Snow was still dumbfounded when the light flashed and a massive size of cake appeared before her.

"Surprise!" said all of them in unison. Then, they sang birthday song and edited it a little bit...

"Happy birthday to you, happy old day to you, happy birthday to this monkey, you're getting older"

Snow's face be like -_-

I bet this is Niya's idea to make that song.

"Guys, thanks. You never fail to surprise me" said Snow, while make a small but sincere smile.

"Of course dear. You're the baby of our group" said Zein while hugged Snow. Hohoho, that so sweet of you~😗

"Thanks" this time, Snow hugged all her friends while kiss each one of them.

"Yuck! Snow! Why did you kiss my cheek? This wet kiss brings many bacteria!" Said Amy as she rubbed her cheek.

"So, let's eat!" shouted Mark. You could see drool at his lips.

Suddenly, Snow remembered someone. Where is he?

"You search for him?" asked Zein, knowing what in Snow's mind. Snow nodded her head.

"He's right there at the rooftop" said Zein As she pointed out the stairs that they never realised it exist.

Snow climbed the stairs and going out to the rooftop. The moment she open the door, the first thing she saw was someone who stood before the scenery of the city.

"Jean?" Snow called out, making Jean to turn around to look at her.

"Happy birthday White" he said softly.

"Thanks... What are you doing here?"

"Celebrating your birthday, be happy about it" he tucked his lips into a small smile. "I need to go as I feel unwelcome here. Bye!"

"Unwelcome? No, w-" Snow couldn't finish her words as he cut her while putting his index finger in front of his lips.

"Shh" his eyes looked at somewhere else before turned looked at her again, signaling her to look at it too.

Snow looked at that direction and saw Mika was secretly glaring at them. 'What the--'

"I told you" he said sweetly before widening his smile. Fake, his smile was fake.

Jean then walked away after he wave at her. As soon as his figure was gone out of their sight, Mika quickly approach Snow.

"Are you okay? What did that bastard wants?"

"What do you mean? I'm okay"

"My man's instinct told me that he had a VERY bad intention, very dangerous"

"What nonsense are you spouting, Mika? He already has a girlfriend and it's not like he's going to rape me"

"But, why? Toward his ex?" Mika asked with a dissatisfied expression obviously shown. Snow only smiled in response. A smile of confusion and wondering.

"Hmn... I also don't know what is he thinking. Maybe guilty?" Said Snow as she leaned her elbow on the fence. Eyes looked at the scenery while wondering.

"He definitely should," reply Mika, agreeing with Snow's statement before he leaned against the fence. "But he doesn't deserve forgiveness"

"Hey, he probably was a jerk but everyone deserve a second chance"

Mika didn't give any response other than a dissatisfied grunt which was quite loud to be heard.

It was quiet, so quiet between them that they could heard far sounds like the cars and vehicles on the roads, the billboard and the people around the city, and the noises of the people that are still inside the cafe clearly.

Snow didn't say anything, for the first time she feel extreme calmness and relaxation. Mika could clearly see it through her blue eyes. Maybe she found out she was still loved afterall? Or she receive better recognition from her ex? Mikael could only guess.

"Snow" he called gently, no sound of teasing, no mean nickname, just a soft name being called gently. Snow turned to look at him in anticipation of what he would say.

'This situation is so romantic!' She thought, flustered when the timing was so right. Their hairs sway as the breeze blew, making a small sound of wind. In nervousness, Snow's heart thumped harder making her feel flustered all over her body.

"Snow" called Mika suddenly.

"Yes?" Immediately, Snow turned to look at him. He was facing her while his eyes were staring at hers, as if trying to say something serious.

'What is he trying to say?' Thought Snow. Because the atmosphere was romantic and she knows that both of them used to have feelings for each other, Snow couldn't help but to expect a confession coming from his lips.

Those eye contact continue for a few seconds before the neutral look on his face turned slightly sad, thus instead of a sweet heart-warming confession, she received a question.

"When will you stop all of this?"

"Stop what?" Snow asked back, confused by his sudden strange question.

With saddening face and a small but fake smile pasted on his face, Mika gently put his hand on her cheek. His eyes became watery while voice that was about to break when he slowly spoke out.

"You made me worry, Snow"

Snow who knew what he meant looked elsewhere, not wanting to continue the eye contact. She didn't say anything back because she knew, whatever she said is just an excuse.

"Happy Birthday," he said gently before let go off his hand of her cheek. Hesitatingly, he walked away, leaving Snow there alone.

With the corner of her eyes, she paid attention to every steps he took before that boy completely out of sight, bringing the secret she had with him.
