Birthday Surprise (Scenario Number Seven)

Phew, I almost forgot, well, I did, and I just came back to edit, hehe, this one is for Athena because she asked me for a happy one. I hope it suit your taste :)

Another scenario, this could be the last, hope you enjoy the birthday scenario series. See you on her next birthday, hahaha.


"Cut! That's perfect," bellows the director.

Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min gets away from each other like the strangers that they still are.

"Good work everyone!" the director complements the entire casts and crew of Mischievous Kiss through the help of his megaphone. He walks past the others and head straight to the two leads of his new drama, "Hyun Joong, So Min, you guys work really hard today, go home and rest well, I'll see you tomorrow morning."

Hyun Joong smiles and bows down in acknowledgment, he choose not to talk so as not to encourage any conversation with the director or with any of his co-workers, in his hectic schedule, time is really of the essence that's why he doesn't bother with any unnecessary chitchats.

Especially tonight. The love of his life will celebrate her 30th birthday but as he cannot be with her the whole day tomorrow, he decided to do it a wee bit earlier. He is to stay with her from the eve until the morning of her special day, at least that's the plan.

But as his luck would have it, there was a major (major) delay in filming and now he is running late. He asked one of his bodyguards to take his girlfriend to the chalet that he rented outside of the city, but that was three hours ago. He should have been there ahead of her, so he could prepare their dinner but he guess that part of the plan should just be scratch out, the only thing that matters to him now is to be there asap. It is just an hour drive from his location shoot but he feels like he's running out of time, as it is, he only have three hours before her birthday.

He rushes his manager and coordinator, "Hyung, noona, I really need to go now, should I go ahead without you?" It irks him that his seemed to be flawless plan is now flawed.

The three of them arrived fifteen minutes later at the paid parking area where his two bodyguards are waiting. As his career and popularity rises, the means and ways he needs to take to keep his relationship secure and out of the public eye becomes more drastic. He leaves first, driving his newly-acquired Volvo, the media and fans haven't sniff about it yet and he prays it stays that way for a while or he'll end up buying another one; if his partners-in-crime, would follow the scheme by heart, the next one who will leave will be his bodyguards with his Porsche Cayenne and then his manager and coordinator driving the Keyeast service van. The service van will go back to his new management company's building where his manager and coordinator will take their own vehicles home while the Cayenne will go straight to his own house, yes, the one he used to share with Jaejoong, fifteen minutes later, his bodyguards are to drive his black Granger to his parents' neighborhood and come back at his house at half past one, by midnight, after that they are to drive around town using his Cayenne. They work as decoys so he can enjoy a few hours of heaven on earth.

Almost an hour later, he arrives at his destination, the place that he yearns to be, he's about to go inside with bags of groceries in both hands when his hand phone rings.

"Yoboseoyo!"

"Yoboseoyo, Hyunjoong-sshi! This is Euni noona,"

"Oh, noona, what can I do for you?"

"We are suppose to surprise Hye Jung for her birthday but she's not home at the moment, uhm, do you know where she is?"

"Ah... noona..."

"Aw, I'm sorry Hyun Joong-ah, it didn't crossed my mind that the two of you might want to spend her birthday together, and she didn't tell me anything, either. By the way, don't you have a drama to shoot?"

"I just finished filming for today and we'll resume tomorrow morning noona. I'm sorry, it's partly my fault, Hye Jung didn't know that I have something up my sleeve, I just had her picked up and brought here awhile ago."

"Ah, we won't bother you then..."

"Aniya noona, I think it's a good idea for you and the others to give her a surprise visit. She has been here alone for more than two hours now and she must be fuming mad, you're actually doing me a favor. If you come soon, you might even save us from a pre-birthday lover's spat," he jokes, but, deep inside, he really means it. "I'll text you the exact location after I hang up noona."

"Arasso, I won't give you a chance to change your mind then, text me the address asap, hahaha. We're all inside the van waiting, and Jong Sun keeps on bugging me that the cake is melting, so you better hurry, hahaha. See you later Hyun Joong-ah."

