Lennox woke up to two message notifications.

"Happy Birthday, Lennox! I wish that you'll be able to talk to Jaehyun hopefully within this year. I  love you to the moon and back." — Kate

"Happiest Birthday, dearest Lennox Jung — oops, I mean Lennox Choi. Love you soul sister." — Trixie

—

She still smiled and shook her head at her friends' silly messages.

She opened their group chat so she can thank them both once.

—
Lennox: Thank you guys. I appreciate your bday greetings. I love you both!

Trixie: No prob Lenny!!

Kate: Any plans on your bday?

Lennox: Yah, lay in bed all day and finish the book I've been reading.

Trixie: Ugh, boring. Can't we do something fun for your bday?

Lennox: This is fun!

Kate: No, its not. How 'bout we go out and have milkshakes?

Trixie: Oh my gosh, let's go!

Lennox: I don't think I can come.

Kate: C'mon Lenox! It's your bday anyway. Don't you wanna celebrate.

Trixie: Lennox, if you won't hang out with us. We're going to message Jaehyun!

Lenoxx: Hey! Don't.

Kate: Then come with us.

Lenoxx: ...

Trixie: It's so easy to type "Hey Jung Jaehyun, my friend Lennox Choi has a crush on you.".

Lenox: Fine, I'm joining you. Just please...

Kate: Yey! See you Lennox.

———

She got all dressed up because her friends told her to do so even though they were just going to a milkshake bar.

She stood in-front of the mirror and looked blankly at herself.

"For how long, Lennox?" she asked herself.

Birthdays become sadder and sadder for Lennox each year, that's why she wasn't interested in celebrating or anything.

She finally went to the milkshake bar and met Trixie and Kate there.

"Hey there, birthday girl. You look fabulous!" Kate greeted.

"Thanks." she smiled.

"Can we get inside now?" she asked.

"Oh wait, wear this blindfold first." Trixie said and took out a handkerchief.

"Blindfold?" she asked.
