"The birthday boy is here!" Gyuvin says once Hanbin comes back downstairs. "Let's get this party started."

"Papa! I have a surprise for you!" Yujin rushes over to him, holding something behind him.

"Really?" Hanbin smiles. "What is it?"

"Close your eyes."

"Okay." Hanbin nods and closes his eyes. "What could it be?"

"Here... open your eyes." Yujin gives him something and Hanbin opens his eyes to see a bunny plushie. "Mama and papa bought it for me. I want to give it to you now."

"What? But this must be really special to you, Yujin." Hanbin tells him. He'd always see him with this bunny plushie whenever they'd go visit him at the orphanage.

"Papa, it's yours now. I'm starting school soon. Hold it tight when you miss me."

Hanbin can't help but feel his eyes watering, starting to get emotional. In a few months, he won't be seeing Yujin so often anymore. He really will miss him. "Thank you, Yujin. I'll hold it extra tight." Hanbin picks Yujin up, hugging him tightly.

Zhang Hao watches them and can't help but feel emotional. It seems like both Hanbin and Yujin will be heartbroken in a few months... and Zhang Hao will be, too.

"But what's his name?" Hanbin asks Yujin and puts him down.

"Yujinnie, of course. It looks like me since I'm a baby bunny." He starts hopping around the living room.

"Oh, how cute." Jiwoong says in awe and Matthew agrees.

"Is anyone hungry? We got all your favorite foods, Hanbin." Gyuvin tells him.

"Let's go eat then. Come on, Yujin." Hanbin takes his hand.

"Papa, I want ice cream though." Yujin pouts. "Can I have some please?"

"You should eat food first."

"Please." Yujin keeps pouting.

"Okay-" Hanbin starts, but Zhang Hao cuts him off.

"Yujin, you have to eat food first. You can eat ice cream later." Zhang Hao tells him and Yujin frowns. "That pout might work on your papa Hanbin, but it won't work on me."

"Papa..." Yujin looks up at Hanbin.

"Listen to your papa Hao. You can have some ice cream later, okay? You haven't eaten anything, so you should eat food first."

"Okay."

"Come on, Hao." Without realizing it, Hanbin takes Zhang Hao's hand and walks into the kitchen with him and Yujin as the other guys follow them.

After a few hours, it's finally time for Hanbin to open his gifts since it's getting late and the guys are almost leaving. He sits down while he places the gifts on the table next to him. "Okay... I'll get started with this one first." Hanbin reaches for one of the gift bags and sees there's a letter attached to it. It says it's from Gyuvin. "To Hanbin-" Hanbin's about to start reading it, but Gyuvin stops him.

"No, don't read it out loud. It's a little too cheesy." He says, embarrassed. "Just read it later."

Ricky gets lost in his thoughts. So Gyuvin likes writing letters too? Ricky starts feeling embarrassed just thinking about the time he sent him the letter and got no response.

Hanbin opens the bag to see it's a perfume, so he sprays some on his wrist. "Oh, it smells really good." Since he's sitting next to Zhang Hao, he lifts his hand up in front of him so he can smell it as well.
