-wonwoo  ; one week later

   "Mingyu-ah, stop changing the channel! I'm trying to watch this." I try to grab the remote, him moving his hand far away from me to keep it out of my reach.

   "I'm not kidding, Gyu! Give it to me." I say, trying to sound menacing. Mingyu only laughs at me and calls me a puppy which causes me to pout.

   "Even though you are older than me, you act like a five year old Wonu hyung!" Mingyu laughs and tosses me the remote. I settle on a new show, something completely random and that I'm not very interested in. Sudden knocks on the door startle me and Mingyu, the way he jumped off the couch in shock portraying how scared he got.

   "Who is it?" I yell, looking into the eye hole to see five familiar people standing outside my door. I hurry and unlock the door, confusion displayed on my face as I ask, "What are you guys doing here?"

   "We decided that we should have a sleepover but we didn't want to do it at any of our houses and you two are the only ones that live alone so we decided here would be good!" Soonyoung says, rushing into my house, dragging a grumpy Jihoon behind him.

   Jihoon works at the music recording studio across the street from the coffee shop. Him and Soonyoung are practically inseparable, even though he will never admit it. He's a short little guy with brown hair and the face of an angel. He can sing really well too. He started hanging out with us a few weeks ago when Soonyoung didn't want to leave him alone so he made him go out to the park with us. But just recently, he has been warming up to us which is good because he's a really nice guy. Another new addition to our group is a rather tall guy named Seokmin. He is a florist that owns a flower stand right by the gallery that Junhui works at. Minghao had become friends with him while he was stalking Junhui. That eventually led to him hanging out with us. He has a lot of positive energy which is really nice. Him and Soonyoung get along really well, not surprisingly.

   After Soonyoung had practically carried Jihoon in, Minghao, Seokmin, and Jeonghan step in respectfully and head to the couch where Mingyu is still at. He is chatting with Jihoon while Soonyoung is trying to find the remote to the tv.

   "Okay, wait. First of all, who said that you all could have a sleepover at my house without my consent? This isn't a public house where everyone can just walk in and out as they please. What if Mingyu and I were going somewhere tonight, huh?" I huff, displeased and surprised that they had the audacity to just come into my house and ruin the perfect moment I had going with Mingyu.

   "Hyung, will you chill? It's good that they wanted to include us in their sleepover! This will be fun, I promise!" Mingyu says excitedly, his eyes shining. "Yeah Wonwon, it will be super fun. Just relax a little." Jeonghan puts his arm around my shoulder.

   "I guess it couldn't hurt." I mumble, giving in to the six eyes that were all staring at me pleadingly. They all cheer and get up and run to kitchen, placing all the food and snacks that they brought, ice cream being one of them, on my table. Mingyu stays behind and walks over to me, his arms going around to hug me.

   "Thanks for letting them stay, Wonu hyung. We are going to have so much fun I promise." Mingyu smiles at me and holds my shoulders, not breaking eye contact.

   "What did I say about calling me hyung, you dork. Now let's go see what snacks they brought." I say and playfully punch his shoulder, taking his hand and leading him into the kitchen where all the others are.

--:--:--

   "I am NOT playing truth or dare. It's either tell us who you like or do a weird sexual thing and I'm not interested in doing that tonight," I cross my arms and look at them all sternly, "Plus the game always ends up making someone uncomfortable and I don't want any of my guests to feel that way." I end my explanation and wait for the arguing and disagreeing to start but it never does.

   "Ah that's true. Maybe we could just watch a movie then?" Jeonghan suggests. Everyone immediately agrees.

   So we start to transform my living room into a movie theater. We drag my mattresses into the small space and move the couch so there is space for them. I grab all my spare pillows and blankets, handing them out so everyone gets some. We get all the snacks that we could find and argue over which movie to pick. We finally pick a completely random one and put it in.

   Soonyoung, Jihoon, and Seokmin are laying on one mattress while Minghao and Jeonghan are on the other one. Mingyu and I choose the couch, making it as comfortable as much as we can. We lay down like we do when we sleep and watch the movie, enjoying the company of each other and our friends.

   The night drags on with jokes, stories, and songs, all of which make the memories of this night more special. Seungchoul shows up at around midnight, immediately laying down beside Jeonghan. The movie is long forgotten, just the sounds of our voices and laughter fill my little apartment. Popcorn is all over the floor, thanks to Soonyoung who thought he could balance the bowl on his head without spilling it. The remote is now lost in the mess of bodies and blankets, no one caring enough to actually search for it. We all enjoy the environment that is filled with happiness.

   "You know Mingyu, you could come work at the recording studio if you like. You could help me with the equipment and handle the appointments. You would get paid too." Jihoon suggests. Mingyu's eyes go wide and he shakes his head vigorously.

   "Would you really do that for me? I've been looking for a job for two weeks! Ah, did you hear that Wonu? I can be a working man just like you. Now you can't make me clean the house because I don't pay rent." Mingyu's relief of finding a job is very obvious as his outburst makes us all crack up.

   "I'm going to miss you at the coffee shop everyday. It won't be the same without you and Wonwoo always staring at each other. How else am I going to spend my time now if I can't watch y'all?" Minghao pouts but the look in his eyes make it seem more mischievous than innocent.

   "Maybe you could actually do your job?" I retort to him, trying not to get embarrassed by his comment.

"What's the fun in that?" He laughs and we let the conversation go, it ending just like the movie we never finished.

   Soon enough, we all fall asleep in our respective spots. I hold Mingyu in my arms, feeling his breaths become longer and longer. It lulls me to sleep, just like every night.

   We all sleep with the feeling of pure joy surrounding us.
