Happy birthday, Wooseokie!

__________________

It had been so long since they had a while to rest. After getting in produce, they barely had time to sleep well enough, so doing anything other than practicing and appearing in places was basically impossible. So the thing the members wanted to do the most was meet their parents.

And in the first break they had, a weak break before they already started preparations of their next album while doing some other schedules, was visit their parents. The dorms were very chaotic, with everyone getting their luggage ready, members running around, and one by one they started leaving.

Seungyeon wasn't so worried. His parents didn't live far away, and he was actually able to see them more often than the other members. So he just helped some members get their things ready. That's when he noticed a certain tiny member missing. Seungyeon had passed in front of the door to Wooseok's room multiple times, but never saw even a little bit of movement. He decided he would wait a bit and see if something happened.

And the things calmed down. Most members had already left, or were almost leaving, still except for his same aged friend. Seungyeon started feeling a bit worried, so he went to the other's room and knocked on the door lightly before opening it. Rather than what he imagined, Wooseok was sitting on his bed, wearing pretty loose track pants and a yellow sweatshirt, a laptop on his lap. Wooseok looked up as he heard someone come in, and quickly took out his earphones.

"Oh, you're going now Seungyeonie?"

"No, I was actually wondering why you didn't go yet, you must miss your parents"

"You know I got Lasik done a few days ago. The doctor didn't allow me to go until 4 days from today. I don't even know if I'll go or just stay here, since then I'll just be able to stay with them for two days."

"Oh... then you should be doing something else other than staying on your computer. It might hurt your eyes!"

Then Seungyeon suddenly realized. If Wooseok had to stay for more four days... it meant he was planning to spend his birthday completely alone. And, no, Cho Seungyeon wouldn't let that happen.

"I was just checking a few things. I think... I'll just go to sleep soon. I have nothing to do"

"Not before you eat. I can't believe we were almost leaving you here on your own, you would probably forget to even eat"

"Seungyeonie, it's alright. You should go stay with your mom, she probably misses you, and I know you miss her."

Seungyeon sat down on the other's bed sternly, closing the laptop and taking the earphones from him. Wooseok very slightly pouted at that, and Seungyeon couldn't help but slightly smile at the cuteness.

"Not before I make sure you're completely okay and not dying from boredom right here. You can even come with me to my mom's, she still wants to meet all the members, specially you since I talk so much about you."

"You talk about me to your mom? Shouldn't you be talking to her about Dohyun, Seungwoo or something? You're very close to them"

"But I love you as well, and we've known each other for very long. I guess I'm just a bit more comfortable when I'm with you."

Wooseok almost choked hearing the L word leaving Seungyeon's pretty lips. He really didn't expect such a lovely and clear display of affection in the middle of that conversation. Seungyeon quickly noticed how phased he made the younger become, and laughed. He decided it would be fun to tease a bit more, so he moved closer, wrapping one arm around the other's small shoulders. He never saw someone blush so quickly.

"I-I guess that's true... but I don't want to bother you and her. It should be your moment with your family, and I don't want to make you feel obligated to make me comfortable or happy"

"Kim Wooseok, I want to make you happy every single second I'm alive, me being far or close to you doesn't make a difference"

Wooseok quickly looked away, not knowing how to respond, nor how to make his heart stop beating this fast. Seungyeon always had these bursts that made him wonder whether he was just teasing or if he actually liked the younger. And Wooseok really wished it was the second one.

"No need to answer that I guess, Wooseok-ah. Anyways, I will not leave you alone for these days. You should live a bit normally now that we can, before we start schedules and album preparations"

"I still think you should go stay with your parents, without me"

"You know I see them whenever I have time. I'm not leaving you alone for a whole week. And you have no more saying in this discussion, you know I am stubborn and I have made my decision, there's no turning back!"

Seungyeon said with such a dramatic tone it was impossible for Wooseok not to giggle. The older smiled brightly at the cute smile, pulling Wooseok even closer into a proper hug. The smaller male just hugged back, the cute smile he didn't show so often before still on his features.

"Now we need to eat! It's late, so let's order dinner then sleep shall we? We can even put together mine and Hangyul's bed, I know you're not a fan of sleeping alone when the house is this empty"

"Do I even have a say in this?"

"Of course not! You know me so well, Wooseokie, I'm moved!"

