"You guys!" I enter the dojo with a wooden picture frame.
Everyone pauses from their afternoon stretches to look at me.
"What's up?" Yun asks.
"I was looking at Sensei's display of trophies when I came across this 1953 Baguazhang certificate."
Taehyung shrugs, "So?"
"So it has his biography. Says he won his when he was 27, and that reciprocate of this reward was born on September 9th... That means today is Sensei's birthday."
"Old people still have birthdays?" Jimin's face twists. "I thought they just forgot it or something."
Hakyeon adds, "Yeah, how old even is that guy? A thousand?"
"He's 74."
"Damn. Maybe Sensei should gift himself a wheelchair this year."
I'd be lying if I said Hakyeon's comment didn't spark some annoyance in me. Probably because I have grandparents myself, but I can't stand people who treat the elderly like shit. It's disrespectful.
"Uh, in caseyou haven't noticed, the man literally does nothing but mentor and take care of us all day. Plus he probably doesn't have much family around to celebrate with. I think he deserves something nice from us this year."
"Like a party? With a cake?!"
"He's 74 Cammy. I don't think he'll be interested in cake."
"Nonsense! It's not a party without cake, Mei."
"Alright, fine. We'll get a cake."
"We should probably all chip in for a present too, right?" Yeonjun asks, making Yun nod. "Right. But what to get him?"
"How about a puppy??"
"I swear to God..." Viper rubs her eyebrows.
"Cammy, puppies are very expensive." I explain.
"Then what about a toy?" Yeonjun asks. "Some elders enjoy vintage toys that make them feel young again. My uncle likes trains."
"My favorite toy was a knife." Viper picks at her nails casually.
"We're getting Sensei a knife? Awesome—!"
"No— Yang, nobody's getting a knife." I shut my eyes in frustration. "Alright, I'm in charge so I'll just choose the roles. Hakyeon and Viper, you'll make the cake."
