happy Minhyuk day! <3

When Hyunwoo usually returned to the dorm, be it from anywhere or at anytime save after eleven when the others were home, he was almost always greeted by the same clamor: pots hissing or oil bubbling loudly in the kitchen by Kihyun's grace, the rapper maknaes either playing video games while yelling in the process or Minhyuk and the rappers being loud while playing video games, Hoseok either being loud with the others or working in his home studio and Hyungwon quietly being quiet in some dark corner.

The bottom line: Minhyuk, Changkyun and Jooheon were loud. Most of the time. Minhyuk also liked to be loud in almost whatever he was doing, given it was before 6 pm. Be it teasing Hyungwon, playing with the maknaes or Hoseok or even helping Kihyun out, he made his presence known. Not that it was in a bad way, unless you were Hyungwon or Kihyun. Mostly Hyungwon.

Hyunwoo always found Minhyuk's voice and presence warm and bright, no matter how bad of a headache he had. Minhyuk's loudness wasn't so much of a nuisance to him as it was a comfort. Entering the dorm to the younger's contagious dolphin squeals lightened his heart or made him outright smile fondly on his better days. If Minhyuk was a color, he'd definitely be yellow. Even his voice painted imagery in his mind's eye. Hyunwoo wasn't sure what color that was, but it was surely something bright and cheery. Even in his quiet, contemplative moods, Minhyuk was always shining from within. At least to Hyunwoo. Hyungwon would definitely have some objections.

It was steadily growing colder and darker that evening as Hyunwoo went back to the dorm from the Starship building. He'd been catching up on a meeting with the band's health instructor which he'd missed because of some other meeting...being leader wasn't hard, but mismatched and clashing schedules were. Anyway, he had a new diet and it kinda pissed him off. A bit too much on the green, leafy vegetable side, if you asked him.

Hyunwoo double checked the time on his wristwatch as he walked, the cool, dry breeze tousling his hair but cracking his lips. It was barely past five in the evening; why was the sky so dark? His stinging lips reminded him winter was coming, and no matter how much lip balm he used they still hurt so much. Unfortunately, the Tony Moly lip tint wasn't much help either.

"You gotta stop licking it all off," Minhyuk's exasperatedly amused voice rang through his mind, and he shook his head, smiling lightly. They'd had this argument back and forth, wherein Hyunwoo insisted he didn't lick the balm. They'd made the mistake of bringing it up while Hyungwon was in the room once, earning a short, irritated: "It would help if you stopped sucking each other's faces so much."

Minhyuk had merely smirked and said, "Licking still helps, y'know." Then, to more effectively chase Hyungwon away, he'd dragged Hyunwoo's face down to his.

Hyunwoo was chuckling absently by this time, something he'd taken to doing a lot when he was alone like this. Minhyuk would enter unbidden into his mind and he let himself be swept along. But then again, a bit too frequently, because the others would immediately ask what was so funny, or why his ears were red. He shook out of his warm thoughts as he saw he was finally walking up the steps to patio of the dorm.Too lazy to pull out his phone and give anyone of the members a miscall, he rang the bell and patiently waited in the crisp, cool weather until Kihyun answered.

"Oh-- hyung, it's you," he said, stepping back as the leader stepped inside. "You took longer than I thought."

"I decided to walk," Hyunwoo shrugged, the warmth of the house enveloping him as Kihyun shut the door, along with the domestic sounds of pots hissing and bubbling in the kitchen, their smell wafting down the hall. Jooheon and Changkyun's laughter and shrieks echoed through the dorm.
