Waking up on a day like this surely makes you seem quite happy since you’re a birthday girl for today. Smiling slightly remembering that today is a special day, you did your morning routines as always.
While you were having your breakfast with your brother, –of course, with an absence of Chanyeol. Usually he would sleep over but guess, not today- your phone rang, someone was calling. To your surprise, it was Kai; your best friend. You excused yourself & answered the call.
“Oh?” You said once you answered the call.
“Hey, birthday girl. Want to go out for a movie?” Kai asked, you can barely hear Sehun’s voice on the other side. Surely, these two kids are together right now.
“Movie? Today? I guess … Sure. Just the two of us or Hun’s joining?” You replied. Sehun’s joining for sure but you just asked him just in case.
“Yeah, he’s joining. So, see you around 11.” Kai said, you can hear Sehun’s voice who was eager to talk to you but Kai didn’t let him.
“Oh, okay then. See you, boys.” You replied in agreement before hanging up.
You went back to the kitchen where Baekhyun was still having his breakfast. You took your sit back & smiled at him pleadingly. Baekhyun smiled back but he seemed to be able to read your mind that you want to say something. He swallowed everything inside his mouth before opening it to speak up,
“What’s it this time, ____?”
You grinned sheepishly at him, you answered to ask his permission,
“Well, since today is my birthday .. I was wondering if I could go out & join SeKai watching a movie.” You usually called Kai & Sehun using SeKai.
Baekhyun has this serious face & he replied,
“So, you’re telling me you want to go out today?”
You nodded slightly at his remark & nervously waited for his answer. Baekhyun sometimes can be ‘creepy’ so if he does, you’re totally doomed.
You waited for a few minutes before Baekhyun opened his mouth to say,
“Alright, you can go. But, be careful & come home early. If anything happens to you, those jerks will have to pay.”
You were taken aback by what your brother just said & replied,
“Those jerks are your friends too, oppa. Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll ‘hapkido’ them.” You said happily & gave Baekhyun a hug while giggling. “Thanks, Byun Baekhyun. You’re the best.” You added before planting a peck on his cheek & ran upstairs to your room to get change –surely, you don’t want to go out looking like the Bride of Sherk or worst, the Bride of Frankenstein-, leaving Baekhyun alone in the kitchen, shaking his heads in disbelief.
‘She’s growing up well.’

Kai & Sehun arrived in front of your house exactly at 11 as promised. Baekhyun was the one who opened the door & invited them in since you’re still inside your room, trying to tame the tornado on your head; having a tough time in choosing the clothes you thought would be suitable.
“Where’s ____?” Kai asked as he & Sehun settled themselves down on the couch. Baekhyun shrugged & replied, “In her room. She probably still choosing her clothes.”
Kai shook his head while Sehun lets out a soft sigh. Sehun rose from his seat, saying, “I’ll go upstairs & check on her.” With that, he left the living room straight to your room.

“What shall I wear? This or …?” As expected, you were still having a rough time to choose your most suitable clothes.
“What’re you doin’?” A familiar voice greeted. You turned around & saw Sehun was standing right behind you with his eyebrows raising. You startled a bit due to his unexpected presence before saying,
“What’re you doin’ here?” You threw him a question as an answer. The boy’s thin lips formed a slight smile & answered, “Happy birthday, princess.” He then handed you a box as a gift. You furrowed your eyebrows & said, “Er.. Thanks. What’s inside?” Sehun shrugged & gestured you to open it.
You did exactly what he told. You unwrapped the wrapper & opened the box only to see a modest V-neck blue shirt. You pulled it out off the box & stared at it.
“A shirt? Like.. seriously. Anyway, this would do. I’ll wear it.” Your lips formed the sweetest smile, you gazed up to look at Sehun who was grinning cheekily. “Thanks.” You added to thank him. “You like it?” He asked, still grinning like a maniac he is. You nodded, “Love it, actually. Thanks again, Hunnie.” You thanked him again.
“Now, would you mind?” You raised a brow & pointed at the door, signaling Sehun to exit the room so you can get change. But, being as an ‘idiot’ he is, he didn’t get what you mean. “Mind what?” He asked in reply. You mentally slapped your head & answered, “Would you mind to wait outside while I get change?” Surely, Sehun isn’t in his right mind again. “Why would I? I’ve already seen you in a bikini last summer. What’s the point you’re telling me to go out?” He answered in confusion.
‘Seriously, this boy sure wants a black eye from me.’
“Just get out, you dork!” You pushed him towards the door & slammed it on his face. Unfortunately, it hits his head & he groaned in pain loudly.
“Sorry!” You shouted from inside, apologizing to him.

