You give me all I ever needed
Half a heart and you complete it
Part of me I never knew, oh
I'm only me because of you
Me because of You• HRVY

Heiryung laid in bed, the clock next to her passing time as she stared at the ceiling. A soft smile was painted on her face, her hands fiddling with the matching friendship bracelet she and Meirong shared.

Her phone was on her stomach, the ringer on and face up.

Her hair reached her shoulders now, the past week filled with many exciting adventures.

Her and Jisung decided to go for a walk, but ditching that and heading to the nearest convenience store to buy a ton of snacks.

Meirong had decided to dye a strip of her hair pink, and Heiryung had finally cut the mess of hair she hadn't cut in forever. The change had felt nice. Kun had applauded her for it, saying that a change in lifestyle or appearance could help her view it as a new start.

Renjun had given her the painting of the playground, saying it was for 'memories.' She hadn't hung it up, still awaiting for a moment of clarity to decide whether or not to move in with her brother.

The clock reached 11:59.

She sat up, looking at the clock on her phone in anticipation.

She crawled across the bed and grabbed a match, her face gazing upon the flame in excitement.

30 seconds.

She listened to the soft music playing in her headphones, waiting for the moment it changed.

1. 

Happy birthday Heiryung.

She blew out the match her eyes welling with tears as she got up and tossed it into a trash can she clapped her hands, reach to go back to bed when her phone started ringing.

She glanced at it before picking it up, her smile coming back as she swiped answer.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEIRYUNG!!"

Group FaceTime was a big win.

"Thank you guys so much," she sniffled as she watched Meirong and Dream cheer.

"So you're finally seventeen," Eunhye said, Jaehwa's arm reaching across the girl's shoulders.

"Feel any older," Jaehwa interrupted.

"No," Heiryung giggled, "I just feel like I'm me, and ya know thankfully breathing."

"Breathings always a bonus," Renjun nodded as if he had struck a monumental concept or thought.

"Or a necessity," a new voice said crossing into the frame.

"Renjun who is that," Heiryung clapped as Jaemin and Jeno cheered, Renjun grumbling in annoyance.

"I'm Noeul," the girl said shoving Renjun out of frame.

"And holy shit you're so pretty!!!"

Meirong faked a gasp and covered her chest.

"Profanity," she exclaimed, "in front of me, a mere sixteen year old?!"

"Yeah well I'm nineteen so suck it," Noeul laughed as she stuck her tongue out.

"Oh you're older than hyung," Chenle cooed as Renjun pushed himself back into frame, Noeul letting him wedge his head between her two arms.

"Mhm," Renjun hummed, "but that doesn't matter, all that matters is Heiryung's growing up!"

He faked a cry as Haechan laughed at his expression.

"You look ugly when you do that hyung," Jisung said as Chenle cackled in the background.

"I hope you cheer up or Noeul will leave you!"

Heiryung laughed in glee as Ten and Johnny stood outside her door.

"Who's she talking to," Ten whispered, "it's 12am!"

"Her friends and soulmate," Johnny smiled, "c'mon let her be, it's bed time for us."

Heiryung continued to talk with her friends, Jisung making the casually shady remark, Jaemin continuously saying questionable things, Jeno attempting to be funny (he is funny), Haechan and Noeul teasing Renjun, Eunhye and Jaehwa being the powercouple they are and being a sense of calm. Meirong on the other hand simply smiled with Heiryung.

"Happy birthday Hei."

"Thank you Sungie, i like you."

She saw Jisung laugh on screen, glancing at her box.

"I like you too."
