Because they happened to have a day off at the same time, the thirteen men decided that it'd be a good day for a meet up that was long overdue anyway. Besides, Jeonghan and Seungkwan had been missing their boyfriends to death while they were away.

Joshua and Seokmin never heard the end of it while they were on tour, having had to share rooms with each of them, the 95 liners taking one room, the maknaes in the other while Jihoon was lucky enough to have his own.

Now, the six (Soonyoung had been attached to Jihoon's side since the ending of the tour) were getting ready for the meet up with the group, and they were all really pumped for it.

Throwing on a casual (in his opinion) shirt and some jeans, Jeonghan fixed his now reddish hair in the mirror, hoping Seungcheol would like the new look. He dusted some makeup on, keeping it simple with some concealer (he hadn't slept that much the previous night, okay?), foundation, eyeliner and finishing with some lip balm and a touch of pink lipstick.

Before he knew it, Joshua was knocking on his door to call him so they could leave. The company had given them permission to take the company car today, thankfully, because none of them had one of their own.

"Take it easy," said Joshua, linking his arm through Jeonghan's and using his softest, most calming voice to hypnotize the man. He gave Jeonghan's arm a reassuring pat. "Seungcheol loves you, Han. Why do you always get so worked up when you see him?"

"I don't know. . ." Jeonghan's voice was quiet when he spoke. "I just. . . I guess I think he can do so much better than me? I don't want him to leave me, Shua. I love him."

"You need to stop letting your insecurities get to you, Han," he told the older, taking his hand and giving it a squeeze before letting go, "You're great, okay? He's really lucky to have someone as kind – uh, most of the time — caring, handsome guy like you, got it?"

Jeonghan hit Joshua's shoulder lightly. "Yeah. . . Thanks, Shua. You're the best."

He scoffed. "Obviously."

They both giggled as they walked out of the dorms and to the car, the rest of the men already waiting inside of it. Seungkwan took shotgun while Soonyoung and Jihoon took up the two seats right at the back. Joshua slid into the car, seating himself next to Seokmin who had his earphones in his ears.

After greeting the driver, Jeonghan gave him the address of the place they'd be meeting at. It was a place where many idols liked to meet up due to the high security and privacy. The owner himself is a retired idol who chose to settle down and get married in his late twenties.

The restaurant a rather large place. Most of it was outdoors and allowed idols to behave more freely. It usually wasn't crowded as idols rarely had days off at the same time but when it was, it could get very loud but very fun.

"Your boys are already there," Seokmin informed Seungkwan and Jeonghan, not looking up from his phone, "China line, Meanie and Maknae are there too."

"Is it so hard to call them by their names?" As soon as the words left Joshua's mouth, Seungkwan started talking about the movie he'd watched with a similar title to his last words.

They finally reached the place and got out of the car as quickly as possible after thanking the driver and letting him know that he didn't need to wait for them. They entered, giving their names and IDs to the security, and went to find where the rest of the group was.

To say it was wild would be a euphemism. Jun and Minghao were sat at one side of the long table arguing loudly in Mandarin that nobody else could understand while Chan was trying to calm them down, Seungcheol was looking panicked, Vernon was being his usual crackhead self and taking derp faced selfies while Mingyu and Wonwoo made out right in front of everyone.

"Uh. . . Hey, everybody," Jeonghan said, voice raised a little so that they'd actually hear him. As soon as his voice reached their ears, the noise quietened and they turned to the remaining six.

Seungcheol stood up immediately and went to engulf Jeonghan in a tight hug before kissing him deeply. He kept it short and sweet, not wanting to make a big scene unlike one of the other couples there.

When everyone saw Soonyoung and Jihoon, the couple became crowded, everyone either congratulating them, asking to see their rings or asking how the whole proposal went down.

Except Hansol and Seungkwan. They immediately fell into their own world as everybody else stood together. They stood off to the side, arms wrapped around one another and sharing short, chaste kisses in between sentences and words.

While they were all sitting down to eat, Seokmin suddenly stood up, his glass (empty) raised dramatically as he used his chopsticks to tap against it. Everybody stopped chattering and looked up at him, wondering why he was standing on his chair.

He cleared his throat and began speaking, "Just a heads up, I'm about to go all cheesy on you all. I just wanted to say that I'm really thankful for this friendship that we have. The past year has been one of the best so far and it's all thanks to you guys. I love you all, a lot, and I'm really glad that we all became such good friends. That is all, goodnight."

Everybody either started laughing or cooing at the now embarrassed man whose cheeks tinted pink as he sat down again.

"That's so sweet, Min," Jeonghan said, smiling brightly, "I agree; last year was amazing and this year's been really good so far. I love all of you a lot." He linked his hand with Seungcheol's under the table and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

The rest of them mumbled in agreement, the couples taking their time to give one another a kiss while the single ones pretended to be disgusted at the sight (although they secretly found it endearing how much they loved each other).

"I love you, Gyu," Wonwoo mumbled to him, a barely audible declaration but loud enough for Mingyu to catch it.

The younger boy grinned and squeezed his boyfriend's hand. "I love you, Wonu."