The fake admiration and emotions on Seungyeon's voice made Wooseok laugh again, his voice going a pitch higher as he was actually enjoying his time. Seungyeon laughed as well, taking his phone out behind Wooseok's back and ordering food for both of them, obviously ordering the chicken feet the younger so much loved.

"I already ordered the food, so you can't run away from me any longer! You're stuck with me tonight, Kim Wooseok"

"You're probably the most annoying but lovely person I've ever met, Cho Seungyeon"

"Kim freaking Wooseok called me lovely?!"

Seungyeon pulled away from the hug, holding Wooseok by the arms as he acted completely shook with the information. It actually felt good being called lovely by his crush, but he couldn't lose the opportunity to look at the adorable smile. But instead, Wooseok lightly pouted.

"Hey, the hug was good, come here again or I'm not staying"

"Yessir!"

Seungyeon laughed. The answer was much much better than just seeing Wooseok smile. So he pulled the smaller male in again, embracing him tightly. He also pulled them down to lay on their sides on the bed, not letting go and making sure Wooseok could comfortably rest his head on the older's arm. It was a great position, in which they stayed in silently, just enjoying each other's warmth in the weather that was slowly becoming colder and colder. Until they heard the sound of the bell ringing echo through the house.

Seungyeon sighed before starting to move away. Wooseok had actually started to take a nap while they laid down, so he felt very bad for disturbing his comfortable slumber. So he spoke very quietly so he wouldn't disturb the small male even more.

"I'm going to get the food, okay? I'll come back in a while with everything, so don't worry"

Wooseok just very quietly whined in a high pitched tone, quickly curling up on himself. It was probably the most adorable thing Seungyeon had seen in a while, and he literally lived with Hyungjun and Dongpyo. Still, Wooseok was the only one who could make his heart so so warm.

Seungyeon went downstairs, got the food and started setting everything up for them to eat. He wanted the younger to eat something he liked, so Seungyeon had made it sure everything he ordered was something the other really liked. After a while, Seungyeon went upstairs with all the dishes, pushing the door open with his back and going in the room.

He set the dishes on a small table, going up to Wooseok afterwards. And the tiny male was already sleeping so peacefully. Wooseok had curled up before, looking even tinier than he already is, but then he put his hands right beneath his head. It was just so adorable, and the features of the younger looked so specially stunning on the dim light, only illuminated by the lights of the city and the moon. And all Seungyeon wanted to do was hug him, kiss him and show all the love he felt.

Seungyeon was not lying when he said "I love you". He did love the younger, but not in the way people expected him to. Through the time they spent together, Seungyeon found his feelings changing. He started wanting to make the younger smile at any cost, want to hug him, touch him, he started even feeling possessive, and admiring every single detail about the tiny vocalist. And god, he was just so whipped. He wanted to care for him, protect him and love him. But still, it was a bit complicated.

Seungyeon felt bad about waking him up, but still, didn't want him to sleep on an empty stomach. So Seungyeon placed his hand on the other's face, caressing slightly and whispered.

"Wooseokie? The food is here, baby, you should eat"

Seungyeon barely noticed the nickname slip through his lips, and was just glad the younger wasn't awake enough to realize what he said.  The younger barely even moved with the touch, so Seungyeon slipped his arm underneath him, pulling him up to rely on the older's chest. Wooseok whined cutely, scrunching his face and pouting slightly. And Seungyeon just found it so so adorable.

"Princess Wooseokie, your dinner is ready"

"Don't call me princess..."

"But you asked One It to call you princess? Do you prefer kitten?"

Wooseok just whined again, too sleepy and lazy to try and answer something witty back. Seungyeon moved so that the smaller male sat between his legs, back resting against his chest. Wooseok being tiny compared to Seungyeon's broad shoulders made the position very convenient.

"Let's eat, Wooseokie"

"If you spill something on me, I swear"

"I see you woke up fully now"

Wooseok rolled his eyes, moving forward to sit on the edge of the bed to reach the food.

"You don't need to worry about your bed, since you'll be sleeping with me for the next days"

"I see I don't have a choice on that as well"

"Yep, exactly"

Seungyeon reached out as well, getting the plastic gloves from the package. It would be a lot easier to eat with them, so he held Wooseok's wrist, putting it on the youngerster's hand. Wooseok felt his cheeks warm up at the caring action, but Seungyeon didn't seem to mind it at all, putting the glove on himself afterwards.

