Trapped

Jay was overwhelmed by the gesture the inn's cast showed him.

Throwing a party for someone you only knew for a week was something no normal person would do.

Of course Jay knew that them throwing him a party would probably help with the views and all that for the show but he knew the people he was with didn't care less for the ratings.

They were genuinely doing it because they wanted to.

"Surprised?" Chanyeol nudged him with a toothy grin.

"Yes! Thank you!"

After explaining how they managed to pull off the surprise, everyone took their seats and began to eat.

Everything on the table were dishes that Jay particularly liked during his stay in the inn so he had a great time eating and chatting with everyone.

"Now for gifts!" Kiwoong happily announced as he bent his body to pick something up from beneath the table. "I'll go first!"

Kiwoong handed Jay his present with a grin making everyone else raise their brows.

What did Kiwoong get Jay for him to be so excited about it?

The young man opened the box and then chuckled.

He was not expecting to recieve such a gift from Kiwoong.

"What is it?" The mayor's wife asked - excited.

The young man once again chuckled as he took out the object inside the box.

"An umbrella?" Wonshik asked. His eyes were staring amusingly at Kiwoong who shrugged with a grin.

"You should never forget your umbrella when you're at Japan. Trust me, I learned the hard way." Kiwoong's face showed discomfort - as if remembering something unpleasant.

"Open mine!" Chanyeol pushed a small box forward. "I didn't know what to get you so I opted for something that you'll be needing when you start with work."

"A watch." Jay muttered as he stared at the moving hands of the watch.

"So you won't forget what time it is. And so you'll never forget the time you spent with us here at the Inn."

"We had to get things with special meanings behind them?!" Kiwoong asked flustered.

Everyone laughed at Kiwoong while Jiyong and Dara slowly handed Jay each of their presents.

Both Jiyong and Dara's gifts were in a similar looking box. The difference was that the box used to hold Dara's gift had a black and red ribbon on it while Jiyong's had a blue and silver one.

"Oh~" Mino chimed, making everyone look at him. Curious as to why he sounded like he was excited for the gifts his labelmates would give Jay. Noticing the curious looks he was given, Mino grinned and said: "Dara Noona and Jiyong Hyung's gifts are always meaningful. I'm excited to see what they got for Jay-ssi."

In truth, he wanted to say that he hoped Jiyong and Dara gives him different things. He doesn't want the same thing that happened to him happen to someone else.

When Winner first completed their tour, Big Bang and 2ne1 had decided to give them gifts. Maybe because they had nothing else to give them and maybe because of their love for sneakers, Jiyong and Dara both gave all four of them shoes. Imagine recieving two pairs of shoes on the same day.

Maybe it wasn't such a big deal for others but Mino and his members had just debuted and they have never recieved any endorsements or things like that. So recieving two pairs of shoes was somewhat overwhelming.
