ARTICLE TITLE: Birthday Party Organizers — Hire Us Now!

DRAFTED TEXT: It's my boyfriend's (holy shit, I have a boyfriend, can you believe this?) birthday this weekend. Because of that, I had to find out just how expensive balloons are and also that you can hurt your lungs by blowing up balloons. Alas! My friend and I are considering starting a business now. Commissions are open! Just bring a balloon pump. Please.

"Are you sure your leg is okay? I can call a taxi."

"I'm fine, see?" Soo Ho pulled away for a moment, lifting his previously-injured leg and bending it at the knee before straightening it again. "All good. You heard the doctor. Let's go now before we're late to my surprise party." Soo Ho wrapped his arm around Y/n's shoulders again as they walked further away from his home. "Which, by the way, is not a surprise if that's all you and Young Yi can talk about. And in front of me."

"Hey, we never claimed it was a surprise! We're just being nice and throwing you a small party." 

They walked down the street, Soo Ho's arm retreating in favor of holding her hand. Y/n had recieved a message from Young Yi about ten minutes before that she and Si Eun were done with the set up and were waiting for them. After that, she'd gotten a notification that Young Yi had posted a picture on Instagram, which was just her posing in front of the birthday set up. 

Soo Ho scoffed upon noticing. ''This girl is unbelievable, acting like it's her birthday party.''

Y/n moved her phone away. ''Don't look!'' Then she furrowed her brows at him. ''I thought you didn't even want a party.'' 

Soo Ho rolled his eyes. ''I mean, since you already went through the whole trouble, might as well enjoy it.'' 

When they arrived, only Si Eun was present. He greeted Soo Ho and wished him a happy birthday, then looked at Y/n. She, in turn, was looking around the room. ''You guys did a great job! Where's Young Yi, though?'' 

Si Eun blinked at her. ''She said she's going to the store. I think she'll be back soon.'' 

Deciding to wait for Young Yi so they can eat, the three sat down on the couch in front of the TV. Soo Ho booted up the console and allowed Si Eun to have a turn, though he wasn't very good at it. ''Playing a video game is not the same as studying.'' Soo Ho got frustrated watching him and reached for the controller. ''Gosh, hand it over.'' 

''I'll go get another drink,'' Y/n announced before getting up from the couch, moving over to the kitchen area. She took her phone out of her pocket and pulled up her chat with Young Yi, shooting her a quick text asking about where she was. 

''Is Young Yi crawling back?'' Soo Ho asked and Y/n looked back at the two. ''What's taking her so long? I'm starving.'' 

Y/n looked back down at her phone. Her message was on delivered. She sighed and walked back to the boys, leaving her phone on the table next to Soo Ho's. 

Si Eun sighed. ''We can cut the cake later. Shall we start eating without her?'' 

The sound of Soo Ho's fingers hitting the controller buttons ceased and Y/n looked back again, only to see Soo Ho looking seriously at Si Eun. ''Unbelievable. That's a great idea. Let's do it.'' 

Soo Ho got up, picking up his drink as he and Y/n walked back to the kitchen. ''I'll try calling Young Yi.''

''I just texted her but she's not answering,'' Y/n pointed out. ''Maybe you'll have better luck.''

Soo Ho started shuffling around, picking up a few pizza slices from the table and putting them on a plate, then in the microwave. He looked at Y/n. ''Microwaved pizza tastes amazing. You'll be surprised. Just you wait.''
