~Yating's POV~

We were taking a small break from shooting our music video and I felt hungry so I ran over to my backpack to get a snack. This morning I woke up to a box of random Taiwanese snacks in my room that my members had given me for my birthday so I pulled out one of those to eat. I started to munch on it when Jem walked over.

"What are you eating?" She asked, seeming curious.

"One of the snacks from the box you guys gave me this morning." I replied.

She cocked her head in confusion. "What box?"

"The one with a bunch of Taiwanese snacks inside."

Jem just stared at me, eyebrows furrowed. "I didn't know we gave you something this morning."

I furrowed in confusion. That's when Mia and Axel walked by.

"Unnie." I got Mia's attention. If anybody knew, it would be her. She knew everything. "Did you know about the snack box in my room this morning?"

"What snack box?" Mia asked. There was my answer.

I sighed in confusion. "Never mind."

Mia shrugged and walked away. Axel on the other hand floated around while I sat there in my confused thoughts, munching on my Taiwanese snack. After Jem had left, it was just Axel and I.

"I'm not supposed to tell you but look at the handwriting." Axel told me. "You'll figure out who it's from."

And with that, Axel walked away. I pulled out my phone to look at the picture I took of the box this morning. I thought it was cute and caring so I took a picture for memories, or in case I was allowed to post it on SNS. I zoomed in on the note that was attached to the top of the box that just read 'Happy Birthday Yating'. I was determined to find out who the handwriting belonged to.

After shooting our music video some more, we took another break while they looked at the footage. This was my chance to find the person who gave me the snack box. After trying Donghyun and Ray first, my next victim was E.Z. I found him drawing graffiti letters in the corner on a piece of paper. This was my chance to try out my acting skills.

"Oppa!" I exclaimed as I ran over to him.

He looked at me. "Hello Yating."

I sat down across from him, placing my phone in my lap with the picture still open.

"I'm so glad you have a piece of paper." I said. "Can you show me how to write happy birthday in Korean?"

"My hand writing isn't the best but sure." He said. He flipped the paper over and wrote happy birthday in Hangul for me.

"Can you include my name too?!" I asked, wanting it to be exactly what was written on my box.

He nodded and continued to write my name in Korean after happy birthday. Once he was done, he slid the paper over to me. I turned it to face me and secretly compared it to the picture on my phone. It was definitely identical.

"So it was you." I muttered to myself.

"Come again?" E.Z asked.

I looked up at him, a smile on my face. "Nothing. Just, thank you."
