Junhee was freaking out, he didn't know what to wear to Donghun's party and it was in two hours. Currently he was on a group FaceTime with Hoseok, Youngjae, and Byeongkwan who were also going to the party. Junhee flopped down on his bed and groaned. "I'm being stupid."

"What? why?" Youngjae asked, smacking his lips together--spreading the lip balm he just put on.

"Why do I care so much? It doesn't matter that much… does it?" Junhee sat up.

"You just want to look good. Nothing wrong with that," Hoseok reassured. The rest of the boys were done getting ready, they were planning on going to the party together but at the rate Junhee's going; it doesn't look like that.

"What if you wore those pants we got at the mall that one day? Didn't he like those?" Byeongkwan spoke up. Junhee shrugged.

"I guess. But what shirt do I wear?"

"Just wear a tee and I'll lend you my leather jacket or something," Byeongkwan sighed. Junhee grunted but changed anyway. What other choices did he have? 

He stepped in front of his camera once more. "This is fine, right?" His friends all nodded.

The four walked up to Donghun’s door, they had been early so basically no one was there. Junhee’s stomach swirled, he never liked being late for anything, he preferred being early but maybe today he was too early. He knocked on the door, Donghun peeked his head passed the door to see who it was. Opening the door all the way he let the group of friend’s in, he looked at Junhee strangely. Junhee gave him a shy smile. “Okay, I’m going to go help finish setting up,” Youngjae said, the other two followed Youngjae to the kitchen where snack bowls were sitting; waiting to be put in the living room. 

“This is a surprise,” Donghun said as he stuck his hands in his jean pockets. 

“Yeah, I guess I should’ve texted you or something,” Junhee played with his ear nervously. 

“No no, it’s fine. It’s a nice surprise,” they both giggled.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t get you a gift. I only found out I was coming here last night,” Junhee pouted sadly.

“You being here is enough,” he took hold of one of Junhee’s hands, rubbing his thumb over the knuckles. Junhee blushed and looked away.

“What are you saying?” He laughed, butterflies filling his stomach. Donghun sighed.

“The one thing I wanted for my birthday was for you to be here.”

“Really?” Junhee asked. Donghun nodded, he looked around. “Let’s go to my room.”  He led Junhee up the stairs to his bedroom. They stood in his bedroom, Donghun still holding onto Junhee’s hand, he shut the door. “I thought you couldn’t make it…” His voice was slightly above a whisper. Junhee let go of his hand and went to Donghun’s bed, sitting on it.

“I couldn’t make it because of the dinner but it was switched to tomorrow,” Donghun came and sat beside him, he looked at Junhee’s features that were highlighted by the dim lamp lit room. Junhee turned his face to Donghun’s.

“You look beautiful,” his eyes flickered to Junhee’s lips then back up to his eyes. Junhee felt his cheeks heat up slightly, he turned away. Donghun grabbed his face, causing him to look at him again. “Don’t look away.” He whispered, leaning closer.
