It's Haechan's birthday.

So everyone decided to throw a surprise party for him too.Normally Baekhyun is strictly against these parties but Annie and Taehyung somehow convinced him saying that he wouldn't have to do anything.In fact no one's work would be hampered.Only the group members that don't have work today will prepare for the birthday and the others can continue their work and just show up to the party.That would be enough.After Taehyung and Annie's constant pleading Baekhyun sighed and agreed.

Now it's 6pm.Mark and Jaehyun had dragged Haechan out of the territory to somewhere while they prepare for the party.Annie,dreamies,Taeil,Lucas,Joy and Seulgi are here preparing for the party while others are at work.Haechan has no idea about the party.The whole day everyone wished him happy birthday normally but he doesn't have any idea about the party.

Taeil was making a video of the whole process while Annie told everyone what to do.The preparations were almost at the end when Baekhyun and Lucas walked into the casino.Baekhyun had taken Lucas with him today to work.They had to get a few deliveries today and send some supplies to a few places,check up on their loan sharks, make sure their is no problem in any warehouses.There was a lot of work but Baekhyun and Lucas finished everything in three hours mainly because Lucas didn't want to miss the process of preparing for the party and Baekhyun heard that Annie was here.So he finished his work as fast as possible and he didn't work extra like other days.

When Baekhyun and Lucas walked in they saw all of them chit chatting happily while decorating the casino.Annie looked so happy.That made Baekhyun happy.He smiled while walking towards her and hugging her from behind.Annie didn't see him coming so it startled her and made her stop talking to look at him.She looked at him and smiled immediately seeing him.

Lucas was doing something so everyone else's attention was on Lucas so no one noticed Baekhyun back hugging Annie.

Annie slowly unwrapped his hands from her,turned to him and asked,"Did you finish your work already?"

Baekhyun nodded.

"How?"Annie asked.

"I'm Byun Baekhyun,Annie,"Baekhyun said and smiled.

That made Annie chuckle,"Now that you two are here,help us with our preparations."

Then Annie handed Baekhyun a few balloons and asked him to blow them.Baekhyun didn't want to be part of this 'stupidity' as he calls it,but now that he's here he can't do anything.

He took the balloons and grumpily sat on a table and started blowing the balloons.Annie and the others were bringing the sound system,the cake,preparing the confettis etcetera.

Baekhyun was blowing the balloons and judging the balloons and thinking,"Who likes balloons these days?It's not like Haechan is a child or anything..so childish.And why is Annie chatting with them while I'm over here?Am I not important?I left my work for her!!And this is the treatment I get?I get to blow these stupid balloons in the corner?"

Baekhyun was getting irritated.He had a frown on his face while he was tying a knot on the balloon he just blew.

That's when Lucas ran towards him dramatically and stood right in front of him.

Baekhyun didn't even look up and he is hundred percent certain about what Lucas is about to say and he didn't even have to look up to see there was a mirror in Lucas's hand.

"Hyung,I'm in trouble!!!"Lucas said.

There he goes again.

"Lucas if you say that 'it's because I'm so awesome,the world doesn't deserve me' one more time I'm going to kill yo.."

"It's because I'm so awesome,the world doesn't deserve me,"Lucas said while looking in the mirror he was holding in his hand.

Baekhyun was about to lose it but right then Annie got a phone call and after that she said,"Guys,quick call everyone here.Haechan,Mark and Jaehyun would arrive in fifteen minutes!"

"Ay ay captain,"Jeno said as everyone started calling others while Baekhyun sat on the table sulking.Annie saw him sulking so she came and slowly sat beside him while calling the others to come and leaned her head against his shoulder. Baekhyun smiled at that.

That made him stop sulking and he continued to blow the rest of the balloons happily.

Haechan was pleasantly surprised.He didn't expect that.Normally he's the one who surprises everyone else.And now he was so touched that everyone else threw a party for him.They enjoyed a lot.They talked,ate,danced and so much more.The party was really fun.Everyone enjoyed.

