It's your Birthday!?

Facade~ True beauty fanfic

Suho was exiting his taekwondo classes institution with hardened look. He was furious that the man he despises the most had the audacity to come back to Korea after what he did.

He still remember the day when his mother died and how his father was with another woman not caring about his wife's death.

He was suffocated by his presence, he loathed him from the bottom of his heart. The fact that his father acted as responsible person in front of cameras while his dark doings were hidden disgusted him.

In the evening, waking up after having a nightmare, he went to freshen himself up.

He thought of going to Prince comics since he wanted to calm his mind before going to school.

So as he decided, he came inside the comic shop, Mr.Prince was not in his chair at the moment.

Suho didn't pay much mind to it and went in further. As he was entering horror comic section, he saw a girl sleeping on the chair he usually sit on.

The girl had a book on her face and was sleeping in certainly awkward way.

Suho looked at the school uniform she was wearing and frowned.

Saebom high?

He slowly lifted up the book to see a very familiar face. A face that he would never fail to recognize given to the person's annoying personality.

"Kang Y/N?" He accidentally said that out loud causing the said girl to stir a little, then Suho heard the girl murmur something under her breath.

He leaned in close to listen what the girl was whispering.

"No..no...not my ramen...it's mine...No!"

The said girl stood up abruptly causing Suho to jerk back un surprise.

Then she stretched her arms and moaned while standing up.

"I feel like shit." She muttered and squinted her eyes get a better view at her surrounding.

Instead of big lights of her room, she was welcomed with a confused look on Suho's face. She got startled and backed off, but since the chair was just behind her, she accidentally tripped and began falling back along with the chair but thanks to Suho's quick reflexes, he immediately grabbed the girl's wrist and pulled her towards him.

The girl felt a sudden jerk forward and bumped into Suho's chest.

She looked up in surprise but halted her movements when her eyes met those mezmerizing deep brown orbs of the one and only Lee Suho.

On the other hand, Suho didn't left the wrist of Y/N. He just kept staring back at her,To him those shining orbs held the greatest mystery among them.

They both kept looking into each other eyes, trying to unravel secrets through those orbs.

They both heard a chuckle behind them

and it was the only moment when they both realised one thing.

They were only inches away.

They both sprang away from each other as if they got shocked.

"Can't you balance yourself!? "He said hastily giving me a look

"Well I am sorry that I got startled with your dumb looking face. " I rolled my eyes turning away and hide my embarrassment behind a cough.

"I am the dumb looking one? I think you should worry about yourself more." He pointed a finger at my messed clothing and frizzy hair.

"Excuse me, I still look dashing as ever." I retorted back and he picked up the chair that fell down because of me.

"Did you spend the night here? Let me guess, you got kicked out of your house." He said and my eyes widen.

Is it really that obvious?

"I didn't got kicked out.....I just got away from there...? " I said, more questioning myself.

"Whatever, don't you ever dare to sit on my seat ever again." He warned while walking away and I clicked my tongue.

I purposely sat down on the chair when he was about to come back. I gave him a smile while he took a deep breath in.

"Why are you so childish?"

"Why are you so grump-ish?"

"I am not grum-"

Our ranting was cut off by a stomach growl. I blushed in embarrassment and looked away.

Way to show yourself stupid x 2

I just sat there with head down

I can't ask Mr.Prince for food again, I have already asked for too much help from him.

"Aren't you going to eat something?" I heard Suho ask whike his eyes were still on the book.

"I don't have money with me." I slowly muttered under my breath.

"Sorry I didn't heard that." I thought he really didn't heard me but when I looked up, I saw corner of his lips turned up in a small smirk.

I wanted to elbow this guy in gut at the moment but the food made me decide otherwise.

"I don't have money with me alright? I would have to go back home-" I said annoyed.

"Oh....so sad."

"You are the worst man I ever met!" I unconsciously pouted standing up.

I think I have to go back to home hungry, but I might faint in middle. Oh my food.

"C'mon." Suho stood up motioned her to follow him to cafe area of the store.

I narrowed my eyes at him but followed nonetheless.

"Take any drink you want." He opened the fridge and I looked at him suspicious of his behaviour.

"What?" He asked noticing the look I was giving him.

"Just thinking, the possibilities of drinks being poisoned." He was about to close the door when I put a hand between it.

"I was just joking, why are you taking it to heart?" I gave him a sweet smile and took out several drinks along with chips from the side rack.

"I meant only one drink." He closed the door of the fridge.

"I know right! I was about to give you only one drink." I handed him one of the cold drink can and moved to the table. I sat on the sofa and as Suho was about to sit I spoke up making him stop in his movements.

"But I will still be hungry after drinking this."

"So what?" He said monotonously and I gave him the best puppy look I could muster.

"If you help the one in need, they might help you in future. "

"I don't need your help so not interested" He stated crossing his legs sitting down.

"Not even in 'You are demon' newly released book?" I opened a packet of chips and started munching on it. When he didn't react much on it, I threw my last card.

"I will do your notes for a week but you will have to treat me noodles every day."

I saw him halting for a second in his movements.

"What do you want?"

"I am hungry, get me something to eat." I smiled with cheeks puffed because of chips stuffed in it.

