"Saengil chukahae's... (Happy birthday)"

~Rainy Heart~

~ 3 Months later ~

Everything went well as usual. Juhyun is going to school in the morning to teach, Kyujong is getting busy with his latest drama, Kyuhyun is also busy at the orphanage. He spent more and more time volunteering at the orphanage.

However, Kyuhyun and Juhyun are no longer related. Despite his longing, Juhyun could do nothing. The conversation on the phone the other day became his last conversation with Kyuhyun. In this case, Juhyun chose to blame himself, not Kyuhyun. He should have been more patient, maybe Kyuhyun felt uncomfortable with him, because he was too forthright. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to fight for his love again.

He wants the love that is expected, though it may be hard. Until now he could not guess, whether Kyuhyun liked it too or not?

Today, Jeungdo in the rain, Juhyun seemed busy packing his clothes

'tok tok'

Juhyun turned towards the door of his room hearing that voice. Then smile

"Need help?" Kyujong approached and sat down beside him

"No need... I can do it myself..." Kyujong nodded

"Then I accompany" Juhyun turned his head and only smiled knotfully

"Eomma is not at home, but he has prepared lunch for us." Juhyun said, back busy packing, Kyujong nodded and muttered

"I'll wait for you to finish packing..." Juhyun stopped his activities and looked at Kyujong again, but he said nothing. They still held on not to talk as long as Juhyun was busy packing his clothes.

Kyujong, just looked at the woman he loved with my two eyes. Currently, he felt that he had lost to the Juhyun he had met a few months ago. Whether since when, Juhyun became this silent, he also looked uninspired. Though Kyujong knew, Juhyun spoke so much.

.

.

They had finished doing lunch, the rain outside had also subsided. When they were cleaning up in the kitchen Hyukjae entered while carrying a backpack, he also looked neat

"Eoh... Are you ready?" Yuhai asked from the kitchen

"Yes... I think you guys are ready too!"

"We'll be ready now!" Typal Kyujong then moved on

"Eoh... Juhyun.. Are you sure you're coming?" Juhyun stopped doing the dishes and looked at Hyukjae confidently

"You've been asking it many times since yesterday!"

"I'm just convincing..." Hyukjae sat on the sofa, pulled out his phone and waited, Juhyun shook his head and moved

"Eoh? Fourteen is releasing a new book..." Hyukjae's words stopped Juhyun's steps. He turned around, closed the room and approached Juhyun

"really?" Hyukjae nodded then showed his phone, Juhyun smiled, at least someone will comfort him at the moment.

Today they are going to Seoul, Hyukjae decides to volunteer at Kyuhyun's recommended orphanage every weekend. And of course Juhyun will come, he will also volunteer there on weekends. In addition, Juhyun will make this his chance to meet Kyuhyun and determine his love destiny. Can't just be quiet and resigned if he wants to fight, right?

.

.

Running around, playing ball together, Kyuhyun seemed to enjoy all that as he and the children played in the orphanage yard. He seemed to enjoy it without burden, laughing freely with those who were always happy even though maybe deep down, they were in pain. Kyuhyun will learn from them. Maybe his heart wound has healed, but... He would do this to forget his physical wounds.

Not far from them, Shin's mother noticed that with a wide smile. Seeing Kyuhyun like that he felt happy and relieved. And one more thing that makes him feel happy is the improvement of Kyuhyun and Kyujong's relationship. It felt like a gift. Ahra came and stood beside him

"He's like a kid, isn't he?" Shin's mother looked over

"Hm.... Worse than a kid! He's not a submissive kid at all...." Ahra laughed

"Please keep him!" Now Ahra changed her laughter with a smile, then nodded at Shin's mother

"Ah... I'll prepare it first!"

"Good ma'am..." Ahra nodded steadily, while Shin's mother moved.

.

I don't know how long Shin's mother has been busy in the kitchen. He's making a lot of food right now. Everything was done in his cooking, there was only one food he was cooking. While Ahra was busy lifting the food into Shin's mother's room.

"Mothers... As soon as the seaweed soup is done I'll call Kyuhyun.."

