Is it easy to fall for someone who’s been there your whole life? Yes. Does that mean that dealing with the consequences of it is also gonna be easy? Absolutely not. In fact, life gets ridiculously hard when feelings get mixed up with unbreakable bonds and complicated friendships. However, it’s even harder not to give in to such an alluring fantasy. After all, it’s all in good fun, right?

summary: life doesn't need to be a rollercoaster, it just needs to be simple and comfortable; that's what minho tells himself everyday. meanwhile, yeonjun is all for the thrill of the moment; he's all up for emotion, drama, and pleasure. two very different worlds that somehow intertwine and, as expected, collide in the most disastrous and cliché way possible. what happens when they find themselves infatuated with the same girl? or the ups and downs of a girl just trying to make it through college, with the added drama of two very stupid guys fighting to win her affections...

First of all, I hope you will pardon the liberty, yet more to the point, I beg you forgive me for making you wait this long.
With that finally out of my chest, I'm not sure where to start. Ours is a story that began way before I realized. Still, I am confident enough to say that your presence in my life is, in fact, a turning point; there was before you, and I pray that I never have to experience a life after you.
You're not the first person I've loved, still, it's the first time I feel my love is not some undesired and overlooked nuance. Because I'm not pretending anymore… I can't stand in front of you and keep acting as if yours are not the only eyes I always want looking at me, looking for me, looking after me.
If I have to be honest, then I must start by admitting that I lied to you. The very first time that your lips touched mine, I lied. I said there were no strong feelings between us; that was a lie. The truth is, I was scared of the intensity of my love for you, because I do, I love you.
I love you. Continuously, steadily, certainly, intentionally—I love you. The intricacy and fervor of my feelings surpass any known limit.
You're like my favorite work of art. I've memorized you over and over again; every single detail about you is engraved into the very depths of my soul, and yet, every moment I spend next to you makes me feel as if I'm meeting you for the very first time. You're familiarity woven in waves of astonishment. You're like a whole new color, one that only I can see, one I've loved ever since I could open my eyes.
I see you everywhere, you're in everything. And it's such an intentional impulse.
Loving you has awakened something in me. It has possessed me a need to write you poems and recount each and every one of your features in a canvas that will end up in a museum or maybe even a cathedral, so people will think you were the embodiment of divinity and will worship you half as much as I do. The latter, I can do. However, I am not a poet, so borrowed words will have to do for now: "Loving you feels like my commitment to eternity a long time ago".
You're everything I could ever want and need—the incarnation of all my dreams and desires. You're the only thing I believe in. I'm devoted to you.
So, again, you're not the first person I've loved, but you're definitely the one I'll love for the rest of my days, if you'll let me. So, please, let me.

