As I was sitting and typing the last report of the day, computerwriting it allover again, I couldn't help but to think about Donghae, because there was definitely something in his eyes that was telling me that something was wrong. Apparently it was only because of his stress and his tight schedule over work but why did I feel like that there was something wrong anyway ?

I finished the last sentence before saving it down and turning off the computer.

I was staring blankly ahead, knowing that there was definitely something that wasn't right and it felt like i had forgotten something, I just couldn't figure out what it was. However, it was annoying me a lot

The sound from the elevator was suddenly heard and I saw JaeJoong coming out from the elevator, holding a white box and a huge black plastic bag onto the hanger

"You need help?" I asked slowly

JaeJoong looked up, surprised to see me here

"I thought you've already gone home" He smiled

Not only did I feel somewhat weird when that beautiful smile was fired off, I felt happy... and nervous as well

"I'm still here... I was working on the last report and I just finished it" I said slowly

"Oh...That's.. good" He said

I chuckled awkwardly

The silence took over as neither of us didn't know what to say and I was wondering if he was planning on saying something else or could I go home?

"Oh right..errm... I was thinking about delivering this to your house by noon tomorrow but since you're here, I can give you a ride home along with the shoes and the dress?" He suggested

"That's my dress?" I asked slowly while looking at the huge plastic bag

"What's wrong?"

"The dress seems to be.. massive" I said and looked at him

"Oh, but the theme and concept for tomorrow are evening gowns. So I went down to the wardrobe to take out the evening gown I designed last year for the charity award" He said

"Are you sure? I can just go and buy something..." I said slowly

"Look Yuna, the benefits with working at a fashion house is the advantages of wearing the exclusive clothes. Now you're my assistant, you're allowed to wear anything you want okay?" JaeJoong said warmly

"Uhm.. okay.." I said quietly, feeling a bit embarrassed

"I'm just getting my carkeys and I'll meet you by the elevator

As JaeJoong hurried inside his office, I bended down to put the calendar of mine inside the purse. Although, being the clumsy person I am, I dropped it down on the floor and the calender opened itself.

"Great..." I sighed quietly

I bended down to pick it up but then I saw my own letters on the page, that I had written

Tomorrow was Donghae's birthday!!!

"Crap!" I cursed as I sadly sat down on the chair

Now I remembered the cinema and the plans we had made! Not to mention I had forgotten my best friend's birthday, am I really a good friend if I forgot my best friend's birthday?

"Hey... You're.. okay?" I looked up to see JaeJoong looking at me worriedly. His eyes was warm, concern displaying in his eyes and he was sincere, not lying about it.

"I..I'm fine" I stuttered

"You're sure? You look so tired? Maybe I should cut down your hours a bit" JaeJoong said

I shook my head

"I'm fine... really"

We took the elevator down to the basement and got inside JaeJoong's black Audi sportcar. During the drive home, I didn't say anything, leaning back against the seat, hoping that he would notice the tiredness of mine and not speak to me. Seems like he got the signals because he soon some music and not only was it soft music, but plain, instrumental piano music, easy to fall asleep and relax to

We arrived at my place about 20 minutes later and JaeJoong opened the door for me and carried the plastic bag with my dress and the box with shoes, helped me carrying it inside

"Thanks Jae, I appreciate it a lot"

JaeJoong nodded

"I'll pick you up tomorrow okay? Dong Ho is fixing your hair tomorrow and I told him to come by your house by 2 pm tomorrow, so I'll pick you up around 5 or 6" He smiled

I nodded

"Okay.."

"Yuna? You're sure you're okay? Something's bothering you" He said

I shook my head

"I'm just tired. Thank you for taking me home" I smiled

He nodded

"Okay.. I'll see you tomorrow then"

I did notice that he was unwillingly leaving the house, apparently he just wanted to make sure that I was fine. Not that I was, I was feeling terrible. I looked at the clock to see it was 9 pm.

An idea was slowly forming inside of my head as a smile was widening and shaping my mouth

~Donghae~

As I was drinking the glass of redwine, staring down at the city from my penthouse on the 14th level of one of the highest buildings in Seoul, I was thinking about Yuna.
Not only did I feel a bit disappointed about her forgetting my birthday, I was also feeling a bit.. sad .

I had started to question whether my decision about leaving Korea was a good one because this may have affected my relationship to my family, and mostly my dear friends.

I sighed heavily as I sat down on the couch, staring outside the glass windows, looking down on the cars that was driving. The lights from the streets, and the cars was lightening up the roads and you could see somewhat or a few dots of the people walking on the pavements

*Ding Dong

The sound from the doorbell scared me and I stood up immediately, looking at the hallway, listening to the doorbell if it would ring again.

The sound was heard again and I looked at my clock to see five minutes past midnight. Who would come by this late in the evening? And mostly, who knew where I lived? I had moved around a lot and also this building was guarded by the security and you needed to have a code in order to get in here..

The doorbell rang again and I put the glass of wine away, on the table as I slowly was turning all the lights on while heading towards the door.
I took a deep breath before opening it

"Saeng il Chukha Hamneeda
Saeng il Chukha Hamneeda
Sarang Ha neun Donghae ah~
Saeng il Chukha Hamneeda"

The cake was hiding the actual person's face but slowly she lowered it and I saw a wide and happy smile on Yuna's familiar and beautiful face

I felt the happiness devour me as I instantly smiled

"Happy Birthday Fishie" She smiled warmly
