[Birthday Party]

Eunha still hadn’t finished his homework when summer vacation ended. Strangely, every time he tried to work on his homework, Eunae would ask him to play, he would have to take care of Eunae, or the children would come over to play.

Eventually, Eunha had to stay in the classroom for an hour after class to finish his vacation homework.

«Haha, I’m finally done. Captain, what time will you be back?»

Luckily, he wasn’t the only one who didn’t do his homework. Most of the boys didn’t do their homework, and in Eunhyuk’s case, he just wrote in his diary whenever he thought of it.

Even though it was just a simple diary of his training.

So he was asked by Yoo Ji-na if he had spent the entire vacation training.

«Yeah. I’ll be there around five. Go run first.»

«Okay.»

Eunhyuk hadn’t neglected to train as Eunha had advised. His sword stance was now fluid and powerful.

«Oh, by the way….»

Eunhyuk said as they were about to part ways at the intersection.

«Tomorrow, it’s Seona’s birthday, right?»

«…Really?»

«…Captain, do you know my birthday?»

«I don’t even know my own birthday.»

I do know my sister’s and Eun-ae’s birthdays.

«Captain….»

Why are you looking at me like I’m human garbage?

Eunhyeok looks at him with pathetic eyes.

Unable to resist his gaze, Eunha decided to change the subject.

«So, should I give her a birthday party?»

«Seo-na told me once that in the church, every month they call the children whose birthdays are on the same day to have a party.»

Seona was a church kid, so she’d never had a birthday party just for her.

She couldn’t pretend not to know.

What’s more, she had saved her pocket money to buy herself a gift for her birthday.

«…Maybe we should cancel training today.»

«Yes, let’s do it! I’ll tell Hayang!»

«Then I’ll tell Minji. …and I’ll tell my sister and Julieta.»

And let’s not forget the landlord, Grandpa.

This seems to be escalating somehow….

Despite the sudden thought, Eunhyuk was excited about the idea of preparing a surprise party.

«Captain, teach me how to hide! Let’s make the surprise party….»

«You’ve gone too far, you.»

Eunha clicked his tongue and hit a honey-flavored snack.

And so it began.

The curtain was raised on Jin seona’s surprise birthday party.

«Hey, Seona. Happy birthday.»

Eunhyuk’s drive was unparalleled. He prepared for the surprise party diligently without anyone’s help, just like a little troublemaker, with great enthusiasm.

Furthermore, Eunhyuk even notified the students of Seona’s birthday early in the morning before going to school.

«Thanks, but how did you know it’s my birthday?»

Seona, who had just put down her bag, seemed unfamiliar with receiving birthday wishes from the children. She looked shyly with her pointed ears drooping, and her face turned as red as a beet.

«How come we didn’t know your birthday?»

Minji said in an obvious tone.

Come to think of it, Seona remembered the children’s birthdays as well. So, she used some of the money she had saved to buy a birthday present for Eunha.

«Seona, happy birthday.»

«Thanks.»

Hayang, who sat next to her, congratulated Seona on her birthday and handed her a few small chocolates as a gift.

«I’ll enjoy them.»

Seona was delighted, and she never knew that she could receive birthday wishes from her friends in this way since she had always celebrated birthdays with all the children together since she was born.

It’s still too early to be surprised.

Eunha also congratulated her on her birthday. He sat by the window and chatted with the children from time to time.

«We decided to have the birthday party at Happiness! Did Hayang get permission from her father?»

«Eunha! How do you see me?»

«You’re doing great. I’m anxious because it’s you.»

«…I’m sure Eunhyuk will do well too.»

The children were already exchanging glances. They were frequent mischief-makers, but when they agreed on something, they were like brothers and sisters.

«What are you guys doing?»

Seona intervened. She too seemed to be at ease exchanging glances.

Fortunately, they stopped talking, and judging by their wagging tails and nodding heads, it seemed like they had a secret conversation.

«There’s something going on.»

Seona interjected. She, too, had gotten the hang of eye contact.

Luckily, judging by the question mark on her tail and the way she shook her head, she didn’t know what the conversation was about.

«Oh, just something,» Eunha evaded Sena’s gaze.

«Right, you don’t have to know,» Minji added with a hint of attitude as she returned to her seat.

«Hmm, where did I stop reading yesterday?» Hayang muttered to herself as she rummaged through her bag.

But the children’s reaction was unsettling.

«Wait, do you hate me now?» Seona’s eyes welled up with tears.

«No, of course not,» they tried to console her, but they couldn’t shake off her lingering thoughts.