At the movies, you sat in between the two boys watching the most boring movie all of you could think of. You chose a cheesy animated kids’ movie to just waste the time & get a few cheap laughs at to at least release your stress. You shivered when Kai put his arm around you before breaking out into that adorable laugh of his, the one that made his cute face light up with excitement. Well, once Kai had confessed to you but you politely rejected him since you only considered him as one of your stupid best friends who will always be there for you even when you’re down. To your luck, you’ve the most precious best friends ever.
Perhaps it wasn't such a lame movie if it eventually made the cool Kai laughed like this. In the other hand, Sehun wasn’t even concentrating on the movie since he’s always with his smartphone, playing some stupid games. He’s totally addicted to the game. Oh Sehun~~ >,,<
"That was lame," You giggled as the three of you exited the theater once the movie was over. You were trying to finish off the immense amount of popcorn Kai had bought for you. Sehun was still holding his phone. Soon, you turned to face Kai, looking at him with pleading eyes. He gave you a what look. You smiled sweetly at him before opening your mouth to utter your words, “Where’s my birthday gift, Mister?” Kai furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Then, he flicked your forehead which caused you to whine. “Why did you do that?” In reply, you smacked him hard on the arm. “Just to give you a simple ‘message’.” Kai answered while smirking. “What do you mean?” You asked him, still hadn’t get the point. “I’ve spent my money for the tickets. Actually, watching a movie is my gift for you this year.” Kai explained the point. “Whaaaaat~~? But that was lame.” You whined & pouted cutely at him. "It was. But at least it was fun spending time with you," Kai said shyly. You scuffed in reply & shut your mouth. You didn't notice before Kai had reached into his own bag of popcorn to toss one lightly at you. It hit you square on the forehead before falling down to the floor. Then, he ran as fast as he can as you began to chase after him, leaving Sehun alone with his phone as company.

You arrived at home earlier than expected. Baekhyun was in the living room, waiting for you. Sometimes, this brother of yours can be so over protective.
As you arrived, you immediately plopped yourself down on the couch next to him, looking exhausted even though you were out only for two & a half hours. Baekhyun looked at you anxiously. You tilted & rested your head on his shoulder.
“How’s the movie?” Baekhyun started a conversation. You lifted your head lazily from his shoulder, “It was lame & Kai said that was his gift for me.” You answered while pouting. Baekhyun lets out a soft chuckle & handed you something, “What’s this?” You asked curiously while eyeing the full decorated box in his hand. You hesitantly took it & stared at your brother. “Open it.” He told you so. You did open it & saw a new i-Pod. You gasped in awe, “Oppa!” You gave Baekhyun a hug. You’ve always wanted to buy a new i-Pod since yours previously was broken. You broke the hug & soon, planted a peck on Baekhyun’s cheek which made him startled. “Thanks!” You thanked him & rushed upstairs towards your room.

After changing your clothes into a casual & comfortable one, you laid yourself down on your comfy bed happily. You stared at the white ceiling of your room with a smile plastered across your face. As you started to think about something, a name came through your mind. Surely, today, you haven’t got to see ‘him’; Chanyeol. Where on Earth is he anyway?
You got up from your bed & walked towards where you kept the pink teddy bears you got every year from Chanyeol. As you went nearer, you noticed something rare. There, you saw a giant sized –not as big as a giant- pink teddy bear. You don’t remember it before so being a curious girl you are, you went towards it & stared at it. Then, you saw a card attached on it. You reached out your hand & grabbed it. Holding it tightly, you opened the card & saw Chanyeol’s hand-writing.
‘Happy Birthday, Byun ____. Sincerely, Park Chan Yeol.’
Your lips curled up to form a smile. You don’t know why, just by reading it, even though it’s simple & short but it’s enough to give happiness to yourself. You chuckled softly as you remembered him. Sometimes, you thought Chanyeol isn’t that bad at all but the way he treats you makes you feel like he’s a bad one.
And sometimes, you wondered your brother’s words …
‘Is he really likes you?’
Oh no .. Then, if he does, how are you feeling about it? Happy, mad or upset? Think about it, you’ll find your answer soon.