"Well ask where Kyujong is? We can't start without him...! Just let Kyuhyun play with the kids..."

"Good.." Ahra nodded then came out.

Today is a special day for Kyuhyun, not only for Kyuhyun, but for all of them. Shin's mother was so grateful, Kyuhyun could still celebrate his birthday again. He was very happy because God still gave him the opportunity to be with Kyuhyun.

Not a festive celebration, Kyuhyun asked him to prepare a simple celebration for his birthday. He also refused to be served a birthday cake, compared to the cake he asked not to forget the seaweed soup. Shin's mother finished cooking her seaweed and went to bring it to her room.

As soon as she finished putting all the food on the table, Shin's mother walked out of her room. Along with that Kyuhyun came

"Mom looking for me?" Mother Shin nodded and smiled

"I have everything ready! Let's wait for Kyujong first..." Kyuhyun frowned not understanding

"What's going on?" Shin's mother's smile faded, why did Kyuhyun ask instead? Wasn't he the one who planned this simple birthday celebration?

"Kyuhyun... You don't know what will happen today?" Ask Shin's mother carefully

"What's wrong?" Kyuhyun asked back, along with that Ahra came

"A...?" Mother Shin looked at Ahra worriedly. Ahra smiled and held onto Shin's mother's arm for her to handle, she nodded faintly giving the code not to further ask

"We're making a surprise for you!" Ahra said casually

"Surprised? Ah... It's my birthday!" Ahra smiled

As the clattering sounds approached, Kyuhyun, Ahra and Shin's mother turned to the origin of the voice. Kyujong came with Hyukjae

"Eoh... Hyukjae...." Kyuhyun looked pleased

"Sorry to keep you waiting." said Kyujong, smiling at Kyuhyun

"How did you come together?"

"Kyujong came to Jeungdo more often after the announcement ..." Hyukjae replied with a small laugh, Kyuhyun just smiled knotfully. He knows what announcement is meant.

"You who?" Ask Shin's mother to Hyukjae

"Eoh... Annyeong... Lee Hyukjae..." Hyukjae bowed introducing herself

"He's from Jeungdo, he's going to volunteer here every weekend" added Kyujong, Shin's mother smiling kindly as well as Ahra and Kyuhyun

"Waaah... It's a surprise, you didn't even call me first..."

"It's a surprise for you, Juhyun...." Hyukjae's words stopped when he did not see Juhyun there, Kyujong also realized that Juhyun did not come in

'Juhyun? He here?' Kyuhyun simply moved his eyes to look for Juhyun

"He should have come in..." Hyukjae

"Maybe he's looking around..." Kyujong

"Well, thank you for the time and energy.... Then we're going in now!" Shin's mother led her into her room followed by the others. But Ahra still held Kyujong outside

"Why?"

"Kyuhyun doesn't remember what he said last night" Ahra whispered, Kyujong's eyes widened to hear that.

"Again?" Kyujong sighed as Ahra nodded in agreement

"He forgot this simple party plan, I'll tell his real mother..." Kyujong sighed and lowered his head for a moment. Seemed surprised and also hit

"Come...!" Excited as he stepped in

.

"Whooaahs... Looks like there's an event..." Hyukjae

"Hm... My birthday!" Kyuhyun quietly

"Ney? Aishis... I don't know, I didn't prepare a gift .." Hyukjae muttered, Shin's mother just smiled happily, Kyuhyun knows good people like Hyukjae

"It's okay... I assume your arrival is a gift" Kyuhyun smiled "no birthday cake?" Ask Shin's mother

"Eoh...." Shin's mother was confused as to what, no tagun birthday cake was Kyuhyun's request last night

"It's okay, it's enough! Thanks for the surprise, nuna..." Ahra smiled and nodded

"Then we eat now!" Excited Shin's mother with joy

"I'll eat her seaweed soup after that will go away..." Sela Kyuhyun when everyone came close to the food, but now they looked at her in surprise

"No... That's not what I mean, there's something I haven't finished with Boram..." Quickly add it and then smile.

.

.

Despite his longing, in fact Juhyun felt his courage disappear to meet Kyuhyun. Either because of shame or shame. Upon hearing Kyuhyun's voice earlier, Juhyun chose to stop stepping and hide. His heart was not ready to meet.

