"Where are you going?" Suho questioned the tallest when he saw him getting up from the soccer ground after the tiring practice.

"Home. Where else?" Chan Yeol replied exhausted, completely drained from all the heavy training he did a while ago.

"So soon? But we didn't complete our practices yet. We still need to work on our positions." Kai whined, pretty much sulking at his hyung's abrupt undermine. They were actually practising for their inter college soccer meet that was coming a week ahead.

"Tch. I'll see to that tomorrow. I'm tired today. See ya!" Muttering, he vanished out of the door before the rest could even open their mouth in protest.

Chan Yeol was all the way grinning ear to ear while taking a walk to his home. Yes, walking. He felt walking in the open air would ease up his beat and bushed body and so he did. He didn't even consider the way his body would cringe for another action in no time from the previous one.

Speaking of his wide grin, that he had on his adorable face, that made him look liking an idiot, he sure had a reason behind it. He couldn't help thinking of all the events and surprises he's gonna face the next day. Next day? What's special? The words 'events' and 'surprises' would've given you a hint at least. It was his birthday. Everyone yearn for surprises and presents from their friends and families on their birthday. Well that was the fact in Chan Yeol's case too.

He was thinking of all the possible gifts his friends might have planned to get him surprised on his precious day - a beach side surprise party with all his friends singing him happy birthday with a big chocolate cake in the middle with glowing candles above; or a surprise plan for all the twelve of them to go for a vacation, Jeju island maybe; or when he reach home the next day from the practice, he might see a shining black Porsche infront of his house, how awesome it would be. Well as excited rather expensive as those may sound and as certain as he was that his friends would be presenting him none from the above, he was pretty sure that he was going to celebrate an unforgettable birthday ever, in a way or the other. Of course, they'd be giving him, wouldn't they? They are indeed his friends.

His long legs marched to his house cheerfully. He opened the giant gates of his house and the iron bolts expressed a faint moan. As soon as he reached the entrance, he opened the door and flopped his shoes haphazardly on the floor. "I'm back!" He announced commonly while sliding his slender feet inside the slip ons.

"So soon? You said you had practice." It was his sister sitting on the white satin couch in the centre of their luxurious living room, reading some sort of health magazine.

"Tch. Tired." Her eyes were glued to the shiny magazine papers that she didn't care to retrieve to look at her brother's sulking face as she knew that was the only thing he says whenever she questions him about his early arrival.

"I bought you a---"

"What? You bought me what? What what what?" He cut her off with his continuous insists as he ran to the couch and jumped beside her with a jerk causing her to jolt in reaction.

She gasped dropping her magazine."Yah! What's there to get so excited. I bought you an apron dumdass." She smacked his head.

"Ouch!" He winced at the sudden attack. "An apron? What is that for?"

"Heaven knows. It seemed that you were demanding mom to buy one just because you suddenly started developing love for baking." She replied as here eyes went back to read. "It's there on the kitchen counter. A yellow one."

"Tss. Apron....who wants an apron.." He frowned and left the room pouting which didn't get unnoticed by his smart sister. As smart as she always is, she clearly knew the reason behind her little brother's hanging face.

"Did Noona forget my birthday? Or that apron thing is her gift for me. Aishhh...." He ran his big hands through his hair frustratingly, making it messy within a second. Tiredness, which was oblivious on his body a few minutes ago, suddenly popped out making him plop upon his bed as soon as he reached his room. His eyes drowsily scanned the ceiling.

"Hope everyone gifts me something worth." He mumbled and dozed off to sleep.

_________

"Chan Yeol ah...."

"Chan Yeol ah...."

"Yah Channie!" And that was his sister's last straw. She threw a fluffy pillow right on top of him and the boy sprang up from the bed and sat upright.

"Eh N-Noona?" He asked rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"steady?" She asked him doubtfully when she noticed him sitting like a passed out drunkard on his bed. "Yah Channie....." she poked him on his arms and then cheeks. He flinched.

"Ow? Mmmm....." Gosh he was still sleepy and that was indeed getting on the nerves of his sister.

"You're ruining your moment Chan Yeol ah..." she whispered alarmingly and her hands begged for him to notice what was going on around him.