The party ended at 12.Because some of them were tired,some of them needed to head back to work and Haechan couldn't miss his radio program.That's why he put an end to the party.

Annie had to leave as well.Baekhyun was sad that she had to leave again but they couldn't help it.Baekhyun was happy that she stuck by his time during the whole party.That's why he was in a really good mood the whole time.He didn't start ranting that how much of a waste of time it was.

Annie gave Baekhyun a tight hug before leaving.As Annie was leaving Baekhyun watched her walk away as usual.He was sad.Being with her felt so warm and nice.He doesn't know why he likes her so much but being with her gives him a familiar warm feeling he lost years ago.He was craving for it unknowingly for so long.Now that he feels it again he doesn't know what to do.

Suddenly Annie turned around towards him and winked at him.The corner of her eyes sparkled like usual.Baekhyun smiled.She also smiled back and waved at him.That wasn't her normal smile.Her smile seemed so sad.She didn't want to leave either.She was smiling but she also didn't want to leave.But then she turned around and walked away.

Right then something happened.

Baekhyun felt a huge 'pang' in his heart as soon as he saw her smile at him like that.

That smile suddenly seemed oddly familiar.

Some memories Baekhyun had locked in his mind for years were about to come our but Baekhyun quickly shook his head.He doesn't want anything to do with that part of his life anymore.It hurts too much when he thinks about it.Baekhyun shook his head trying to get rid of the flashbacks that were trying to come in his mind.He doesn't know what triggered these flashbacks and he doesn't even want to think about them.

After he was successful in doing so he looked straight ahead and said to himself,"Let's go to work and not think about useless things.That'll help."

For once he thought he would go back home early without working extra.But guess what?

It's almost 12:30 am.

Haechan,Mark,Jaehyun,Yuta And Taeil  were now in Haechan and Yuta's room.Taeil had made a video of Annie and the other's preparing for Haechan's party.He claimed that they had a lot of fun and everyone should watch the video.Everyone was curious so they decided to watch the video.

Haechan tried to watch the video for the first couple of minutes but at first it was just Renjun beating up all the dreamie's ass before Annie's arrival.Haechan sees that everyday so he lost interest soon and his radio program was about to start.So he sat by the window of the room and plugged his earphones in.He smiled when he heard the host's sweet voice welcome everyone to the program.

Haechan closed his eyes while listening to the host of the radio program peacefully while others sat on the bed,watching the video Taeil made.

While the host was telling some fun story,Haechan suddenly heard someone calling him.Haechan frowned and opened his eyes to see what was up.Mark was signing him to put his earphones down.Haechan pulled out one of his earphones and raised his eyebrows.

"We are ordering late night snacks.You want something?"Mark asked.

"Chicken,"Haechan replied.He wasn't too excited about his radio program getting interrupted but he couldn't say no to food.

Haechan was about to put his earphone back in but he stopped when he heard something rather someone in Taeil's video.

His turned his head towards the bed,trying to search for the source of the familiar voice and his eyes fell on Taeil's phone.Annie was talking in the video.

He could hear Annie's voice from the ear he had no earphone on.

And..he could hear the voice of his favorite midnight radio show host from the earphone he had on.

And...the voices were the same.

Haechan widened his eyes and gasped loudly when he realized this.

Holy mother of..

Everyone looked at him questionably.

"Is anything up?"Jaehyun asked.

Haechan slowly shook his head still not knowing how to react about the discovery he just made.

Everyone shrugged and just turned to their video.

Haechan was sitting there,completely shook.

Everything makes sense now.

Haechan feels so stupid for not getting this earlier but he also feels proud because he's probably the first one in the group that found it out.

Haechan was still shocked but he already started thinking about the ways of how to make this discovery more dramatic.

That day at 8 pm after Annie came to the territory Annie and Baekhyun were now walking to the parking area together while talking.The parking area was quiet as usual today.While they were walking Annie saw Haechan coming towards them with a huge smirk on his face.Both Annie and Baekhyun didn't know what was up with him.Haechan stood in front of the two of them,still smirking.