"Now let's eat because I'm kind of starving"

"Yeah, I'm hungry a bit too"

Both boys started eating, sometimes playing with each other a bit as well. Soon they had finished, Seungyeon quickly stood up, gathering the trash.

"Seungyeon-ah, let me take it, you already brought it here"

"Nah, this week is only for you"

Seungyeon smiled brightly, and took the opportunity of Wooseok being too flustered to react to quickly leave with all the trash. Wooseok sighed, organizing things on his bedroom while Seungyeon was gone.

The older boy soon came back, leaning on the doorway. Whenever Wooseok focused too much on something, he started pouting, and that was exactly what Seungyeon couldn't take his eyes off. The adorable pout Wooseok had on just made him want to kiss his cheeks and embrace him, and god, he was whipped.

"Hey, Wooseokie, let's go to my room, we can push the beds together, and I already changed the bed sheets in case Hangyul was dirty."

"Hangyul would be pissed if he heard that"

Wooseok giggled, standing up and following Seungyeon into his room. Seungyeon already had organized things a bit and as soon as they got in, the older pushed the beds together before Wooseok could even help.

"I know you can't workout yet, so maybe it's better if you don't carry heavy weights as well"

"You are worrying too much, Seungyeon-ah, it was a simple surgery, you don't need to be so careful."

"But I like being so caring toward you. So let me baby and pamper you for a bit at least"

"I don't have a choice again, right?"

"Exactly"

Both boys laughed, and Seungyeon pulled Wooseok to sit down on the bed, soon sitting beside the younger.

"You want to sleep already? We've been having many schedules and it's the first time we actually get to rest"

"Let's just sleep, tomorrow we can do more"

That night, Wooseok did try to stay away from Seungyeon, but to no avail. After very few minutes the two ended up cuddling in the middle of the bed, embracing each other warmly.

____________

In the morning, Wooseok woke up alone. It was a bit lonely waking up on his own after the intimate and comfortable things that happened the day before. But still, it was still something nagging on his mind the fact Seungyeon was giving away the time he would have with his family to stay with the younger. So it actually felt a bit better that way.

Wooseok slowly sat up on his half asleep state. He quickly did his hygiene and took a quick shower, changing into warmer clothes because of the chill morning. He wore a beige sweater with a heart on the right side of the chest, and again black track pants. Wooseok went downstairs and stopped a bit to stare. Seungyeon had just came back and was setting many bakery boxes on the table, probably their breakfast.

"Hello, Sleeping Beauty!"

Seungyeon said as soon as he noticed the other's presence. Wooseok got closer, and started raising his hand to touch his eye when Seungyeon held his wrist.

"You shouldn't touch your eyes, remember? They're still sensitive"

"Oh... yeah... thanks Seungyeonie"

"No problem, Sleeping beauty"

"Why sleeping beauty? What time is it?"

"11 am, and yesterday we went to sleep at 10 pm. Congrats, Wooseokie, you slept for almost 12 hours"

"Sorry... I must have been a hassle..."

"Actually you were the cutest little thing. When I woke up and started to leave you held me close and whined, you really are like a kitten"

Wooseok blushed while avoiding eye contact, embarrassed for seeming so clingy towards the other male. Obviously he'd be clingy and want affection from the person he has a crush on, but still it was embarrassing since he thought it was one-sided.

"Hey, kitty, I bough all your favorite breads and others for breakfast, so sit and enjoy! I thought much could go wrong if I tried to cook."

Wooseok couldn't help but giggle at the goofy expression on the other's face, soon helping to take out plates and cutlery. The couple sat down beside each other and Wooseok started to try and choose what to eat first. Seungyeon had probably bought enough food to feed all 11 members.

"Start with the cheese bread! It's my favorite, Wooseokie"

Seungyeon held the bread in front of Wooseok's lips, and again the smaller blushed before taking a bite. The older seemed so excited, anxiously waiting for the other's response, Wooseok couldn't help but smile. It was just too cute to handle.

"You like it?"

