the goodnight kisses when you’re asleep, but you guys wake up early to steal my attention?”
The boyfriends, now fully awake, groaned in frustration as they sat up, rubbing their eyes.
“Can you please let us have our time with Sunoo? We’ve barely slept!” Jake grumbled, shooting his younger sibling a pointed look.
Niki’s younger sibling playfully stuck their tongue out at Jake, grinning. “It’s not our fault you’re all so slow to wake up.”
Sunghoon stretched, still half asleep, and glanced over at Sunoo, who was now laughing as he tried to escape the clutches of their mischievous younger siblings.
