~No POV~

The five girls and their manager were sitting around the table, just chatting when Rin leaned over to whisper something to Gaeul beside her.

"You should make a toast unnie."

"Should I?" Gaeul asked. Rin nodded. "Okay."

Gaeul stood up with her glass in hand. She clinked it with silverware to get everyone's attention.

"Attention please." Gaeul said. "If everyone could please grab your glass. I would like to make a toast."

Everyone grabbed their glass and held it in the air.

"Unfortunately we were stuck in the 'Pinky Entertainment Debut One Year Curse' like our seniors KND and D.S.H," Gaeul started, causing everyone to snicker. "But at least we know we are preparing and that we will have a comeback soon. Let's not let our hard work go to waste. Let's continue to fight and stay together for the next year and more. As your leader, I am proud to be here with you all and let's keep going. SECRET.ED fighting!"

"Fighting!" Everyone cheered.

"Happy one-year anniversary girls." Our manager Jungwoo said as he also made cheers with us.

"And to our favorite emo manager, Jungwoo!" Gaeul added to her speech.

Everyone cheered causing Jungwoo to laugh. They all finished their cheers and went back to their dinner.

~Yoona's POV~

"Girls we have to hurry!" I exclaimed. "She's gonna be here any minute!!"

"Cake is done!" AJ exclaimed, taking her hands away.

"Decorations check!" Rin added.

"And I got the camera!" Mini added.

"Perfect." I smiled. "Then we should be good."

"We're suppose to meet in five minutes." Producer Junjae told us, sitting at his desk. "You girls should get going."

"Yes!" I agreed, turning to my members. "Let's go."

"Thank you oppa." Rin said as we were leaving.

"Of course." He nodded. "I thought it was a cute idea. I'm glad I could be apart of it."

We said goodbye and the four of us left the recording studio. We wanted to be there to see Gaeul's reaction but we knew it'd be too suspicious if we were there so we even left the building.

~Gaeul's POV~

I arrived at the recording studio and walked in.

"Just on time." Junjae said with a smile.

"Am I?" I asked. "Good."

"Yes." He nodded. "You ready to record your solo?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." I said with a snicker.

Junjae snickered and motioned me inside the recording booth. I walked in still looking at my lyrics seat. I looked up for a moment as I saw something new inside. At that moment, I looked around and saw a cake sitting on the stool inside.
