He eyes were closed and he was listening to music by the window. He opened his eyes. When he saw you, he turned and walked away. You put down your hand and stood there, confused."That's strange, I'm sure he saw me." You walked away, thinking for a while. "Oof!" You fell backwards, but someone caught you just before you hit the ground."Still clumsy, I see," Dong Ho said, amused. You smiled sheepishly."Where are you heading to today?" you walked alongside Dong Ho."Heading to Kibum's room to discuss the party.""What party?" you asked curiously. You hadn't known that there would be a party soon."Oh, today's Kevin's birthday," Dong Ho said. "Didn't he tell you?""Really?" your face lit up, but then you bit your lip. Kevin had been ignoring you recently. You weren't sure, but you guessed that it was because of what happened the other day. *I wonder if he still thinks I like Kiseop...*Dong Ho waved his hands in front of your face. "Hey, are you still with me?" he chuckled. You blinked and came back to reality. "Oh, sorry!" you smiled.Dong Ho grabbed your hand and the two of you appeared in Kibum's room. He was lying on his bed, his cards spread out across his matress while he inspected every single one of them."____, you're here to get ready for Kevin's birthday too?" he looked up. You nodded. "Well, since you're his girl, you should be the one to celebrate it with him," Dong Ho said, sitting down next to his brother and motioning you to come next to them as well."Just don't sit on the cards," Kibum warned. You made extra sure that you didn't."But you're his brothers, you're family. We should have a big party together," you replied, sitting down.Kibum shook his head. "Kevin hates big events, all types. Well, unless he plans it. The best birthday present would be that he could spend it with you.""Yeah, we all know what you are to him, ____," Dong Ho winked.You looked down. *You're wrong, I'm nothing to Kevin. I was brought here to be company, someone he could be with when he was bored. At most, I'm a friend. Nothing more.* You had known this a long time ago."So here's what you do," Kibum said. Suddenly, the cards were replaced by a giant book, with the words, "Lovely Laces" engraved on the cover. He flipped to a page where you saw a picture with the most beautiful white dress, along with instructions on how to make it. "Get up and stand there." You did so. With a snap of his fingers for added effect, because Kibum liked it like that, the dress on you."Woah!" You stumbled and Dong Ho caught your hand to stop you from falling. "It's very pretty... but why am I wearing this?" You twirled around lightly, touching the skirt of the dress."I'm just testing it. You're going to wear this tonight.""Why?" you asked.He clapped his hands and you appeared in your casual dress again. "Take this," he handed you the pretty white dress. "Wear it tonight and go surprise him.""Okay! I know, I'll bake a cake for him too," you said, excited at the idea. Dong Ho grabbed your hand and pulled you out the door. Kibum resumed his card practicing. "Come on, ____! I'll show you the kitchen where you can bake your cake. We never use it because we can just make food appear, but I guess you humans like doing things the old fashioned way. After that, let's go play with that rabbit again." You frowned. "The rabbit's not chocolate anymore! You can't change it back," you warned him."Don't worry, I'm not even thinking about that." A plate of with a hot chocolate souffle appeared in his hand. You stared at it, was to delicious to ignore. Dong Ho saw the longing in your eyes and gave a bit to you."Ahhh~" You deligently opened your mouth and he fed you. You sighed as the light, sweet taste of the chocolate tingled your senses. "That's so yummy!" Another plate appeared in Dong Ho's hand and he gave it to you. "Thank you!" You took another bite and felt like you were in heaven. The souffle reminded you of your mom's baking. She had loved to bake cakes and treats for your family.Dong Ho watched you, smiling. *It's impossible not to like being around you. You're too adorable.* ***********Kevin stood on his own balcony, deep in thought. *Does she, does she really like him and not me?* He couldn't forget it, he couldn't not think about it. *Why does Kiseop always get every little bit of happiness and love that I will never receive?* He sighed.Closing his eyes, he thought of your little sister. There was a flash and he gasped, opening his eyes again. His head was pounding with pain, yet he ignored it and it slowly faded away. Breathing heavily, he stood there, full of worry. What he had seen had greatly troubled him, and yet he knew it would trouble you more. The question was, should he tell you? He knew you had a right to know, but he didn't want to see you upset. He pondered over this for a great deal of time.There was a soft knock on the door which brought him back to his senses. "Come in," he said, distracted.You opened the door and walked in slowly. Kevin could sense that it was you, but he stayed on his balcony and didn't turn to face you."What is it?" He heard footsteps and knew that you were coming closer to him. You quickly covered his eyes from behind. "What are you doing?""Please," you said softly. "Can you listen to me just this once?"Kevin didn't reply. "Just keep your eyes closed, and follow where I tell you to go, okay?"You directed him back into his room, and made him sit on his bed. "Don't peek!" you said quickly. He grinned."Alright, open them!" Kevin opened his eyes and looked at you, shocked. You stood in front of him, holding a small, pretty white birthday cake, with three gold candles shining brightly in the dark room. "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you~" You sang sweetly to him, smiling."Happy Birthday Kevin, blow out your candles!" Kevin blew them out and the room was filled with darkness once more. You placed the cake down on the bedside and sat down next to him."Thank you," Kevin said gratefully. "No one has ever done that before, even I didn't remember my own birthday.""I knew it was three candles, because you're around three hundred years old," you held out three fingers. Kibum had told you that much, while you were deciding on the decorations for the cake.Kevin frowned. "Don't say that, you make me sound really old." You laughed. He cut the cake and fed a slice to you. The two of you shared it, feeding one another. *At times like this, it feels like we're actually in love with one another,* you thought blissfully. You wished that that was true."So, what did you get me?" Kevin asked.You stopped eating, the cake just in front of your mouth. "I forgot to get you a birthday present!" you squealed.Kevin clapped his hands, smirking. "I knew it!" He chuckled at your panicked expression. "Don't worry, I know what I want for a present," he said.Kevin looked at you, wearing your pretty dress with your hair in curls down your back. A little bit of cream was on your mouth. *What am I to do with myself, when I can't stop loving a girl like you?*"You have something there," he said, pointing to your mouth. You reached up to wipe off the cream, but he stopped you and leaned in.His lips gently touched yours. You slowly kissed him back. It felt amazing to kiss Kevin. You felt as if you were now complete with him. He was susprisingly soft, as if he was worried you might break if he was too forceful. After several minutes, the two of you pulled away, slightly breathless. He brushed his hand against your cheek. "Can you just sleep next to me tonight? I promise I won't do anything, I just want you with me."You looked at him. For the first time, you saw the real Kevin. Not the stubborn, confident person you had seen before, but the kind looking, sensitive boy before you."Okay," you said, hugging him. To your surprise, he hugged you back eagerly.*Please don't love Kiseop. Please love me instead,* he wished. He knew that wishes he made could not change the matters of the heart, nor did he want to force you into choosing him.The two of you lay there on his bed, hugging each other until you fell asleep. *Before, I never imagined that you might like me back. But now, I cannot help but hope,* you thought peacefully.*Thank you, ____. Being able to hold you in my arms right now, is the best birthday present I could ever wish for.*