"What moment?" He scratched his head puzzled at his sister's words. She sighed hard shutting her eyes closed when they both got interrupted by a loud singing,

"~~Happy birthday to you~~"

"~~Happy birthday to you~~"

"~~Happy birthday to Channie~~"

"~~Happy birthday to you~~"

That was really surprising for Chan Yeol but frustrating for his sister. Well how wouldn't it be? After all she planned to surprise him sharp at midnight, apparently at the very first minute of his birthday with all his friends surrounding him, happily cheering and singing him birthday wishes. But this boy seemed to be a sleep head that he didn't grasp the situation even after he heard the singing. Chan Yeol grew even more puzzled when he saw all the twelve of his friends revealing one by one from behind his room door.

"Happy birthday Chan Yeol ah..." Suho was the first to wish him.

"Yo yo Happy birthday big ears..." obviously it was Luhan who came following the former.

"Saeng il chukka hae...." That was his dear pal Beak Hyun who came hollering into his room, ruining the calm moment.

"Happy birthday hyung." Sehun the maknae was the last to wish him after all the eleven of them. He approached Chan Yeol and presented him with a big bear hug.

All the twelve including Chan's sister stood bemused looking at him while mentally screaming what-the-hell-just-happened-to-him? Chan Yeol who was so oblivious about the whole of his surprise birthday party, stared back at them in awe.

Seemed like he caught what was happening actually, he whooped suddenly making everyone flinch at their spots "Oh yeah yeah. Oh my! I forgot...it's my birthday. How did I forget..." he started blabbering scratching his head at his own stupidity. That was right. How come he forgot his own birthday. Perhaps, he has been waiting for the moment, hasn't he?

"Noona, your plans and your stupid brother...Duh..." All shook their head at him, embarrassing him even more. He didn't miss catching his sister's death glares.

"Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Now... where are my gifts?" He beamed like a kid and everybody started chuckling at his childishness, completely forgetting the moment ago incident.

"Come here...." They started dragging him out from the bedroom to the living room.

"TADAAAA......!"

"Whoaa!" His jaws literally loosened touching the floor when he stood agape examining his own living room. Is this even his? From one corner to other, from the ceiling to the floor, every bit of thing was completely covered in flowers and colour lights.

There was glittering papers hanging from random places; colourful balloons splashed all over the floor; a big Happy birthday cutouts dangling at the middle and above all, at the centre of the living room stood a glass top table covered in golden velvet fabric and above laid a dark brown chocolate cake with candles (around twenty three) burning to emit dull yellow light rays.

One word to describe everything - Awesome. It was damn awesome that Chan Yeol stood awestruck at the beautiful sight right in front of his eyes.

"Guys did you just--  just pu-put all these up? For me? Oh my God!" And there he was, cupping his mouth with his hands, overwhelmed like a girl. The boys started howling at his sensitive outburst and that Chan Yeol couldn't help but to blush worser than a girl.

"C'mon. Let's not waste any time. Chan Yeol ah, cut the cake before it gets too late." His sister broke in and made sense, as a matter of fact.

"Yo yo! C'mon Chan Yeol..." Luhan as usual yoyoed gathering everybody's attention over the bug round piece of cake. Chan Yeol giggled and stood in the middle of the crowd, caught hold of the toy knife that was decorated with a red satin bow and cut a perfect triangular piece of the cake. All hands joined together to cheer him up with claps like seals.

He took the piece and waited for everyone to calm down. As they did, he turned towards his sister and held out his hand assuring her to initiate the party with the first bite. She smiled at her little brother's gentlemanly act, about well grown he has become that he didn't forget to treat his sister in the first place. She chuckled when he gestured her to eat soon and so she did by taking a limited bite from the chocolate cake.

The party which was all the time going calm and organised, the next minute, literally turned into a chaotic one with all the boys starting to run and chase each other, cramming the cake on each other's faces, bursting all the balloons like crazy kids, hovering on top of one another, everything just went out of control and the elderly girl had left with no choice but to go hide herself in the kitchen. It was indeed better instead of joining a group of loonies and turning into a loony as well.

