No ones pov:
"Dal Sae!", smiled Sungyeol," we missed you!"

Sungyeol walked slowly to Dal Sae but Sung jong ,Woohyun and Dongwoo ran ahead and gave her a group hug. Sungyeol simply waited for his turn. Sunggyu and Hoya just stood by the door. Hoya gave her an awkward smile and waved while Sunggyu held bags in the air, "we brought presents" He said smiling.

Dal Sae's pov:
The boys are always so cheerful. I'm glad they're back.

No one's pov:
L Walked into the kitchen and once again the boys burst out. "Myungsoo myungsoo" said sunggyu. "Hyung!" Said sung jong. And "L!".

"Oh I can't believe we forgot!" Said Woohyun running out to his car and bringing out a small black box with small holes to the kitchen. "Happy late birthday!" He said, "you have to open it quickly!". "We hope you like your present"-Hoya. "He will"-Sungyeol.
"we didn't forget your birthday but we couldn't mail this out to you"-Sunggyu

*slowly opening the box* "You could've call..."-L

Dal Sae's pov:
He stopped mid sentence and stared down at the open box. And the most beautiful smile I've ever seen formed from his lips. It made me curious so I walked closer to see. It was a kitty! A cute grey cat that looked up at him with it's big eyes. "We knew you'd love it" said Woohyun with a cheerful smile and formed a heart with his fingers. "It was Sungyeol's idea"- Sunggyu

Again he didn't say anything. He just held up the kitty up to his chest and scratched it's head and ears. " It's a girl. What do you want to call her?"- Hoya

"I'll call her Byeol"-L(meaning star)

No one's pov:
"We also brought presents for you" said sunggyu to Dal Sae. "Me? Why?"-Dal Sae. "Because your our friend"-sung jong. "Aren't you?"- dongwoo

"Ah. Yes if that's okay."-Dal Sae
"Here, these are from me" said Sungyeol handing her two boxes.she opened the small one first and found a blue necklace.

"Hope the color is okay"-SY
"It's perfect. Blue is my favorite color"-DS
"Good. He might have gone back to Hawaii for another one if you didn't like that one." Laughed dongwoo, but Sungyeol gave him a glare.
Dal Sae smiled and opened the other box. It was a mug.

"I thought maybe you could use it to drink your coffee in"-SY
"I love it" she said with a smile. L who had been playing with Byeol looked at them for a second and turned back to his cat.
"Alright my turn!" Screamed Sung jong handing her a bag. When Dal Sae opened it she found that it was filled with all types of sweets and chocolates which she loved. "Thank you. I love sweets" she said. She opened all their presents that consisted of snowglobes, hair pieces, accesories and a lot of other souvenirs.

They also had a lot of things for L who also thanked them, especially for his cat.

They all made their way out the house and into Sunggyu's and Dongwoo's family cars. In one car Sunggyu,L,Sungyeol and Dal Sae while Hoya,Woohyun and Sungjong went with Dongwoo.
Both cars were driven by their personal chauffeurs.

They had decided to go to L's favorite restaurant for breakfast as an apology for living it up in hawaii during his birthday.
Once they arrived Sungyeol tried to act as a gentleman by opening the door for Dal Sae and helping her with her chair and menu at the table. The boys didn't really know what to think of it. They had never seen him act that way.

Sung Kyu's pov:
It was very amusing watching Sungyeol hover over Dal Sae. He was trying to be a gentleman, but he looked like an elementary school student trying to win the heart of a noona. He's finally maturing.

No one's pov:
After their filling breakfast they decided to go shopping.
Every time they left a store each of the boys left with a new bag. L kept buying black clothes,hoya purple clothes,dongwoo green and interesting clothes and sunggyu animal prints. The others had a much more diverse style.

"Do you guys need help carrying some bags?" Asked Dal Sae noticing how much they all had. Most of them replied with a no thank you. Except L who shoved some of his bags at her.
Sungyeol trying his best not to start screaming, calmy took the bags from Dal Sae's hands and shoved them back at him. "She's going to need her hands to carry her own bags"-SY
He then gently grabbed Dal Sae by the wrist and pulled her into a lady's fashion store. The other boys slowly walked in after them with L standing all the way behind them.
"Pick out whatever you like", said Sungyeol, "they'll be my reward for putting up with Mr.Grouchy while we where away".
"Oh thank you but-"DS. "NO buts!",interrupted Sung Yeol ,"miss could you please help us pick out some clothes for this young lady?".

For the next couple hours the boys minus L who just observed, helped Dal Sae pick out clothes and watched her transformations as she came out of the changing room.

While the guys fussed over Dal Sae, L decided to take a look around and found a beautiful black dress with shining gold and silver stars. He had the flashing thought that Dal Sae would look beautiful in it. For some reason he decided to buy it and put it in one of his other bags so no one could see it. He didn't really know what he wanted to do with it, but at the time he'd felt the need to buy it.

The 7 boys all bought some of the clothes for Dal Sae. L never said anything he just swiped his card without giving notice, leaving everyone speechless.

While they all walked to the next store Dal Sae suddenly froze in place. One by one the boys stopped midtrack to face her and wondered if she was okay.

Dal Sae's pov:
While we were all walking I felt at ease for the first time in a long time. But sadly that feeling left me too quickly as I saw Dahlia, my mom's old friend standing close by. As she turned we made eye contact and I froze in place, just looking at her and her son yonghwa who stood beside her.

Yong Hwa's pov:
It's her...it's Dal Sae.
