~Time skip: 1 year~

A lot has happened since the beginning of my idol career. New albums, near death experience, meeting my future lover, fighting yet growing closer to my friends, meeting fans. I quietly tapped on my first instagram post and observed how much I had changed since then. I know that I'm not longer the same bright and bubbly Youngjae everyone knew. I've grown and learned things, in a way.

I sighed then slid my phone across the couch. "Where's Younghoon...oh..." I heard the door open and watched Hyunjoon come in carrying a bag. "You brought me food?" "Of course not." "You're just like your boyfriend. A jerk." Hyunjoon rolled his eyes then tossed me something wrapped in foil. "Who were you calling a jerk?" "You and your boyfriend." "I'll take it back then." I moved away from him then noticed he was wearing a shirt I've never seen before. "That shirt..." "Oh, this? Chan insisted that I should have it and trust me, I protested. A lot. Sometimes I feel like he sees me as a precious toy to play with."

"Huh...?" "I can't remember the last time we just sat at home and binged Netflix. He's just not listening anymore..." I couldn't help but feel a bit upset that he hadn't spoke up earlier about it. "How long has this been going on?" "Umm...I guess almost a month now..." The sound of the door opening startled us and we looked to see who it was. "Younghoon!" I ran over to him and gave him a koala-like hug. "You're lucky I caught you or else this would've been catastrophic...Oh, hey Hyunjoon." "I'll get going, I'm sure you two want to be alone."

"No, stay. I want things to work between you two. Call him and tell him basically what you told me and how you feel about it." He did as I told him and I sat down on his right side. "Ah, Joon. I was just about to call you. There's this party tonight a-" "Can we just relax at home and just have a casual night together? I hate feeling like I'm a precious toy that you love to play with." Chanhee was silent and it was impossible to tell how he was really feeling. "We can do that...I'm sorry, Joon. Why didn't you..." I had stopped listening as it was close to resolving and focused my attention on Younghoon who was looking at his phone seriously.

"What is it?" "Work. So, don't bother me right now." I looked over and saw a female posing on his screen. He then swiped to another but was male this time. I won't lie, both were pretty attractive. Though, I do get jealous when he works with such good looking people. I sighed then got up to leave the room then noticed Hyunjoon had already left. "Do you want a drink?" "No." I closed the door behind me then felt my phone vibrate. "Oh, didn't expect a call..." I answered then immediately moved it away from my ear. "What the fuck..." Nsfw sounds could be heard in the background which eventually became faint. "Jae?" "You better have a good explanation Seo..."

"Oh, that? Yeah, I'll send someone. And uh, are you two watching 50 shades of gray?" "And how would you know? I thought you've never seen it." I immediately hung up then remembered that I never got my drink. "Oh well. Hopefully Younghoon is done by now." I opened the door and the lights were turned off and a candle shaped like the number 3 burned brightly. "But, there's no one here..." I turned on the light then walked over to the cake. "Hey." I jumped then calmed down as I recognized Younghoon. "Who's cake is this?" "Ours." "Eh?" "You've already forgotten? It's the anniversary of when we first met 3 years ago."

I felt embarrassed as I had forgotten, but it made me feel happy that Younghoon had remembered. "I love you, Youngjae. I'd do it all again if someone asked...because I get to be with you." "Me too." I pulled him into a kiss and I silently wished for us to be together 'til death do us part.
