Kris’s birthday is approaching. EXOM and Nicole know this and they quietly prepare own special gift for Kris. But Kris isn’t interested in his anniversary, because it always reminded him of the unpleasant memories of the past.  He never enjoy happy birthday with his parents, they’re always busy. Kris has no plan to hold a party for day he born. He just want go somewhere with his friend and have dinner, simple and warm, that’s all. But this time Kris had other plan. He wants to create new happy memories instead of remember what’s unhappy of past.

So he arranged an appointment with Nicole, only he and Nicole (sorry EXOM). He wanted to have a private date with her once. In fact EXOM always appear at the time he was next to Nicole. Kris didn't know it was accidental or intentional, but the presence of them partially obstructing him. Sometimes Kris suspected that they were really his friends or his enemies (shook his head and sighs)

And today Kris birthday has finally arrived.

Kris couldn’t help but smile to himself when he thinks about the appointment with Nicole and which makes EXOM extremely curious. Normally on this day, Kris very quiet and keep deep thought. Moreover recently Dongwoon bothered that make he became more uncomfortable but today his mood suddenly better miraculously.

Hey, do you know that today you’re so weird? – Luhan stared at expression of Kris but he didn’t know that.

Yup, you still keep like that, from morning till now you didn’t stop his smile as a maniac – Xiumin typing his fingers on the table, inquisitive look at Kris.

Nothing weird at all, I’m still a normal – Kris flatly reply.

I don’t see it. Your expression say that you have something tobe happy but you’re hiding us – Tao shook his head. He unbelieves in what Kris said.

I said nothing, don’t ask again, ok! You’re bothering me! – Kris tossed his hand aside to signal the end their questions.

Well, if you want. But the best don’t let we discover the secret that you’re hiding, if not we will – Luhan shrug.

Will you do? – Kris raised his eyebrows and asked Luhan with eyes almost threatening. Of course, they fear, who dares against Kris they certainly do not have wraps.

No… nothing! – Luhan shoulders retracted. Clear that he was overwhelmed spirit a bit.

You know as well – Kris smirked.

Luhan don’t like his smirk at all. Although Luhan was born before Kris but sadly Kris never treats him like a real hyung. "What a brat!” – He thought.

Hey, have you any plans? Are we going to go? – Chen moved to another topic.

Kris, today is your, so you decide where we’ll go – Xiumin lift his chin toward Kris.

I have a date – Kris replied.

What? – They said in sync.

I said I have a date – Kris repeated once again.

Have a date? Who is? – Lay innocent asked.

Are you an idiot? That of course is a girl that everyone knows who is – Chen knocked on Lay's head.

It’s Nicole, right? – Xiumin asked with smirk.

Ahm, uhm – Kris clear his throat. Nothing can hide them. Why the minds of them become more nimble when it comes to things like that.

Seem I guess it right. I know that – Xiunim nodded understanding.

Ahhhhhhhh, it's so! – Lay clapped his hand as if he had just discovered a surprise. It’s such a naive guy.

Someone wants to have a private date so he pushed us away – Tao laughed to tease Kris.

Only for the love that abandoned friends – Luhan pouted contempt Kris. He retaliated for what Kris had threatened him earlier.

Hey, you've said enough? – Kris slightly blushing. He didn’t intend to abandon his friends but what they just said isn't completely wrong. He really wanted a personal dating with Nicole without the participation of EXOM.

Not enough.We wants to know: Where would you go? Do you intend to confess to her? Are you going to do with her? And what you have prepared? – Luhan leaned toward Kris asked frantically which makes Kris rolls his eyes at him.

Just a date … – Kris replied simply.

I know it would be such that. Tsk tsk…Jinja! – Luhan disappointed shake of his head, he let go of Kris.

A rude person like he how does know to prepared for what's called romantic – Chen sarcasm Kris.

Yahh! – Kris shouted.

Calm down! If you want, i'll help you! I will answer any questions you – Xiumin patted his chest (so proud)

That's right! For women, Xiumin and Luhan is the best. They know how to grab the hearts of the girls. Duizhang, you should learn from them – Tao recommend.

The girls usually love the gentle guys, a real gentleman. If you want to date Nicole at least you should also change your temper and should also learn a few sweet sentences to say to her – Luhan teaching. He proved knowingly (what he said it is based on the experience flirt the girls of his).

