"Why exactly have you pulled us out of practice?" Jaehyun shifted on his feet as he eyed Gyuvin suspiciously. Gyuvin cleared his throat and stepped up from where the rest of Seoul Varsity stood.

"Today is our beloved Angry Bird Gunwook's birthday. And like most birthdays, we must celebrate!" Gyuvin threw his hands up in the air to express his excitement. Only Seoul Varsity (minus Gunwook and Ricky) followed him.

Gyuvin and Hao gathered some members of both the soccer and volleyball teams. It was quite controversial, at least according to Hao it was, and Gyuvin almost feared for his life when he saw the look Jaehyun gave Taesan. Nonetheless, they'd gotten the most suitable people for the job.

As for Gunwook, the basketball team had managed to coax him into thinking that practice would be starting later due to Hanbin having a doctor's appointment. Little did the guy know that "doctor's appointment" was an elaborate lie to give the three teams time to prepare a surprise.

"Wait, why us specifically?" Riwoo paused Gyuvin's small speech, gesturing to everyone on the opposite side of the court. Gyuvin looked at Hao awkwardly.

"Well, that's because—"

"It's 'cause you're the only ones Gyuvin knows." Hao snorted, elbowing the Bambi in the process. "Plus, I think the others couldn't care less," he added.

The soccer and volleyball players nodded in synchrony, seeming satisfied with the answer. They had gotten Taesan, Riwoo, and Sungho from the volleyball team and Jaehyun, Yujin, and Taerae from the soccer team.

They heavily debated letting Leehan and Woonhak join in but decided that they wanted the gymnasium to be in one piece by the time Gunwook made it to practice.

"Okay, let's get started! You guys can go work over there with the cake while we do the decorations. Don't eat it, please!" Hanbin, ever the leader, took the initiative and directed everyone to their designated spots. The players dispersed, and there began Gunwook's Birthday Blast.

"How do I make the balloons fly, Ricky?" Gyuvin nudged Ricky's shoulder inquisitively. Ricky almost facepalmed but he'd been on a nice streak for too long to be breaking it over a silly question.

"You would need helium, Bambi." Ricky tied the balloon he had just blown and let it fall to the ground, awaiting Hanbin and his lasso of ribbon. "Which we don't have, unfortunately." He could sense what Gyuvin was going to ask next, so he answered everything in one go.

"Oh. I forgot about that. I think I keep falling asleep in science or whatever, but it's fine!" Gyuvin smiled with his teeth and continued blowing the balloon he'd previously let go of in the pursuit of trying to make it soar. "But Ricky, how do we know Gunwook's gonna come at all?"

"Plan B is to force him out of his dorm. Assuming that he doesn't come, that is." Ricky chuckled at the idea. It was courtesy of Jiwoong who'd already experienced Gunwook's tardiness one too many times before.

"Sounds good." Gyuvin nodded, tying off the balloon. He let his hands rest on his hips for a couple of seconds, not wanting to get a blister from the repetitive friction.

"Gyuvin! We have no time for breaks! Back to work you go," Hao was quick to notice Gyuvin slacking off and ushered him to work immediately. Gyuvin groaned at his antics and almost slapped the guy when he turned around and kissed Hanbin.

"So I can't rest for five seconds but you can kiss your boyfriend?!" Gyuvin whined, picking up another deflated balloon anyway. Hao rolled his eyes at the younger's behavior.
