Soo Ho's Birthday

---- Long Chapter Alert ------

As i was waiting for the elevator, i heard footsteps stopping beside me and Soo Ho's cheerful voice broke through my shell of anxiety.

"Good Morning, Hyung"- He said curling his lips in a beautiful smile. I looked up to see him holding a large bouquet of white lilies.I smiled back at him in response.

His face was beaming like the morning sun.

"Your fans,huh?"- i commented as we stepped inside the elevator .

"My fans send their gifts at another address of mine.They don't know I live here.It's my mom.She's a film scholar actually.She's in USA right now. And as today's my birthday..."- he softly chuckled as he scratched his head looking at the white floor.

"Soo Ho-ah! I didn't know. Hyung couldn't prepare any present for you. Tell me what do you want i will ..."- my words were cut by the loud arrival ding of the elevator.

We were on our floor now. Soo Ho was walking beside me when I spoke-"So no one to make you seaweed soup today, huh?" He nodded with a pout.I rumbled his hair and  a soft smile formed on his face.I remembered what jungkook said and quickly moved my hand. "Hyung, mom has sent me some famous coffee powder from states. Will you taste it for me ? I need to reply her something or she will nag me to death !"- Soo Ho breathed out."but I don't.."- my words were cut by Soo Ho's as he pleaded ''Hyung! Please!"

I couldn't say no to him. I didn't even thank him properly for the last time... I curated a smile as we stepped inside his apartment.

Soo Ho's apartment was large with a minimalist look. It was well lit, yet that was pleasing to eyes. Every nook and corner of the room was proving his interest in Art. I roamed through the living room and spotted a beautiful portrait of him hanging on one of the walls. His hazel nut eyes looked so amazing. His hair was perfectly placed and his gaze could easily pierce through the thickest shelled heart. Mesmerized by its beauty a word slipped through my lips "beautiful".

He heard it. He took a small strides with two coffee mugs in his hands and stood beside me.

"Thank you."- he said, his cheeks tinged with shade of little red.

I took a sip from the mug as my eyes stuck at the photo in the shelf standing under the portrait.  A wave of surprise almost rattled me down.

Isn't it Jungkook beside Soo Ho? They are wearing same uniforms. They must have been...

"That's him. He hasn't told you yet. Has he?"- Soo Ho's voice was calm not like his suave usual tone.

"No..I mean.."- I looked at Soo Ho in surprise. His jaws were getting hardened. "We used to go to same middle school. Then I transferred to USA."- he carved a smile.But his face was not beaming."Oh!"- i thought to ask Jungkook about it.

Why didn't Jungkook tell me about Soo Ho?

"Chuck it Hyung! Taste the coffee for me.Mom has also sent me some cookies too. Wait. I will get you some"- Soo Ho went back to kitchen and I sat down on the sofa. My phone beeped as a text message from Jungkook flashed on the screen.

"My flight will leave now. Be good okay? I will bring some goodies for you. I love you."

"Hyung, have some cookies."- Soo Ho placed the plate on the glass table and smilingly said.I nodded and picked a cookie up.

"Hyung, you wanted to gift me something ,right? So will you spend my birthday with me after we finish at Mr.Choi's place?"- Soo Ho looked into my eyes as he spoke. His tone was smooth and suave as usual.I smiled and said "Okay! We will. But now I gotta go. See you at Mr.Choi's".-------

At the shoot, i noticed Mi So and Joon Ki not talking to each other.

In the break time,i saw those two fighting over something and Joon Ki leaving. Mi So was crying in the corner. I walked to her and handed her a bottle of water. She wiped her tears with back of her hands and looked at me smilingly . "Now , what has that idiot done?"- i asked.Mi So sobbed through her words as she said "Oppa doesn't belive me. My bestfriend Sungjae has returned from Australia and he is staying at my place for few days. Oppa doesn't like him because Sungjae is protective about me. And...""Mi So-ah! Stop crying first. Should I talk to my stupid brother and " i showed my fist as I continued "knock some senses into him?"Mi So smiled at my gesture and nodded her head. I wiped off her tears as I cooed "Mi So-ah! Joon ki is being jealous.That's all. He becomes stupid when he's jealous. Just think how would you react if he puts up a woman in his place? Won't you be jealous ? "Mi So was silent for a second and calmly said- " i would.""That's the case. Have a good talk with him and clear out. I can't see a  lovey dovey couple fighting all the time. Okay?" - i stroke her hair gently. "Hyung!"-the jealousy in joon ki's voice could be heard even from the miles away."YOU MORON! come here! "- i pinched him and tackled him under my arm. "If you again fight with Mi So and make her cry, i will fire you. Is that clear?"A happy smile could be seen on both of their faces. I smiled as I spoke in a soft tone -"I am giving you guys five minutes. Talk it out okay?"

The sun was setting down when the shooting finished. I was beat. My phone was inside my pocket. I turned it on to find six messages  from jungkook.

Oh no! I haven't replied him yet.

I typed a reply hurriedly ."Okay! I love you too."

I was sitting inside my car as Joon Ki was talking to his phone. I looked at my wrist watch. It's already 6 pm. Mi So brought  some banana milk and handed it to me smilingly. "Where's mine?"- i heard Joon ki whining as he got inside the car. "That's for Taehyung Oppa.You don't get any. Now shut up and drive already. We are getting late"- mi so rolled back her eyes in fake annoyance. "My cute Mi-So"- joon ki pulled her cheeks and started the ignition key. Mi So's face was tinted with pink spots as her lips curled in a soft smile.

As Joon Ki dropped me off at Mr.Choi's studio,i saw Soo Ho waiting in front of his car with his manager. His face brightened up as soon as he noticed me getting out of the car.My phone started buzzing again.

Jungkook called!

A wave of happiness surged inside me.I picked up the call.

"Hyung? Are you busy?"- he purred out."Yes. I am at Mr.Choi's place."- i continued to talk to him as I walked towards the front door.

"Okay. I just came back to my room. And you know I was kinda missing your scent. And I wanted to hear your voice and ...."- his voice seemed drowsy as he spoke.

"Are you drunk?"- i stopped in midway as I asked him.

"Yes. Just a little. When will you get back? Call me when you get back home hyung. Okay? I am just gonna sleep for a while" - he breathed out. I smiled to myself.

That workholic guy must have been working all day long.

Our meeting at Mr.Choi went very well. Mr.Choi was one of the Arthouse director in our country. The shooting was decided to start from the 2nd January. I heaved a relief of sigh.

Jungkook would  nag if he doesn't get to stay with me on my birthday .

Soo Ho and I went to celebrate his birthday. We went to a small restaurant ,as Soo Ho had made the reservation earlier. After finishing our dinner, we headed to Sullivan's Rock. We drank red wine as we talked about our coming film,our characters and I couldn't hear my phone buzzing again and again.

The light started to fade after the ninth peg. I felt like puking up and went to the washroom.The world around me started to whirl again. My eyes felt heavy.I could only hear Soo Ho screaming "Hyung? Hyung? are you all right?"