At Kris's level, want him to say sweetwords is impossible and with girls like Nicole that doesn’t have effect. She likes honest and straight guys.So I think he should act instead of saying, it is also consistent with his character – Advice from another expert flirt – Xiumin.

So he should act like? – Chen asked curiously. He also wanted learning experience of Xiumin. Kris kept silent, but he still listened to the words of Luhan and Xiumin. Although he does not like but he had to admit that they easily get love from the girls with just a few their actions.

Cute! You have to cute – Xiumin do aegyo. Kris shook his head. "No way, i wouldn't do that"

Take care and treat her as if she is your queen. Have to show her that any time she can also rely on you – Luhan pretend to see Lay as a girl and he shows his gestures to "her" for Kris visible. Luhan dragged Lay on his lap, he gently hold Lay hand and smiled affectionately with “her”. Lay enthusiastic response with Luhan's drama. “She” tilted her head and leaned against Luhan shoulder and then “she” smiled happily like an idiot.

Yah, it's disgusting! – Kris threw a bottle at them make EXOM laughing.

Most important, you have to take advantage of any opportunity to skinship with her. Such as accidental touching her when you give her something – Xiumin patted Kris let him focus on his advice.

Finally, make a beautiful end for your date. When you take her home, you shouldn't leave immediately. Wait until she has turned away then you call her name. When she looks at you, let’s go slowly approached her and hugged her gently. Then give her a kiss and say: Good night and dream about me! – Xiumin is dreaming and lost in his imagination without knowing that Kris and EXOM quietly away.

Let's keep it for your girlfriend, it's so cheesy! – Tao gave him a wave. He can't also tolerate what Xiumin said.

Yah, where are you going? I have not yet finished. Come back! Kris, if you don't listen to me, you will regret – Xiumin shout out.

If I follow your advice maybe I regret more – Kris said, he don't bother look at Xiumin.

Wait and you’ll see – Xiumin folded his his arm on the chest.

-- 6:00 PM. At Nicole’s home

Nicole was eager to wait for date with Kris. Last week Kris suddenly called her and he said that he want to date with her at Grand Children Park on his birthday. Nicole quite surprised because Kris just want to date with her without planned hold a small party with EXO M as always but she was still happy to accept.

Today she was wearing a white dress combined with a red sweater. Simple but it makes her look feminie more. She’s also makeup a bit. She didn't know why she would do that, maybe because today is the birthday Kris. She smiled at her image in the mirror. Often all girls just want to be beautiful in front of the guy she likes, not in front of her close friends. It looks like Nicole had a bit of confusion. 

Nicole took the gift for Kris and happily left her room. Dongwoon was standing at the door waiting for her. He had heard about the date of Nicole and Kris and he began to think about the plan to separate them. Dongwoon had begged Nicole to come along but Nicole was rejected. At least she's not want Kris uncomfortable on his birthday. Nicole knew that of Kris mood on days like today are bleak because he missed his parents. So despite feeling very sorry for Dongwoon, but she still refused him. Moreover she also wanted to have a private day with Kris. Recently, Nicole and Kris have many problems so she wanted the space for both can heal it.

Wow, you look great – Dongwoon praise Nicole as soon as saw her.

Oh, really! It's not weird, right? - Nicole honest asked him. She was a bit awkward because she rarely wore dress.

You’re so beautiful. I wish I could be your boyfriend – Dongwoon smiled sheepishly.

Quit joke, Dongwoon. Anyway thank your praise – Nicole laughed.

Can I go out with you? – Dongwoon begged.

No, Dongwoon. I told you I had a date so don’t plead. I will accompany you on another day. Sorry!  – Nicole seriously replied.

Nicole happily walked down the stairs. She did not know that Dongwoon was looking at her with jealous eyes. Suddenly, in the beginning he broke out an idea. It seems dangerous, but he still wants to try.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh – Dongwoon cried out.

Nicole heard his screams behind so she turned back. She was terrified when she's see Dongwoon lying on the floor, he fell down from the stairs.

Dongwoonnnnnnnnnnn – Nicole screamed and ran to help him up. Dongwoon couldn’t stand up. He leaned on Nicole and fainted.

