"Happy birthday, Jaehyuk-a." I sing-songed as I walk over to where he was sitting on the sofa watching some kdrama. I plopped myself next to him sinking into the cushion.

"I never asked, when's your birthday, Nao?"

"Oh, my birthday is in November. More importantly, I have a gift." I say excitedly pulling out a box from behind me. He opened it and dug through the wrapping before seeing a medium-sized fragrance bottle.

"Thank you." He said reaching over to me and hugging me. "You've been working hard, it so hectic with our debut."

"What's with the PDA so early in the morning." Haruto interrupted coming out of the bathroom pretending to throw up.

"That just sounds wrong." I said getting up from my spot and walking back into our room to get a towel for the bathroom.

17:50

I sat behind the camera as the boys sat at one of the long office tables doing Jaehyuk's birthday live. Jaehyuk was opening the gifts from the members and I nearly cried of laughter when I saw Jihoon's Polaroid of himself but you couldn't beat Junkyus gift of a math book Jaehyuk looked like that kid when he unwrapped an avocado on Christmas.

One of the members got sweets for him and Haruto got up from his seat and passed me some I furrowed my eyebrows but took them nonetheless.

"Haruto the fans are asking what you're doing."  Jaehyuk said to the boy who had just handed me the candy and was heading back to his seat.

"Well, our member has a sweet tooth so I did what any good soul would do."

"Speaking of them I got the nicest smelling fragrance, I will be using it daily." Jaehyuk interrupted.

"How nice." Junkyu suddenly said and everyone started laughing and the moment was gone in the wind.

20:15

Everyone was back at our dorm and I was in the kitchen lighting up the candles on the cake. One of the members turned off the light and I carried it over to Jaehyuk.

After singing and blowing out the candles it was seconds before Jaehyuk had a face full of cake as well as everyone else.

"Why do I feel like I got the most?" I said blowing air out of my nose to get rid of the frosting. The members burst out laughing at the sight of me.

"Nao, you look like a whitewash gone horribly wrong." Jihoon said in between his laughter.

"You're too slow." Haruto said poking his tough out, he didn't have a single spec on him.

Mashiho laughed coming over to me and wiping the icing off my face. "Why are you making that mischievous face?" He asked narrowing his eyes at me. I bring my finger up and wipe the frosting onto his cheek as he stood in shock.

"I was helping you!" He shouted as I started laughing. "I needed to fulfil my urge." I kept laughing and wiped it off but it kind of just smeared.

While everyone was standing around I put the frosting I had from my other hand onto Haruto.

We just stood in silence staring at each other before he started chasing me and I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes. "I'll get you!" He shouted from behind me as I started to do a u-turn towards the members.

I grabbed onto the back of Junghwan and used him as my shield to which he just stood there. Haruto stopped and held out his hand to me with a tissue his other hand pointing to himself to get me to wipe it off.

"No thanks." I chuckle.

"The difference between Nao with Mashiho and Nao with Haruto. Haruto sorry man." Jihoon teased.

"You always make fun of me, it hurts. At least hide your favouritism." The tallest spoke faking pain in his heart and grabbing onto his shirt.

"Totally Haruto, now go eat your cake."

"I just remembered Nao is Japanese, wow." Junghwan says from in front of me.
