Hyejin woke up to the sound of her alarm at 5:45 am (let's pretend that this is the exact time that Jeno was born). She picked up the gift that was neatly wrapped on the ground and ran to the fridge to grab the cupcake. She slowly walked to Jeno's room and knocked on the door. She heard footsteps shuffle towards the door. A sleepy, shirtless Jeno swung open the door.

"Happy Birthday!" She sand, with a big smile on her face. He smiled, wiping his face.

"Another year of you waking me up first, huh?" He mumbled. She smiled.

"We've been doing this for three years now! I couldn't forget." She said. He pulled her into a hug. She chuckled.

"Your really warm" She mumbled. He yawned.

"Yeah well, I have a lot of covers," He grabbed the gift and the cupcake.

"Ok, I'll see you in the morning." He said, nibbling the sprinkles. She waved before walking back into her room.

~~~

Hyejin was woken up by a loud scream. She giggled. She grabbed her phone and her slippers and walked to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and washed her face before walking into the living room.

"Hey guys." She muttered. No one replied. They were all playing their video games.

"Chenle woke me up with his scream." She muttered. He looked up.

"Sorry." He said. He focused back on the game. She pouted. She walked over to Jaemin and stood in front of him. He clicked his tongue.

"Babe can you move? Your blocking the screen." He muttered. She opened her mouth.

"A 'good morning babe. How was your night?' wouldn't hurt." She scolded. He looked up and bit his lip.

"Hello babe, how was your day?" He asked. She sat down next to him and kissed his cheek.

"It was good. I woke up at Five am, you know obviously, and then I went back to bed." She mumbled.

"Why'd you wake up at 5?" He asked, aggressively pressing the buttons on the controller. She furrowed her eyebrows.

"Oh, I see what your doing." She smiled, scrolling through her phone.

"What am I doing?" He asked. She looked over at Jeno.

"Oh yeah. There doing that. They've been doing it every time I ask something." He said. She giggled.

"Ohh ok. Don't worry, I'm gonna work on my surprised face." She said. Jaemin rolled his eyes.

"I don't know what you guys are talking about. Also, why are you wearing shorts? It was freezing last night." He said. She shook her head.

"What do you mean? I was sweating. I slept in just my shorts last night." Jeno said. Jaemin looked up.

"She saw you shirtless?" He whispered, so that Jia couldn't hear her. Jeno scoffed.

"No I was sweating too. I wa-"

"Hold on babe, I need to focus." He said, looking back at his game. She rolled her eyes.

"I'm gonna go get ready for practice." She muttered. Jeno sighed.

"You guys suck at acting." He said. Hyejin slammed her door closed.

~~~

Even though they had practice all day, it still didn't hurt to look good on her birthday. She put on her favorite training shoes, black leggings with a see through pattern and a tank top. She put on the slightest bit of makeup. She stepped out of her room.

"Ok Hyej- woah you pulled out your sexy gym outfit. Whats the occasion?" He asked. She scoffed.

"Jaemin you can stop acting like you don't know what day it is today." She said. He rolled his eyes.

"But that's the thing. I don't know. So can you please just tell me?" he begged. She sighed.

"Forget it. Anyway, whats the plan for today?" she asked. Jaemin walked up to her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Practice, practice and more practice." He said. She pouted.

"No... I feel like going out today." She said. He chuckled.

"Well if we finish practice early today, we can go out and have dinner, just the two of us." He said, bending down to kiss her lips. As he was about to kiss her she moved away.

"What about Jeno?" She asked, giggling at his reaction. He sighed, resting his forehead on her shoulder.

"What about him?" He asked, moping. She brought his head up.

"Babe. Seriously? It's April 23!" She said.

"Yeah, and tomorrow its the 24th and yesterday was the 22nd." He said. She rolled her eyes pushing away from him. He grabbed her arm.

"Wait Hyejin." He said. She turned around.

"You think I would forget your birthday?" He said. She sighed in relief.

"Oh my Jesus! I thought that m-maybe you did forget." She said. As soon as she was relaxed, she slapped his shoulder.

"OW! What was that for?" He asked. She pouted.

"For making me mad." She said. He winced. She then smiled and connected his lips with hers. She lingered for a while, drawing him closer. She pulled away softly.