"Are you having fun, honey?" Minghao's voice breaks through the noise.
You laugh. "Honey?"
"Babe just sounds wrong," he explains with a smirk. "I'm testing something here."
"So we're on a petname basis now?"
"We've been for a while," his arm snakes around your shoulders and holds you closer. "My life belongs to you now, so I think I'm entitled to a silly petname."
Your head falls on his shoulder, getting comfortable. "Ask me out first."
"We're past that," he corrects. "I'm asking you to marry me."
"Not if I have a say in it!" Hansol says from behind.
"You don't," Hao tells him, rolling his eyes.
You stop listening once the bickering and not-so-playful fighting start. They're annoying, and you're way too drunk right now.
"Gentlemen," Ryujin appears in front of you, "this girl owes me a shot and a dance, so you do you, and I'll steal her for a couple of hours."
✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
"I don't like the way they talk about you," Ryunjin admits after reading all of the comments and even texts your former friends left a couple of minutes ago. "You're not their personal bank or some shit. It's insulting that they assume we're here because of some stupid money-related thing."
You sigh. "They weren't always like that. I think this is their way kinda saying they miss me."
"Stop making excuses for them!" Beomgyu complains. "They're bitter bitches. That's it."
"I think they're jealous bitches," Sunoo adds. "Like, it makes sense. Yunjin can't be you, and neither can she take advantage of you anymore. So she's bitter about it."
"I still can't believe this is happening," Beomgyu confesses, his eyes wandering around, as if trying to find a glimpse of a distant memory. "Like, it never would've occurred to me that the mean girl who couldn't even bother to learn my name a couple of years ago, would now be not only my best friend but the reason I get to live the dream."
You scoff. "I am not a mean girl."
"You kinda were," Beomgyu teases.
He doesn't really think you were ever a mean girl. You've always been nice, although a little distant at first, but he enjoys being annoying.
"I guess Yeonjun did one thing right…" Ryujin says, taking a sip of her drink.
Beomgyu's head snaps in her direction. "Is that a Taylor Swift reference?"
✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
Hansol's eyes are starting to feel heavy. He's not sure if it's the alcohol or all of the exhaustion finally catching up to him, but his eyes can barely stay open.
"Are you happy?" Chan asks beside him.
He closes his eyes entirely for a second. "She's happy, that's what matters."
"So you're not sure about Hao?"
"I am," Hansol retorts. "That doesn't mean I don't see her as the little girl who used to hide behind Josh whenever Mingyu was around.
"She's always gonna be a little girl for me, which is why I'm not exactly thrilled about this whole Hao thing. I know it's not gonna happen immediately, but that asshole is definitely dating to marry.
"How can anyone come to terms with that? I'm happy for them, I really am. I'm just not ready to picture a life where she's not that little girl anymore."
Chan snorts. "You need to stop drinking. Dude, you're talking like an old man who's losing his only daughter or some shit. Even if they got married tomorrow, she's not suddenly gonna disappear or be a whole different person." He tries to explain through his slurred words. "She's always gonna need her stupid brothers, and that includes me cause I'm her favorite."
"You are not!" Hansol's whiny voice wears on Chan's patience as he wonders if, out of everything he just said, that's the only thing he's heard.
He agrees, though. Although the most rational part of his brain tells him that nothing's ever gonna change, he knows priorities shift and, sometimes, life puts you in difficult situations.
So, yeah, things won't drastically change between all of you, but he knows they won't stay exactly the same either. Much less now that Josh is gonna be a dad. He accidentally overheard a conversation between him and Dahyun a couple of weeks ago. Chan admits that he felt kinda weird knowing they haven't told anyone just yet, but he understands they're waiting for the right moment, and he respects their decision.
He worries for you, though.
When he met you, he recalls, you were nothing but a spoiled little brat to him. He could barely stand you, and you'd fight all the time. Everyone found it amusing. As time went by and he got to know you a little better, he got to catch glimpses of the real you. Yes, you were a brat, but he was also extremely annoying and trying to mess with you. Yes, you were spoiled, but that was 100% Joshua's fault. You were also kind and caring, and that was all you.
You two grew closer but never stopped fighting. He's always been an only child, so you were like an annoying cousin to him, at least at first. Later on, he found himself thinking about you differently—seeing you under a new light.
You were also his little sister, even if your whole dynamic has always been more like competitive twins who regret not having eaten each other in the womb.
And that's the thing. He is your brother in many ways, the ones that count. But Josh and Hansol, mainly Josh, have always been like a surrogate parent. Over time, your bond has evolved; there's no denying that, but he knows Josh has always been more than an older brother for you. So he worries. Chan is aware that you must already know, but he still wonders…
Lucky for you, you're never gonna have to share Minghao, he thinks as he laughs to himself.

everyone is welcome in hao and yn's home, most of the time they have a guest or two lol
dojoon looooves his aunt and he really likes spending time with hao, but there's clearly a favorite
minghao did ask josh for advice, he was scared shitless of being a bad parent
when yn gave birth, everyone was there for the baby, but josh and hansol were there for their baby
josh is obsessed with bomin family cause he looks at him and can't help but think his baby sister did that little ray of sunshine
ryujin and yn got pregnant around the same time, a couple of months of difference, and had this weird vision of their babies being born at least in the same month
gyu and rei love together now
hyunjin and ryujin eventually moved to paris
eunwoo did move on and is dating someone but still likes to get on hao's nerves
yeonjun is still so game, occasionally dating, but most of all enjoys spending time with the kids
soobin moved to london
josh and dahyun never had another kid
they all come and go but still get together for every holiday to ever exist lol
