One - SHINee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgxbVkXbNsQ) *WARNING: Some of the content near the end may be a bit uncomfortable for minors! ----------------------- Narrator’s P.O.V: Zelo quickly checked his messages on his phone and gasped, “Hyungs, we have to hurry. Jongin hyung is fed up with waiting and is on his way home with noona!” “Muh?!” Youngjae straightened up and exchanged wary glances with Daehyun, who had started to produce nervous butterflies in his stomach. Youngjae scratched his head and stared around the room, “We still have a lot more stuff to put up…” Zelo curiously waved his hand in front of Daehyun’s dazed face, “Hello? Hyuuuung?” “Let him be,” Youngjae mused, “He’s probably just nervous.” He put a hand on Zelo’s shoulder, “C’mon, Junhong. Let’s get these last couple of balloons up before we go.” “Oh, okay.” He nodded as he picked up a white balloon. “Be strong hyung! Fighting!” Daehyun managed to let out a small smile, but in reality, was a nervous wreck all over. Finally, he sat himself down. *Shoot.* He sighed. *I have to think romantically. Be romantic!* ----------------------------- “I’m home~” Hana chorused as she kicked her shoes off. It was dark in the house, and she couldn’t sense anyone else. It was strange. The maids or butlers weren’t even there. “Jooyeon? Junhong? Daehyun?” When no response came, Hana started to grow puzzled. As she looked around blindly, she caught a glimpse of a dull flicker of light near the living room. *What’s that?* Instinctively, she approached the living room. Dim lighting filled the room as her eyes relished over everything on the walls. Pretty pastel-coloured streamers and colourful balloons hung from the ceiling and walls. Below the entrance, a large banner that had various messages from all her loved ones dangled down. Before she could even become moved to tears, she could sense a presence behind her. Automatically, she turned around and hugged him. After all, she knew there could only be one person responsible for all of this. Jung Daehyun. “Whoa,” he said in surprise. Hana said nothing, but her mere embrace said more than 1000 words. Daehyun could feel that she was too stunned to speak and that this was her way of showing gratitude. “Hey…” He gently pulled away and tilted her chin up. He wasn’t too shocked to see that her eyes were glistening with tears. Daehyun felt himself letting out a relaxed smile, showing off his crescent moon-shaped eyes. He traced his thumb over Hana’s eyelids. “Hey crybaby, I didn’t do all of this just to see you shed tears.” He lightly joked. When Hana didn’t reply, he let out a small exhale. “I want to see you smile. It’s your birthday, after all. You should be happy.” Her bottom lip trembled, “But I am.” “Then wipe those tears away and show me a smile, even if you have to fake it.” Daehyun lightly flicked her forehead. Sniffing, Hana wiped her tears and smiled stupidly. Tears had sprung out of her eyes because she was reminded faintly of the birthday parties her family used to have for her when Mrs. Choi was still alive. Back then, she and Hayoung used to be on better terms. Daehyun chuckled boyishly and swiftly pulled her into an embrace. The palms of his hands cupped the back of her head as she leaned against his chest. “Really… What am I going to do with you?” He murmured to himself, “I didn’t even give you the cake yet, and I already can’t hold back.” “Hold back…?” Hana’s eyebrows furrowed. Daehyun just pulled away and mysteriously grinned, “Never mind.” He sheepishly tilted his head to the side, “I was going to buy you a cake, but the shop only had one single cupcake available.” He pulled it out from a bag that sat on the kitchen counter and lit it up with a flame, “Sorry, I didn’t have time to go buy it earlier since I was working on the decorations with Junhong and Youngjae all afternoon.” But Hana honestly didn’t care about the cake. The tiny red velvet cupcake was enough. “No… this is perfect,” she gazed at him sweetly, “Thank you.” Daehyun was taken aback. Hana took the opportunity to make a wish and blow out the cand
