the room filled with your giggles as you sported a foolish, love-struck grin that matched his. your hands found purchase on your boyfriend’s shoulders. “hee, what—“

your words were cut off by a sweet but telling kiss to the lips and you took the opportunity to lean your body closer onto heeseung’s.

eventually, heeseung pulled back, the smile still evident on his face and in his eyes as he placed his forehead on yours and murmured “i missed you so much.”

you laughed, breathless. “i missed you more, hee.”

⠀PARK JONGSUNG ꣑꣒

stumbling over his words, jay’d gawk over the sight of you at his doorstep, all bundled up with your expectant arms outstretched for a hug.

his mouth widened and he pulled you closer, placing a small kiss at the top of your hair; you tittered.

“i missed you so much, i don’t know what to say. i didn’t expect you to show up— but i’m glad you did!” he rambled on and on, his eyes locked on yours with his hands resting your shoulders, not even noticing the way you shivered in the cold.

“you’re so cute, jay. but let me in, maybe? i’m literally freezing.” you said.

jay blinked, processing your words. “oh, yes! right, come in, baby.” he ushered you in and you chuckled. “’m sorry, i just can’t—”

“it’s okay, i understand, you dork.” you teased affectionately, pulling on his sleeve. “i can forgive you… if you make me hot chocolate? with lots of the little pink marshmallows.”

jay simpered over you; more than anything, he missed your silly personality, so having it back was like a dream come true.

“anything for you. at least for the next 24 hours.”

⠀SIM JAEYUN ꣑꣒

you whispered a soft ‘shh’ to layla, jake’s golden retriever as you tried to stay quiet in the dark stillness of his apartment, practically shivering with excitement at the thought of surprising your boyfriend.

a few seconds later, the door swung open, followed by a loud sigh as the lights flickered on. jake, initially startled by seeing your figure in the dark, stood frozen, stunned by the unexpected sight of his girlfriend.

you giggled at his expression—wide eyes with a dropped jaw. before another sound could escape your lips, jake ran up to you, sweeping you off the ground and spinning you around, ignoring your squeals of surprise.

after a good minute or so, jake finally put you back on your feet, but his hands still lingered on your waist, holding you close.

“i missed you.” jake sighed into your hair before lifting his head off yours. “when did you even get here?”

you smiled up at him with a shrug. “a while ago.” your fingers toyed with his shirt collar, as you stared up at him through your lashes. “i wanted to surprise you. i did, didn’t i?”

jake squinted his eyes at you before playfully rolling them, laughing. “i s’pose.”

you scoffed, offended and pushed on jake’s chest away from you slightly. “oh please, you’re such a bad liar; you can’t even stop smiling!”

⠀PARK SUNGHOON ꣑꣒

you stepped into your boyfriend’s silent apartment, spotting sunghoon seated on a stool at his countertop, his wired earbuds in.

slowly, you crept up behind him, slipping your arms around his neck and over his eyes, resting your chin on his head. “guess who?”

sunghoon flinched at your touch and shrugged your arms off, seemingly not realizing who you were. “who—”

as soon as his eyes landed on you, however, his furrowed eyebrows raised, his eyes softened, and a shy grin replaced his scowl. “oh, hi.”

sunghoon stood up with a lopsided grin, his hands running through his hair. you didn’t waste a second to wrap your arms arm his waist, tip-toeing to place a grateful kiss on his lips.

as you pulled away, sunghoon’s lips lingered on yours, unwilling to pull away. his eyes traced your face tenderly, making your heart feel heavy.

you scoff playfully and pout. “wow, i fly 12 hours to see you and all i get in return is a few blank stares?”

sunghoon snapped out of his daze and grinned at your antics. “you know i missed you.”

you rolled your eyes. “whatever you say.”

“i did, though! honest.” sunghoon says, poking your side as you yelped before bursting into laughter.

⠀KIM SUNOO ꣑꣒

“sunoo!” you huffed and crossed your arms over your chest. you had planned to surprise him, but it’d been at least 5 minutes since he first saw you, and the only thing he’s done is gawk at you. your arms started to hurt from holding them out for an unreceived hug.

sunoo blinked. “oh! right!” he chuckled sheepishly and quickly grabbed your slightly lowered arm, pulling you into his grasp. “whoops.”

you gently gripped onto the hairs at the back of his neck and gently pulled his face down to yours, connecting the distance between the both of you’s’ lips with a small but expressive kiss.

as soon as you pulled away, sunoo tapped your nose, making you scrunch it. “i missed you. did you really travel, like, millions of miles to surprise me?”

you shrugged and blushed, distracting yourself from sunoo’s gaze by focusing on the stray hairs that lay on his forehead.

“because i love you.”

just then, the comforting silence was disrupted by your giggles.

sunoo scrunched up his brows, “what?” he asks, looking into your eyes.

“you just looked so… stupid standing there, all surprised like that.” you teased, mocking sunoo’s previous expression. sunoo, suddenly very red in the face and pouting, pushed you off him very gently.

“well, don’t blame me, you looked so pretty, i couldn’t help it.” sunoo shrugged innocently, and now it was your turn to get all red.

“okay, whatever…”

⠀YANG JUNGWON ꣑꣒

“hi, you.” you placed your hands on jungwon’s shoulders and tilted his head back to face you, his perplexed expression making you laugh a little.

as soon as he saw it was you, he looked unsure what to do, but it’s a good thing he didn’t have to think much longer, because you promptly jumped onto him, and jungwon reflexively caught you.

“are you really here?” jungwon questioned, a bit dumbly.

you giggled, gripping onto his shoulders as you stared down into his surprised eyes. “i’m literally all over you, won.”

jungwon beamed, “well, still. i can’t believe my pretty girl is back in my arms.”

you couldn’t hide your flustered face, so you decided to do the next best thing: shut your boyfriend up with a kiss.

thankfully, he didn’t mind all too much. in fact, he quite enjoyed the pleasant act of love.

“i missed you, too. a lot!” you admitted, watching as jungwon twirled a strand of your hair with his free hand, evidently not getting enough of you.

“i bet i missed you more.”

you raised a skeptical brow. “nuh-uh.”

“yes, and i’ll prove it.” and with that, jungwon took the opportunity to kiss you again, but longer this time, cupping your face with his hands. the warmth of his hands pressed against yours made you shiver, and you knew, more than ever, that you were glad to be back.

⠀NISHIMURA RIKI ꣑꣒

‘3:04 AM’ read the clock next to riki as he groggily pulled the covers off himself to go grab a cup of water. just before he got up, something — or rather, someone — startled him. a soft breath.

slowly and carefully, he turned around. he double took the sight in front of him with eyes wide like saucers.

it was his girlfriend. physically there, materialized in front of him.

“y/n! wake up!” riki shook you fervently as you groaned, rousing slowly.

“it’s not morning.” you pouted.

“who cares? what— how are you here right now?” riki moved his hands from your arms to your waist, feeling all over you as to make sure you were real and not a fabrication.

you giggled sleepily and laid your head back on his chest. “yeahh…” you slurred your words slightly. “i came back early. surprise.”

“but how?” riki said, still dumbfounded.

you frowned and lifted your head, locking eyes with him. “plane?”

riki rolled his eyes, leaning in to place a soft kiss on your lips to shut you up. “i hate you.”

“fine! i’ll just leave the—“

“no! that’s okay.” and with that, riki threw his arm over you and pulled you back down into bed, forgetting all about his thirst, which was replaced by a sudden gratitude for your presence.
