Ri In’s POV

I sat restlessly on my chair, thinking. I felt like I was missing something. I sighed. I didn’t what I was missing but there was something.

“Sunny, is there anything I need to do today or is there something important I must do?” I asked Sunny through the receiver.

“Um…let me check,” she said and there was a moment of silence before she spoke up again. “Ah yes, today is Mr. Junsu’s birthday.” I was shocked. Today was his birthday? How didn’t I know?

“Okay, that’s it for now. Thanks Sunny.” I managed to say while recovering from my shock.

“Okay. If you need anything, then just tell me.” She said and the line went dead. I thought about what I could do for Junsu’s birthday. I should cook him dinner! Exactly, that’s what I should do.

“Sunny, do I have anything else to do today?” I asked through the receiver.

“Um…apparently, no.” she said.

“Okay, I will be off work early today. Can you please inform Mr. Kim about it?” I asked.

“Yes, I can. Please excuse me for being curious, but, exactly what are you planning to do?” Sunny inquired.

“Oh, just some things for Junsu.” I confessed.

“But don’t you remember last time?” she asked. I felt a wave of pain past me. Why does she have to bring that up again?

“Sunny, can you please not talk about that again? I feel very sick every time there is something related to it.” I said.

“Oh, okay. I am sorry for bringing that up.” Sunny apologised.

“That’s OK. Just don’t talk about it again. I will be clearing some stuff here and I will go.” I told her.

“Yes.” Sunny said and the line went dead again.

Sunny’s POV

Why did I tell her it was Junsu’s birthday? Now she will do her best to please Junsu. I was placed my mouse over the file ‘Vid of scene’ meaning it was the video that I took when I was outside the whole scene last time. I was hesitating wherever I should watch it. I glanced around the whole office and looked. Everyone seem preoccupied to their work. I double clicked the file and it opened. I watched it, making sure the noise wasn’t too loud.

I was lost in thoughts when I finished watching the video. I wanted to send the video to Junsu but I was thinking that, what happens if Ri In will find out? Will she hate me? I unconsciously already attached the file to an email with Junsu the receiver. I gasped. When did I even do that? I quickly pressed the ‘Clear All’ button but only resulting to pressing the ‘Send’. I gasped loudly. I was in big trouble now. What do I do now? I started to panic. I am in totally big trouble!

Junsu’s POV

I was looking at some stuff on the internet for the project when a window popped up, indicating that I had mail. I opened the link up and saw an email with nothing in it but a file attachment. I grew curious. Who would send something like this? I downloaded the attachment and watched it. It was the footage of the time Ri In saw us in the room together, with our lips bleeding. Who took this video?! I then received a phone call. I picked it up.

“J-Junsu?” the other line rang. I immediately knew it was Ri In.

“What?!” I hissed.

“C-can you come home early tonight?” she asked.

“No!” I said sharply.

“C-can you just, please? I will be waiting.” She said and hung up the phone. I placed the phone angrily on the set. How dare she hang up on me? I thought about going back home early tonight when Taeyeon broke my train of thoughts

“Hey, oppa! Will you go with me tonight to celebrate your birthday?” Taeyeon asked. I completely forgot about my birthday. Was this why Ri In told me to come home early? I looked up at Taeyeon and instantly forgot about Ri In. I smiled up at Taeyeon.

“Sure, we can go now, if you want.” I said to her.

“Certainty! Let’s go now!” she exclaimed and dragged me outside.

Ri In’s POV

I finished making dinner for Junsu. Being a maid before helped a bit. I know all of Junsu’s favourite food, which I finished cooking. I looked at the clock on the wall and it revealed the time of 5.30 PM. Junsu should be home in about half an hour. Before I was home, I bought Junsu the limited edition soccer ball where there is only three in the whole world. I smiled at the thought of his reaction. What will it be? Surprised? Happy? I will have to just wait and see. 

I paced around the kitchen restlessly. I looked up at the clock and it showed the time of 6.30 PM. I continued to wait. Even though I knew Junsu wouldn’t care if he came home early or not, I still had a flicker of hope that he would at least come home a bit early so I can celebrate his birthday with him.

He still hasn’t come yet. It’s not past midnight, I continued to tell myself, it’s still his birthday. My leg suddenly started to hurt. I grabbed it in pain. The doctor had told me take care of myself and not to tire myself out too much. The nerve will have contact with my cell that made my leg get injured and it would ache very badly. If I continued to get ached, then it would be dangerous to my health, making me not be able to be pregnant. I would usually go home early, trying to avoid that. I couldn’t risk the chances. If I sleep now to rest, then I will miss Junsu’s birthday.

I hopped, while trying to bear the pain, to get some pain-killers. I opened the cupboard in the kitchen and look through the medicines in there. I searched every bottle but I couldn’t find the pain-killers at all. D.mn! I forgot to buy them. Now I have to suffer the pain but thinking about what Junsu’s reaction might be made me stand strong and continue to wait. I slowly sat on the chair and the pain eased a little. I sighed in relief. At least it wasn’t going to increase. I rest my chin on my hand which was on the table and sighed again. I continued to wait with the pain piercing my leg.

He still hasn’t come home yet. But there is still two and a half hours left before twelve o’clock so I continued waiting. I looked at the cake in front of me that I made for Junsu. I was a simple cake with sweet strawberry on top.

10.30 PM

11.30 PM

I gave up hope. If he wanted to come home early, then he would have come already. I started to stand up slowly, trying not to make my leg hurt. Suddenly I heard the sound of keys outside. I started to get excited. I heard Junsu’s steps closer and closer. I hope raised until he swiftly passed the kitchen, proceeding to the stairs.

“Junsu?” I called out to him.

“What!?” he swatted. I flinched at his voice. I took up all my courage and said,

“J-Junsu, I made c-cake or you to c-celebrate your b-birthday.”

“And?” he tempted.

“H-how about we e-eat?” I asked him softly.

“Me? Eat your food?” he asked, disbelievingly.

“Y-yes.” I stuttered.

“Do you know you are very pathetic? After what you did, you still pretend to act all nice and friendly?” he asked. I was confused. What did I ever do?

“W-what are you talking about, Junsu?” I asked.

“You know what I am talking about!” he boomed and went upstairs with me watching his back, feeling pain each every step he took. I looked towards the kitchen and saw the cake. It looked so good to be wasted. I slowly walked into the kitchen, trying to choke up the tears, and got a knife. I settled down onto the chair and started to sing:

“생일축하합니다
생일축하합니다
사랑하는김준수 씨
생일축하합니다.

Saeng il chuk ha ham ni da
saeng il chuk ha ham ni da
sarang ha neun Junsu shi
saeng il chuk ha ham ni da.”

My voice started to crack. I was crying. I quickly wiped the tears off using the back of my hand and started slicing the cake. I sliced one insignificant part of the cake to eat. With one swift move, it cut off completely. I carefully placed it onto the plate and started eating. This time, I didn’t stop the tears that were flowing down my cheeks. It would be useless. The cake I ate was supposed to be sweet but now it is all salty because of my tears. After eating, I cleaned everything and slowly walked up the stairs. I smiled to myself bitterly. How could I think that Junsu will eat a peaceful meal with me?

I lied on my bed and let the tears find its way out of my eyes while I cried myself to sleep.