He decided to take a walk and look around the orphanage. He will introduce himself, when Kyuhyun has come home later. His steps stopped in a park. Juhyun sat down on the chair and looked at the children who seemed to be busy with his toys.

Seeing children always uplifting, he loved children very much. Because with them, seeing them he felt the whole burden in him lifted. They look holy without blemish, their views are sincere, their words are always honest.  For Juhyun, children are the best role models, when adults are able to lie easily, children will tell the truth without a lie. When adults only pretend to be sincere, children will show their sincerity even though there is a threat before them. Juhyun sighed and tightened his jacket. Along with that someone thrusting a cup of coffee at him, Juhyun turned his head slowly and looked up

"Omm!!!" Surprised as he moved backwards

"Do I look like a ghost now?" Kyuhyun protested while sitting beside him, Juhyun lowered his head and sighed a few times to neutralize his shock. Kyuhyun thrust his coffee back, and inevitably Juhyun had to accept it

"Thank you..."

"You came to volunteer, right?"

"Right" Kyuhyun looked at him in surprise, this was not Juhyun's answer. Why so short?

"You came because you missed me, right?"

"What's? Ah. not at all..." Juhyun nodded quickly

"You're even so serious and constantly contacting me" Juhyun looked at him, and cursed inwardly, as he became nervous like this. Kyuhyun smiled knot

"Today's my birthday" Kyuhyun still tried to lure Juhyun away from this boring chatter

"Saengil chukahae..." Again, Yuhyun answered quickly

"What's? That only?" Kyuhyun protested, Juhyun's reaction was too flat. Is he angry with her

"Yes" replied Juhyun steadily then sipped his coffee

"Hot watch!" Late, the hot coffee had touched Juhyun's tongue.

Juhyun swallowed it forcefully and opened his mouth involuntarily. Then fan it by hand. Kyuhyun sighed hard enough to stop Juhyun's hand movements

"Can't you tell the difference between hot coffee and not? So sloppy..." Kyuhyun grumbled and shook his head. Juhyun looked down embarrassed, he was indeed very careless

'Why did I become like this?'

A second later came the sound of Kyuhyun laughing. The man was laughing at him, Juhyun raised his head and turned his head

"Ajumma..." Unknowingly Juhyun smiled at the call

"We didn't meet for just three months, why are you this cute?"

"Stop that..." Juhyun muttered honestly while scratching his non-itchy head

"You don't ask me why I didn't call you or answer your call?" Kyuhyun asked seriously this time, Juhyun was stunned, this question was too serious for Kyuhyun. Will he discuss the events three months ago?

"Why?" Juhyun asked seriously anyway, they still looked at each other

"Ajumma... L'm.... Did you tell you that time?"

"What?"

"I'm very busy...." That serious face turned annoying in Juhyun's eyes. Especially now Kyuhyun laughed because he managed to deceive her

"Yes!!!!!" Juhyun shouted in annoyance, but Kyuhyun's laughter further irritated him

"This is what ajumma looks like!"

"Based on the bad guy!!! You love to fool me!!!" Upset Juhyun while beating Kyuhyun, Kyuhyun had to try to avoid the punch while continuing to laugh, inevitably Juhyun also laughed, but his hands were still aggressive to hit him

"Don't hit me in the head!!" Kyuhyun shouted even though Juhyun did not do that

"Ok good! Alright... I'm sorry, huh?? I surrender!" Juhyun stopped his attack, looked at Kyuhyun for a moment then continued by tickling Kyuhyun, until the man shouted for mercy.

Kyujong turned around with a slightly turbid face looking at the scene. His head bowed, he felt that something was disturbing his feelings as soon as he saw all that. Juhyun was never this happy when he was with her. He rarely even saw his laughter. Does he realize he has imposed the will? If remembered, he did decide everything himself, he never asked Juhyun's feelings. Even he delayed Juhyun who wanted to express his feelings to him.

His feet kept stepping out of the orphanage. I don't know where he's going. For sure he needs to be alone and think about this more deeply.

.

.