-- 06:45 PM. At Grand Children Park

Kris came to the venue before fifteen minutes to wait for Nicole. Infact Kris planned to pick Nicole but he doesn't want to meet Dongwoon so he decided to wait for her at Grand Children Park. His mood becomes more complex, both excited and nervous. Feel like he's waiting for his love on their first date (Kris has never had a girlfriend even though he has a lot of girls to pursue). Kris couldn’t help but laugh to himself when he thought about it.

Time passed slowly, too late but Nicole doesn’t appear. Kris started fidgeting but then he reassured to himself: “Perhaps she came to late cause traffic delayed”

But after an hour passed, Kris really worries. He calls Nicole but no one picked up the phone. “What wrong with her?” – Kris wondered. In his heart likes a burning fire.

-- 9:00 PM. At Nicole’s home

Nicole brought Dongwoon to the hospital. Fortunately, Dongwoon was awake and he was not injured seriously. The doctor said that he can go home to rest. Because Dongwoon fell which made ​​Nicole panic. She was too busy to take care of Dongwoon and forget appointments with Kris. She also left cell phone at home so she did not know that Kris had called her many times.

Dongwoon take a break! I'll get you a glass of water – Nicole helped Dongwoon to the couch to sit. They just returned from the hospital.

Thanhks, Nicole! – Dongwoon gave a small smile, he looked tired.

When Nicole was in the kitchen her phone vibrated and Dongwoon to see it. Kris is calling. He quickly shut down and hided it under his pillow as soon as he saw Nicole came back.

Huh? What is it? – Nicole asked because she saw Dongwoon startled.

Nothing! – Dongwoon lied.

Nicole, you can cook for me a bowl of noodles, I'm hungry! – Dongwoon rubbed his stomach.

Ok, I’ll cook for you, just wait a few minutes – Nicole let out small laugh and turn back kitchen.

While Nicole was cooking, Dongwoon secretly took number of Kris from Nicole's phone and then send him a picture

-- 9:10 PM. At Grand Children Park

More than 2 hours passed but Nicole doesn't appear. Kris extremely worried. He called Nicole again but this time it was someone turned off phone. Then a message is sent to Kris from a stranger. After Kris seeing this message, he’s extreme anger. It's a photo of Nicole and Dongwoon. In photo Nicole smiled beside Dongwoon who was wrapped around her shoulder as if the two were a couple. “It turned out that she forgot appointment with me but dating with this bastard” – Kris extremely disappointed because he thought that Nicole had forgotten his birthday. Kris angry throw his phone to the ground which makes it broke into pieces. He left the park with a bad mood. He didn't know that Dongwoon had cheated him. This photograph were taken before, when Nicole brougt Dongwoon to Namsan Tower. But now Kris is no longer calm to think of anything. He was totally disappointed about Nicole.

-- At Nicole’s home

Dongwoon, you gave me a heart attack – Nicole smiled when she saw Dongwoon eat.

I'm so clumsy. I made you worry! I’m Sorry! – Dongwoon scratching ear.

Never mind. I just afraid you’ll hurt. When you faint, I can’t think of anything and don’t know what to do – Nicole recalled.

You worry about me so much, right? – Dongwoon looked deep into Nicole eyes and made her confused. She turned away and unknowingly she saw the gift for Kris had been dropped at corner of the stairs when she helped Dongwoon.

Oh my God! I forget a date with Kris – Nicole clapped her forhead. She finally remembered it. She panicked and rushed to pick up the gift. Nicole worried call Kris and she found a lot of missed calls from Kris. He must have been very worried about her. “Why did she forget him like that and the worst today is his birthday”- Nicole secretly blame herself.

Nicole, can you stay at home? It’s too late and Kris probably wasn’t there anymore – Dongwoon tried to hold Nicole hand.

I have to go there, I promised. He may still be waiting for me – Nicole pulled her hand back. She feels so bad for not keep the promise with Kris. He certainly was very upset because it.

You can’t stay with me? My head actually still sore – Dongwoon rubbed his head, seem pain.

Sorry, Dongwoon! I need to see Kris. He's upset because I did not come to the venue. I’ll call my mom to take care you – After that Nicole left the house.

Nicole, Nicole…! – Dongwoon called her name but Nicole totally not heard it. Now she's just thinking about Kris and felt extremely sorry for him. She constantly blamed herself for being so careless. “Kris, I'm sorry! I’m really sorry!”