"What did you do this time?"Baekhyun asked,frowning.

"What?No..I didn't do anything this time,"Haechan said.

"Then who did what?" Baekhyun asked.

"Nobody did anything.I just found out something interesting!"Haechan said while smirking.

"I know it's probably a load of bullshit so Annie-ah let's just go.And you,Haechan,go tell Joonmyun hyung whatever bull crap you were about to tell me.I don't have time for this at all,"Baekhyun said and was about to pull Annie towards his bike but that's when his phone rang. Baekhyun got his phone out and looked at the screen.It was an important call.He turned around and took a few steps away from them and answered the call.

Haechan kept looking at Annie with a huge grin.

"Is something up?"Annie asked,feeling a bit weird about Haechan's behavior.

"Noona,"Haechan called.

"Hmm?"

"I think I know who you are,"Haechan said.

Haechan always says stuff like this to try and actually figure out who she is.So Annie didn't think too much of it.She just chuckled and said,"Really?What did you find out?"

Haechan's smirk grew wider.

"I found out that you're the host of the late night radio show Kim.."

Annie widened her eyes and freaked out.Seems like Haechan has really figured out but she can't let Baekhyun hear this.She has to stop Haechan somehow before he utters out her name and Baekhyun hears it.Her mind wasn't  processing anything correctly so she did the first thing she could think of to stop Haechan from saying her name.

Annie quickly spun around once and raised her leg upwards and kicked Haechan right on his cheek,with all her strength.

The back of her boot hit against his cheek and he fell on the ground because of the sudden and strong attack.Annie was also shocked by what she did suddenly so she gasped quickly and sat down beside Haechan,"Haechan-ah,I'm so sorry.Are you Okay?"

Haechan was traumatized by this sudden attack.He held his cheek where she kicked him and called in a shaky and shocked voice,"Noona.."

"Oh no,I'm so sorry..I didn't..I couldn't.."

Baekhyun also turned around by the sound of the loud kick.When he saw what was happening he quickly hung up his call and tried to figure out why she kicked him.He understood that Haechan might've figured out who she is and she doesn't want Baekhyun to know it yet.But he pretended like he didn't understand why she kicked his so suddenly.If she doesn't want him to find out,he shouldn't ask Haechan too.

Baekhyun asked the two of them,looking at Haechan's swollen cheek,"Should I call Yixing hyung to treat him?"

"Yes please,quickly,"Annie said.

Baekhyun nodded.Yixing didn't pick up so Baekhyun ran to where Yixing is.

After Baekhyun left Haechan asked Annie,trying to suppress the pain,"Noona,Why did yo.."

"Sorry,Haechan But I couldn't let Baekhyun find out about me now.If he figures out what I do,it wouldn't take him seconds to find out who I actually am,"Annie said sadly,"I'm sorry."

"Noona,you could've told me to shit up.You didn't need to kick me..this hard,"Haechan said whimpering in pain,"And why are you so strong?"

"I wasn't thinking,Haechan.I'm so sorry.I did the first thing that came to my mind,"Annie said,embarrassed.

"So if you are sorry give me something,"Haechan said.

"Give you what?"Annie asked,confused.

"That.."

"What?"

"Autograph."

"Huh?"Annie asked,still confused.

"Autograph.I have been a fan of your show for so long,"Haechan said shyly.

Annie chuckled at how cute it was.She ruffled his hair,"I would give you 50 if you ask me too.So would you forgive Noona?"

"You bet!!"Haechan said excitedly and it made both of them laugh.

When Yixing and Baekhyun came back they found the both of the laughing as if one of them didn't kick the other one just a few minutes ago.And both of them were confused to see that.

Time started passing by quickly.Joonmyun and Namjoon had finished making their plan about Yoojung and Rubies and shared it with the other members.They all liked the plan.They even fixed a date for the attack.It was two weeks from now on.Everyone is both excited and nervous about that.

Right now it's 4 pm.

