Around midnight, Ming leaves the gang silently who are busy talking with each other while Forth is struggling to bond with his son. He gives a knowing look to Beam who busies the rest with some discussion while he silently goes back to the kitchen. He asks the chef to bring the cake and is delighted to see the beautiful cake. The chef helps him light the candles while he feels excited to surprise his hubby. After preparing everything, he thanked all the workers for their support and help and everyone appreciates the gesture.

Ming requests one of them to switch off the light for a few minutes and requests another to help him lead to the dining area without falling. The rest nod and work accordingly. He knows he has to work fast as Thorn will get scared in the dark. So, before his baby cries, he has to go back, but a part of him is at rest knowing that his family is out there to calm his baby. The helper comes back telling him that he switched off the light while the other led the way for Ming towards the dining area.

On the other hand, everyone was busy discussing Forth's house changes when the light goes off suddenly. They all panic while Forth shoots toward Thorn and carry the baby close to him. He tries to search for Ming, but the darkness doesn't help. Park asks them to calm down as he will go and check while Pha suggests them not to shout as Thorn might cry. Wai calls for Ming, but panics on not hearing his friend's voice. Before anyone could understand, they notice someone coming their way.

Forth holds Thorn tight and notices something like candles walking towards him. Before anyone could say anything, the lights turn on and they all see Ming holding a cake in his hands with helpers on his side. Ming sees their confused faces, but avoids them and stands in front of Forth. He starts singing happy birthday to his hubby while the helpers join. Realization dawn on the rest and they also join Ming to wish Forth who is in tears seeing the surprise.

Forth had no idea that it is already his birthday and the sudden turn of events earlier followed by this light out blanked his brain completely. Everyone cheers up after the singing while Ming pecks Forth and asks him to blow the candles. Forth gives a teary smile and blows the candles. Everyone clapped while Lam helps Ming to place the cake on the table. Forth grins when Thorn looks at him with his doe eyes while in his embrace. Thanks to the light out, his cub finally went to his arms without showing his glare. He pecks his forehead while Thorn is busy drooling over the new thing placed in front of him.

Forth cuts the cake and feeds Ming and Thorn. He feeds the rest as they take turns to wish Forth. Ming suggests to the chef if he could cut the rest of the cake and distribute it to all including the workers to which the latter nods. They all enjoy the cake while Thorn tries to grab Forth's arm to get the cake. Forth is in awe seeing Thorn's struggle and feeds him more cake. Everyone adores the sight while Ming is overjoyed. Beam tells Forth that Ming wanted to surprise him on his birthday since he went to the hospital.

Forth feels blessed on having such a great life partner who made his every day so damn special. Beam smirks while Ming understands what was about to come. He gives him puppy eyes while Beam ignores it and tells Forth that Ming prepared the cake himself despite the doctor's order to rest and how the nong convinced him for the permission to do it. Forth looks at Ming with squinting eyes who give him an innocent smile in return. Ming, in his defense, tell him that he wanted to do something for his husband, so he made the cake and arranged a small party for the next day. He also tell them about inviting their parents too for a small birthday party tomorrow with Beam's help. He looks at Forth unsurely to know if he did the right thing.

Forth chuckles seeing Ming looking like a scared puppy. He hugs him and thank him for making it so special. He tells Ming that he didn't have to do so much for him as his presence was enough to make his life special. He doesn't like the idea of a party as it will tire Ming further, but can't break his wifey's heart too. The rest of them tease the couple while ForthMing feels shy over their friends' comments. Beam tells them that the oldies will join them tomorrow to which the latter nods. Lam questions about their stay to which Beam informs that they all plan to return by the night as most of them have preplanned schedules.

Forth suggest to them that he will send over a huge van so that all of them can come together as it will be more convenient. Park nods and assures him that he will arrange everything. Lam gives Ming a warm hug. He is so happy for his bestie to find such a lover who does so much for him. He caress Ming's hair while Ming embraces the warmth from the ice king. It's not every day that you get to see the soft side of Lam. This time, even Park and Forth don't stop them and adore them.

Forth chuckles and looks down seeing Thorn trying to get out of his hug and reach the cake. He settles him back in his hug and starts feeding the little monster with treat who is delighted on getting the royal treatment. Kit asks Beam for all the arrangements as they all want to help, but Beam tells that Ming is the one who decided to take charge of it. Even after much pleading, he didn't let anyone help. Ming hides behind Lam when the rest glared at him. Forth gives Thorn to Yo who happily shifts at the site of more cake.

Forth hugs Ming and tells him that he has already done enough and to let them take care of the rest. Lam and Wai ask the helpers about the arrangements and everything. They all squint their eyes at Ming including Forth while Yo smack his bestie when the chef told him that Ming already planned to cook the whole menu himself followed by the arrangements that he planned to do early morning before anyone wakes up. Ming pouts and tries to save himself, but Forth clearly rejects it. He still didn't forget about Ming's condition and even read the record file that Beam gave him earlier.

Lam asks Ming to let them also do something for their friend as he has already given his hubby such a big surprise. Ming sighs and nods while Pha orders ForthMing to stay out of it as the rest will take care of the party. Forth nods and avoids his wifey's puppy eyes. He knows he will give in if he gives a single glance. He makes his way towards Thorn who is busy munching from Yo's hand. Forth open his hand forward towards Thorn who looks at him and then his hands. After a few minutes of deep thinking, Thorn finally goes to Forth's embrace while the latter gives a satisfying smile. They all finish the dinner with the usual chit-chat. Later, Lam suggests all of them go and take a rest for the next day's party. 

Beam suggests Ming let them take care of Thorn for the night as Forth might need to talk to him in their alone time without Thorn disturbing them. Ming glares at his senior while turning into 50 shades of red while the others widen their eyes after a few minutes when Beam's words sink in and they understand the hidden meaning. Yo, Wai, Kit, and even ParkLam offer to take care of Thorn while giving a teasing smile while Forth glares at them trying to hide his smirk. They all laugh seeing the couple acting like newlyweds while ForthMing avoids each other's gaze. They all leave for their room while ForthMing rushes to their own to avoid further teases.
