“Why did you just pull me like that? What if your parents wanted to be the first one to ride this with you?” I reasoned out.

“I already told you. They don’t mind. Woooh!” He had one arm out, and another one on the steering wheel.

“I didn’t know you drive. Have you been driving in China?”

“Yep. Learned by myself. Then got a license. Although I really didn’t have a car.”

“But now you have one.”

He looked at me, eyes disappearing from smiling too much. “I know, right? And I'm happy I get to spend my first ride with you. This is great!”

I watched him having fun behind the steering-wheel, and I felt happy just by looking at him. But I wonder, will he also smile like this when I give my gift?

I let him have the time of his life riding the car, and I was also having fun letting my hair fly through the wind.

“Sungchan,” Luhan called me.

“Hm?”

“Remember the hills?”

“Did you have fun today?”

He nodded like a kid. “Of course. A day with you is always fun. And add that amazing BMW convertible to catch. It was the best.”

“Hm. So you mean, the BMW is your best birthday gift?”

He nodded again. “But of course, I still haven’t gotten my birthday wish.”

I clasped my hands on my lap. I knew what he meant by that. “What is it?”

He looked at me, straight in the eyes. I saw the sincerity once again, just like the night he confessed. “You know what it is.”

I bit my lip.
