Maybe love didn't magically solve everything- EUNHYUK

The apartment looked beautiful.

That was the first thing you noticed when Eunhyuk opened the door.

Soft lights glowed around the living room. There were decorations hanging neatly this time instead of the usual chaos Eunsuk created. A small cake sat on the table beside flowers, and your favorite food was already prepared.

You blinked in surprise. "You did all this?"

Eunhyuk looked oddly nervous rubbing the back of his neck. "You only turn nineteen once."

Your heart softened immediately.

But before you could step inside—

"Why she here?"

The tiny voice cut through the moment instantly.

Eunsuk stood in the hallway wearing dinosaur pajamas, frowning the second he saw you.

Eunhyuk's expression tightened slightly. "We talked about this."

"No we didn't."

"We literally did."

Eunsuk crossed his arms stubbornly and looked at you.

"She always here."

The warmth in your chest dimmed a little, though you forced a smile anyway. "Hi, Eunsuk."

He didn't answer.

Instead he walked over to the table and stared at the cake.

Then—very deliberately—

he stuck both hands straight into it.

Silence.

Your eyes widened.

"Eunsuk," Eunhyuk said sharply.

The little boy immediately smeared frosting across the top with a defiant expression.

"I don't want her birthday."

"Hey," Eunhyuk snapped.

You'd never heard his voice like that before.

Eunsuk froze.

"You do not act like that."

"I don't like her!"

The words hit harder than they should have.

Eunhyuk glanced toward you quickly before crouching in front of his son.

"You don't get to ruin things because you're upset."

"I want mommy!"

"I know that!"

The apartment fell silent.

Eunsuk's lip trembled instantly, but he kept going anyway.

"You love her more!"

Eunhyuk looked exhausted all of a sudden. "That's not true."

"You don't play with me when she here!"

"That's not true either."

"Yes it is!"

The little boy burst into tears, angry and messy and heartbroken all at once.

And honestly?

It hurt to watch.

Because beneath all the tantrums, he was just a child terrified his family was disappearing forever.

You quietly set your bag down. "It's okay—"

"No, it's not okay," Eunhyuk interrupted firmly.

Eunsuk looked shocked.
