Why do people love parties so much? It is Jaemin's father's birthday today. Only close friends were attending the party, due to the incident happened at the last party, the security were strong.

They cut the cake and everyone gave gifts to him. Certain pricey gifts have been given. Like Hana said Uncle Na ended up loving the antique watch that Hana and Jaemin bought. Jaemin was quite pleased with his father's reaction.

"From now on, whenever I pick a gift for someone you'll come with me." Jaemin took a sip of his wine.
"Didn't I tell you he'll love it. You didn't believe me." She took a step back to keep a distance from him.

"Nana... " A high squeaky voice was heard, even before they could turn, a girl suddenly hugged Jaemin making him lose his balance. He slightly hugged her back and placed his glass on the desk beside.

"Nana, It's been so long since I saw you, I really missed you." She pouted, trying to look cute. She hasn't even taken the trouble to look at Hana.

"Hana."
"Uncle Na." Hana smiled, looking at him.
"Can you spare some time for your uncle?" He asked.
"Definitely." Hana said, walking towards him. But, Hana couldn't get that girl out of her head.

"I heard you picked this watch." He said gesturing to his wrist.
"I just helped him." She smiled sipping her orange juice. She's not a drinker, drinking is something she hates.

"I like it a lot."
"Glad you liked it Uncle."

He grabs a box from the side of the table and places it on her hand. Hana gave him a questioning look.
"Open it."

She opened it, and there were wooden bookmarks in that box. It seemed unbelievable and beautiful. A smile appeared on her face, she slowly grazed it using her hand and looked at him.

"That was bought years ago, on your tenth birthday. Your Aunt Na looked everywhere to get you that. But, she wasn't able to give it to you." Hana felt sad. Aunt Na was no different than her mother. Look, how carefully, she picked the gift.

"It took a long time to reach you."
"I'll let her know I liked it uncle." She said smiling at him. "I think men in Na family likes to gift someone else on their birthday." She said brightening the mood. Uncle Na laughed along with her.

"Something seems to bother you, Lee Hana." Chenle sat next to Hana who was sitting alone in the corner of the room like she always does. Renjun left the party early saying he has something else to deal with.
