after a day of schedules with the guys, you hang out with them at one of the dorms. you lay your head on yeosang's lap while going through some photos that you need to delete.
"y/n, what are you doing for your birthday?" wooyoung asks you.
you pull your phone away from your view for a second. "we have a late shoot, don't we?" you reply, looking up at yeosang.
"yea, the shoot is pretty long," he replies. "and i think you'll be the only artist with me tomorrow too."
"you're not flying home?" yunho asks you.
you shake your head, "i didn't take time off. i'll probably just do dinner or something. i just haven't felt like planning," you laugh. "oh, i need to call about an appointment. i'll be back," you mention and get up from where you're sitting. you leave the room and use hongjoong's room to make a phone call while the guys stay in the living room.
"should we plan something?" wooyoung immediately asks.
"if all of us don't have to wake up early the next day, we could do something late tomorrow," hongjoong says, looking over his personal calendar. "i'm free," he mentions.
"i'm free too," seonghwa speaks after turning his phone screen off.
"let's plan something. she'll be really happy," jongho says.

"babe, can you touch up my makeup? i want to take some photos," yeosang asks you.
"of course," you answer and gesture him to sit down. "i thought you took photos earlier?" you question him.
"i want to take some more," he replies. "can we take some together?" he asks.
you nod, "yea, sure."
you fix his makeup and his hair, making sure everything is the same as before he left for the shoot. you fix his outfit and grab your camera.
"can i take some pictures of your makeup?" you ask him while checking the last few photos on your camera.
"don't you have a bunch of me already?" yeosang asks as you two step out of the room.
"it just helps my portfolio," you reply. "besides, i rather print photos of us from here. this camera is a good one."
yeosang smiles, "alright. let's go get your photos."
you and yeosang go to a popular spot backstage to take photos at. both of you take photos of each other with you mainly taking photos of him. you highlight his makeup for most of the photos since you want to post them to your work account.
one of his managers takes some photos of the two of you afterwards. that way, you two have some photos that you can keep for yourself.

meanwhile...
"isn't this too much?" san asks while trying to peel tape off of a roll.
the half decorated dorm is a mess. decorations are everywhere and the guys are trying to make the room as presentable as possible. luckily, yeosang and yunho have furniture now, but it's still a mess at the moment.
"what's taking jongho and seonghwa so long?" hongjoong questions while opening the package of a "happy birthday" banner.
"jongho probably dropped the cake," mingi answers. he takes some balloons to the walls.
"no, you would drop the cake," yunho replies as hongjoong hands him the banner. "someone hand me tape," he requests.
"here," wooyoung says, handing a new roll of tape to yunho. "hyung, help me set the table," he says to san.
"sure."
the group continues to set up the living room. eventually, seonghwa and jongho arrive with dinner and a birthday cake.
"you guys should of seen the lines," seonghwa says as he sets down some bags.
"y/n's favorite bakery is so expensive," jongho comments, looking at the receipt again, "and they go to this place all the time!"
"they do love their treats and drinks from there," hongjoong says as he takes items out of one bag. "anyone have a time check?" he asks.
wooyoung looks at his phone, "yeosang texted. he says twenty minutes."
mingi peeks at wooyoung's phone. "dude, that was twenty minutes ago."
"oh no."

"babe, i'm too cold," you whine to yeosang. "i thought you said we were getting dinner first."
"we are getting dinner. i just need to grab something from the dorm," he says and checks the time.
"did you need a reservation for somewhere?" you ask him.
he shakes his head, "no, but i wanna show you to this place later," he mentions. you two head to the dorm, bringing both his and your stuff so you can drop it off before you go out.
right before you reach the front door. yeosang steps behind you, "okay, i'm going to cover your eyes!"
"huh? yeo—"
"just go with it," he says to you.
"but it's just the dorm."
"i said go with it."
you let yeosang lead you down the hallway. after a short walk, he stops walking but moves you over a few steps.
"three, two, one!"
you hear the door open and yeosang uncovers your eyes.
"happy birthday!"
you discover the decorated dorm with the rest of your friends. you stand there confused and surprised that everyone has been involved with your birthday.
you look at yeosang. "yeo..."
"happy birthday baby," he says and kisses your cheek.
"hey! save the pda! we got candles to blow out and food to eat!" wooyoung speaks up.
"y/n, we really need to talk about the bakery you love," jongho comments as he holds a drink in his hand.
you step into the room while laughing. yunho comes over to you with a cake in his hands. it's a simple cake but it's more than enough for you.
everyone starts singing "happy birthday" to you. you smile and quickly make a wish after the song ends. then, you blow the candles out and everyone cheers.
"let's get this party started!" mingi announces while you become the center of attention for tonight.
everyone starts diving into the food that was bought, and you start with a piece of cake. you sit at the table next to yeosang, who has his arm around your shoulders.
"so we're not going out later?" you ask yeosang.
"hey, i never said that," he replies, "we'll go out after this, alright?" you nod. "happy?"
"more than happy," you reply. "love you."
"love you more, birthday girl," he says and kisses your cheek again.
