“God,” Jaehyun panted, burying his face into Taeyong’s neck. “Fucking hell, hyung.”
Too dazed to process anything, Taeyong just breathed in short gasps.
Eventually, Jaehyun rolled off him and gathered Taeyong in his arms. “For someone so small you sure have a lot of stamina,” he teased, pressing kisses all over Taeyong’s face from his pointed chin to his damp hair.
Taeyong let out an annoyed whine. “I hate you,” he grumbled, but he curled up to his boyfriend anyway.
They lay in peaceful silence for several minutes, with Taeyong resting his head serenely against Jaehyun’s chest. The latter hummed some popular song as he carded his fingers through the former’s hair. Just as Taeyong started dozing off, a phone buzzed. He whined again when Jaehyun moved to get it.
Jaehyun chuckled. “Soojung just sent me this,” he said, showing Taeyong his phone screen.
The last Taeyong had heard from Soojung, she’d been enjoying summer vacation in Jeju with Jongin, Taemin, and Jinri. The picture showed Soojung with Jongin’s arms around her as they shared a smoothie with two straws. In the background, Taemin was mid jump with his hands in peace signs while Jinri laughed at him.
“Cute,” Taeyong commented, grabbing the phone to peer closer. “Cheesy, but I’m glad they’re together.”
Jaehyun nodded in agreement. “Same. I was surprised they got back together, but also not really. I always thought Jongin-hyung still had a thing for her.”
Taeyong absentmindedly exited the app. “When are they coming back again? This month?”
“I think so.”
“Mmm, that’s good,” Taeyong smiled at the phone’s home screen. “And hey, you haven’t changed this yet!”
Jaehyun rolled his eyes. “It’d be pointless for me to do that anyway.”
About a month ago, Taeyong had been playing with Jaehyun’s (passcode-less) phone and, because he was feeling mischievous, changed the default lock screen to his cute selfie. Then he’d switched the home screen to a different selfie, but with Jaehyun in it too. The first time Jaehyun saw the changes, he’d laughed and threatened to delete all of Taeyong’s pictures. But Taeyong had caught him smiling fondly down at his lock screen plenty of times to know that that would never happen.
“Shower?” Jaehyun asked as he kissed Taeyong’s shoulder.
“Round two?”
“There’s that stamina again.”
Taeyong whacked him on the shoulder.
“Happy birthday, hyung,” Jaehyun stuck out his tongue.

“Jaehyun, could you please pass me the potatoes?” Yunho asked.
“Ask Soojung to do it,” Jaehyun muttered, too busy cutting up a piece of ham.
Sooyeon slammed her fist down on the table. “Pass him the goddamn plate, Jae!” She roared.
Immediately, Jaehyun gave Yunho the potatoes. Taeyong giggled.
“Thank you,” Sooyeon smiled sweetly, already back to her usual self. At the shocked gazes of everyone at the table who wasn’t related to her, she waved her hand flippantly. “That’s the only way to get them to listen,” Sooyeon explained.
Soojung shuddered. “It works like a charm,” she said.
Jeno coughed awkwardly to relieve the tension. “Wow, uh, you guys are very outspoken, aren’t you?”
