This very was the exact day Gaku learned about what Ryuu meant as a 'good kid'. It was all obvious. How Tenn especially act and interacts to others. Knowing that he is popular, some fans are respectful enough to ignore his presence, but others just couldn't get the hint. First was while crossing the streets, Ryuu lost sight of Tenn, but soon found him behind and help the disabled woman to give her wheelchair a little push to the other side before the light turns red.

"Kamsamnida~"

The woman got a little flustered when Tenn didn't say anything and just smile with a respectful bow. Gaku found it cute when their center got startled by the woman patting him on the head, not knowing what the bow exactly meant. Second was when they went for lunch in a fast food restaurant and they were curious on what to eat. While they were ordering, Tenn noticed an older woman sitting alone with a cake for herself. The waitress told him that she's there since morning.

He got curious and looks around along when he noticed that she must be waiting for someone in the entrance. Though, minutes turned to hours and they already finish their lunch. Still, the woman was still waiting. He notice that the candle is slowly melting, so he decided to act now. Tenn signed Gaku and Ryuu to come closer and whispered something.

Ryuu spread the plan to the staff members and they agreed in exchange for something from the three members' pockets. Tenn approached the woman and asked whose she waiting. She cautiously answered that her daughter's family promised her that she will attend her birthday since most of the relatives are busy. It might take long, but the food is already getting cold. She spend most of her money for this and it bitters Tenn at the similar memory of missing his twin's birthday for 5 years straight...

Tenn's next words sent the women in tears after that.

"I remember you. You always came in my auditions and has been the only one cheering for me... Heh, it's nice to see you again! Happy Birthday, nana~" Along with the rest. They sang her a happy birthday altogether, including TRIGGER and it was almost an instinct that the other customers are clapping along. Tenn made sure that the woman deserves a better birthday than making her wait for nothing. So while she waits, Tenn made sure that she gets treated like a queen for the day. The woman was so thankful that she hugged Tenn and buried her face in his stomach.

"Is that you, Tenn? Wha—you remind me so much of my g-grandson"

"It's funny... You remind me so much of someone else..."

"Happy Birthday to us, Tenn-nii! My wish is for you to always look after your health and stay like this forever! What's yours?!"

"My wish? It's for Riku to get better soon, so we can eat our strawberry cake together!"

"Waaah!!! Tenn-nii, save some for me!"

The two older members saw how Tenn's pink ruby eyes glistened at the embrace. At the end, the woman receive a call that her daughter couldn't make it since something came up. But to her surprise, her grandson barged inside the restaurant, out of breath before apologizing to his grandma while holding a present.

The old woman was so glad that her grandson took a small time to make it at least and celebrated together, crying. The grandson thanked TRIGGER before recognizing the center as 'Angelo'. Still, he didn't fanboyed and bow down on his knees out of respect. "Thank you for making my grandma's birthday her happiest, hyung!"

"Thank you for making it on time before the candles melt... Enjoy your day together, nana. Happy Birthday~"

"Thank you SO MUCH, Tenn. Thank you for everything. I'll never forget about you!"

With that, they left the restaurant in peace after paying a huge tip for the staffs' efforts. That's not all. Tenn didn't fail to just passed by and ignore other people who are in need. "Umm... Tenn..."