Namjoon is sitting in his office room trying to call Taehyung to come there as they needed to talk about something.Taehyung said that he went out with Irene to get some weapons.God knows what's taking him so long and why he isn't answering the call?Namjoon needs Taehyung to go somewhere with him.

Baekhyun was in Ilsan today.He had to leave last night hopefully he will be back by tomorrow.Joonmyun is really busy today.But he said that he would go with the two of them even when Taehyung assured them that they would be fine alone.But none of them wanted to leave him alone.Especially today.The three of them have been texting him continuously today to make sure he is okay.He seemed okay all day but Namjoon is concerned as to why he isn't picking up the calls now.

Seeing Taehyung not picking up he called Irene to ask her if Taehyung is still with her.Irene listened to his question and said,"I didn't know Taehyung was coming here today."

Namjoon clearly remembers that Taehyung told him 20 minutes ago saying he's with Irene.Did he lie?Why did he lie?Where is he now?Is he okay?

Namjoon quickly called up Joonmyun to tell him what was up.Then he decided to call Annie to see if she knows anything.

Annie saw the incoming call from Namjoon but declined it and looked at the person sitting in front of her.

She was currently in a cafe where he had called her to just a few minutes ago.In front of her is sitting none other than Kim Taehyung.She didn't know why Taehyung called her here so urgently so she came as quickly as possible.He hasn't said anything till that point.Annie was really curious why he called her out today out of all days.

Taehyung saw her decline the call and asked,"Is it one of my hyungs?"

Annie nodded,"It's Namjoon Oppa."

Taehyung smiled,"They must be worried about me."

"Your hyungs really love you a lot,"Annie said.

"Yeah,I know and I do too,"Taehyung said and looked at his bubble tea and sipped it.

Annie wanted to know why he called her so suddenly so she asked,"Taehyung-ah.."

But he cut her off as he looked at her and said,"You've been crying."

Annie suddenly remembered that her eyes are still probably red and face is puffy from the crying.She should've taken care of it before getting out.But when she got Taehyung's message she just quickly came out of her house to the cafe thinking something was up.She just smiled awkwardly but didn't saw anything.

Taehyung chuckled softly and asked,"Do you know what day is today?"

He looked so sad.

Annie tried to lie,"I heard from the gang members.It's your father's death anniversary.I'm so sorry."

Taehyung chuckled while mixing the drink with his straw and said,"Wrong answer."

"Huh?"Annie asked,looking at Taehyung curiously.Did she get the dates mixed up?That couldn't be.

"Then what is it today?"Annie asked while looking at Taehyung.

Taehyung stopped mixing the drink and looked straight at Annie's eyes seriously.His seriousness scared Annie a bit.

Taehyung then seriously said,

"It's our father's death anniversary."

Annie's heart completely dropped.She's found out.Taehyung knows who she is.How long has he been knowing?Annie had so many questions,possibilities in her head but she completely froze.She didn't know what to say.

Her brain couldn't process a single thing.But she somehow asked in her shaky voice,"You knew?"

"How could I not?"Taehyung asked seriously then he joked,"What kind of idiot do y'all think I am?I knew it from the very first day."

"So..you're not furious?You don't want an explanation?Taehyung-ah.."

"I do.."Taehyung leaves forward,"But today is just not the day.I didn't even want to reveal that I knew today..but..I didn't want you to be alone today,you were alone this day all these years..and hyung is not in Seoul so it won't be too much of a problem.."

Annie looked away,"Taehyung-ah..I'm..sorry..I don't.."

Taehyung smiled warmly and kept his hands on her hands reassuringly.

"You don't know where the grave is,do you?Wanna come and see him with me?"Taehyung asked.

"Taehyung-ah,I'm not ready for that yet..maybe..maybe..later.."Annie said trying to hold back her tears from falling again.Annie didn't know what she did to have Taehyung in her life.She wronged him so many times.But here he is now.

Taehyung smiled and came and hugged her saying everything is gonna be okay and she can take all the time she needs.

Just like a brother should.