"Text me when you arrive noona, so I can open the door, okay. I'll see you in a jiffy."

He goes in, his excitement to see his beloved is somewhat shadow by a bit of nervousness, it's a misstep on his part so he has no choice but to face it head on. So, he is completely taken a back when he sees her sniffing while watching an old movie of Kang Dong Won, he decides to keep quiet and watch her at the back. He almost breaks his silence, out of curiosity, when she tinkers with her phone, shoot it at the television screen and then press her phone's keypad furiously, she smiles after a while, there was no sound of an incoming message, so he deduce that she is on twitter... again.

He decided to approach her when the film rolls in the ending credits, he needs to plunge in while the water is still calm, he sits beside her and drape a hand over her shoulders, "Mianhe, I'm late," he whispers. And God must be on his side tonight because she just look at him and smile, smiles her sweetest though her face is still streak with dry tears and her eyes are a little red. How he loves his little temptress, she exudes such exquisiteness even though she's in her childlike nightwear, even though she looks like she cried buckets, even though her hair is all over her face, she is the epitome of beauty in its simplicity. How he loves the woman, what he would give to love her forever, he sincerely believes that if ever a time comes that she forbid him to love her, it would be the beginning of his hell on earth. With that thought in mind, he swoops in and lands a feather-light kiss on her mouth, he trace the contours of her face with his lips following the trails of the tears that she had shed and completely dries it with his kisses, he ends his journey on her eyes, fluttering to a close as he plants a soft kiss on both. He leans his forehead to hers and then whispers, "Let it be the last time that I see you crying because of your ideal man, I haven't seen you shed a tear because of me, not that I want you to, I'm just saying that you should know your priorities, me first, then your father, then my Shinwha hyungs and whoever you want to fill in next, arasso." And just like that, the magic is broken, she dissolves in fits of laughter as he watch dumbstruck, 'I was seriously telling her off, and she's laughing, aish.'

He watches as she literally rolls on the floor laughing, he doesn't want to laugh with her but what can he do, her happiness is contagious, and it feels like not partaking in her laughter is a sin, a sin he can never commit. Oh, how he loves the woman, he is under a spell and he's loving every moment of it.

He was staring at her, thinking of things her mouth can do, aside from laughing... at him, and the way his mind works, having an FC of his own is not impossible. A flash of red covers his cheeks as his hand phone vibrates in his jeans pocket, his mind is working double time and what's playing on his mind cannot be stated here, unless this fiction is stamp with a rated sign *grins*.

He reads the message and act as he's suppose to, "Hye Jung-ah, I'm hungry, won't you cook something for me, for us? I bought groceries, as I plan to cook us dinner but,"

"your late," she cuts in, a snicker is highly visible on her face.

"And you already, accepted my apology, you can't retract that," he says, mildly alarm.

"And who says I'm about to, hmm?" she chuckles as she stands up. "What do you want to eat?"

"Anything made by you..." he teases a little.

"Aish, you really know how to suck up," she says with a grin. "Stay here, try to lie down and loosen up while I cook something edible... or not, hahaha," she tells him as she sashays her way to the kitchen.

When he hears her facing about in the kitchen, absorbed in what she is doing, he make his move, he open the front door and let her friends in.

Insert: Video clip of the surprise Song Eunee and company did on Hwangbo's birthday.

He stays on the side and looks on as her friends surprise her, he sees how happy she is with just a birthday song and a simple cake, he smiles at the love that shines on her eyes, her love for her friends and her love for him, he marvels at how fortunate he is to find a woman such as, how lucky he is that she allowed him to love her and how bless he is for her to love him in return.

And he sigh in contentment, he has more than enough love to make her happy, that he is sure, but to see her friends' love for her just makes his heart swell with pride, the woman he loves is love by everyone else because, just like him, they are all enthralled by an angel.
