*LISA'S POV*

"Jennnnnn.." sambit ko. "What." sagot naman nniya sabay tingin kung may nakakita bang ibang tao.

She's here again sa coffee shop. I'm planning to spend my birthday with her at sana pumayag siya. Kakapalan ko na mukha ko.

"Birthday na natin bukas." I smiled and she smiled din. "And?" She replied.

"Gusto mo ba icelebrate together? Parang dati." I added. "Pag-isipan ko." sabi niya and she took her coffee from my hand at dumiretso sa usual table niya dito sa coffee shop. Napangiti nalang ako as I remembered our days as two kids just having fun at walang pake sa mga problema sa buhay. Especially tuwing birthday namin.

We'd get cupcakes from Sister Marisol with candles on top at sabay namin yun hinihipan ni Jennie sa harap ng mga bata na kasama namin sa orphanage.

Anyway, Jennie stayed here sa coffee shop for about 30 minutes lang and I saw her fixing her things already. Then I saw her na papalapit sa counter.

"Text me the time and place. I'll pick you up." sabi niya sabay alis. Hehehehehe. Nagulat ako kasi pumayag siya at I'm glad I took this shot. I won't let her down.

The next day...

"Happy Birthday! Nagdadalaga ka na.. May date na ang bebe ku. Use protection okay!" pang-iinis sakin ni Jisoo at katabi naman niya si Seulgi na natatawa nalang din.

"Tell Jen happy birthday din sakanya. Ingat kayo, okay?" sabi ni Seul as she hugged me.

I went down dahil Jennie was already waiting for me. Nakakahiya dahil siya pa ang nagdala ng kotse at siya pa magddrive.

I saw a black BMW sa may driveway ng apartment and the windows rolled down, revealing Jennie and her cute gummy smile, she was waving at mukhang good mood siya today, syempre siguro birthday niya kasi no.

I went inside the car at nagulat ako dahil tinanggal niya yung seatbelt niya and she hugged me. Jennie Kim hugged me, when will your faves ever?

"Happy Birthday, Lis." she whispered against my ear. Inabot ko naman yung bag ko para kunin yung cupcake na binili ko for her. 

"Pikit ka." sabi ko. "Don't try anything funny." sabi niya as she crossed her arms pero pumikit din naman siya while smiling.

Sinindihan ko yung candle sa ibabaw ng cupcake. "Open your eyes." sabi ko and she did. Tangina, she's the most beautiful girl I ever laid my eyes on. Nakapagdecide na ko na ayaw ko na siyang maging friend.. or bestfriend.. hindi kakayanin ng puso ko. Oa na kung oa but these feelings don't lie. Ang tanging birthday wish ko lang is to make her feel that she's special to me.

"Happy Birthday, Jen." sabi ko and she blew the candle. "Where to?" sabi niya and I showed her the map.

After about 30 minutes, nakarating na kami sa isang Aquarium. Jennie loved the ocean when we were kids, kaya naman I decided to take her here.

"You read my mind." sabi niya as she got out of the car at dumiretso siya sa entrance ng aquarium like a kid jumping happily. It was cute.

"Look!"

"Lis! Look!"

"Ain't it cute!"

"No, stop. Look at this muna!"

Jennie's like a legit child na first time sa aquarium because she kept on tugging on my shirt pag may nakikita siyang interesting.

"Jellyfish, Li. Remember?" sabi niya with that gummy smile of hers. "How
