09:41

hey i was kidding

babe?

please reply i’m sorry

Well, maybe it’s too late for you to apologize.

It’s been minutes and she’s not responding and you’re now grasping the weight of the situation. It may sound childish even, teasing how sensitive she gets but with what you’ve done, maybe the emotion she portrayed is reasonable.

For all of the reasons you would’ve said to her to surprise her, you chose to become oblivious and that’s pretty stupid of you, considering how Stella waited this time to hear you greet her even just through the screen, knowing you wouldn’t come because of your aforementioned endeavors yesterday.

You just hope she doesn’t sulk as bad as you thought she’ll be, so with that guilt seeping in within you, you chat with someone as a last resort.

i know

but you know i just wanna tease her a little

i’m gonna go there anyways to surprise her

you better do

so update: shes very sulky rn

but its not that bad

she mentioned you and you forgetting her birthday or something

oh my…

ok is my job done here

pretty much tho

thanks tho

you know i’ll come over rn

i’m just gonna prepare

just don’t tell her okay?

yes we wont

the original plan is there

i’ll just message you or the others when i’m near

see ya later

see you! ❤️

So, the guilt is breaking you in half but you won’t let it.

But seriously, now with clearer mind, you reminisce and regret what you’ve done—it’s pretty reasonable how her sudden shift of mood dictates the pace of her birthday. Even with the rest of her friends there to bond with her and reassure her with your silly teases, there’s still some doubt with her internally knowing if you really mean that you’ve genuinely forgot what day today is.

Stella knows you didn’t, and it’s bullshit to say so, but Yuha is right: you words means a lot to a girl you love, and that’s Stella.

You pretty much rush yourself with the necessities in preparation, wanting to see them (especially the birthday girl and the love of your life) as soon as possibly since you messed up the tempo of surprise.

Also, the girls know how to modify their pace in accordance with yours, and you’re swiftly doing everything to go there as soon as humanly possible.

yu haram 🐰

10:33

just hope you dont get mistaken as the delivery guy that will deliver our cake for stella

also how am i that

LOL

whatever

thanks again

i’ll see all of you there

see you! ❤️

You really just hope everything goes as expect them to be, and you’re in high hopes knowing Stella changes her mood whenever she sees you.

You’re not being prideful and getting ahead of yourself, you’re just being optimistic and you will need it.

While on your way, just two blocks away from their dorm, you stumbled upon something that piques your interest and will possibly make Stella’s day even better.

And you just hope it does…

but see you there!

see you!

Long gone are the messages.

Long gone are the chats.

Right now, you wouldn’t need that, not when Carmen peeking out of the window waiting for you sees you, and when she does, that jovial atmosphere uplifts you. She opens the door slightly, not enough to cause commotion or to raise suspicion as she whispers you to go to the pantry, gesturing you to be quiet.

“Okay, so that’s what you’re going to give her, huh?” Carmen whispers, admiring how beautiful the roses and the carnations are which is simple tucked and decorated, but enough for a girl like Stella to be flustered.

“Okay, so where do I appear? Like behind her and the girls starts singing happy birthday?”

“Uhm, maybe?” Carmen is a little hesitant, the both of you keeping your tone down just for the two of you to hear. “It’s up for you surprise, and all I know is that she’s lasered focused on the movie.”

You smirk and let out a deep sigh, as Carmen’s reassuring tone cheers you up, knowing she believes in your charm. “You look good today, you’ll get her going after this—I know deep down she’s waiting for you to magically appear and spend her birthday with.”

Her words of affection makes you smile, thanking her for such positivity. “Thanks, Carmen—and all of you for the support. Guess you gotta go and I’ll do my thing.”

“Yeah. you should…”

After then, Carmen promptly walks out of the cramped space, as you internalize and let you do your own thing.

Do the right thing.

The girls are pretty much all ebullient, reacting with such emotions unparalleled, and sometimes poignant with the chemistry of the two leads.

And you’re there on the distance, spotting the familiar blonde on the center of the sofa, tilting her head to talk with the others.

Focused on the two characters on the screen saying such a romantic voice line.

“How could I forget? You’re the most beautiful woman on the planet?”

They all swoon and you can sense Stella’s in that same headspace.

Eyes locked. Lips mouthing those words. Possibly thinking of you.

The other girls have their pillows on their laps, hands on their faces as the tension sets an all-time high.

And as the camera pans over the horizon of a familiar, tranquil scenery, a familiar voice brushes Stella’s ears onto a tingle, such familiarity she can’t help but let herself feel such sensation.

“I do agree with him. You’re the most beautiful girl in this planet.” Your voice makes Stella gasp, looking at her shoulder as she sees your face, all smiling as her friends tease the both of you, especially the birthday girl herself.

“Stella, you’re gonna cry aren’t you—oh my god!” Carmen screams, feeling flustered from the both of you as you reach and give the stupendous bouquet to Stella, making her paint that familiar face when she’s about to shed a tear, emotionally overwhelmed.

Jiwoo then pauses the movie, and initiated the singing, such beautiful voices singing their dear Stella a melodical “happy birthday”.

“Happy birthday Stella! Happy birthday Stella! Happy birthday, happy birthday… Happy birthday Stella!”

The girls continues to cheer and as you inch closer towards the puzzled Stella, she voices out the words that only you can hear. “Don’t ever do that stupid thing again.”

And there she goes, and the rest of the girls are shocked.

She pulls you by the fabric of your long sleeves, initiating a loving kiss on the lips which you immediately reciprocated, both eyes closed. maximizing the feeling of each other’s comfort.

Oh my god.

The kiss lasted for mere six seconds before you full out slowly, faintly opening your eyes as you keep Stella’s small frame on your arms.

“Well, I guess we should celebrate, no?” Yuha asks, completely happy that the both of you are seemingly on good terms in an immediate fashion, and Stella interrupts.

“We should finish this movie first before the other food comes, right, babe?”

“I do agree.” You maintain that loving eye contact towards Stella, nodding on her proposition as you sit down and so did she, still handling the lovely bouquet you bought just for her. “After all, I’m sorry about earli—”

“Shush.” Stella shuts you up with her fingers on your lips, smiling delightfully as she forgives you truthfully. “It’s just pretty childish of me, though, so sorry too. After all, you’re now here and there’s nothing I can ask for.”

“Yah, lovebirds.” Jiwoo interrupts playfully, the other girls laughing as you seem a little ashamed. “Are we gonna watch the movie or watch the both of you do the scenes itself?”

“Okay, let’s just watch it.”

It resumes, and now, her fantasies are over, now that she’s resting her head onto your arms, possibly never letting go.

You’ll never forget such a treasure day with Stella, and that’s etched in the history books until the end of time.