"It's really good, Seungyeonie"

Seungyeon smiled brightly, giving the other the rest of the bread before starting to eat as well. The two ate a lot, taking the opportunity of being able to eat whatever they wanted without the managers nagging at them. As he stopped eating, Seungyeon sighed in a satisfied manner.

"Finished as well, Wooseokie?"

"Yeah... I don't think I've ever ate so much since I became an idol"

"Me too, and I've been an idol for longer than you"

"You love reminding everyone of that"

"I love the thought of you calling me Sunbae"

"Alright, Seungyeonie sunbae"

Seungyeon literally giggled, his cheeks taking a tint of red as he heard the name roll off Wooseok's tongue, stopping with his lips slightly open and pouty, and he just wanted to kiss the younger right then. But he couldn't ruin this.

"Sunbae, we need to clean this up"

"It's your birthday but it seems like I'm the one receiving gifts. First off waking up with you being the most adorable little thing, then seeing you eat and get all messy, and now you calling me sunbae. This is a really great day"

"I'm messy?"

"That's the only thing you got? Come here, I'll clean you up"

Seungyeon reached, holding Wooseok's hands as the younger tried to frantically clean his face, and pulling them away. Seungyeon very gently used his thumb to wipe the other's lips and around his mouth where he had gotten food on. Wooseok blushed, avoiding eye contact yet again.

"You look very cute... Junho is very right when he says you're small and precious"

"Junho... Junho just wants to tease me, that's it..."

"Nope... he's very right."

Wooseok suddenly stood up, starting to clean everything up. If he just let that continue, he would end up doing something that would probably ruin their relationship, and that's the last thing he wanted. Seungyeon sighed, also standing up and to clean.

"Wooseok-ah, we have to do something great today"

"Like what?"

"It's a surprise."

"Are you going to suddenly appear in between my clothes and say you're a coat?"

"Nah, too basic, I've got to go higher"

"Should I be scared?"

"Nah... did you check out social media? Jallangdans are probably doing so much for your birthday"

"I didn't really see much actually... To be honest I really don't know if there will really be so much. You know how things have been harsh for us."

"Wooseok-ah... go get changed. We're going out. Don't wear something showy"

"But-"

"Go get changed"

Seungyeon wasn't usually someone stern, but the expression and the tone of his voice gave no place for discussion. So Wooseok just nodded, going upstairs to change into more presentable clothes. So he chose a light blue knitted turtleneck that had been a gift from fans and black pants, making sure the turtleneck could hide a bit of his face. Afterwards he went downstairs, seeing Seungyeon also ready, wearing a black sweater, a bit loosely fitting his body and light washed jeans. How could he be so handsome with such a simple outfit?

"Let's go, Wooseok-ah, I am driving"

"Should I be worried?"

"I'm a good driver okay, don't worry. And leave your cellphone and your wallet here. I'm paying for all and this has to be special"

"What if we want to take a picture?"

"I'm taking my camera, dummy"

Wooseok scrunched his nose cutely at the nickname, nevertheless still followed Seungyeon out of the building and to the other's car.

"If you feel cold, Seokie, there are blankets on the back seats"

"Already preparing for a future girlfriend?"

"Not exactly girlfriend, though it is for someone very special. Now let's go"

After both buckled their seatbelts (safety first kids) Seungyeon started driving to wherever he had been planning to. Wooseok looked attentively out of the window, trying to figure out where they could be heading to. He soon realized they were going towards the center of Seoul, and the amount of things they could do there was too much to even get close to a guess. So Wooseok just decided to stop bothering, just enjoying the view.

After a while, Seungyeon connected his cellphone to the car, starting to play When you love someone by Day6. (The lyrics are meaningful to the story, so if you want to check them out, they will be at the end of the chapter)

"I know you like Day6, but I didn't know if you know this song... I really like it"

"I heard it before, but I never really paid attention to it... I like it. The lyrics are beautiful."

"It's very close to what I think is love"

"I think the same"

A silence took over after that. But not the awkward kind. The comfortable kind that just felt peaceful and calm. It had always been a thing between the two. Many times they would end up together, not saying anything, just enjoying the simple presence of the other person. After a while the car stopped in a close street to a main Avenue of the area. Seungyeon took out a black and a white cap from the back seat, putting the white one on Wooseok's head, also making sure his hair wasn't messy before putting the black one on.

