A few months had passed since Eliza and Felix found each other and it was currently January of 2025 . Eliza, Yuri and Min Ji were at the Straykids practice room watching the members practice , until Minho called break and soon Felix , Hyunjin and Jeongin were at their soulmates' sides. While few others went on their phones.

Lk: wait is it someone's b'day today ?

Eliza had gone completely silent while other looked at each other confused since none of their birthday was in January.

Hj: none of our birthday is in January hyung.

Lk: then why is there so many comments of happy b'day under a couple of our reels in Instagram.

Chn: that's strange

Lk: wait. Eliza ? It's your birthday?

Fel: what your birthday is today ?

Eli: um ya it's kind of my birthday.

Everyone quickly wished her happy birthday and gave her hugs but Felix had a huge betrayed look on his face and so did Yuri who was the closest with Eliza among the girls.

Yu: why didn't you tell us ?

Eli: it's not a big deal so I just didn't mention it.

Fel: but... But it's your birthday how can it be not a big deal.

Eli: it's fine guys . I don't really mind it. my family doesn't really celebrate birthdays. So usually it's just getting some wishes on YouTube from viewers and my team mates.

Hj: how can you say it's not a big deal when you always do something special for each of our birthday that has passed.

IN: and you are always telling us how birthday are a person's special day to be celebrated.

Chn: now we can't throw you a surprise party but we sure are going to throw you a party.

Fel: exactly. So girl's you guys are to keep Izzy busy till the rest of the day. Take her shopping. I want to do it but I don't think I'll get the rest of the day off today if I ask so suddenly.

MJ: don't worry us girl's are going to have a half day out.

Eli: guys there is no need of all that

Mj: nope. You listen to us . Get sweet behind up and come with us.

Eliza had no option but to follow them. So they all quickly went to the JYP parking area and got into Min Ji's car before leaving for their first destination which was the mall.

On the way Yuri had connected her phone to the car's Bluetooth and started playing songs. Almost all of which were from Eliza's artists of interest.

Eli: oh my god you did not just play youtiful . Please change it. I love that so much but I don't wanna cry right now. And believe me I will be crying by the time this song ends .

Yu: whoops we don't have time for tears.

with that Yuri tapped the icon to skip to next song which was Sweet Venom (English version). And the next thing you know Eliza was singing along and fangirling. This went on till they pulled up at the mall parking area .
