You wake up to an empty bed, blinking away the last remnants of sleep as you stretch. It's unusually quiet for this time in the morning, and the absence of Leehan by your side makes you frown in confusion. Your mind is still fuzzy from sleep when it hits you: it's Leehan's birthday.
"Of course," you whisper to yourself, a small smile tugging at your lips. You sit up and rub your eyes, already thinking of ways to spoil him.
But then you notice something: the unmistakable sound of clattering dishes coming from the kitchen. You get out of bed quickly, padding down the hallway in your pajamas. The scent of bacon wafts toward you, and as you turn the corner, you find Leehan standing at the stove, cooking breakfast.
"Leehan?" you ask, a bit incredulous. "What are you doing?"
He turns to you with a warm smile, flipping a pancake with practiced ease. "Morning! I'm just making breakfast. Thought I'd surprise you and the girls."
You walk closer, arms crossed, and give him a playful glare. "But it's your birthday! You shouldn't be the one cooking."
He shrugs, casual and calm as always. "I wanted to. It's no big deal. You go sit with the girls. I've got this."
You huff in protest, but he's already back to focusing on the food. "Leehan," you press, moving to his side. "Seriously, let me take over. I want to do something for you today. You deserve to relax."
He shakes his head, shooting you a quick smile. "I'm fine, really. I like doing this. Go sit down; spend some time with the kids."
You roll your eyes but don't push it further. There's something endearing about how he never lets you fuss over him, even on his birthday. "Fine," you grumble, throwing your hands up. "But you're going to let me spoil you later."
"We'll see," he replies with a chuckle.
You shake your head, making your way to the living room where your two little girls are already awake and playing with their toys on the floor. They light up when they see you.
"Mommy!" your oldest, Mina, calls out, abandoning her dolls to rush over to you. Her twin sister, Minji, follows close behind.
"Morning, sweethearts," you say, kneeling down to hug them both. "Did you say good morning to Daddy?"
Mina nods enthusiastically. "He's making pancakes!"
"I know, but it's Daddy's birthday. Don't you think Mommy should be the one cooking?"
They both shake their heads in unison, giggling.
"Daddy's pancakes are the best," Mina declares confidently.
You laugh and ruffle her hair. "Well, you're not wrong there."
A few minutes later, Leehan calls out from the kitchen. "Breakfast is ready!"
You usher the girls to the table, where Leehan has laid out plates of pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, and fruit. It looks amazing, as always.
You sit down next to Mina while Minji climbs into the seat across from you. "Thanks, babe," you say, appreciating the spread.
"No problem," Leehan says, taking a seat. "Dig in."
The four of you start eating, the chatter between bites filling the room with warmth. The girls are old enough to feed themselves, though you keep an eye on them just in case. You take a moment to appreciate the scene: your little family sitting together, enjoying a simple breakfast. It feels... perfect.
After a while, you glance over at Leehan and ask, "So, birthday boy, what do you want to do today?"
He pauses, taking a sip of his coffee before answering. "I was thinking we could have a family day. I don't get much time with you all because of work, and I just want to relax with my girls today."
Your heart swells at his words, and you smile softly. "That sounds perfect."
Mina, always quick with suggestions, perks up. "We should watch a movie!"
Minji nods eagerly. "Yeah, a movie!"
You laugh, knowing exactly what's coming. "I bet I can guess which movie."
Mina grins, bouncing in her seat. "Frozen!"
Of course. You've seen it a million times, but you can't deny how much the girls love it.
"Well, it is Daddy's birthday," you remind them. "Maybe we should let him pick?"
But Leehan shakes his head, smiling. "Frozen sounds good to me."
The girls cheer in unison, and you chuckle, knowing you're in for yet another viewing of the animated classic. "Alright, Frozen it is."
Once everyone finishes eating, you all head to the living room. Mina and Minji race ahead, practically launching themselves onto the couch, while you and Leehan follow more slowly, hand in hand.
"I'm still going to do something for you today," you insist as you settle next to him on the couch.
He squeezes your hand, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Just being with you all is enough."
The movie starts, and before long, the familiar songs and scenes fill the room. You glance over at the girls, both of them completely captivated, and then at Leehan, who seems just as content watching them as the movie itself.
It doesn't take long for the soothing sounds of the movie to lull you into a doze. The comfort of the moment, the warmth of your family, it all pulls you under.
When you wake up, you blink groggily and realize the room is much quieter than it should be. Sitting up, you notice that the couch is empty. Mina, Minji, and Leehan are nowhere to be seen.
