Ahyeon walked into the living room, confused. Sejin – ah, Keun Sejin – had texted him to come quick

COME QUOCK
Where? Is something wrong?
living room
Sejin – the hyung – stood at a short distance from the couch. He looked the same as usual, but there was a slight glimmer in his eyes, like he was looking at something unusual. Ahyeon’s eyes followed his gaze to land on… Park Moondae. Asleep on the couch.
...This is unexpected.
Chungwoo’s voice put Ahyeon’s thoughts into words as he pushed some of his still-damp hair back, making him startle.
It-It really is…!
Moondae’s phone lay on the floor, Ahyeon assumed it had fallen out of his relaxed hand. He couldn’t quite remember the last time he’d seen Moondae actually sleep for a good, long night. Today had been their first day off in the midst of a grueling post-album-release schedule. Everyone was excited about it, sure, but it was also exhausting. Ahyeon was glad he had it better than someone like, say, the hyung Lee Sejin. His stamina had built up during all his years as a dance student.
Hyung! [Are you filming something?]
Chungwoo shushed Eugene lightly, not wanting Moondae to wake up. He’d heard the rumours of Moondae’s horrible sleeping habits during their Idol Inc. days, but seeing them in person had taken some getting used to. He did reprimand him occasionally, but he knew Moondae was aware of his own limits.
Sejin was filming the sight – half as blackmail, half for himself. Moondae’s lips were slightly parted, and without his usual Tibetan Fox expression, he looked younger than usual. Carefree, for once. Like not accomplishing his goals wouldn’t insta-kill him.
Ah, Eugene-ah, do you think our Loviewers would like this video~?
[They will!] But Moondae-hyung won’t
What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him~
His room… We should- He might c-catch a cold, um…
Ahyeon trails off, a bit bashful.
Our Ahyeon-ah is so sweet~
Eugene’s eyes lit up mid-chew. He put his bowl of popcorn down, nodding as he swallowed. Should we draw on his face!?
Don’t!
Sejin scolded. We’re in the middle of promotions, marker stains don’t wash off easily-!
Keun Sejin snickered. Eugene-ah, what's with the popcorn?
Cha Eugene looked a bit disappointed at that. Oh, [Raebin and I were gonna watch this movie on Netfler, the superhero one!] He’s never watched a Limestone movie before, can you believe it!?
Eugene looked incredulous. The faint music that had been escaping Raebin and Ahyeon’s shared room stopped, and Raebin emerged as though he sensed his name being spoken.
Cha Eugene, did you get everything rea-… Um. Why is everyone in the living room?
Sejin’s eyes travelled from the TV, to Eugene, then Keun Sejin, then Raebin, before finally landing on Park Moondae’s sleeping form. ...Should we move him…?
he asked, hesitant. Probably,
Chungwoo answered. Should I pick him up?
Keun Sejin laughs again. The video’s gonna be all blurry now, but he doesn’t really care. It’s not like he planned on posting it for the fans anyway. Great idea, hyung~ I’m sure you won’t need any help doing that.
Chungwoo chuckled as he knelt down next to the couch and gently lifted Moondae up, careful not to wake him. Sejin had already opened the door. Once they’d confirmed Moondae was properly tucked into bed, they left him to rest unbothered. Eugene put his movie on the TV, fighting over the remote with Raebin. The other members joined the two maknaes to unwind.
