It was almost midnight when you all got home on your own places.

You just got home and threw yourself on your bed. Then you gasped. “Oh no.”

You checked the time: 11:53 PM.

You quickly get your phone and dialed Ljoe.

It rang three times before he answered it.

Ljoe brightened. “~~~~~~~~~-ah!!”

You laughed. “You thought I forgot, huh?” He also laughed.

This is a ritual. Whenever someone is celebrating his birthday in the group, somebody must always accompany him before his birthday ends.

In Ljoe’s case, you are always the one with him ‘til his b-day ends and the same with you.

“So, last 7 minutes before the clock strikes 12!!” You sang.

He chuckled. “Do your job well and make me happy!”

Your eyes widened. “Eh? What can I do in 7 minutes?!”

He laughed. *Silly, you can make me happy in anything that you do*

Then his gaze suddenly become serious. “I’m looking at the moon right now.”

You nodded. “Me, too.” He smiled.

Last 5 minutes.

“Happy 18th birthday Ljoe oppa. Thank you for coming into my life. Thanks also for being my bestfriend for almost 12 years now. I’m always thankful of that.” You said after a while.

Ljoe closed his eyes while listening to you. “I’m thankful, too.” He whispered.

You smiled.

“~~~~~~~~~~~~~-ah.” He called.

“Hmm?”