"We're going on a Seoul tour, Wooseok-ah, but let's be careful not to get caught"

"A Seoul tour? What are you planning Cho Seungyeon?"

"You will see"

Seungyeon smiled brightly before getting out of the car, and Wooseok had no choice but to follow suit. The older locked the car, starting to walk with the other towards who knows what. Wooseok just took to looking around a bit curiously to again try and figure out what they would do.

After a few minutes they were going down the stairs to the subway, and as they were walking towards the station, Wooseok was impressed. The LED screens that covered the walls suddenly showed him. Beautifully edited pictures and videos showed him dancing and singing, congratulating their "Jallang" on his birthday. A few people stopped, taking pictures, and it felt so so touching. Seungyeon smiled at the wide eyes and pouty lips of the tiny member.

"It's pretty, right?"

"Yeah... it's amazing..."

"Amazing and pretty like a certain Jallang"

The two kept walking, not wanting to give enough chances for people to recognize them. Wooseok really wasn't paying attention to things, and before he realized it they were inside the train. And again his face was right beside the window, this time a cutely designed layout of him in an orange sweater.

In the next stations it was the same. Videos of him, pictures of him, posters and events giving away cupsleeves with really long lines. Throughout it all, the two were mostly silent. Seungyeon wanted it to be that way. He wanted the younger to see clearly how many people loved and supported him, no matter how many scandals, how many people against him, there were many more people who loved him dearly. And Seungyeon wanted to show it. To show it to the kind hearted, emotional, loving person that is Kim Wooseok. The same person who sometimes thought he wasn't enough, that he was more hated than loved. He wanted to show that those people loved the younger for who he is. And that they didn't care about how many mistakes he made on stage. They knew how much of an angel he is.

"I really wish I could take you to your Times Square ad as well, Wooseokie... But that would be hard... So let's go somewhere that can be more intimate and more special, huh?"

And this time, Seungyeon didn't only walk away. He took the other's delicate hand in his, intertwining their fingers and giving a heartwarming smile before gently pulling him. And Wooseok's heart beat so so fast. He walked a bit behind the older, so that the pink tint of his cheeks couldn't be seen.

And soon the two were in the same car. Instead of just letting him go in, Seungyeon opened the door for him, closed it for him, even helped him buckle up the seat belt. All with such a heartwarming smile. And both felt something was different. Like suddenly their hearts had opened up to whatever it was that they had. They just knew it was special.

And soon Seungyeon started driving, again to somewhere Wooseok couldn't even guess. He didn't realize it had been so long, the sun almost beginning to set. It was a beautiful day, just very few clouds and a bit warmer than the previous days had been. It was almost like everything wanted to help in what Seungyeon had planned. 

Wooseok looked around as Seungyeon  started to slow the car before completely stopping in front of a pretty high and big building. It seemed a bit fancy, the walls being covered in glass. Seungyeon left the car with a staff and got in the building, talking briefly with the receptionist before taking Wooseok by the hand again to the elevator. And it wasn't exactly a surprise when Seungyeon pressed the button for the last floor.

"It must be so so high..."

"Don't worry, I am here, Seokie"

"I trust you, so it's okay"

Seungyeon smiled brightly, and after a while the elevator doors opened. It was a pretty decoration. It seemed to be a restaurant, all the decoration bright, mostly white and comfortable, some flowers on the tables here and there. Seungyeon again briefly spoke with the receptionist again and a waiter started taking them somewhere else. They were taken to a door and the waiter opened it for them showing (picture on the media of the chapter) a thing similar to a mattress, again all white and some pillows strewn around the mattress in a comfortable manner. In front of it was a bit of a lower table and another chair. There were also curtains around the mattress, then tied around poles to make way for people. It was just so simply beautiful.

The waiter let the couple inside and soon left after showing a small button to press incase they needed something.

"Cho Seungyeon... You're amazing... You really prepared all this"

"Yes, I did, I told you I wanted it to be a special day"

"And it already was more than special"

"Come here, sit down, the sun is setting"

The two sat down pretty close to each other, sitting in front of each other as they looked at the sun beautifully setting over the mixed up reality that is Seoul: nature, technology and history all living together to form this beautiful scenery. It was just peaceful, beautiful and happy. Not the kind of happiness that made you jump, laugh and scream, the kind that made your heart warm and satisfied to just be able to be there. It's the kind of happiness that lasts longer, that makes you remember every single detail of the day you felt such happiness, and Wooseok was completely sure he would never forget any second of all this.