"What was that for?" He sighed. She giggled.

"For remembering my birthday." She said. He smiled.

~~~

"Hyejin, why do you keep messing up! These steps are so easy!" Chenle asked, agitated. She puffed, causing her bangs to scatter across her forehead.

"I- I don't know what I'm messing up though!" She said. He sighed, going over the dance again.

"Jeno, show her the dance." The choreographer said. Jeno did it but was stopped halfway.

"You two keep messing up. You need to go over it one more time. Everyone else take a break." Chenle and Jaemin walked out the room while the others stayed inside.

"Ok so, can you at least show us what where doing wrong?" Jeno asked, turning to Jisung. Jisung sighed standing up.

"Ok well, you both did it right but you guys look kind of awkward." He said, walking away.

"Pfft awkward? I'm the main fucking dancer! How am I dancing awkward?" She questioned, raising her voice. Jeno patted her back.

"Just four more hours, and then we can go home." He said. She shook her head.

"No I have to practice. I'll be here till like 3 am," She mumbled. Jeno shook his head.

"But jinnie, eleven pm! You know it's my turn at eleven pm." He mumbled. She smiled.

"I know, b-but I need to practice. Were getting scolded because we are messing up but we don't even know what were screwing up!" She argued. He sighed.

"So again from the top?" He asked. She smiled and nodded.

~~~

"Guys were going home" Jaemin said. Jeno had given up and started walking towards the door while Hyejin had her headphones plugged into the song that they were practicing.

"Hyejin!" He yelled. She looked over.

"What?" She said. He walked over to her.

"Come on we're going home" She shook her head.

"I still need to practice. I have to get this right." She mumbled. Jeno stood in front of her.

"i'm not getting anything right. I need to fix the da-"

"You can come here tomorrow and continue. but it's your birthday. You deserve some time off. Well, we need a break." He said. She sighed.

"Fine. you better get your ass out of bed tomorrow because we are coming back here bright and early." She said, grabbing her stuff. They turned to the door to see Jaemin gone.

"Well, I guess there was no surprise party." She pouted. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"why don't we just go watch movies in your room until we fall asleep?" He said. She smiled.

"Best birthday ever." She said. They saw Jaemin's bag on the ground.

"did he leave it here?" He said. She shrugged. They saw a note on the bag. She picked it up.

I left my air pods in practice room 6. Can you bring me my bag? Thanks.

They sighed.

"He's always loosing his air pods." He said. She nodded her head. They walked to the dark training room.

"Hey jaem-

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENO AND HYEJIN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU~" They all sang in different languages. Taeyong and Mark Jeno and Areum looked at each other smiling.

"Blow out the candles." Mark said. They both blowed out the candles and they all clapped.

"When did... who planned this?" Hyejin asked. Jaemin raised his hand.

"Guilty" He muttered. She sighed pulling him into a hug.

"How did I get so lucky?" She asked, connecting her lips with his. Some people clapped while others whistled, while Renjun and Jisung fake gagged.

"Ok if you two love birds are done eating each other's faces, can we cut the cake?" Jeno asked. Hyejin nodded.

"ok everyone... let's party!" Johnny yelled. Everyone screamed in excitement.

~~~

"Hyejin had changed into her pajamas and lay down with Jaemin.

"So the whole day at practice, my dancing wasn't... awkward?" She asked. Jaemin scoffed, wrapping his arm around her.

"Pfft awkward? Your'e the main fucking dancer! You can't dance awkward." He said. She smiled.

"That's what I said, she mumbled, gently closing her eyes.

"Hey it's 10:59" he said. She nodded. She was going to drift off when she heard a knock on her door. She sighed, standing up.

"Chenle I'm not giving you more candy-" She stopped when she saw Jeno smiling.

"oh. It's eleven." She said. He handed her a cupcake and a wrapped gift.

"It's eleven. Happy birthday, Hyejin" He said. She smiled.

"You remembered," She said, wrapping her arms around him.

"We've been doing this for three years, I could never forget." He said. She giggled, looking up at him.

"I love you, Hyung." She said.

"Happy Birthday, Hyejin" He said, pecking the top of her head.