Meanwhile, Sena, who had been secretly watching them, wasn’t pleased with Seona’s happy birthday celebrations and the fact that their dates of birth were so close.

«Should I give it a try?» she thought with a wicked smile and sent a message on her smartphone from under the desk.

Not again.

Eunha exclaimed and clicked his tongue .

«Enjoy, girls.»

«It’s Sena’s.»

«Sena’s birthday is coming up.»

«She’s having a party at McDonald’s this Saturday.»

«Are you all coming?»

«Have fun.»

It was lunchtime. After fourth period, the kids ran to the cafeteria, but stopped when they saw a line of men in black suits walking in.

The kids following Sena had already heard the story, and the men were pulling hamburgers, fries, and chicken nuggets out of the boxes they were carrying.

«Hey, since Sena’s treating us, should we say thank you to Sena?»

Miss Yoo Jina was obviously uncomfortable in this position. She glanced nervously at the men in black suits, then stormed out of the classroom.

«Wow, there’s pizza!»

The crowd of kids cheered when they saw what Sena had prepared.

«If you want more, just let me know. I’ll have someone bring it right over.»

«Hey, are you sure, I can eat as much as I want?»

The kid asked, swallowing hard at the thought of eating a burger right now.

Sena smiled through gritted teeth,

«Sure.»

The kids cheered. They wished Sena a happy birthday, sang happy birthday to her, and started taking their fast food.

«…We’re going to lunch.»

Minji, who had been looking at Sena with a disapproving glance at the table, spoke up.

The other kids did the same.

They avoided her because they were afraid of her shit.

Eunha thought it would be better to eat lunch in the cafeteria than in class.

But he thought,

«…how am I going to get out of there.»

«There’s a lot of people.»

Kids from other classes were filling the hallway, smelling the food.

«Kids, eat up~»

As if they had been waiting. Sena called out to the children who followed her, distributing fast food to the children in the hallway.

It was a cauldron of enthusiasm.

Ahhh…, this is too much.

As his head cooled, a cruel side of him unveiled itself.

«Oh, no.»

Had she sensed it?

Hayang grabbed his sleeve and shook her head.

«I…, it’s okay.»

Seona said with a bitter face.

The more she said that, the colder Eunha became.

This was a trick.

Sena had done this on purpose. To turn an unplanned fast food meal into something, and to make Seona’s birthday into nothing.

He didn’t like it.

I’d been thinking about it, but I couldn’t let it slide this time.

As he was thinking about this,

«Here. You guys take one.»

Before I knew it, the three leaders of the clique

Sena, who had suddenly appeared, handed out fast food to Eunha and his friends.

«Eat up, Seona.»

The girl following Sena smiled and said,

«Yeah. You won’t be able to eat much of this.»

«I thought you said it was your birthday. I guess Sena gave you a birthday present?»

«Happy birthday, Jin seona.»

«I’m so happy for you.»

They were scary kids. Out of place for their age.

It was said that children grow up fast.

Like how Eunhyuk and the kids trained in mana control throughout the vacation, it seemed like these kids had also learned how to stab someone with a smiling face.

These brats.

He flexed and uncrossed his hands. If he had a sword in his hand right now, he would have killed them all.

«Here.»

Sena wasn’t afraid of him holding back. Instead, his unyielding attitude aroused her possessiveness.

She wanted him. Someone who wasn’t tied to anything and wasn’t afraid of anyone.

She wanted him. So much.

She wanted him. Really.

Sena reached out her hand with the thought of having him this time.

This can’t be ignored, can it?

«…What is this?»

Eunha gestured to what Sena held out.

The children following Sena were puzzled. But Sena, who had anticipated his reaction, took his attitude in stride.

«It’s an invitation to my birthday party,» she said, «and we’re having a big one at my house this Sunday.»

The kids in her clique realized what her invitation meant.

He was chosen.

Having been warned by their parents not to offend Sena, they couldn’t believe that the rebellious boy had her undivided attention.

Or not,

«Why should I go?»

Eunha replied, his tone still sarcastic.

«If you come to my house, it will be good for you.»

«I don’t think so.»

«Really? Your father is an office worker, and attending an event like this would be very beneficial to him. On the contrary….»

Sena deliberately trailed off.

«On the contrary, if you don’t attend, what harm will come to your father?

It was a threat.

«…sigh.»

I guess you gave up.

Sena’s face lit up with joy. He interpreted the sigh as a sign of surrender to himself.

But he wasn’t that kind of person.

Unbelievable. You’re threatening me now?

He had tried to hold back, but now he couldn’t take it anymore.

I’d been patient, but now I didn’t think I could take it anymore.

To him, family was something that should never be touched.

