-Hyuna's POV-

Ever since the day the MV was released, 2pm has been really bus with their promotional activities. There were many days when I didn't get to talk to Nickhun at all. I could only practice hard, study hard and hope that the day I get to meet Nickhun comes soon.

I was going to have my exams before the December holidays. I strove hard to do well for my papers and Emmnet was certainly a great help. He was always there to help me with my questions and to help me memorise for my exams. It came with little surprise as I received my results on my first week of holidays, I really did get distinctions for all my modules. It was quite an achievement for me. I was happily running around TopStars building looking for Emmnet when I found him in the practice room. He was looking so serious as he was on the phone. "Sure sure, I'll get her ready. I'll be there at the airport on that day." I heard Emmnet say. He looked up and saw me in the reflection. "What's going on? Why do you sound so serious?" I asked Emmnet.

"Oh. It's nothing much. Now, let's get to practice. Stella is about to finish your song." Emmnet simply replied. I looked at him as I waited for him to continue. "Well, it's not really nothing either. Stella is planning this huge party for you. It was suppose to be a surprise but I'm guessing that it's better for you to know beforehand." Emmnet finally continued.

A party! I certainly loved parties but I had this feeling that the type of parties Stella plans are not the type that I have in mind. I put aside my worries and got down to practice with Emmnet.

Day after day, practice after practice, that's how my holidays went by. I was expecting a flight to Korea but Stella had insisted that it wasn't necessary. I was feeling quite miserable, there was nothing for me to look forward to. I was just grabbing a drink in the kitchen one day when I heard her voice. "Well, I need everything to be perfect on that day. Money is not an issue. Just make sure that what I requested for is delievered on time." Stella said to the person on the line as she walked into the kitchen. She dropped her bags and immediately gave me a tight hug as soon as she saw me. "I've missed you soooooo much. I can't wait to tell you about the party that I have planned for you." Stella gushed. As she sat me down and started on the details, my worries have been confirmed. It was certainly going to be a huge party with important people. It was going to be my first party or rather official event ever since I joined TopStars. Stella wanted to use this chance to widen my connections.

As 25 December creeped closer, I got more moody. I really want to see Nickhun and spend a quiet christmas with him. As a matter of fact, Christmas was my birthday and I was not looking forward to spending it with strangers. Stella spends every waking moment convincing me that I need to know more people and planning the details. It gets pretty exciting yet boring at times.

All too soon, 25 December arrived. As soon as the clock striked 12 midnight, I sent a message to Nickhun wishing him "Merry Christmas". However, he didn't reply my message at all. In fact, he didn't reply for the rest of the day too. As afternoon came, I was getting worried. He would usually reply no matter how busy he is. I couldn't concentrate on what Stella was doing for me. I sat at the vanity table as Stella worked her magic on me.

I didn't even pay attention to the dress. I blindly got into the car and let Stella bring me around. Finally, in the car, I got a message! "Merry Christmas to you too~" thats all it said. I couldn't quite believe it. I worried for the whole day and that's all Nickhun says. But I had no time to call him because I was already being ushered out of the car.

I do believe the shock I was feeling is quite obvious on my face. The whole setting is quite impressive, I have to give Stella that much credit. There was even a red carpet and flowers overflowing everywhere. After I took in the setting, I was more aware of all the eyes that were fixated on me. I blushed as I followed my way through the crowd with Stella. Here and there I heard whispers of Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday. I blindly nodded and said thanks but to no one in particular. It was a pretty spectacular feeling.

I made a mini impromtu speech and Stella started the whole party proper. From that moment on, everyone seemed to want to shake my hands. I tried to be nice about it and smiled throughout. However, I couldn't help but feel sad within. Nickhun has forgotten my birthday and I still can't get to call him.

Finally after thousands of handshakes and introductions, it was time to cut my cake. I stood at the mini stage and opened my mouth in disbelief as I saw the cake that was rolled in. It was a three-layered cake decorated with more flowers. It was so huge and pretty. It was pretty frightening and exciting as everybody sang me the birthday song. The song was ending when another cart was rolled in. I turned around and was shocked once again. The cart was filled with presents, in fact the person pushing the cart seemed to be having problems. However, my focus was not on the cart. It was on the person. I stared in shock as Nickhun stepped out from behind the cart and walked towards me smiling so brightly. As the song ended, Nickhun stood beside me and I confusingly cut the cake. I heard loud cheering and it was time for dance. Nickhun steered me away from the crowd he took my hand. Obviously, it was quite an impossible task since I was suppose to be the highlight today. In the end, we ended up on the dance floor and we were waltzing our way through the crowd.

"You look absolutely stunning tonight. Happy Birthday! I hope I'm not too late." Nickhun whispered in my ear. I blushed a thousand shades of red. "You got me really worried. But seeing you here makes everything else insignificant. I've missed you so much." I whispered back. After 3 songs, Nickhun steered us out of the dance crowd. He led me to one corner of the room and that's when I saw him. Our eyes locked but I could not see any emotions in his eyes. As the crowd cleared a bit, I saw all the other members there. They all took their turn to hug and wish me happy birthday. He was the last and his hug seemed to last longer than the others. He said happy birthday too but there was something in his eyes. He didn't seem entirely happy. As Nickhun put his arm around my waist, I pushed my thoughts about Junho aside and focused on the party.

After about another hour of dancing and chatting with the crowd, the party officially ended. The crowd seemed to be in high spirits and they were taking their time to clear the place. I stood by the door with Stella and Emmnet and smiled as the crowd wished me again. I couldn't help but sneak peeks at 2pm as they stood slightly behind us. Everytime I turned, I'd meet the eyes of Nickhun and Junho, both showing different meanings.

After what felt like eternity, it was finally time to go home. I just had to visit the ladies for a momnt first. As I got out, a guy walked into my path. He seemed a bit drunk and he said,"Hey pretty, care to spend the night with me?" Then he tried to lean on me. There was little that I could do because my path was blocked by him. It was then when I felt an arm around my waist. "Sorry but she's taken." Junho said and he led me away. As soon as we got to the lobby, he removed his arm from my waist. I can't realy describe my feeling but it was pretty much dissappointment. "You really should be more careful, especially when you look so stunning." Junho said quietly as we made our way back to the ohers.

"I don't. I'm hardly pretty like Stella." I retorted. Junho simply spun me around and told me to look in the mirror. That was the first time in the whole night that I really took a good look at myself. My face was done up delicately, the eyeliner was not too thick but thick enough to make my eyes piercing. My face was slightly flushed from all the dancing. As I took a good look as my dress, I realised how much effort Stella has put in. The dress was white and slightly off shoulder with pieces of lace and fabric decorating the piece. The cut and design of the dress really brought out my figure without me revealing too much skin. It was floor lenght and I looked especially tall and slim with me dress and heels. I couldn't help but feel disbelief. I still can't believe that the girl in the reflection is me. I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard Nickhun. "Hey dear, you got me worried. You were gone for quite some time." I looked away from my reflection to see Nickhun flash a look at Junho.

"Oh. Junho just saved me from a drunk guy. It's nothing much. Let's go." I said as I continued to make my way to the car.

That night, Nickhun tucked me into bed and pecked my head before he left me to sleep. I was really tired but I couldn't help but feel confused. Nickhun was unbelievably sweet but the look in Junho's eyes just seem to unsettle me. I told myself to ignore it and finally fell asleep, dreaming of both Nickhun and Junho.
