It was the holidays and Chani, as well as the others, were really bored because there was nothing to do. Youngbin, Inseong and Dawon had a day off from the office so they were currently resting on the sofas in the mansion.

"Hyung, there's nothing to do!." Chani whined.

"You think I haven't already thought that!" Youngbin laughed back at him.

There was a moment of silence before Inseong passed, cup of coffee in his hand.

"Hey Chani, isn't it your birthday today?" Asked Inseong.

Chani looked up to the ceiling and back down, only to realise Inseong was right. How did he forget his own birthday. He started jumping and looked at Youngbin.

"Hyung! Hyung! Can we do something fun for my birthday! Please? PLEASE?."

"Uhh... I guess so."

"Yes!" He fist pumped.

"We can have a cake and you can invite your friends over."

"Okay I'll do that now!"

"Wait. Have them over at like 3 O'clock because we need time to get cake and food, yeah?"

"Got it."

And with that, Chani ran upstairs. He called Hwiyoung and Taeyang over. Luckily, they were both free in the afternoon.

Chani was thrilled for this party that he always wished to have. In London, he would see people with all their friends through restaurant windows, dressed up nicely with a big cake in front of the birthday boy or girl. The cake had these mesmerising sparklers and candles which lit up the darkness and it would have to be blown out before wax dropped onto the cake, making it inedible.

After a couple of really long hours, the bell of the mansion rang and before Rowoon could walk to the door, Chani was already running down the stair case a few steps at a time.

"Chani! Slow down and be careful!" Youngbin shouted from the living room.

"I'm fine!" He swung open the door which revealed his two best friends.

"Happy birthday Chani!" They shouted and hugged the boy.

Rowoon stood behind them and welcomed them in once they released the hug.

"Hello Mr. Yoo and Mr. Kim. Come inside."

"Chani. Your house is massive." Hwiyoung whispered to him.

"Heh, it is isn't it?" Chani scratched the back of his head in awkwardness.

Whilst the boys were playing upstairs in Chani's room, Jaeyoon was working hard in the kitchen. Inseong, Youngbin and Dawon sneaked into the kitchen, which surprised Jaeyoon a bit.

"Hey Jaeyoon, can we help make the cake?" Youngbin asked.

"Yeah. Feel free to read my book for help. I have to finish loads of other dishes anyway."

The three proceeded to bake the cake and such, almost destroying the kitchen. Luckily, Jaeyoon was practically a superhuman chef and saved their stupid asses.

In the evening, everyone, including Rowoon and Jaeyoon sat at the table and feasted with glee. Hwiyoung and Taeyang were amazed by everything.

When they took the lit cake out, Chani almost bursted into tears at how beautiful everything was but he didn't because he was a 'man'. He thought about how a miracle must have happened to him and he definitely did not take any of this for granted. They loudly sang happy birthday to him.

"Make a wish Chan!." Dawon said. Once he did, Dawon swiped some of the fresh cream off the cake and put it on Chani's nose. "Yay!"

The cake was delicious and the house was in bright spirits that night. They celebrated Chani's first birthday party well, and he loved it.
