I woke up and it was already the day of the year I hated the most. I lazily got up and woke up my roommates before getting ready.
"Up earlier than usual, Umi, hm?"
"Ah yeah, unnie. It just happened" I said to Nayeon as she just got out of her room with really messy hair "Your hair is so funny, unnie"
"Yeah it happens every damn morning ugh! Can you please wake up also the others?"
"Sure, unnie"

We were at the company doing our usual routine, currently having the group choreo lesson when Yeona dropped by to see how we were doing and if we were really working.
"Just keep going, Jasung oppa. I'm just here to watch"
"No, the girls can take a break" our instructor said.
"Oh ok and oh right, happy birthday Umi" she said smiling.

Oh no...
No no no...

"It's your birthday?!"
"I thought it was in May?"
"Unnie isn't it in 3 months?"
And here I am loaded with so many questions.
"Stop please!" I said breaking down on my knees "Yes. It's my true birthday... And I hate it..."
"Unnie..."
"I- I was adopted, Ok?! I was adopted... Konon, Riki, and Misora aren't my siblings"

"Their parents took me in after mine died in an accident when I was 7 months old and Konon was like 4..."
Everyone went silent for a while before I felt multiple arms hugging me.
"We're so sorry, Umi" Yeona said.
"I'm sorry too... I shouldn't have reacted like that" I said calming down a bit.
"Don't be, unnie. We didn't know and you were overwhelmed by us. It's our fault" Minah said.

"But it was time that you knew"
"Your birthday is on Valentine's Day?!"
"What a romantic"
"Umi, one last question... Do your siblings know?"
"Only Konon... Talking about the devil" I said showing my phone ringing with Konon's ID on the screen.
"Go answer it" Eunwoo said.
"Can I?" And everyone nodded.

"Took you a while to pick up your phone, Hm?"
"So you really did memorize when my breaks are?"
We both went silent for a while before she muttered something.
"Happy birthday, Umi..."
"Thank you, Konon"
"What happened? You don't look good"
"The girls found out that it was my birthday and I ended up telling them the truth"

"Oh... Where are you now?"
"I'm by the lockers, why?"
"Just curious. Mom and dad sent you a gift and so did I, it said that the delivery was already signed today"
"Oh thanks, I'll check by the main lobby if anyone left it there"
"Bye bye Mimi. Take care"
"You too, Konon, and say hi to mom, dad and Sola" I looked up from my phone and I saw someone standing on the other side of the room.

Well, shit- today is really a bad day, Hm?

"Uhm hey, oppa?" He didn't move "H-how long have you been there?..."
"It's your birthday?"
"Ah yeah" I said scratching the back of my neck.
"I guess these are what Konon was talking about" he said giving me two packages.
"Oh, thank you"
"I was going to leave them in your locker but you were here already"

"Everything good? You know you can talk to me, it wouldn't be the first time" he said letting a small laugh with his usual sweet gecko smile, as I also let a small laugh.
"So? What's going on in there?" He said pointing to my forehead.
"Well... First of all, do not tell Riki" and he nodded in response "I'm not his sister"
"I figured it out" he said as we sat on the couch of the trainee lobby.
