The moon hung high in the sky, casting a gentle silver glow over the apartment. Inside, the soft hum of the air conditioner and the distant sounds of the city faded into the background. The day had been filled with turmoil, the pressure of the rumors heavy on all of their hearts, but tonight was different. Tonight, they would focus only on each other.
YoungBok sat on the couch, his legs stretched out, a tired smile on his face as he looked over at Hyunjin and Sherri. It had been a long day, filled with calls from the company, messages from the press, and constant reminders of the world outside their little bubble. But now, they were finally together, just the three of them.
Hyunjin, sitting beside YoungBok, gently reached out and took his hand. He had missed this — the simple touch that grounded him, reminded him of what really mattered. "YoungBok, I'm sorry. I know it's been tough, and I know it's not easy for you. But I'm here now. And I always will be."
YoungBok turned his head, his eyes softening as he looked at Hyunjin. "You don't have to apologize," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "I know. I know you're here. I just... sometimes it's hard to shake the weight of everything going on."
Hyunjin squeezed his hand, offering a smile that reached his eyes. "I get it. But we'll get through this. We have each other."
Sherri, sitting next to Hyunjin, leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder. "We've made it this far, haven't we?" she said softly, her voice carrying the warmth and strength they both needed to hear.
YoungBok smiled at her, his heart swelling with gratitude for the woman who had always been by his side. "Yeah," he said, his voice thick with love. "We've come a long way. And we're not stopping now."
As the night unfolded, the trio spent the evening in each other's company, the outside world forgotten for a few precious hours. They ordered food, played their favorite music, and settled into a comfortable silence, basking in the warmth of their shared presence.
The soft glow of the lights and the aroma of their favorite dishes filled the room. Hyunjin pulled Sherri close, wrapping his arm around her waist, while YoungBok settled beside them, his hand resting on Hyunjin's knee. The closeness of their bodies, the shared space, was a balm for their weary hearts.
After dinner, they moved to the couch, settling in for a movie night — a simple, intimate evening just for the three of them. The movie played quietly in the background, but it was clear that no one was really watching. Instead, they spoke in soft whispers, words of reassurance, of love, and of promises for the future.
"I've missed this," YoungBok said quietly, his voice barely audible over the soft music playing in the background. He shifted, moving closer to Hyunjin, his hand resting gently on Hyunjin's thigh. "I've missed you."
Hyunjin turned to face him, his eyes filled with tenderness. "I've missed you too," he whispered, his hand finding YoungBok's and intertwining their fingers.
Sherri smiled, her heart full as she watched them. She had always known how deeply they loved each other, how much their bond meant, but tonight, seeing them so open, so vulnerable — it was a reminder of the strength they had together.
"You two are everything," Sherri said softly, her voice full of affection. She placed a hand on both of their chests, feeling the steady beat of their hearts beneath her touch. "I love you so much Jinnie."
Hyunjin turned to her, his hand reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "I love you too, Sherri. You're my everything."
Hyunjin nodded, his thumb brushing over the back of her hand. "Always."
As the night wore on, the three of them found themselves wrapped in a quiet, peaceful intimacy. There were no cameras, no rumors, no pressures from the outside world. It was just them — their love, their connection, their family.
YoungBok leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to Hyunjin's lips, lingering for a moment before pulling back with a smile. "This is all I need," he whispered, his forehead resting against Hyunjin's.
Hyunjin chuckled softly, his arms tightening around him. "Me too. Just us."
Sherri leaned in and kissed Hyunjin on the cheek, her heart overflowing with emotion. "Just us," she repeated her voice full of love.
In that moment, everything felt right. The world outside could wait. The rumors could wait. They had each other — and that was enough.
The movie played on, but they no longer cared about it. The only thing that mattered was the warmth of their bodies pressed together, the feeling of their hearts beating in sync, the quiet whispers of love exchanged between them.
They stayed that way for hours, talking, laughing, and holding each other, their love a quiet but powerful force that no one could take away. The night was theirs — a beautiful, perfect night.
As the night finally came to a close, they stood up, and Hyunjin reached for Sherri's hand, pulling her into a gentle embrace. "I'm so grateful for you," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
YoungBok stepped up beside them, wrapping his arms around both of them. "We'll always be together, no matter what."
Sherri smiled, her heart full as she stood in the warmth of their embrace. "Together, always."
And in that moment, as they stood there in the quiet of their home, they knew that no matter what the future held, they had each other — and that was all they would ever need.
