BECKY POV

I noticed Freen's concern about being bored, but I didn't want to bother her with what she was doing. She sat in front of her computer, and I was feeling unwell, so I sat on the bed and took my phone from her table.

"Hmm, are you bored?"

Not wanting to disturb Freen, I responded briefly, "I'm fine..."

Freen stopped typing, stood up, and addressed me.

"Are you okay? You look so pale."

I stopped talking and just hugged Freen. She hugged me back but sensed that something was wrong when she realized that I wasn't okay.

"You're not ok. Wait...  She puts hands on my neck "Are you sick? Why didn't you tell me?"

Freen immediately took her phone and called Doctor Venus to check my condition while I lay on the bed with a constant cough.

Freen gently caressed my shoulder and quickly grabbed a towel and cold water to wipe my forehead and neck.

"I'm sorry. I put others first and didn't even notice that you were sick yesterday... And then you drove me. I'm really sorry."

I smiled and touched Freen's cheek as Freen cried in front of her. It was the first time I had gotten sick with Freen, so Freen was unsure of what to do.

"It's okay, Freen. I didn't want to bother you."

"Beck, you're my girlfriend. That's why you can bother me anytime, okay? You're my priority, so don't tell me that."

I held Freen's hand, but Freen had to let go when her phone rang. She answered it, putting it on loudspeaker so that I could hear the conversation.

Hanna: "Freen, how is Ken?"

I listened to Freen and Hanna's conversation, even though my eyes were closed.

Freen: "They're fine now, Hanna. But let's not think about it today, okay?"

Hanna: "Okay. Is Becky there?"

I heard Freen sigh, and suddenly, I felt sad because I didn't expect to get sick.

Freen: "She's not fine right now, Hanna. Becky is sick, so she needs to rest, and she also needs me now."

Hanna: "What? Becky is sick?"

Freen: "Uhmm..."

Hanna: "Okay, okay. Bye!"

Hanna immediately ended the call, leaving Freen in shock. Freen put down her phone and sat next to me.

After half an hour, Doctor Venus arrived and checked my condition.

Freen: "How is Becky, Doc?"

Doctor Venus smiled and patted Freen's shoulder.

Doctor Venus: "She's fine, Freen. Don't worry. She just needs to rest."

I breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Doc Venus's reassurance and took the medicine she prescribed for a quick recovery.

FREEN POV

Doc Venus was leaving, so I walked her to the gate. Suddenly, a car abruptly stopped in front of us, causing both Doc Venus and I to glance at each other.

Doc Venus asked, "Do you know who owns that car?"

"I don't know, Doc," I replied, unfamiliar with the car's owner. After Doc Venus left, I was about to close the gate when Hanna hurriedly emerged.

"Freen, wait!" Hanna called out.

"A new car?" I asked.

Hanna nodded and retrieved something from the back of her car.

"What are you doing here? Where's Pnam?" I asked.

"She'll come later, and the other members will also join us here," Hanna replied.

"Why? What's happening?" I questioned, looking at Hanna in confusion. She glared back at me with a mischievous expression.

"What is it, Hanna?" I asked.

"Freen?! Don't you remember anything?" Hanna exclaimed.

I pondered her words.

Freen: "Is there a special occasion today? Is it someone's birthday?"

Hanna: "Aissssh! You're unbelievable, Freen!"

She hit my head, and I held it in pain, looking at her in shock.

Freen: "Ouch! That hurts..."

Hanna: "That's what you deserve! I should have hit you with a hammer to make you remember the special occasion today."

Freen: "PSSSH! I might get amnesia from what you're doing."

Hanna took paper bags and a bouquet of flowers from her car, and I wondered why she brought flowers.

Hanna: "You still have no clue?"

Freen: "Still nothing?"

Hanna: "You're smart, but why are you so clueless about this? Today is your  monthsary with your girlfriend. Remember?"

I stopped and slapped my forehead in realization.

"What the heck! She's right... today is our  monthsary, why didn't I remember it?!"

Hanna: "So, what are you going to do now?"

"Yes, I'm sorry! I've been preoccupied with a lot of things these past few days..."

Hanna: "Ohh! Hold that flower when you remember it! You're so forgetful, Freen! Forgetting your  monthsary is not good!"

"Ugh! It's so bad... I must have been really distracted. Hmm, I hope I didn't lose my mind. This flower is Becky's favorite, pink roses and tulips. But wait, how did Hanna find out about Becky's favorite?"

Hanna was about to enter the gate when I stopped her, and she looked at me in wonder.

Hanna: "Why?"

"How did you know that these are Becky's favorites?"

She just grinned in front of me.

Hanna: "You may not know, but... I asked Ken, that's how I found out. By the way, I want to say hello to her."

We went inside the house, and I helped Hanna with the paper bags she was carrying. I wondered, how many were there?

Upon seeing Becky lying on the bed, Hanna immediately approached her, touching her forehead and neck.

Hanna: "Did you give her a medicine?" Hanna asked.

"Um, yes, a while ago..." I replied.

"Becky, are you okay?" Hanna inquired.

Becky opened her eyes and looked at Hanna, who was sitting in front of her.

"I'm fine, Hanna. I'll be okay, too. Don't worry," Becky reassured.

"If you need anything, I'm just here, okay?" Hanna offered.

Becky smiled and closed her eyes again for a moment.

"Anyway, Beck, I have something to give you," Hanna announced.

Hanna took out the paper bags she was carrying and handed them to her.

"What is this, Hanna?" Becky asked.

"It's just a simple gift from me," Hanna replied.

Slowly, Becky sat up and opened the paper bag.

