포옹

Younghoon felt that he was walking on clouds. Everyone in the office could see it, even his boss. Chanhee finally decided to find out what was going on with the once always stressed Kim Younghoon. "Yo, Hoon." "Hey, Chan. Need something?" "Yeah, answers. What's got you so happy these days?" Younghoon smiled softly then showed Chanhee his lock screen. "Oh my god, are you gay?" "Gay for Changmin..." Chanhee could see the hearts in Younghoon's eyes and hearts emitting from him as well. "He's hella whipped. I'm envious..." "Oh, don't worry. My work isn't going to suffer, honest." Younghoon showed him his computer screen and he had indeed finished a part of his work.

Younghoon found himself working later than usual as pressing matters had arisen an hour before he was off the clock. He had made a call to Jaehyun and Eric, hoping one of them could stay longer with Yeoeun. Surprisingly, they both had agreed to stay longer. "Hoon, I'm leaving." "'Kay. See ya tomorrow, Chan." Chanhee quietly watched as Younghoon continued to work. "Actually, I think I'll stay and keep you company..." "You don't have to." "I know. I want to though. You're my close friend and I don't want you to be alone." Younghoon motioned for him to grab a seat and move it next to him.

"What? There was an easier way to do it all this time!? My life is a lie." Younghoon couldn't help but crack up at Chanhee's soul leaving his body. "You, the person who knows all the gossip and has dirt on people, didn't know there was an easier way to switch?" Chanhee hit his arm in frustration then got up in a huff. "Chan, I'm just teasing." "I know...I don't like being teased. At least not this way..." Younghoon hummed in response then paused. "You said what now." Chanhee cackled like a hyena at his delayed reaction. He quieted down then looked at Younghoon seriously. "Are you dating Changmin?" "Yeah. Why?" "No reason..."

Younghoon opened the front door and was surprised to hear silence. "Why is it so quiet...?" He changed his shoes then turned on the light in the living room when he arrived. "Surprise!" He was taken aback by their loud voices then wondered what the occasion was. It certainly wasn't his birthday nor did he get a promotion. "What's the occasion...?" "Well, Yeoeun said she wanted to give you a surprise dinner." Younghoon smiled then had a sudden realization. Jaehyun could tell what he was thinking then whispered to him. "We did all the cooking, don't worry."

He was genuinely surprised by how well Eric and Jaehyun had made the food. "Do you like it daddy? I made this myself!" "I love it. Thank you so much." She gave him a hug and they received "awws" from the other two present. "Daddy, when will we see Mr. Ji again?" Eric looked around, not knowing who she was talking about. "Mr. Ji helps Younghoon out with Yeoeun at times. Though, I haven't seen or heard from him lately." Eric nodded in understanding.

"I don't know sweet pea. Mr. Ji is a busy man like daddy." She frowned slightly and lost all her energy. "I like the way he reads stories to me..." He gently stroked her hair and sighed. "I miss him too..." Eric and Jaehyun decided to leave them be and make their way home. "Hey, Jae." "Hm?" "Wanna stop by a ramen place before we split?" "Is this a late night date?" Eric laughed nervously, but didn't give a response.

Younghoon kissed her forehead as he had finished singing her a lullaby. His phone started ringing and he was quick to answer it to keep Yeoeun from waking. "Who's calling so late?" "Sorry..." "Changmin...I, uh...sorry...I just put Yeoeun to sleep so..." "Ah, it's my fault then. I'm sorry." "It's fine. What did you want to tell me?" "Just wanted to do some late night talk. We're more honest when sleepy." Younghoon could immediately tell he would have one hell of a night.