And finally, the car he was driving stopped in front of a cafe. Actually, he did not want to go to the cafe. I don't know why he stopped his car there. Kyujong sighed then put on his hat and sunglasses. Then get down the car and enter the cafe.

Maybe by memesn something sweet mood can be better. Kyujong is grateful that the atmosphere at the cafe is not so crowded, so no one will recognize him. He tried to hide his face

"Kyujong.shi?" Kyujong's reflex raised his head

A woman smiled at him. Kyujong also smiled looking at the woman. Among all the servants on duty only he recognized her

"You work here Marin.sshi?"

"Yes..." Marin replied with a smile "I will prepare! Waita minute.." Kyujong nodded and went to look for a seat.

A table by the glass window was Kyujong's choice to sit down. He chose to drink coffee and eat the cake he ordered there. He took off his sunglasses and looked out the window. The atmosphere outside seemed busy, the people in this city could never stay still, they were always busy with their affairs. It is very different from life in Jeungdo.

Kyujong's lips smiled as he watched the snow drift from within. It was the first snow to fall this year. People say when expressing desire when the first snow falls, his desire will be granted. Kyujong is not a believer in it, but he keeps his eyes closed. Praying the best prayer in the chest. He only wishes the best for everyone.

His smile disappeared, when he remembered what he had seen earlier. His feelings are mixed, all this time he does know what happened between him, Kyuhyun and also Juhyun. Just that he ignored it, he tried to ignore what he saw, but this time? Everything felt real, that Juhyun felt even further away....

'tok..'

Kyujong opened his eyes and turned his head when he heard the sound of the knocking of the table. Marin smiled once more then sat down on the chair that was in front of Kyujong

"You seem like a lot of thought..?"

"No... I'm fine..." Kyujong smiled, Marin took a breath and smiled knots back

"alright... Drinking and eating sweet will improve your mood, please!!" Marin pushed Kyujong's order closer to his front

"Thank you...!"

Marin sat quietly looking at Kyujong who was beginning to enjoy his order. Kyujong has always been like this, he has always been kind to everyone. Even to him

"Want me to order it?" Ask Kyujong suddenly

"No.. no! I work here..." Marin shook his hand

"All right..." Marin could not shake her smile as she continued to stare at Kyujong

'Too bad if I want to ruin your life.... You've never been guilty of Kyujong, you're a victim. Same as me....'

"I know it will be very difficult to get your heart! You must love that woman very much. But I will stop at nothing to fight for your heart..." Kyujong looked at Marin and stared at her intensely

"Kyujong.sshi... While I struggle, will you be my friend??"

Until tonight, the snow is still falling with moderate intensity. It makes the weather feel cooler. After dinner, Juhyun went straight to the room, he will stay at the hotel today, because he will start work tomorrow. Tonight he's rooming with Ahra. Juhyun took out the book he had bought earlier with Ahra. The latest book from his favorite author, who else if not Fourteen?

'Jeungdo's Gem'

Juhyun smiled reading the title of the book. Why Jeungdo? And he mentioned jewels. But this strange title he thinks makes him quite curious. Then he put the book back in his bag. Alternately, he now issued some origami paper which he also bought earlier.

Kyuhyun's birthday is today, but he hasn't prepared a gift for her at all. And this time he decided to make a stork for her. Because Juhyun saw Kyuhyun liked that thing so much. He will make a lot of storks tonight, and will make this a gift for Kyuhyun. Juhyun stopped his activities for a moment as the door opened. Ahra walked in and smiled at him, Juhyun returned the smile kindly

"Eoh... You guys are really the same..." Ahra said, Juhyun looked at him in surprise

"This stork from origami, means a lot to Kyuhyun. Either he started it from when, but Kyuhyun would consider this heron to be something special. He said his spirit would grow as soon as he saw the birds"

"really?" Ahra nodded

"She will definitely smile with joy when you give this as a gift..." Juhyun looked down and smiled shyly

"More than you gave it... He will stop at nothing to smile"

"You're overreacting..."

"No... She likes you...!" Juhyun raised his head and looked at Ahra, he was stunned to hear that remark

'Kyuhyun likes me?'
