Cameras flashed left and right as Hyunsoo posed for different fashion brands, the clothes looked ethereal on her as she smiled for every photograph and soon enough, her shift for the day was over. It was only 4 in the evening and she knew she was supposed to call Renjun to come pick her. She was back to the bubbly confident girl she was, maybe it was just pure happiness or something she couldn't decipher just yet.

The dial sounded for only a few seconds till the boy picked up.

"I'm almost there, you can come out now," Hyunsoo could hear the horns blaring from other cars on the road and smiled at the little road rage tone in his voice

"Okay," she sang and hung up so he wouldn't feel bothered and walked out, bowing to the guards on the way out. The car that was usually there wasn't here anymore and it made her wonder about Wontaek just a bit, did he really back out?

Hyunsoo easily pointed out Renjun's car from the rest and walked to it within a few steps. The girl stayed tight-lipped till she sat on the front seat and Renjun stormed for the next signal. He kept tapping on the steering wheel, jaw bucking from time to time and annoyance clear in his face. Hyunsoo wanted to break out laughing but she held back, staring at his side profile that screamed road rage.

He turned to look at her and could easily tell she was holding back a lot.

Renjun sighed, his tongue rubbing the inside of his cheek before he rolled his eyes at the car in front of him that blared it's horns multiple times.

"I'm a step away from cursing at each and every one of them," Renjun warns and this time Hyunsoo chuckled.

She giggled while looking at the date lighting right above the speakers in his car. It was her birthday today. She had received multiple messages online, from her personal social media account to the news but then she remembered, he said he never paid attention to such news.

"The light's green motherfuckers, move it a bit!" Renjun said, his voice deep and he pursed his lips. That was the first time he cursed in front of her and Renjun chose to be quiet, not wanting to say anything more that could embarrass him further.

"That was hot," Hyunsoo said and Renjun looked at her with his eyes wide.

"You should get road rage more often," Hyunsoo said and once again her ease with words got him sighing in fluster.

The car in front of his finally moved and Renjun breathed out in relief. He drove faster, not wanting to go through with the same fate again.

"Can we do something fun today?" Hyunsoo asked innocently so he couldn't tell on an instant.

"Today?" Renjun thought for a bit.

"I need to leave now to submit my assignment ,then once I'm back we can," Renjun said and smiled at the girl.

"When will you be back?" Hyunsoo asked and at that Renjun looked at her a bit suspiciously, she never asked him that before.

"Well, no more than 2 hours max," Renjun said, nodding at his understanding and Hyunsoo internally squealed, knowing she had enough time to set something till then.

"Okay, come back soon" Hyunsoo sang, her voice sounding childish and now Renjun really had a few doubts but with the trust they developed in a week of sharing the same apartment, he chose to not think much of it.

"I will" Renjun said and Hyunsoo stood right there, watching his car fade away till she couldn't see it from where she stood. The sky was a beautiful hue of grey for 5 in the evening and Hyunsoo pursed her lips, walking to the house as she started putting her plan to action.

Searching up the nearest bakery, she first ordered a pretty fruit and bingsu cake that she felt he would like too, she set up a few movies they could choose from later and placed the new bottle of wine on the table, staring at the liquor before promising herself she would have no more than 3 glasses.

Time felt longer now, Hyunsoo walked around the entire house with the music playing off her headphones for the third time and to her shock, it had only been 45 minutes.

Renjun couldn't stop thinking about how the girl watched him leave that evening, she usually entered the house and waved before shutting the door but something was different today.

"Mr. Hwang?" The 18 year old model he portrayed called him out and Renjun came back to his senses.

"Yes, sorry Ms. Lee," Renjun said and watched as she rolled her eyes while looking through his portraits.

"Yeah, I like them," she said, the attitude quite clear from how she spoke to him and all of that only got him more intrigued of Hyunsoo. How was she not like any other model he met? Time flew by quicker for Renjun and he could finally go back home.

He honestly didn't know what Hyunsoo meant when she confronted him about spending time together, he braced himself despite the doubts and came back at 7: 05 PM. Though while he was entering he felt a tap on his back causing him to turn.

To his surprise it was a delivery man.

"Your order Sir," the younger boy said, a quirky smile on his face and Renjun eyed him up and down.

"I didn't order anything though?" Renjun said and the boy looked at the older questioningly.

"The order can from a Hwang Hyunsoo though?" The boy said and Renjun thought about it for a second.

"Ah, yes I'll take it," Renjun said and politely took the box from him.

"How much was this again?" Renjun asked but the boy shook his head.

"It's been paid for online," he said but Renjun remained adamant.

"You can send the refund back to the same account, just tell me the amount,"

Renjun paid for the box, still unaware of what was inside, and the 'Hwang Hyunsoo' part still poked his insides.

He got inside the house, a quiet atmosphere all around making him frown as he walked to the hall, only to see Hyunsoo asleep on the couch, her chest rising and falling softly as she dozed and Renjun took this chance to place the box down on the table in front of her.

It was purely curiosity that led him to do what he did, the boy convinced himself with the fact that she went through his wallet to give him strength, he ripped the little piece of tape and opened the box, eyes softening to see a birthday cake, freshly cut fruits on the top with 'Happy Birthday Hyunsoo' written around, Renjun looked between her and the box before a little idea creeped into his head.