"See, Wooseokie... We went from one side to the other of Seoul. We went all over this city, even in the farther regions. And you know why? I wanted to show you, all those people worked hard to make those things for you"

Seungyeon breathed deeply, turning completely and getting closer, taking a hold of Wooseok's delicate hand.

"See, I told you, you're loved by many... Not just me."

"Thank you, Seungyeonie. Today is such a happy amazing day for me, and I'll forever be thankful to you for that. I love you too, Seungyeonie"

"You don't have to be thankful, Seokie, because I want to do this. I love you and not just as a friend, Wooseokie, I want to be with you as lovers"

Seungyeon's heart was beating so so fast as he waited for a reaction. He definitely didn't want to ruin such an amazing day making Wooseok mad at him, but he could no longer hold back. He felt something different between them, and he wanted to try, just seeing the younger and playing around occasionally didn't seem like enough. And Wooseok took so long to react. His mouth agape as he stared at the other member, not believing the one he liked had literally just confessed to him at such a beautiful place and after giving him such an amazing experience.

And the younger couldn't bring himself to speak. So he held the other's hand tighter, bringing it to his lips to kiss the back of it before smiling brightly.

"Me too... Me too, Seungyeonie"

"Wait, you... You just said you feel the same?"

"Yes, I did"

A bright smile covered the other's features, eyes turning into small crescents, and Wooseok was caught off guard as he was suddenly tackled in a hug, causing the two to end up laying down on the mattress. The couple just stayed hugging and smiling, both trying to figure out what and how it all had happened. It almost seemed like a day too perfect to be true. Seungyeon suddenly sat up, helping the younger sit up as well.

"Then... let's be together, Wooseok-ah. Let's be a couple, let's date!"

Wooseok smiled brightly, nodding as he leaned closer. Seungyeon cupped the other's face gently, leaning in at once to connect their lips in a calm, simple kiss. At that very moment, they didn't care about anything at all. They just cared about the two of them, there showing their love, right before a beautiful scenery after a lovely day. It was absolutely stunning.

After a while, both pulled away, keeping their faces really close still.

"This is the best birthday I've ever had, Cho Seungyeon, all because of you"

"I think it was about time that we gave in to what fate has been trying to do for 6 years, right?"

"Definitely... and I'm definitely not letting go anytime soon... or ever"

"I'm not letting go either... because you're probably the most precious and amazing person I've ever met, and I couldn't help but fall for you"

"You're probably also one of the best people to ever come into my life, Seungyeonie... because of how amazing you are I couldn't help but fall for you too"

"I love you"

"I love you so much that it overflows...

I hope

I can be a little helpful at least

I hope

I can be your resting place

I'll try to make you feel at peace

Whenever you think of me

during your busy days"

______________

Alright! This took a while, but I hope you like it!

It was actually based off a tweet I saw on my time line, I obviously asked to use the idea so here I'm leaving a screenshot if you want to check the person's account out! Who doesn't want One It mutuals

Here's the lyrics to Day6 - When you love someone

It was a really hard day today

My heart aches for you

The only thing I can do for you

Is to be next to you, I'm sorry

You're so pretty when you smile

So every time you lose that smile

Even if I have to give my all

I want to give it back to you

I want to cry for you

I want to hurt instead of you

I don't want any scars in your heart

Ever again

When you love someone

So much that it overflows

It's so amazing

Because this is how it is

I hope I can be a little helpful at least

I hope I can be your resting place

I'll try to make you feel at peace

Whenever you think of me during your busy days

You're such a soft-hearted person

Every time you are silently in pain

Even if I have to give my all

I want to make you smile again

I want to cry for you

I want to hurt instead of you

I don't want any scars in your heart

Ever again

When you love someone

So much that it overflows

It's so amazing

Because this is how it is

This is a song for you

I'm singing for you

This is a song for you

I'm singing for you

I'll give you my everything

I want to cry for you

I want to hurt instead of you

I don't want any scars in your heart

Ever again

When you love someone

So much that it overflows

It's so amazing

Because this is how it is

Happy birthday to our small precious Jallang!