"Gifts please." Chan Yeol showed his plams demanding them to hand over their presents all at once. Of course, obviously, he was growing totally impatient. There wasn't a second that he would wait any longer. His palms were still opened up as he eyes his friends suspiciously.

"Noona come here!" DO yelled out of the blue. His sister popped out from the kitchen. "Explain him." He said.

"Explain what?" Chan Yeol rather grew puzzled when he saw his sister smirking meaningfully at the boys and they just nodded back. Did they just forget to get him a gift?

"Chan Yeol ah, every time for your birthday you get presents from your friends, me, mom and dad right? It's what we get you. It's something we decide on our own, think and plan about your taste of likes and dislikes and get you a gift. You accept them no matter what. No matter even if you don't like it and it's out or below your expectations...." she was explaining him something that he literally felt like listening to a physics class. So out of the blue, so complicated but so true.

"What are you trying to tell me?"

"It's that...This time....let's make it different. You ask us whatever you like to get on your birthday. From North to South and from East to west, ask anything you like. Any single thing below the sun and we'll get you. By the sunrise tomorrow, we all can go out and get what you wanted." She beamed excitedly waiting for his response.

"Whaaaaaat?" He squealed after a moment or two. It really did take minutes for him to grasp all of his sister's words. "Really? Anything???" He couldn't still believe his own ears. Did he just hear it right? Did they said they'll get him anything he wants? Really? Well that would be impossible though. With the word 'anything' it's really possible to ask 'anything', isn't it?

But the thing is, what should he ask for? Anything means everything. Everything means all things on earth. It's impossible. It's really tough for him to ask specifically for a thing amongst plenty. So there's no other go he had to take up his top weakness - choosing. Choosing one among infinity.

What would he ask for ???

"Get me a girl."

Wow. That was the short and crisp reply came after hours and hours of thinking, planning and sketching out what exactly he wanted for his birthday.

"WHAT?" Tao screamed.

"What the heck?!" Suho enunciated a bit bewildered.

"Yo man. Really?" It was Luhan who was taken aback.

"Chan Yeol ah, are you sick?" DO touched his forehead to check on his conditions.

Speaking of his sister, she was standing rooted at her spot, eyes wide, flabbergasted.

"Guys guys relax. There's nothing to grow perplexed. It's just that get.me.a.girl. as simple as that. Not a big deal." He shrugged lethargically as if it was really not a big deal thing. How can't it be? Getting a girl is not as easy as shoving cake pieces onto each other's faces or as simple as eating that shoved piece. It is complicated.

"Are you serious Chan Yeol? Are you just playing around fooling us?" His sister spoke finally.

"No Noona. I'm serious. I want a girl. You know just as a companion. Life partner. Soul mate. Girlfriend. Doesn't all these terms sound heavenly?" He beamed really enjoying whilst pronouncing every word.

"Why do you look for a company when you have eleven of us sitting in front of you like fools? We are single too. Why do you feel out of the box?" Xiumin nagged him.

"You guys are my friends okay? I really want someone to whom I can be so close, I mean physically, whom I can hug whenever I like, kiss however I want, cuddle while sleeping, shower cheesy lines and stuffs which melts anyone on their knees, keep chanting sweet nothings....how wonderful it would be....." he sighed as he started relishing himself in his descriptions while closing his eyes and lifting his head above.

"I told you!" Beak Hyun yelled suddenly. "I told you he's gotten more addicted to watching dramas all day and night. I told you he'd go crazy. Look at that idiot....blabbering nonsense...." he frowned.

"Whatever. Just get me a girl. That's it!" He announced more like a demanding command and got up skipping to his room to continue with the rest of his sleep, beauty sleep probably.

"Gosh this tall man!" All scoffed in unison.

"Guys relax. It's his birthday today. Let him get what he wanted." The only girl pursed her lips and smiled at them assuringly. "I know what's gonna happen already. Just do what he asks you to do. I'll take care of the further things." Glancing at the boys, she sent one last reassuring look before jogging to her room.

"Blood doesn't change....what a brother and what a sister....!" Kris scoffed.

_______

"Chan Yeol! Chan Yeol! Look look look look.....that green tank top over there....she's hot right?" Beak Hyun exclaimed while pointing at a random girl in front of them.