He shook his head and got up. After few minutes he came back with two bowl of ramen, steam coming out of it.

"I love your choice!!" I happily put away the cold drink can and pick up the bowl. I lifted up my chopsticks and pick up noodles with it, blowing off the steam and ate it.

I was too busy in devouring the noodles that I didn't noticed the intent gaze of the boy on me.

Once I noticed him looking at me, I stopped midway of slurping noodles.

"Don't stare at me like a dog, you can eat it." I pointed at the second bowl of ramen.

"Are you sure I am the dog here?"

"I heard that."

"You were suppose to"

"Just eat it before I snatch it." I threatened while pointing chopsticks at him but he only shook his head and picked up the bowl.

"It's tasty right? Now you know why I crave for it."

"Yes it is, considering it's my first meal on my birthday." He said making me stop.

"It's your birthday!? Why are you here on your birthday?" I asked in pure shock but he didn't respond to any of the question.

A fuckin stupidly brilliant idea came in my mind.

I smacked his hands making him drop his chopsticks and stare at me in confusion.

I took the bowl out of his hands and put it on the table.

"Wait here" I sprinted out of there leaving a dumbfounded guy behind.

"Am I going regret telling her?" The boy wondered and stared at her disappearing figure.

"Woooooooh!!" He heard the girl exclaim cheerfully while sprinting back in the room with a candle in hand.

Suho frowned at this.

"Where did you get that?" He questioned which the girl ignored and silently lit the candle with sparkling eyes.

Where did I get the candle and matchstick from? The decoration sometimes comes in handy you know, and Mr.Prince's drawer too.

Sorry Mr.Prince.

"Shut up. Now blow the candle and make a wish." I beckoned him to blow the candle which I lit just beside Ramen's bowl.

Suho was still trying to understand what the girl was trying to do.

"Are you ser-"

I forcefully shut his eyes and put a hand on his eyes while pinching his nose so that he could only breath through his mouth.

"Just blow for goodness sake!" Just as I pinched his nose, he blew out a breath.

"Happy birthday!!" I remove my hands from his face and clapped.

"I didn't even make a wish." He said nonchalantly.

"Maybe not you, but your heart did." I poked a finger at his chest where his heart was then retreated back unbeknownst to his shocked gaze on me.

I picked up his bowl and offered him a bite of noodles which he raised a brow at.

"This is what they do when they cut the cake right? Feed each other? Since we have ramen at hand with me being the only one present....." I motioned him to eat but he kept looking at me with unreadable look.

"Don't look at me like that Mr.Lee or I would suspect that you have a crush on me." Just as I said that he immediately took the bite and also snatched the whole bowl out of my hand.

"Stop acting like you are my friend. " He stated while slurping on the noodle hastily and I tilted my head in a mocking manner, smirking.

"Is that so? I might have suspected wrong." It was surely a sight to see Suho flustered but I didn't wanted to make him uncomfortable.

"Anyways, I should go home."

"You just said you got kicked out." He lifted up his head looking at me tilting his head.

"I SNEAKED out, not KICKED out." I put emphasis on those two specific words and gave him two finger salute.

I rushed back in when I realised I didn't gave him any gift.

"I don't have anything to gift you right now so take this." I handed him the sticker I took out of the book.

"Consider this a great gift as I only got this sticker only once in my entire lifetime but still giving it away." Then I looked at my watch and horror spread on my face.

"It's night?!! Happy Birthday once again, see you tomorrow!! " I ran out of the store.

While Suho stood behind looking at the retreating figure of reckless Kang.

His face softened when he remembered how she forcefully made him blow out the candle and make a wish.

He looked at the sticker she gave him, he decided to put it on his room's lamp so that he could remember this day. Not that he was going to forget this memorable moment of spending time with the girl who he found the most annoying.

While the other girl ran straight to her house panting heavily. She looked at garage to see no sign of her uncle's car. She sighed in relief and went inside her house.

When she entered, she heard someone sobbing.

Did my house became haunted?

Then she saw her.

Ms.Choi crying on the sofa, when she finally looked up to see Y/N before her eyes, she immediately stood up and pulled her in a hug.

"You scared me! I thought something happened to you!" She said and then pulled away checking for any injuries.

"I am fine, look no scratches." I reassured her smiling but she just only kept crying.

"I promise you that I am fine. Is he at work?" I asked and she nooded sniffing.

"You go up and change, I will make you something. You didn't even ate anything."

I smiled at her and nodded.

I went up to my room and changed into comfortable clothing.

My mind went back to the comic store. Ahh...being an extrovert is tiring.

I laughed at the thought of flustered Suho, who he averted his eyes from her in a haste.

But her laughter died down once she realised what deal she made with him.

Shibal! I told him I would do his notes for a week! For a whole fuckin week!!!

What were you thinking Y/N!?

And the book, I don't have a problem with that but the notes....

"Uggggh" I groaned dropping face first on my soft mattress when a voice called out .

"Dinner's ready Y/N! Come down." Ms.Choi called out and I stood up.

I will figure out to avoid that subject. Maybe he will forget because of my charms.

Pfft...I am fabulous!

Oh how wrong I was! ; ;