But Sena had. Something that shouldn’t be touched.

Let’s kill her.

It would have been better if he had done it from the beginning.

So where?

Somewhere unseen.

It was frustrating that he couldn’t kill Sena right now, but there was nothing he could do.

He would kill Sena when the opportunity arose. No one would know.

But before that…

«My dad is an amazing person. You won’t have anything to lose from him.»

He needed to know if Sena was worth killing.

He wasn’t the <Undead> who swung his sword like crazy anymore. He was just an elementary school student, No Eunha.

«Let me ask you one thing.»

«What?»

«What does your father do?»

«My father?»

Sena furrowed her brows as if she didn’t know.

«My dad is the president of KK Pharmaceuticals, one of the subsidiaries of the KK Group.»

«…What?»

«The president of KK Pharmaceuticals. Don’t you know KK Group? KK Group.»

«I know. How wouldn’t I?»

Eunha looked at her with a disappointed expression. His anger, which was about to explode at any moment, subsided like adding cold water.

KK Group was the seventh largest conglomerate in South Korea’s financial hierarchy.

The group’s main businesses, now and in the future, were electricity, architecture, and advertising.

KK Pharmaceuticals was not an influential company within the group.

Especially not pharmaceuticals.

«Huh?»

Eunha looked back at Hanyang, who was trembling with her big eyes.

A smile escaped his lips.

The Alice Group is currently ranked eighth in Korea’s financial hierarchy.

If the future doesn’t change, Jung Seok-hoon, who has received investment from Alice Group, will merge all the top pharmaceutical companies and monopolize the potion market.

One small pharmaceutical company out of nowhere.

It was ridiculous. Moreover, if she was a direct descendant of KK Group, her last name should have been ‘Kim’. Her last name is «Jin,» which means she’s a fence maker.

When she said she didn’t know fractions, it had to be for her.

Among other things.

«I’m not going. You’ll get your ass handed to you by your father.»

The thought of killing Senna vanished. She wasn’t worth the risk.

«…What?»

Sena repeated, as if she’d misheard.

«If it comes to it, it comes to it.»

«…Are you serious?»

«I mean it. If it means you can mess with my family, do it.»

Sena can’t touch his family.

He’d kill her if she did, but he was pretty sure she wouldn’t be able to.

My dad, the manager of Sirius Devices.

Sirius Group is the second largest company in South Korea. Given that Sirius Group’s main business is player devices and automobiles, the position of head of the department is quite powerful.

As I heard a while ago.

Eunha had always assumed that his father was just an ordinary office worker who could be found everywhere.

So when he heard that the company he worked for was an affiliate of a group that was second in the financial hierarchy, he spat out his milk.

His father, a man with nothing, working at Sirius Devices solely on his own merit, was going to be promoted to a better position next year.

My dad, he’s an amazing guy.

And the president of a small company wants to mess with him.

«…Wait and see. I’ll make you regret it.»

Sena’s face is fierce, and she’s threatening.

«Whatever.»

I’ll kill you then.

Eunha replied dryly.


«Ta-da~!! Happy birthday!»

«Seona! Happy~ Birthday~!!»

Euna and Julieta blowing up birthday firecrackers.

The surprise party was a success. The kids didn’t divulge any information about the party until after they took her to Happiness.

So when she walked into Happiness, she was so surprised that her eyes widened when Julieta and Euna set off the firecrackers.

«Happy birthday.»

«Surprise~!!»

«Seona, happy birthday.»

«Happy birthday.»

Seona looked back at the children behind her.

Her eyes filled with tears. She hadn’t expected them to celebrate in this way, as she had wondered if she would be alone all day.

«T, thank you.»

Finally, she burst into tears.

«Crying can wait, we have a birthday cake!»

Minji brought in a large cake with Jung Seok-hoon’s help.

You didn’t make that, did you?

Where was the time to make it?

Phew, that’s good.

What? Are you done talking?

Eunha and Minji have a snowball fight.

After wiping her tears, Seona cried and then laughed.

There were many people gathered at Happiness. She felt indescribably happy that people had taken the time to celebrate with her.

She cried and laughed. Her tears were filled with happiness and flowed down, while her smile couldn’t hide her joy.

«You’re going to ruin your pretty face.»

Euna hugged her tightly. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she clung to Euna and wagged her tail.

«The candles will go out! Jin Seona, why aren’t you turning off the lights!»

Eunhyuk, the organizer of the surprise party, shouted.

Then people started singing happy birthday,

[Thank you all].

Seona carefully blew out the flickering flame.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday

My dear Jin Seona~!

Happy~ birthday~to you!
