A/N: YAY! Happy chapter! :D Yeah, I know I should write happy instead of angsty… but you know, in my world, happy almost always leads to angsty (hint hint) and angsty may lead to happy. :D Now, with that said: enjoy!

~February, 2011~
It’s Kyuhyun’s 23rd birthday. Han Geng celebrates this with them, even if he’s no longer part of Super Junior. Kangin doesn’t come, he can’t come, seeing as how he is now serving his mandatory 2 years in the army.
--
Surprisingly, after Han Geng left Super Junior, they found out it was okay, it was okay that he was gone because they were still friends and Han Geng was happy now, and that’s what mattered, right? Hyun-Ah and Jaekyung moved out of the Super Junior dorms and got an apartment, funded by SM. Han Geng lives with them, because he certainly can’t live at the Super Junior dorms anymore. Kibum has also moved in, just because of convenience. Their apartment is situated quite close to the Super Junior dorms, so visits are easy to make.
--
The doorbell rings, and Kyuhyun, all dressed up in a black suit and shiny dress shoes, opens the door. Hyun-Ah, Jaekyung, Han Geng, and Kibum stand patiently in the doorway, beaming.
“Happy birthday, Kyuhyunnie!” Hyun-Ah hugs him, pulling him down and kissing him lightly. Kyuhyun grins as they part (and what a cute, childish grin it is!) and ushers them into the room. Everyone’s dressed up, the two girls in cute, short dresses and the men in suits of varying colors.
They’re going out for dinner this year, so they can’t get blamed for anything. It was definitely an enjoyable birthday, Kyuhyun thinks contentedly by the end of the night.
--
Exactly one week later, they celebrate Han Geng’s and Siwon’s birthdays together. It’s Siwon’s 25th and Han Geng’s 27th. Leeteuk is almost 28 by this time, and is starting to seriously consider settling down. Most of them are, to be honest, especially those who are in established relationships. They’re in their twenties, all of them, and Super Junior’s inevitable disbandment is fast approaching. They know that some of them will continue to work with SM, and some will continue on to pursue their own interests. But they’ll keep in touch, just like they promised. And meanwhile, they’ll cherish and enjoy the time they still have… together.

20. It seems like just yesterday when she was 9 and in Korea all alone. (Well, she met Han Geng on the first day, but she was still practically alone.) Now she has a family here, and people who love her. It has been 11 long years, filled with joy and sorrow; success and failure; determination and pain.
--
They go out in a huge group, 2PM, Super Junior (minus Kangin), Han Geng, Henry, Zhou Mi, Miyoung, Junghwa, Jaekyung, Hyun-Ah, and Eunjae. They book a restaurant, a fancy one that can seat all 26, and end up commandeering the entire restaurant.
It is, once again, a joint birthday party for Taecyeon and Hyun-Ah, but everyone else knows something that Hyun-Ah doesn’t.
--
It’s near the end of dinner, and suddenly everyone goes quiet. Kyuhyun slips out of his seat, taking one of Hyun-Ah’s hands and falling to one knee. Hyun-Ah looks down at him with wide eyes, surprise quite evident in those dark eyes of hers.
“I love you,” he says, “I’ve loved you for so long now. Will you let me continue to love you for the rest of our lives? Will you marry me?” He opens a small box, and the light glints off a slender ring made of white gold, set with a single diamond.
Hyun-Ah seems frozen, one hand to her mouth and tears forming in her eyes. Kyuhyun smiles gently, taking the ring out of the box and setting the box aside. He slides the ring slowly on her ring finger, and this seems to jolt her out of her shocked state. She squeezes his hand gently, looking down at him with eyes filled with too many emotions to express.
“Kyuhyun…” She whispers, cupping his cheek with one hand and pulling him to a standing position, standing up herself as well. Kyuhyun leans down to kiss her, soft and loving. At that moment, to them, no one else exists; it’s just them in their little world. “I love you so, so much. Of course I’ll marry you, Kyu. I’ll spend forever with you… gladly.” She whispers in the unexpected silence of the restaurant.
Jaekyung is the one to break the silence, cheering. The newly engaged couple breaks apart, suddenly suffocated with hugs and congratulations; and they can’t stop smiling.
Kyuhyun holds Hyun-Ah’s hand possessively after that. He’s delighted, and it shows - it’s his childish, open-mouthed smile again. But it’s such a cute smile. The servers bring in a huge cake (there are 26 of them, after all!) and Hyun-Ah takes the knife, making the first cut. She laughs, handing Taecyeon the knife after that. Taecyeon cuts and plates the cake, and Hyun-Ah serves it around to everyone.
The dinner lasts until late at night, and many of them choose to walk home, drunk as they are. Hyun-Ah helps Kyuhyun and Hankyung home, laughing quietly as they stagger. Sungmin and Jaekyung are both relatively sober, enough to walk steadily at least. Yesung leans heavily on Ryeowook, causing the smaller man to stumble slightly.
“Let’s get everyone home.” Hyun-Ah says quietly, smiling peacefully. They all stay at the apartment that night, passed out in various stages of drunk in the living room. Hyun-Ah is the only one who hadn’t drunk that night, and she takes the responsibility to makes sure everyone is covered up, preparing pain medications for the next morning.
--
The next day is hectic. As usual, paparazzi swarm around them, and cameras catch the light glinting off Hyun-Ah’s left hand. Gasps fly around, and cries of both jealousy and excitement ensue. Cameras press in on all sides, demanding answers to questions.
“When did this happen?
“Who are you engaged to?”
“When is the wedding?”
Hyun-Ah smiles slightly, shrinking back from the frightening reporters. Kyuhyun notices this and takes her hand, stepping forward.
“Hyun-Ah is my fiancée.” He announces firmly, hoping to ward off the reporters. It works, to some extent. Hyun-Ah beams up at him, threading her fingers through his.
“Kyuhyun ssi, when did you propose to her?” One persistent reporter shouts.
“Yesterday, on her 20th birthday.” Kyuhyun responds, smiling down at Hyun-Ah.
“Oh! Then, happy birthday, Hyun-Ah ssi!” Another reporter cries.
“And congratulations to you both!” Someone else yells as they push their way through the crowd.
“Thank you!” They chorus together, fighting to catch up with the others.
--
“I’m leaving for the army.” Leeteuk announces later that week, and the room is filled with mutters.
“Why, umma!” Hyun-Ah cries, face twisted in sorrow.
“Everyone has to, and it’s better for me to get it over now, while I’m still… younger.” He says, laughing slightly.
“If this is what hyung really wants, then we’ll support you.” Ryeowook says tearfully, clutching onto Yesung’s hand and sniffling.
“It is, Wookie. Thank you.” Leeteuk smiles bravely. Everyone in the room jumps on him, wishing him good luck and kissing or hugging him.
He is gone by the next week.
