“Happy Birthday Mari!!” “shhh shhh… Eonnie~” Mari pulled Eunji on the side. “what? I saw your

brother greeting you on facebook! What are your plans later?” Eunji put her arms over Mari’s

shoulder. “Nothing. I need to keep on writing songs. We are so close on finishing the 10 tracks I

promised to do” “Come on! You need to go out it is your birthday anyway. You’re 26 and yet you

still don’t drink” Eunji trying so hard to convince Mari. Mari already finished 7 songs for the new

album. She didn’t know that she can do that in a span of 3 weeks but she did! Jaejoong wrote one

at the moment and they are polishing it. It is not bad but since he hasn’t done any song for the

past 5 years, he’s a bit rusty. Mari often see Jaejoong at home now. She cooks dinner for

Jaejoong and kyungtae whenever she can. “Hey Mari.. Did you know there is a new staff in my

department? The ladies said he is quite handsome. I haven’t seen him, have you?” “Eunji eonnie, I

haven’t been around the company for the past week how could I know.” Mari sat down on the chair

in front of Eunji. “I think you both are around the same age. Let’s invite him to your birthday party!!”

“what party?” Eunji and Mari look at the person who just talked. “Kyuntaekkiieee bear! You’re here!

Anyway Mari and I will celebrate her birthday later. You could join us, please bring your adorable

girlfriend! You know Mari here doesn’t have a lot of friends.” Mari sigh in defeat she really can’t

stop Eunji at the moment. “Asa! Okay just tell me where and what time. I will just tell hyung that I

will have to leave early.” “oh right the prince of darkness. He has a photoshoot today right for the

magazine?” “it is cancelled. We reschedule it tomorrow. They want it to be sunny outside but it is

cloudy” Eunji just nodded in response. “So he will be just at home?” Mari asked earning a skeptic

stare from eunji. Kyungtae smiled “No he said he’s going to meet his friend” “Better be a real friend

Kyungtaekkiee bear because I can’t handle any stress in my department at the moment. Gummy

eonnie being pregnant before the wedding surfaces and I had to show her wearing body tight

dress to prove its not true!” Mari and Kyungtae laughed. “Anyway I will just wait for your

messages. Message me noona okay?” “Of course! See you later!” Mari and Eunji wave goodbye

to Kyungtae “poor kid he has to face Prince of darkness every day.” Eunji uttered. “Eonnie... I

think...” “OH THERE HE IS!! My new staff! Nam Joo Hyuk ssi! Can you come here for a second?”

 

 

“Happy Birthday to youuuuu” Everyone clapped after singing the happy birthday song. Mari can’t

deny it that she felt special at the moment. Eunji rented a small closed portion of the restaurant.

“eonnie! I didn’t know you are that influential” Mari whispered. “I know the owners because

Jaejoong already threw a party here remember?” Mari shook her head. “Oh it was before you

joined the company. Anyway... make a wish before you blow the candles” Mari closes her eyes,

scrunch her nose and put her hands together. “ooohhh it seems like a one heavy wish” everyone

laughed. Mari smiled and opened her eyes. Carefully she blows the candle. “what did you wish

for?” Kyungtae asked “1 is to see my family soon and 2 is secret” Mari said. Mari really wants to

visit her family in the Philippines but she can’t since she has to work all the time. Her parents told

her that she doesn’t need to send money to them anymore since they already have a stable

source of income but she still insists. “Is the company is holding you  back? eonnie” Kyungtae’s

girlfriend Jeena asked. “No dear Jaejoong is holding her back” Eunji corrected “of course not!

Joonhyuk ssi might think our company is so evil and resign first thing tomorrow” Mari said looking

at the guy sitting across her. Joohyuk waved his hand. “No.. no... I know you are all joking” “What I

said might be partially true Joohyuk. Our little Mari here is Jaejoong’s slave” Kyungtae and Eunji

laughed after a high five. “No! He is not.. uhm... I am not his slave. I
