I Promise You

I'll Give You Everything

"I love you so much, hyung." Hyunggu hugged him tightly, making Hui laugh.

"You wrote me a novel, I know you do." The leader chuckled, pecking the dancer's forehead before letting their maknae take his boyfriend away and leaning back against Hyojong.

Their comeback was right around the corner and life was starting to be too hectic again. There was too much work and there will be even more when they start promoting, so the night of Hui's birthday was supposed to be their last chance to get some rest before the storm their fourth mini album will bring. Hui looked around the room, smiling warmly at his members who were obviously taking advantage of those couple of hours of fun they had now.

Shinwon was telling something funny to Jinho, Hongseok and Yuto, making them laugh a moment later. Yanan and Changgu were sitting beside Hyojong, with the Chinese boy complaining about their eldest hyung and resident jokesters making fun of him asking for sex advice and condoms to the small rapper. Hui glanced at his boyfriend, noticing the playful smirk as he listened to the tall vocalist, then at Changgu looking like he's about to facepalm from reliving the story once again. The sounds of happiness.

"You should've come to me." Hyojong replied simply, making Hui bite his lip to hold back his laughter at the teasing tone the blond rapper had used.

"You're in another dorm." Yanan whined quickly, not catching the amusing smirk Hyojong still had on his face. Changgu shook his head and took a sip of his beer, trying to tune into the other conversation instead.

"You're not even topping." Hui teased instead, making Hyojong turn to look at him instead.

"You don't know that." He tried to look offended, but then grinned, earning a playful hit from his boyfriend. "Besides, it doesn't matter, I still have condoms and knowledge." He wiggled his eyebrows, making Hui laugh for real before looking back at Yanan.

"You made Yananie sulk again."

"You're all awful." The Chinese boy pouted, letting out another annoyed huff as Hyojong reached up to ruffle his hair.

"We all love you though. That's why we're making fun of you." Hui grinned. "And you managed in the end, haven't you?"

"Hyung..." There was that whine again and Hyojong laughed along, resting his head on Hui's shoulder.

Hyunggu was on the verge of falling asleep already, curling himself into Wooseok's warmth, the youngest securely holding him against his chest and smiling at their hyungs' interactions as well. Hui looked over at the maknae, a moment later meeting his gaze and smiling warmly before nodding at Hyunggu.

"You should go to sleep Wooseok-ah." And Wooseok moved, as if he was waiting for Hui to say those words, even though he didn't need to.

"Happy birthday, Hui hyung." He smiled before leaving the room with sleepy Hyunggu attached to his hip and Hui turned back to the rest of his family.

The happiness he was feeling tonight wasn't uncommon. He felt it whenever Yuto would tell him about new Korean phrases he had learned, whenever Shinwon would eagerly talk about the letters he got from Universes or whenever Yanan would practice singing, his sweet voice warming up their sleepy mornings. It was evident in their everyday activities, simple things that filled their life and made them grow – as individuals and together, breathing in and sharing that air of happiness – through good and bad. In the end of the day Hui considered himself lucky. And he felt lucky now again, as he looked at all of them, precious smiles and sweet laughter and a familiar warmth by his side.