"What? Why are you giving me this?" Becky asked, shocked.

Hanna's gift to her was all branded items, which is why Becky was surprised when she saw LV, Prada, Celine, and more.

Hanna just smiled and hugged her.

Hanna:"I haven't apologized to you, I've done a lot of bad things to you before. So, I hope you accept my late offering, but I mean it,"

Becky: "Ah, it's okay, Hanna. I appreciate it. Thank you."

After Becky said that, I handed her the flower to surprise her, and she was surprised and happy to see the flowers.

"Happy first monthsary, baby."

Becky happily accepted it and hugged me. Thank you to Hanna for remembering it. And I made her happy, but I appreciate her even more as my friend.

Hanna: "We're happy, No more fighting, ok! congratulations again?"

"thank you, Hanna, for doing this."
I whispered.

Hanna: "Hey, Freen? Stop staring at me."

"You're crazy! I want to thank you for doing this..."

Hanna: "Nah, it's fine. It's like you're not my friend,"

(Doorbell)

We looked at each other.

"I'll open it, okay?"

As soon as I went out to the gate and opened it, they were there Pnam and Ken, Noey, Erin, and Kade. But where was Hades? Wasn't he going to join us in the celebration?

"Hi, Freen!" Pnam greeted me immediately.

"Happy monthsary to you and Becky, Freen," Kade said.

"Thank you, Kade," I replied.

"Am I late? Happy monthsary to you, Freen," Noey chimed in.

"Me too, Freen. Happy monthsary to you and Becky," Erin added.

They all went inside, each carrying numerous things. I couldn't figure out why.

They immediately greeted Becky, who returned their greetings.

"Thank you for coming here. I'm happy to see you all again," Becky said.

"No matter what time, we're here for you. Just call me, okay?" Erin replied.

I placed the items they brought on the table. They had brought cakes and food, even four cakes in different flavors?

That's fantastic! Becky and I could only need one cake, but it was okay. I was happy that they were here, even for a simple occasion.

"Are you okay, Becky?" Pnam asked.

"She's sick now, but we're here, so let's make her happy today, okay?" Hanna suggested.

"Thank you, guys!" Becky responded.

Pnam approached Becky and ruffled her hair, which caused Hanna to pull her away.

"You know Becky is sick. Why are you doing that?" Hanna scolded.

Pnam: " I'm sorry I just miss her and it's just an encouragement to make her feel better .."

Hanna: "Is that the right way to give encouragement? You're really crazy, you know that..."

"Aissh! That's enough, ok? Later on, where will your argument end up?"

We stopped and began to arrange the food on the table and hang balloons on the wall. It might have been a silly surprise, but at least it was something to show Becky that she was special.

We were happy to eat together. Even though Becky wasn't feeling well, she still managed to keep up with us. We sang so that it really felt like there was a celebration. It was better than nothing, wasn't it?

"Ken? Where is Hades?" Erin asked.

" I don't know? " Ken answered.

""Are you still not talking to Hades?" Kade added, giving Ken a reason to change his expression.

"Enough of that, Kade. Let Ken be."

They let Ken drink and drink alcohol. Until the doorbell rang, prompting Freen to quickly go out to see who the visitor was.

"Hades?" Freen exclaimed, staring at Hades' companion.

"Happy monthsary to you and Becky, Freen," he greeted me as he handed me a bouquet of flowers he brought, while his companion had balloons and food in hand, looking at me awkwardly. I ignored the awkward glances.

"Come in, everyone else is inside."

We entered, and Hades and his male companion followed me, Everyone inside stopped eating and laughing as they looked at us. Ken, on the other hand, showed surprise in his eyes upon seeing that Hades had another male companion.

Hades immediately approached Becky and greeted her.

"Happy monthsary to you and Freen, Becky," he said before handing Becky a single flower.

"Thank you, Hades," Becky replied happily. I glanced at Ken, who looked uncomfortable with Hades' companion. We were all surprised when he approached us.

"Congratulations, Hades. You have found a replacement for me."

Neither of us could speak after Ken said that in front of us.

"And you, bro? Congratulations too." He then handed the alcohol to Hades' companion before leaving the house.

After Ken left, the atmosphere became a bit awkward. River looked at Hades, seeking an explanation for Ken's behavior.

"What was that all about?" River asked.

Hades bowed his head and avoided eye contact, unsure of how to respond. The tension between them was palpable, and it was clear that their pride was getting in the way of resolving their issues.

I felt confused and unsure of how to greet them, knowing that they still had feelings for each other but were letting their pride get in the way. It was a delicate situation, and I didn't want to make it worse.

"Let's not dwell on it. Today is our special day, and we should focus on celebrating," Becky suggested.

Hades nodded in agreement, trying to put the awkwardness aside.

"You're right, Becky. Let's enjoy this moment and not let anything spoil it," Hades said, still feeling uneasy. He decided to break the tension with a smile.

Hades: "I'm sorry if I caused any trouble. I'm just here To celebrate both of you. "

Becky smiled warmly at hades, appreciating his effort to diffuse the situation.

Becky: "No trouble at all, hades. We're glad you're here. Let's all have a good time together."

With that, we all sat down to enjoy the food and celebrate Becky and i's first monthsary. Despite the underlying tension, we tried to focus on the joyous occasion and make the most of the time we had together.

Becky: "Are you okay, Freen?"

I shifted my attention to her while eating.

"I'm fine. I was just worried about the two of them," I replied.

Becky said, "Don't think too much about it. It's our monthsary today, so we should both be happy."

"You're right, Beck. I apologize," I said.

Becky responded, "It's okay, I understand."
