Beautiful Tragedy

Part 15

When Kit went outside he saw something unusual. The Daechapaya were moving like Roborts. The house was messed up with boxes, ribbons, balloons and so many more. He saw Nate and Ming hanging a ribbon on the wall on their backyard. Ming's mom and Ming's father putting cushions on couch and arranging chairs until it looked presentable. Mark and Max were nowhere to be found.

He looked at them awkwardly before coughing a little and gaining their attention. Instantly, he saw Ming rolling his eyes while the other's smiling brightly.

"Kit, you are up" Ming's mom smiled. "We are decorating for Max's Birthday"

Kit let out a small "ohh". That explains all the noises and hammering that woke him up. He smiled looking at all of them so excited, but most of all Ming who was participating in decoration for his brother. It warmed his heart.

"How can I help" Kit asked eager to do something for Max. Honestly, he loved him from the depth of his heart. He was close to Nate and Mark as well but Max had his heart. He loved his childish habits. It will be his absolute honor to do something for the boy.

"We got this covered" Ming replied not looking at him. Kit's shoulder sank, a sigh escaping his mouth as he turned to leave but was stopped. "But, we would appreciate if you could make a banner for him" He abruptly turned around making sure he heard correctly. Ming asked him to make a banner for his brother's birthday. Damn, it was first time for everything. He smiled brightly and swore he saw Ming smile a little before he turned his attention back into the ribbon he was setting. He saw Nate wink at him before he chuckled and set to work.

He grabbed all of his art accessories and started cutting big letters of his chart paper. He arranged them in a sequence until they read "Happy Birthday Max". He painted them all into different colors drawing small cartoons and emojis to make it look funky. It took him few hours until he was done. He tied it into a thread and gave it to Ming and Nate who hang it on the wall beside the table arranged for cake. He saw Ming raising his eyebrow amused and Nate smiling inspired by his work and he felt relieved and a sudden joy went down his heart when he realized he did something for Max, for the family.
