A week later; Lara’s birthday

Junghee: Happy Birthday to you *starts singing*

Lara: Huh? *opens her eyes a bit*

Junghee: Happy Birthday, Dear Lara, happy Birthday to you! *claps*

Lara: *sits up and sees her breakfast on bed* wow *smiles at the sight of her food*

Junghee: Happy Birthday baby *kisses her forehead*

Lara: Thank you so much mom! *smiles and holds her chopsticks*

Junghee: Okay, you go take your time. We’ll be celebrating the rest of your birthday after school, okay?

Lara: Yes mom *eats her food* hmm *checks her phone*

“You have 16 new messages”

Lara: *giggles and opens her inbox*  … but not a single text from Baekhyun…

“KakaoTalk – Byun Baekhyun: I’ll walk with you going to school, okay?”

Lara: *spazzes, puts her food on the bedside drawer, rolls around her bed, accidentally falls on the floor, stands up, does a happy dance and replies*: Sure ^_^

Today, Lara tied her hair in half and put her new perfume on. She was too excited of what wonders does her best friend have in mind for her birthday.

Lara: *goes outside her house*

Baekhyun: *was waiting*

Lara: Heyya! *smiles*

Baekhyun: Well, you look pretty today *holds her hand*

Lara: *blushes* oh. Thank you *holds his hand back tight and holds the strap of her backpack on the other hand*

Baekhyun: You tied your hair today… anything special? *walks beside Lara*

Lara: hmm You’re just pretending… I guess *sighs* Nothing…

Baekhyun: trying to impress someone? *smiles*

Lara: what do you think? *raises both of her brows*

Baekhyun: *chuckles and grips on her hand tighter*

Lara:  I wish everyday it could be like this
