  Annie was sitting down on the dance room's sofa, arms holding her knees while she wiggled left and right.

  She was waiting for her little sister to pick the phone up. It was her 9th birthday.

"Annie!!!"

  The little girl yelled from her bed.

"You just woke up?"

"It's only ten in the morning! I'm a child, I need to rest."

  The older one laughed. How could a young girl say such a thing?

"You're right. Especially today!! You should enjoy your day and do whatever you want! I'm sorry I can't be with you, you know I'd go if I could, right?"

  Her sister slowly sat down on the bed again.

"I know..."

"But hey! I bought you a gift! It should arrive today or tomorrow."

  The girl's eyes lit up with joy once again.

"Really!? Oh my God, thank you!! What is it!? Is it something from where you live? Please say it is!!"

  Annie smiled.

  She had prepared a box with a bunch of Korean snacks, a signed TXT album -  her sister's favorite group -, a pajama set and a fantasy book.

"I'm not going to ruin the surprise!"

  The birthday girl pouted.

"Then I'm not going to tell you who I'm having lunch with!"

  Annie quietly laughed - of course it was with her friends and her parents.

"That's unfair! Tell me!"

"If you won't tell me, I won't either."

  She crossed her arms, sulking.

"Okay, fine, I'll say it after you do."

"Really?"

"Yes!"

  Annie continuously nodded, earning her sister's trust.

"Okay...I'm eating with my boyfriend!"

  Silence.

  Suddenly everything felt like a dream. What do you mean this 9-year-old has a boyfriend?

"Your...your boyfriend?"
