(skip to sans birthday)

"h-happy b-b-burthday bub-bubba" yeosang smiled

"thanks sangie!" san cheered

"hey guys! happy birthday san" chan smiled as he walked into the arcade, holding a medium sized box covered in printed paper with balloons patterned all over it.

chan's voice alone makes yeosang smile, his presence makes him blush. at the age of seven, most boys have a small crush on their teacher, a girl from class or in a movie. but yeosang has always had this crush on chan. now bang chan, he's nearly fourteen. but he knows about yeosangs little crush, he and his parents find it adorable

"thanks channie hyung" san beamed "i'll take this, you talk to sangie. he's been practicing his talking!" the boy threw a smirk at the boys. earning a glare from yeosang and a chuckle from chan.

"hey sangie, what's up" chan squatted down to the boys level and hugged him

"h-hi ch-channie. i-i gotta g-g-go" yeosang said, pulling away from the hug and running toward the air hockey table where yunho was

seonghwa and hongjoong were behind the two at the party table, so they saw the whole thing. and they were dying of laughter. chan and his parents laughed too. after they were all done laughing they all started to help set up

"i kinda feel bad for sang though" chan said as he help tie a balloon

"why's that?" chan's mom asked

"i don't know, i know he likes me and i don't want him to think anything of it? like when i play around with them and stuff"

"oh don't worry. i'm sure he'll get over it in a couple years, then when he hits your age he'll 'forget' all about it" seonghwa smiled.

yunho and mingi were playing air hockey when yeosang came running over.

"holy cow yeosang, be careful you almost fell" yunho said

"ch-channie hy-hyung is he-here"

this made mingi laughed

"you're too scared to talk to him, just because you like him?" the taller boy laughed

"sh-shut up m-mingi!" yeosang pouted

"just go talk to him yeosangie, it's not like he's gonna kill you... or something" yunho shrugged

"i-i c-cant" he pouted again

"why not? wooyoung talks to changbin hyung just fine, and he likes him" mingi said as he started the game back on again

"i-its dif-different"

"how?" yunho asked

"b-b-because i don't w-want ch-channie t-to m-make f-fun of my t-t-talking" yeosang mumbled.

mingi and yunho stopped. yeosang was never insecure about his stuttering in front of their family friends. so why now?

"sangie, you know chan hyung wouldn't do that. why would you think that?" yunho stopped the game and brought his brother into a hug
