"Hirai!"

I turn towards my open window where the voice came from. I already know who that is.

I walk towards that direction and saw Nayeon inside her room, leaning forwads against her own window across from mine.

I shrug my headphones off. "What?"

Nayeon looks at me as if she's studying me before saying, "You're invited to my 10th birthday party tonight. Mom says."

I didn't understand why she still had to tell me that.

"I'm always invited to your birthday parties," I say. "I've always been since you turned six."

That was four years ago after we moved next door.

I could tell she invited me against her will that time. She always adds, "Mom says," everytime she asks me to come.

"Whatever. Buy me a gift!" Nayeon calls out, smiling charmingly before shutting the window of her room close.

Or maybe it isn't always against her will.

I think she's only inviting me to get more presents.
