~Milo's POV~
James picked me up to head over to the practice room where my birthday party was being held.
"Are you excited for your first birthday with RC?" James asked, with a large smile on his face. Clearly he was excited.
"Not really." I shrugged.
"What? Why not?" He asked.
"I just don't really see the point in it." I shrugged again.
"Do you not usually celebrate birthdays?"
"Not our own, no. I like celebrating other people's but my family, we didn't really celebrate birthdays that much."
"How come?"
"We didn't have the money to."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's okay." I snickered, hoping to make him feel better. "I'm happy, so it doesn't matter."
I looked to see James giving a small, but feeling-bad type of smile. The rest of the car ride was silent until we arrived at the dorm. We walked in together and everyone started to sing me happy birthday, but in Spanish.
"Oh my god!" I exclaimed, not expecting them to sing in my language. "You guys learned how to sing that in Spanish?!"
"Yup!" Kaoru exclaimed. "Thanks to a little somebody."
Kaoru motioned towards the middle of the group where somebody stepped out from the back. My eyes lit up as soon as I saw him.
"Louis!!" I shouted, running up and giving my older brother a hug.
"Happy Birthday Emilio." He said to me in Spanish.
"Thank you." I said, still hugging my brother tightly.
Although we were under the same company, ever since he debuted, I rarely got to see my brother, so it was touching to see him there. After a few moments, he broke our hug.
"I don't want you getting emotional." He said. "Let's enjoy your party."
I looked up at my brother and nodded with a smile as I wiped the very few tears I had.
"Let's party!" I shouted, causing everyone to cheer.
The music started to play and everyone started to dance and party. That's when Viv came up to me and Lane, who I was still with.
"Happy Birthday Emi oppa." She said, her hands in her pants pockets.
"Emi?" Lane looked at me with a scoff.
"Don't repeat that." I glared at my brother.
"I think it's cute." Lane said.
"Right?" Viv said, agreeing with Lane. "Anyway, your brother was telling me all about you as a kid. You sounded pretty adorable."
"Oh no, what did he say?" I asked, really nervous.
All she did was snicker. So did Lane.
"I hate you guys." I muttered.
Viv snickered once more. "I'll see you around, oppa."
Viv lightly hit my arm as she walked away. I smiled as I watched her leave. I then turned to my brother to see him staring at me with a smirk.
"What?" I asked.
"You got a little crush?" He raised a brow.
"What? On Vivian? No way."
"Okay, yeah, whatever."
"I'm serious!"
"Well, whether you do or not, she seems like a pretty cool girl. Different than girls her age and where she comes from."
"Yeah, she is different, a good different." I said as I glanced at Viv from far away, who was challenging Barae to a game of darts.
"If you do like her, don't let her slip away from you, okay?" Lane said.
I looked at my older brother. I didn't say anything, but I did take his words into consideration. I didn't know how I felt about Viv but if I did ever like her, I knew I would take the chance.
I spent my birthday with my brother and members. Although I wasn't looking forward to it, I actually had a blast. It was a lot more fun than I expected, and I was thankful to everyone for making it possible.

~Pop's POV~
I checked myself in the mirror for probably the 20th time in the last five minutes.
"Pop, you look fine." Kaoru, who was laying on her bed, flipping through a magazine said.
"Fine isn't good enough." I replied. "I want to look perfect."
"I thought you said this wasn't a date?" She said. I looked in the mirror to see she had a raised eyebrow.
"I-It's not." I muttered.
"So then why does it matter?"
"It's A.D, unnie! You know I like him!"
"And you look fine. Besides, I don't think you have to worry about what you look like too much."
"Why not?"
As I asked that, the doorbell rang. I screeched before running out to the door. Kaoru followed me. I opened it to see a quite snazzy-looking A.D. He looked me up and down and his eyes sparkled.
"Wow, you look amazing." He said.
I blushed. "Thanks, you do too."
"Alright, have fun you two." Kaoru said, pushing me out the door. "And have her home by 10!"
"Yes ma'am." A.D saluted to Kaoru.
I giggled as we headed over to the car where he opened the door and helped me in. He started driving without telling me where we were going, but if I knew A.D, he was never going to tell me. Eventually, we arrived at our destination, which was Hangeng Park. We exited the car and I saw he had brought a small basket as well as a blanket. I gasped with excitement as soon as I saw them.
"You didn't?" I asked.
"I did." He said with a smile.
I followed him over to a spot near the Han River, the same spot we've had a picnic at before.
"I thought this was a good spot." He said, laying out the blanket.
"I agree." I nodded as I held the picnic basket for him. "It brings back memories."
He smiled. He seemed happy that I remembered. After laying out the blanket, we both sat on it and he started to take things out of it. It was normal things you would bring on a picnic, fruits, vegetables, sandwiches. Simple things that made me smile. After he finished taking out all the food, I noticed something poking out of the basket. After realizing what it was, I immediately grabbed it.
"I've been looking all over for this!!" I shouted, hugging the item. It was the turtle plush I got for my birthday two years ago at the start of RC.
"You weren't suppose to find that yet~" A.D whined.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
He sighed. "I guess it's ruined now." He leaned over and took something else out of the basket, the comic book I got him for his first birthday with RC.
He grabbed my plush and set the two items down.
"Remember these?" He asked.
"Of course." I nodded. "You got me that and I got you that."
"Mhmm." He nodded.
"But why do you have them?" I asked.
He smiled suspiciously. "You'll find out later."
