The next day comes around and it's Hanbin's birthday today. It's the weekend, so neither of them have college, but now how is Zhang Hao supposed to decorate the house for the birthday party? Zhang Hao paces back and forth in his room, not knowing what to do. After it seemed like they were going to kiss yesterday, they were really awkward with each other after that.

He's also going to feel guilty right now, pretending not to know it's Hanbin's birthday today. Hanbin hadn't told him when his birthday was, so he'd get suspicious as to who told him. Zhang Hao takes a deep breath before walking out of his room. He ends up getting an idea and looks around for Yujin, but he's not in his room.

He must be outside playing. Zhang Hao goes downstairs and slowly starts to open the front door, trying not to get caught by Hanbin. "Zhang Hao, are you going somewhere?" He hears a voice behind him.

Zhang Hao let's go of the doorknob and turns around to face him. "Oh, I was just looking for Yujin. I didn't see him in his room. He's outside, right?"

"Oh, he's in the kitchen." Hanbin points at him and Zhang Hao turns to see Yujin's sat in the table eating breakfast.

"Good morning, papa Hao!" Yujin waves at him and smiles.

"Good morning." Zhang Hao waves and smiles back at him before turning back to Hanbin.

"I made you breakfast, by the way. I'm not sure if you already have plans, but do you want to go out somewhere with me and Yujin?"

Zhang Hao feels so guilty right now. It's Hanbin's birthday and he woke up early to make breakfast. Now Hanbin wants to hang out with them, but Hao has to decline his offer. "Oh, I'm not feeling too well today." Zhang Hao fakes a cough. "But you two can go ahead, it's okay." He coughs.

"What? But how can we leave you alone when you're sick?" Hanbin places his hand on Zhang Hao's forehead. "Does anything hurt?"

"No, don't worry. I'll be fine. It's just a little cough, but I don't really feel like going out, I'm sorry. You two can go ahead, really." Zhang Hao tells him, trying to convince him to go out so he can decorate the house.

"It might just be a little cough, but what if you feel worse when we're gone?"

"Then I'll just call you, okay? Why don't you take Yujin to the park? He might see his new friend again."

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Hanbin asks him, making Zhang Hao's heart flutter. Why does he have to be so caring? He had almost forgotten to fake a cough.

"I'll really be okay." Zhang Hao nods and fakes a cough. "Now go have fun at the park."

"Okay, but eat your breakfast." Hanbin tells him. "And I have some medicine in the bathroom cabinet. Take it so you'll feel better."

"Yeah, don't worry, I will." Zhang Hao nods.

"Yujin, come on. Want to go to the park?" Hanbin walks back into the kitchen.

"Yes!" Yujin jumps up and down. "Binnie, we're going to the park again! You might see HaoHao."

"Have fun, okay?" Zhang Hao picks Yujin up and kisses his cheek. "I'm sure you'll make some new friends today."

"You really think so, papa? I like making friends."

"I'm sure you will. If you run into your friend from yesterday, make sure to ask him what school he goes to. He might be your classmate soon."

"Okay, I'll ask him." Yujin smiles. "Papa Hanbin, let's go!" He quickly takes his hand, starting to drag him towards the front door.

"Make sure to eat your breakfast, okay?" Hanbin asks Zhang Hao. "And call me if you need anything."
