"during the times of my life,
the most beautiful moment is now."

- now or never

minha pov

"ehhh wake up," i shook hyunsuk. we literally slept so late the previous night and we could only have 3 hours of sleep. 

his eyes opened slowly and sighed, "what's my schedule today?"

"a meeting for setting of budget for magnum's comeback, then the collaborations and there's approval of finances to be made," i said while pulling him up. 

"i don't want..." he grumbled.

i then ruffled his hair, "get up." he held onto my hand and followed as i pulled him into the bathroom and splashed water on his face, "hurry wash up."

-

the whole day's routine went on and i just dreaded for the end of the day to come. 

because it was a silver boy's gathering again.

"did gon call you yet?" hyunsuk asked as he loosened his tie.

"nope."

"okay, we'll go there by ourselves then," he picked up the car keys and dangled them, making sound when metals clunk together.

"am i off too?" jaehyuk popped his head at the door and smiled.

hyunsuk nodded his head and jaehyuk looked at his watch, "wahh, you're so nice today. are you going somewhere?" it was 6pm and hyunsuk never left work before 10pm, making the jaehyuk and i staying behind with him as well. 

"just meeting my old buds," hyunsuk smiled at the thought of that.

"ahh i see, ill leave then!" jaehyuk waved and left.

-

when we reached the restaurant, we already saw all of them there waiting for us. 

"aye, doesn't mean you're a big boss means you can be the latest," seunghun teased.

hyunsuk pouted, "you all are just early!"

"yea, it's the first time we don't have jihoon or woong an hour late," byounggon said and everyone laughed.

"have yall ordered?" i asked and took a seat beside jihoon.

"nope, is there anything you want?" jihoon shared his menu with me.

hyunsuk then pushed his menu away and put another one in front of me childishly, "she can share it with me!"

i just facepalmed myself at his actions but jihoon played along with him and put his menu above hyunsuk's menu, "no! i shared with her first."

"no, me!"

"noooooo my menu!"

"go away jihoon."

"bleh bleh bleh."

"wow i missed childish fights like this," hyunsuk laughed.

"yea, it brings us back to when we were still trainees," junkyu added on.

"and raesung is still the one filming yall," woong looked over.

raesung smiled behind his phone which was recording everything, "ceo of yx entertainment having childish fights with his artists. we love content like this."

"YAH!" jihoon and hyunsuk shouted together.

these moments were magical. it was as if they debuted and still stayed together. every mate, including myself, would have wanted all 11 of them to debut together. but at least, even if they didnt debut, i'm glad they are all happy in their own paths. 

when they call quietened down after making a ruckus, jihoon nudged my elbow and asked, "so you remember everything now?"

"yea, kind of," i nodded. i remembered everything even the memories before childhood and all the bad events that had happened along the way. i remembered the good times when i spent time with them and my friends and the times when i was with hyunsuk. 

"that's great. also i have another secret to tell you..."

"hmm?"

"i think i've gotten over you? seems about time too."

"yeaa. is there anyone you're meeting now?" i smirked

he scratched the back of his head, "i mean, there is. but i'm still an idol now so i've to keep it lowkey."

"ahh i wish you all the best! introduce her to us when the time comes yea."

"sureee!"

hyunsuk pov

"so i see that everything worked out yesterday?" byounggon swung his hand over my shoulder.

i smiled, "yea, thank you byounggon."

"it's good that yall are happy."

"but we want you to be happy too," i looked at him.

"i am..."

"really gon?"

"i am happy when i see all of you happy."

i leaned my head on his shoulder, "you don't know how thankful i am for you, to have you always being there for all of us. and bringing me together with minha too. i want you to have your own happiness too, you don't always have to be the one taking care of us, we can take care of you too."

"hey hey hey watch your actions, look at her," byounggon changed the topic and pointed to minha who squinted at the both of us. i sighed as he avoided his subject for the umpteenth time. 

"gonsuk still exists!!!!" minha giggled.

"noooo its gonhun," seunghun crossed his arms.

"what about dosuk..." doyoung pouted.

yedam pinched doyoung cheeks, "what do you mean, it's dodam all the time."

raesung sighed, "why are yall shipping yourselves..."

"you're just jealous you have no one," junkyu stuck his tongue out.

"i have noa!" raesung rebutted.

woong then said in a slightly softer voice, "do you think these would have been the ships if we debuted?" the atmosphere then got slightly heavy.

"i mean, we are still getting shipped till this day. and i mean i think we are happy now as it is!" doyoung tried to lighten the mood.

"yea yea yea, let's hurry decide on the food first," byounggon said. he was a master at changing topics.

-

after eating, we went for a drink at the bar opposite and ended up with 4 drunks.

"why is life so hard," junkyu hugged onto the lamppost and sighed.

"that's why we need round twooooooooo," noa tried to pull junkyu up.

raesung sighed, "no more round two, you two can't even take simple drinks."

"whyyyyy... no drink means no home," noa then sat on the pavement.

raesung then carried noa on his back and pointed to minha, "she need to go home too."

i looked at minha as she slept soundly on my back, "yea, i think we'll be heading home first."

"shortie husband..." i could hear her mumble when her head found a place comfortable on my neck. 

i looked at them as they tried containing their laughter. jihoon then burst out, "PUAHAHAH she even calls you short in her sleep."

i furrowed my eyebrows as she moved slightly, "shhh... she'll wake up like that."

"i love my shortie..." she smiled in her sleep. 

i smiled at what she said and saw the rest of them looking at me in envy. "so sweet," i saw byounggon mouth.

"i want a girlfriend too," junkyu hugged onto yedam's leg. 

woong then looked at us, "minha with hyunsuk. who's taking junkyu home?"

yedam looked down at junkyu and sighed, "seems like i have to do it."

"noa?" 

"ill bring him," raesung said with a whining noa on his back.

"and... where's doyoung?" 

"here here here, i'll bring him to the dorms," jihoon pat onto doyoung's back while the latter was squating in front of the drain vomitting.

"okay, we'll part here then?" byounggon said.

seunghun ruffled my hair, "yea, see y'all soon yea."

"yeaa, let's go out more like this," jihoon smiled.

-

when i brought minha home, she was slightly sober and laid in bed immediately.

"yah, you get drunk so easily," i said as i took off my outercoat.

she turned her body away from me and mumbled a few words.

"what did you say?" i laid down beside her with our faces a few inches apart.

"you'll always be there to bring me home anyways," she said as she opened her eyes to only see how close our faces were.

"don't drink without me around."

"mm," she then snuggled in my chest, "turn off the lights,"

i clapped my hands twice, "good night princess."

"suk ah."

"yea?"

"you know what woong said earlier?"

"what?"

"what if y'all debuted?" she asked softly.

"then i guess we could have stood on the stage on more time?"

"would y'all have been happier?"

"definitely yes, in the past. but when i think about it, everyone is still happy now..."

"but some of them still have regrets, don't they?"

she was worried about byounggon... "i mean, it takes time. and i believe that we would all succeed."

"really?"

"yeaa. look at junkyu, he may be taking second lead roles now, but the whole nation loves him and recognises his talents. he'll be main lead soon too."

"you guys are all so strong... suk, i'm so proud of you," she then hugged me even tighter.

"min, thank you for coming back, and remembering everything. and staying with me at the start. and being the one who was stronger and supported us at the back."

"i'm sorry i didn't stay until the end..."

"no, the end is not here yet. the end is when all of us becomes successful, and you will surely be there to see us."