"Oppa~" I whined.
But he ignored me and started to serve me food. We enjoyed lunch at the park. After eating, we got back in the car but the day was still young. The next destination he took me to was an arcade, the one I took him to for his birthday last year.
"Ooo!" I exclaimed.
As I got out of the car, A.D grabbed a backpack and threw it on as we walked inside. He paid for our tickets but he stopped me before I could do anything.
"Okay, Pop, I brought something." He said.
"Okay?" I said, a little scared to find out.
"Close your eyes." He said.
I closed my eyes and I heard him unzip his backpack and take out what sounded like a plastic bag, and then zip the backpack back up.
"Okay, open." He said.
I opened to see he was holding the backpack out towards me and his other hand was behind his back.
"Don't ask questions and just go change." He said.
"I'm sorry?" I asked.
"Promise?" He said.
"I..." I was very confused.
"Okay great!" He said. "Meet back out here."
A.D rushed into the bathroom and I had no choice but to go in as well. I went into a stall and pulled out the other bag in the backpack. I laughed after seeing what it was. It was my Harley Quinn costume from Halloween.
"What is he thinking?" I mumbled to myself.
Although I was questioning everything, I did as A.D told me. I put the costume on and built up some confidence before exiting the bathroom, only to see A.D in his Joker costume. I screeched as I saw him.
"You still look good in that." I said.
He smiled. "And so do you. Now lets play games."
"Dressed like this?" I asked.
"Yup!" He exclaimed.
Before I could say anything, he grabbed my hand and took me out to the arcade games. We started to play games, constantly competing and having fun. We got a lot of weird looks but we didn't really care. We just enjoyed ourselves.
After about two to three hours at the arcade, we changed out of the costumes back into our original clothes, and got back in the car.
"One more place." He said.
"Please tell me it's dinner." I whined. "I'm starving."
"It is." He smiled.
"Yes!" I cheered.
I watched, trying to figure out where A.D was taking me. I never figured it out until the restaurant was right in front of me. It was a Thai Restaurant, one he had taken me to before. My eyes lit up when I saw it and I couldn't wait. We enjoyed dinner with lots of energy and excitement, until it was time to end the night and take me home. As we arrived at the dorm, A.D walked me up to the door, my turtle plushie in his hand.
"Thank you for tonight oppa." I said. "I had a really great time."
"That makes me really happy to hear." He said, handing me my plush. "Because I wanted to ask you something."
My happy look flattened into curiosity. "What is it?"
"Everything we did tonight, did it spark memories?" He asked me.
"Every single one of them." I said.
"They did for me too." He replied. "They all resembled my favorite memories with you."
"They do?" My eyes widened, not thinking about it so deeply.
"Yeah." He said. "Picnic at Han River was from your birthday last year, and frankly, it was one of the happiest moments I had seen you and it made me feel good. The turtle and comic book were our very first gifts to each other. The arcade was from my birthday, and it was probably the best birthday I had ever had. The costumes were from our couple Halloween outfits which I was glad to have coupled with you. And the restaurant is probably my favorite because it was the first time you trusted me and was comfortable enough to be yourself around me. That was the day you were homesick and you even cried into my chest. As much as I hated seeing you like that, I was so happy to have been the one there for you."
All I could do was smile, and I felt my eyes start to water. "Oppa, I can't believe you did all of this."
"It's not over Pop, there was a reason." He said. He grabbed my hands and held them in his, causing my eyes to widen. "Pop, will you be my girlfriend?"
My jaw dropped, but the corners of my lips curled into a smile. "Oh my god, A.D oppa, yes! Yes I will!"
I jumped into his arms and plopped my lips onto his. It felt like everything froze and I was the happiest girl in the world.
"That makes me so happy." He said after our kiss.
"It makes me really happy too." I said.
We stared at each other with smiles before finally leaving. Although I didn't want him to go, I was satisfied. It was probably the best day ever. July 25th, 2020, me and A.D started dating. I was overly happy, and everyone else was ecstatic too when we told them. It made us happy too, and it was so relieving to be able to be with him as more than just friends.

~Blue's POV~
All RC members were in the practice room once more. We were all sitting on the floor in front of the TV which we still had the console hooked up from Evil's birthday. Since the console had YouTube on it, we just used that.
"I can't believe you are finally going to debut." Soeun said.
"I know." I said. "I wish you were too, though."
"That's okay." Seoun gave a small smile. "I'll get there eventually."
"Hopefully sooner rather than later." Changbin said, causing Soeun to smile back.
The 4 of us continued to talk for the 5 minutes. Once the clock struck 6, we opened YouTube and pulled up our company's channel where our new video was the first to be shown. We clicked it and all watched together. Once it was over, we all clapped and cheered.
"Evelyn, where were you during the dance part?" Kaoru asked who was on the opposite side of the group from Evelyn.
"I had a family emergency to attend that day." Evelyn replied.
"Is everything okay now?" Scout asked.
"Yeah." Evelyn nodded with a smile.
We all continued to chat, asking each other questions. Suddenly I felt my arm being touched.
"Congratulations." They said. I looked to see Changwoo.
I smiled. "Thank you."
"You looked really good by the way." He added, looking down. I saw his cheeks naturally blush.
"Awe, thank you oppa." I snickered.
I saw him nod. He couldn't look up anymore and I knew he was too shy. I just smiled though because I thought it was cute. I didn't say anything, mostly because someone else asked me a question but also because I didn't want to start anything so soon.
