It'll be Chunta's birthday soon... What should I plan? I'm not very good at things like this... Oh! Maybe I could ask Sasaki-san or Ayagi for help? No... Why Ayagi?

"CUT! Good work, everyone!" The director shouts, using the clapperboard.

"Takato-kun, should we head out now?" Sasaki says, pointing at the door.

"Yeah, one second." I reply, quickly picking up my bag and script off of a chair.

"You did so well! As usual for someone like you." Sasaki and I chat while walking to the car. I hear him say the last part quickly and laugh slightly.

"Thank you, but you're just flattering." I state.

"No, I'm not. Really, it was like... It felt so real! You always tend to do that, of course." He chuckles.

"Yes, It's my job, and I must do my best." I smile.

I open the car door and settle inside. "Sasaki-san, I have a question..." I utter. He looks at me through the rearview mirror and raises an eyebrow.

"Yes?" He answers.

"So. . . What do people usually do when it's someone's birthday? Cake, right?" I say, answering my own question.

"Hm? Yeah, cake, surprises, gifts, balloons, cards, songs." He goes on.

"But how do you know what they want without making it obvious it's for their birthday?"

"You can ask them secretly or close people that know him? But make it casual if you ask them directly." Sasaki smiles.

"Really? Okay then, thank you." I feel more at ease with this new information he gave me.

"Haha, sure."

I think about what items and things Chunta would like. All he likes is— shit I don't even know. I gaze outside the window, watching a couple pass by wearing matching outfits and holding hands all cute like. Hmm? Maybe that'll work? No! I can't do something like that! I grab my phone and search a few things up.

"How to make a cake?"

"How to plan a surprise?"

"Birthday gifts."

"Takato-kun?" I hear my manager say.

"Hm?" I lift my head.

"But make sure it's coming from you and out of love. They'll appreciate it." He puts into words.

"Huh? Oh... right." I smile, my eyes slowly making their way back to my phone. "Wait, Sasaki-san, can we stop by a grocery store, please?" I look up and ask nervously.

"Hm? Yeah, sure."

I smile again, feeling relieved, and I continue searching for ideas on my phone.

"Thank you. You may go now, I'll take a taxi home." I say and wave him goodbye.

"Okay then! Be safe!" He replies, driving away.

I enter the grocery store and pick up a basket. I stare at my phone, memorizing the things I'll be buying. Chocolate or vanilla? I'll text him.

Takato:
Chunta, which do you prefer? Chocolate or vanilla?

Chunta:
You, Takato-san!! ♡
PLEASE come to my house!

Seriously? What's with him. . .

Takato:
No, you dummy, I said chocolate or vanilla.

Chunta:
Aw... Okay then, chocolate.

Chunta:
I love you!!

Now that that's done, I can get the ingredients I need! I put my phone away and walk over to an aisle, and pull out the first box of chocolate cake mix. I flip it around so I can see the ingredients. Eggs? Do I have eggs at home? Probably not...

I head over to the cold aisles and pick out a good-looking carton of eggs and stick of butter. Cake mix, check, eggs, check, butter, check. Icing is next. I'm feeling so accomplished, I grin. Everything is going so smoothly. Hopefully, there aren't any long lines, so I have enough time to decorate my place.

I amble further down the aisles and grab a hold of strawberry icing and vanilla icing. Okay!

I look down at my basket to place the icings there. "Huh? Where are the...?" I quickly realized that I hadn't put any of the stuff inside. . . I feel my face starting to flush and swiftly look around.

But I still had the vanilla and strawberry icings in my hands. So, I placed those in my basket and retraced my steps. How... I can't be this stupid. It's Chunta's fault! He's the one who's ruined me. Hopefully, I didn't look like too much of an idiot. . . Plus, they wouldn't have known it was me. Saijou Takato? Pfft, please. (Has the classic disguise on.) I try not to worry too much about it and continue shopping normally.

"Will that be all?" The cashier says.

"Yes, that'll be all." I hand him the cash. He does his thing and then hands me my bag. "Thank you." I say, and take my leave.

I may have gone overboard with the ingredients since I also added other stuff I liked, but I want this to be special for him. I call a taxi and wait. A car soon pulls up, and I get inside.

"Alright? Where to?" She asks.

"To Naka-Meguro, please." I respond. I checked my phone for the time, six fifty-two pm. I have his cake ready, now I just need a gift. Haha... Somehow, I feel excited.

What should I get him?