"Do you even know what's 'Hot?' See how cranky she looks, if you have eyes." He snapped him earning a frustrated snort from the younger and that he ignored deliberately.

They were actually sitting in a park near their school. Since it had a good café, an Italian restaurant, spa and an American boutique as it's neighbourhood, there was no doubt that a lot of nice hot girls would be strolling around.

All the eleven of them have been suggesting different girls to Chan Yeol and he was just rejected all of them with either least bothered shrugs or 'not my style' pouts between which the latter one really got upon Kris' nerves and that was the reason he quit the get-a-girl-for-Chan yeol project all at once and he was now sitting at the corner of a park bench with a poker face.

"C'mon Kris. Help us with the project..." Lay called him as he saw him sitting leg upon another, hands folded over his chest and looking elsewhere.

"Get-a-girl-for-Chan yeol project is not my style." That was it. No one dares to force him further when he's in his own galaxy. Lay sighed while shaking his head and went back to join the most stupidest project ever. 

"Chan Yeol ah, that long hair girl?" Luhan pointed out a fresh girl.

"No no. Too much hair. I might end up having a girlfriend who spends half of the day combing her hair." He jolted when he imagined himself spending time with that extremely long haired girl. So dreadful he thought.

"Hey that girl's looking cute, isn't she?" DO pointed out a short girl with a short hair and wearing a denim shorts. She was busy buying something at the restaurant.

"She'd be more suitable for you than for me DO." He laughed and that made DO shoot him death glares.

"Perfect! That girl over there...." Tao showed a girl who was immensely listening to some music, nodding her head occasionally while sitting on the grass ground. She was looking cute though. With big eyes, cute face, a bit chubby cheeks, she indeed seemed perfect enough for Chan Yeol.

"Well well... she's cute. Nice...." he nodded as if he was okay with the Chinese maknae's choice. A smile erupted from all of their lips out of relief. "I think I'll choose her." She smiled and he was about to get up to talk to her when he noticed a very handsome, note the word - 'manly' guy approached the girl and back hugged her showering her neck with lovely kisses. Whow whow! Too much skinship.

"Oops. I guess she's reserved already." Kai muttered sarcastically earning a smack from Beak Hyun on his head. Chan Yeol sighed as he sat back on the bench pretty vexed.

The boys continued visually checking on the different types of girls in and around the park and to their tiredness, they gone through almost all. None seemed to please Chan Yeol's expectations. Not even one matched his taste. Well speaking of his taste, he himself didn't know what was the type he preferred.

"Don't I really have luck in having a girlfriend? Why nothing is working out for me." He mumbled beneath his lips and that was clearly heard outside, well at least for the eleven of them.

"That's why we warned you to come out of that creepy gym during class hours. You keep bunking classes and lock yourself up in the gym all day and come out only after dusk. How the hell can you possibly expect girls to come after you?" Chen scolded him. Chan Yeol pouted when he realised how reserved and gym sick he had been all these days. Even his own class girls had no idea about him. So obviously, none of the other class girls even knew his name.

"With that abnormal sports talent, unbelievable body height and awesome manly abs you could've easily drawn attention of many. Not to get surprised, even lady teachers would've fallen for you. Tch tch" He shook his head,  obviously sulking over Chan Yeol's now even more pouting face.

"Noticed Kai, Luhan or Lay? They are just exposing themselves everyday with their talents and so they do always have crowd of girls chasing them all time. You should expose too. Like them. You should make hot girls swoon over you Chan Yeol. Swoon.Over.You." He added enunciating the last words which at once pierced Chan Yeol's so far stupid brain into pieces exposing all his hidden senses and sanes.

He nodded and sighed again as he stood up. "I guess, this is enough. I'm not gonna get a perfect girl, or at least today. C'mon guys. Let's go." His face was too pathetic for them to handle. Even though they were slightly relieved about the fact that he actually gave up on the most toughest choice in the world, they still couldn't help but to feel sorry for the birthday boy. His face was hanging when he walked past them looking at his foot.

"Don't worry Chan Yeol ah...you'll be getting the most perfect girl ever. All you must do is to wait." Suho incorporated some senses into his blinded one.

"Tch. I badly want a company...." he pouted again.

