'Hi Baekhyun! I hope I'm not late to wish you happy birthday. I hope we can go workout together soon. Happy birthday Byuntae! 😁' I clicked the send button.

I open my laptop and googled some workout stuff for guys. I ended up ordering a printed shirt 'ABS IN PROGRESS', a mat and a set of Dumbbells for him.

Next I browse a gift for Suho. It's difficult to choose something for Suho since he's rich. Like super rich... And he basically has everything...

After an hour, I finally ordered something for Suho. A white long sleeve knitted pullover and a branded watch.

I laid down on my bed. Thinking how my life will be after graduation which is a few months away. Where will I go? What will I do? Will Sehun still be in my life?

*******

A week passed and finally all the things I ordered already arrived. I managed to convince dad to send me to school since he's working from home.

When we reached, I unloaded Baekhyun's gift which I packed in a Santa's red bag and waved dad goodbye. I waited for him to leave before I went to the dancing room. I texted Chanyeol beforehand to ask their whereabouts.

I knocked on the door and enter. The music playing was halted. Exo was just laying around and looks like I interrupted Hana and Sehun's practice. Well we aren't really on good terms. The last time we spoke was the day I got stung by the bee. And the wound still hurts.

"Sorry to interrupt, you may continue... Just er, need to pass these to Byuntae..." After I said that Hana angrily pressed the play button on the machine. Well, not really sorry for interrupting.

"Christmas came early for Baekhyun!" Chen said over the loud music.

I placed down the bag and silently screamed as I made my way towards Byuntae and hugged him. He may not look like it but he has a very reliable side of him which I really loved.

"Happy belated birthday oppa!" I screamed in his ear as I doubt he'll be able to hear me if I speak normally.

Kai grabbed the bag and then grabbed my hand and we sat together with Exo. The rest of them asked Baekhyun to open the gift that I brought.

They laughed as soon as they saw what's inside.

"Hello, we're trying to practise here." Hana snapped at us when the song ended.

"Well, the song ended..." I replied.

She gave me a murderous glare. I quickly excuse myself, scared that she's really capable of involving me in a cat fight.

Haneul and I went to the music room to practice our performance after school. Like finally. We practiced a lot of times until the school decided to close. I picked up the note on the floor.

'STAY AWAY FROM SEHUN'

"You can have him all you want then!" I mumbled.

I took a photo of the letter and send it to Kris.

'Ge ge (brother), tell her to leave me alone.'

'Alright! Do I need to increase security measures around you? I'll ask Baekhyun to start training you! He's actually working out right now' Kris replied back and sent a photo of Baekhyun working out and he wore the shirt I bought for him.

We walked home together. I spread my arms to enjoy the cooling weather. I hit my left wrist against the wall brick. Hard.

"I'm really sorry!" A guy on the scooter apologized and he quickly drove away.

It's painful. Even worse then when you're having period cramps. Haneul held my hand up to check. A nasty purple bruise is forming on my wrist.

"We need to go to the hospital." Haneul said worriedly.

"We don't. It'll be fine. I'll just put ice over it and it will naturally heal itself."

Haneul and I argued for awhile but he gave in and just said that we'll go to the hospital if it gets worst.

I reached home and washed up and checked my phone before having dinner with my family.

'We'll meet soon...'

I received an Instagram text from an unknown person. Lol that's weird.

When I went down, mum saw my bruised hand and quickly grabbed an ice pack and ties it to my hand.

"You can never replace these hands!" Or "These hands are priceless! They're a gift from God!" Which she keeps exclaiming.

I think that's what mum nagged at me while I was lying on my bed which eventually sleep overtook me.

*******

And soon it's Suho's birthday.

I wore my black dress and and my black heels. I brought along my clutch and as well the present that I had already wrapped nicely. Dad and mum couldn't make it since they went overseas with Dae Han last night.

I then entered and found the ballroom. It's so grand. After all, it's planned by Suho's mum.

"Oppa, happy birthday!" I greeted as soon as I saw him.

"Thank you Jae! Thanks for coming though!"

"Ah, your present. It's nothing much..." I said as I saw the bigger presents on the table nearby.

"It means a lot to me. Thank you." Suho said as he reached out his hands to take the gift from me.

"Can you put this in my room please. Thanks." Suho said to one of waiter. Looks like Suho hired him today.

After we talked awhile, we separated since Suho still needs to greet his other guests. I wished Haneul could come today but he's already at the countryside to visit his grandma so I guess I'm pretty much alone for now or until I found someone who I can talk to.

I stood at the back of the ballroom looking at everything and everyone. I really wished I can go home soon. But Suho haven't even cut his cake...