"Where'd they go?" you mumble to yourself, standing up and stretching. You wander through the house, checking the kitchen, the hallway, and finally making your way to the girls' room.
When you peek inside, the sight before you makes your heart melt. There, in the middle of the room, is Leehan, sitting on the floor with Mina and Minji. They've pulled out their dress-up clothes, and Leehan is fully participating in the game. He's wearing a plastic crown, a cape made of a pink blanket, and the girls are twirling around him in princess dresses.
You stifle a laugh, watching from the doorway as Mina adjusts the crown on Leehan's head.
"You're the prince, Daddy!" she declares proudly.
"And we're the princesses!" Minji adds, spinning in her gown.
Leehan looks at them both with pure adoration in his eyes. "Well, if I'm the prince, I guess I have to protect the princesses, right?"
Mina nods seriously. "Yes, from dragons!"
Leehan puts on a mock-serious face. "Dragons? Oh no! Where are they?"
The girls giggle, running around the room as if they're being chased by invisible dragons, while Leehan pretends to battle them off with a toy sword.
You lean against the doorframe, watching the three of them with a mix of amusement and affection. This is exactly why you love him so much. Even on his birthday, he's putting the girls first, making their day as magical as possible.
After a few more minutes of watching the playful scene unfold, you finally step into the room. "And what's going on in here?" you ask, grinning.
Minji runs over to you, grabbing your hand. "Mommy! Daddy's the prince, and we're playing princesses!"
You raise an eyebrow at Leehan, who just shrugs, still wearing the ridiculous crown. "I couldn't say no."
You laugh, kneeling down to join them. "Well, it looks like you're doing a great job as prince."
He grins, reaching out to pull you into the game. "Care to join us, my lady?"
You roll your eyes but play along, taking his hand. "Of course, your highness."
The rest of the day is spent in pure joy—playing, laughing, and enjoying the kind of simple, precious moments that make everything worth it.
Later, after the girls have been tucked into bed, you and Leehan sit together on the couch, exhausted but content. He wraps an arm around you, pulling you close.
"Today was perfect," you whisper, resting your head on his shoulder.
He kisses the top of your head softly. "It was, wasn't it?"
You smile to yourself, feeling incredibly lucky to have this little family, to have him. "Happy birthday, baby."
He squeezes your hand gently. "Thank you. For everything."
And in that quiet moment, as the house falls into peaceful silence, you realize that this is exactly how birthdays should be—filled with love, laughter, and the people who matter most.
reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point
seunghan officially leaving riize makes my heart hurt and i didn’t even know them like that :( i just cannot fathom that this is all happening because he had a normal dating life prior to becoming an idol
i also want to add on that the company is also at fault and should’ve done a better job at protecting their artists, they witnessed the relentless bullying and harassment seunghan went thru before and during his hiatus and (to my knowledge) did nothing about it. had seunghan felt safe and protected as an idol under a company as huge as SM, maybe he would’ve felt comfortable enough to stay.
i respect his decision nonetheless but i really really hate that it had to come to this. i hope other kpop companies learn from this situation and do a better job of protecting their idols.
Hello, this is international BRIIZE. Taking into account today's decision about Seunghan's departure from RIIZE, decision which we do not agree with, we have decided to stop any support from our part because we have realized that our opinion is not relevant to this entertainment company. We hope RIIZE has good luck with the support of the Asian fandom only, whose opinions were the only ones taken into account regarding the issue about Seunghan's future.
always fuck everything im glad he left he didn't need to go through all the pain before leaving, i hope he lives his best life achieving things that are bigger than being constantly trampled on by your company and country
even if it's seunghan's own decision to leave - which wouldn't be surprising considering how fucking traumatizing everything must have been for him - it's still fucking sm's fault for throwing him to the wolves and not lifting a single finger to help. he needed legal AND psychological support but all they care about is profit, they don't ever see their artists as human beings.
i'm actually so sad. i've been a supporter of seunghan since sm's rookies. i can't imagine only imagine the burden and guilt seunghan must've felt in the two days he was back. the members being the main reason he came back and wonbin putting out the post last night saying that he and the members wanted him back. they all looked so happy to perform with him in japan next month. literally what do ot6 fans gain from this? they don't care that the members asked for seunghan back, they just don't like he had a girlfriend.
every single bitch who sent and paid for those funeral wreaths in front of sm when seunghan came back, you all have a special place in hell for hating on that man for doing nothing wrong
Why is it that people who you think will be in your life forever seem to disappear and yet people who you meet as like a friend of a friend or peer and think you'll know for exactly one chapter of life become lifetime reoccurring characters like it's so interesting to me