Only Dongwoon stay at home. He felt so down like he was abandoned after Nicole left. Even Dongwoon hurt himself but he still can’t keep Nicole in his side. He sighed frustrated. Kris, why is always you?

-- 10: 15 PM. At Grand Children Park

Nicole went to Park but Kris wasn’t there. She was anxious to look around it but still don’t see Kris. She kept call for him but always his phone was turn off. Finally she decided to call Luhan, perhaps he’ll know where Kris is.

Luhan, do you meet Kris? – Nicole asked, tried to hide her worry.

No, he have a date with you, haven't? – Luhan quite surprise.

Yes, but because Dongwoon was injured, so I was late. I haven’t seen him and couldn’t contact him – Nicole honest replied.

Damn, it’s Dongwoon, again! – Luhan silently cursed Dongwoon.

Ok, I’ll try to find Kris. If I see him, I’ll tell you.  Don’t worry! – Luhan reassured Nicole.

Thanks, Luhan!

Not at all! We’re friend, right?

After an hour, EXOM looked for Kris everywhere he can come but they can’t meet him. Finally, they give up. Luhan called back for Nicole.

Nicole, I’m sorry! We were looking for him where possible but … – Athough don’t want but Luhan had to tell Nicole the truth.

I know. Sorry to bother you! – Nicole replied, trying to hide her disappointment.

Probably Kris had to go home and sleep, so you don't worry anymore. Meet him on another day – Luhan advice

Yeah, thanks Luhan! Bye!

Bye!

-- 11:00 PM. At Kris apartment

Nicole didn't go home but she came to the apartment of Kris. She hopes to meet him to apologize and give a birthday gift to him but Kris wasn't there. So Nicole decided to wait until she can meet Kris.

12: 30 PM

Kris returned. His body emits the smell of alcohol. He had been drinking a lot. He saw Nicole sat on the ground. She seemed very worry. Kris just wants to hug Nicole but he has stopped. His heart felt hurt when he remembered that photo.

Kris, you’re back! – Nicole glad to see Kris. She rushed to his side. But Kris didn’t have any reaction. Kris didn’t say a word, just wobbly steps. He was drunk.

Kris, have you drink alcohol? – Nicole taking Kris hand to help when she saw Kris about to fall.

You don’t need to worry about me, stay way – Kris said angrily. He pushed Nicole hand away. He wants to stand up for himself.

Kris, I’m sorry! I apologize for being late. I promise I will not do it again – Nicole bowed to sorry.

No need say sorry, because I have no intention of meeting you again – Kris said coldly.

Nicole dumbfounded when heard Kris say it. She really hurt. Although Nicole knew that it was her fault. Kris was angry with her ​​is perfectly reasonable, but she hoped he would forgive her.

As before, no matter what she does Kris was quick to forgive, he can't be mad at her for long. He never said the words that she had to hurt but now...

I’m really sorry! So don’t mad at me! If you want, you can beat me. I'll accept all the punishment from you – Tears in her eyes about to fall.

Too late! I want to rest. Back to your home! – Kris was about close the door but Nicole stopped him.

Kris, hear me explain. Today, there have suddenly happened so I… – Nicole tried to salvage the situation

What’s happen? – Kris cut her words.

I have… have to go hospital – Nicole stutter. She was hesitant for fear of Kris will misunderstand if he heard about Dongwoon.

You lied – Kris scoffs.

No, I tell the truth. Dongwoon was injured so I... – Nicole blurted out.

Just because this bastard you forgot me. I've been waiting for you like an idiot, while you're busy taking care of your boy – Kris really angry, he almost exploded.

Kris, not as you think – Nicole

No, I understand. You can go, turn back and take care of him. Don’t bother me anymore! – Kris slammed the door in front of Nicole.

He sat down on the floor, his back against the wall as soon as he closed the door. He felt all his strength disappeared because of anger. He hung his head in two the palm of his hand. Painful! "In my heart there is only you. I was just watching you like a sunflower just towards the sun, but you? But you never really see through my heart, have you ever treated me like any other guy that you met? I was hoping you could replace my painful memories, but today you even gave me a greater sadness"

Kris, please open the door! – Nicole knocked on the door and called him constantly, but Kris did not respond. All of her attempts have failed.

Kris, I’m sorry! I never want to make you sad – Tears rolled down her cheek. She against on the wall and said.

Inside apartments Kris also cried.