"Noona, we're back!" They announced when they flipped their shoes and got inside Chan Yeol's house.

"So soon? What happened? Did you find him a girl?" She beamed while walking out of the kitchen while carrying a plate full of cookies.

"I'm afraid no." Suho sighed as he eyed Chan Yeol worryingly.

"Yesss! I knew it!" She squealed jumping around the place as if she was already waiting for it to happen. All were perplexed by her sudden exclamation. She impatiently fished out her phone from her pocket and dialled a number restlessly. "Hello, Mr.Kim? Oh yes...yeah....we'll come." She cut her call. "C'mon guys." She squealed again and started walking towards the door.

Not sure where she was calling them, they all got up and followed her before she could vanish out of the sight. Chan Yeol was the one to get extremely puzzled at his sister's out of the box behaviour.

She lead them out of the main door into the front porch and started excitedly glancing at the front gate. Seemed as though she was waiting for someone's arrival. "Noona who are you waiting for?" Chan Yeol asked her.

"Wait wait...." she gestured him. "Coming!" She sang frantically nudging his arms. His eyes travelled to the gate and he was surprised to see a black shining Mercedes Benz entering his house, heading towards them.

"Whoa what is THAT?" Thirteen pair of Asian eyes were glued to the vehicle as it came rolling it's wheel and halted right in front of them. A man around his forties got out from the front seat besides the driver's. He seemed like one Butler of an ancient mansion. He got on his feet and bowed respectfully at his sister.

"Did you bring her Mr.Kim?" She asked him and he nodded at once in reply. Looked like he was the one to whom she talked to, a while ago. She turned and beamed at Chan Yeol. "You've got to meet someone." She smirked.

Chan Yeol's brows knitted at it centre. He tilted his head trying to catch up with his sister's words. "Clara? Come out." She yelled turning to the side of the car.

Mr.Kim who was standing obviously smiling at the whole if the live drama, stepped forward and open the back door of the car. At once,a pair of long slender pearl white legs landed on the porch; followed by dashing white body revealing long slender hands with sharp pedicured nails, invisible neck due to the long silky length of the shining blonde hair, ears are big just like his, eyes are unbelievably round and dark. She was totally......stunning!

OH

"I love her Noona." Chan Yeol mumbled standing dumbfounded by her beauty.

That's it! He said it! He said he loves her in just three seconds of admiring her. He really fell. He fell for the very first sight. He knew he wasn't a person who fall so easily. He knew his heart wasn't that sensitive. But Damn! He really did fall.

"Oh my gosh! She's soooo hot and y....." she shivered at the sight of her as she walked a little alluringly towards him.

"Clara, say Hi to Oppa...." Channie's sissy sang gesturing her to get near him.

Clara stood there for a moment in silence, gazing at the unbelievably tall and handsome lad in front of her. Who could resist such a cutie pie? At once she stretched her legs and came running towards him with a smile full of love. Oh my gosh! I guess she already started falling for him. Everything seemed to be in a slow motion.

Her stunning body with the long shining blonde hair glittered in his pupils. She even had a cute red bow tied to a bunch of hair and that dangled in harmony with her motions. Not after a long time, she reached his front and before he could even greet her, she flopped herself up on him causing him to fall backwards hitting his on the hard floor.

"Whoooaaaa!!!" He screamed in the midst of his hefty laughter as he was enjoying her on top of him. Her eyes were too close to his and so did their lips. They both stared for a second or two and Clara took the initiative of closing the distance between their faces.

"Hahahaha" He started laughing hard, almost rolling on th floor when she started showering him with wet sticky kisses all over his face. "Gaahh!"

The rest of the people's satisfied chuckles played as the background music.

"I guess you've got the most perfect girlfriend ever." Chen teased.

"Yo yo enjoy man!" Luhan bent down to pat his still on the floor laughing hard at Clara's endless showering kisses.

"He looks happy though" Beak Hyun smiled overwhelmingly.

"Yea Yea MALTESE is all yours" Lay smirked.

After what seemed to be ten hours, Clara finally stopped kissing him. Chan Yeol's laughter died slowly as he stared at her lovingly.

"I love you Clara..." he beamed at her.
