[Yuri's POV]

"JOYUL!!!!!!"

My eyes grew wide when I saw the person by my doorstep.

"Gyuri!!!!!!" I hugged Gyuri and we both jumped up and down like childhood friends getting paired up for a game. Gosh, how I miss this girl so much.

We decided to cook for your birthday since the surprise earlier was a mess...or a fail?" she scratched her head and chuckled.

"Ah... Sakura  unnie it's not a fail. I am very thankful for the both of you. Thank you for the efforts unnies!!!" I smiled and hugged them both. I am so grateful for having them, for giving me this kind of birthday.

Chaeyeon and Sakura then left me and Gyuri because they have to entertain the visitors. They have been acting as my parents here since I'm far away from my mom. And of course, the
