...

yuna sits silently on her lounge, reading through the conversation she had with the boys earlier.

did they really forget my birthday? she thought to herself. a few tears roll down her cheeks at her sudden feeling of loneliness as she sniffs loudly. she closes her messages with the boys and opens her chat with her other friends.

...

...

she drops her phone to her lap as a loud sob shakes her body.

she'd started to feel really lonely, a feeling she always had but had been able to ignore and suppress. that was until she'd started to hang out with the guys so often.

having them around for a change had quickly gotten her accustomed to having people with her all the time and now that she wasn't with them and they'd forgotten her birthday, she couldn't help the overwhelming loneliness that encased her heart.

she groans as a knock sounds through her apartment, getting up to see who was there. looking through the peeping-hole she was shocked to find san's eye looking right back at her.

she quickly jumps back, wiping her tears away, before she opens the door.

"happy birthday!" he shouts wrapping her in his arms. she was taken aback, too shocked to even hug wooyoung and yeosang who followed san. jongho and hongjoong came next, both receiving confused and light hugs. seonghwa follows with a cake in his hands, opting not to hug the girl.

yunho was the next to walk in, his presence suddenly breaking yuna down into tears. she wraps her arms around her brother's body, clinging desperately to the back of his shirt. her breathing quickens as she buries her face in his chest.

"yuna? what's wrong?" she doesn't answer, instead her knees go weak as she almost crumbles to the ground, still gripping her brother tightly. "yuna? yuna!" he gently shakes her shoulders as she wails, tears wetting his clean white shirt.

"wait here, we'll be back in a second." he lifts the crying girl into his arms, bridal style, and carries her to her room, mingi following close behind. the younger male closes the door behind them as yunho sits on the floor against yuna's bed, still holding his sister close to his chest.

he tries hushing the girl, only to have her cry harder into his chest. "yuna, what's going on? what happened?" he whispers, laying his cheek atop her head. "i'm so sorry, it was just a prank, nana. i didn't mean to hurt you, i'm so sorry."

she cries for a few more minutes in her brother's arms before she finally calms down to quiet sniffs and hiccups.

"can you tell me what happened, yuna? was it the prank? i'm so sorry, i didn't mean for it to hurt you, i swear." yunho had probably apologised fifteen times already, even though yuna somewhat shook her head every time.

"no, it wasn't the prank. i mean, it really pushed me over the edge, but it wasn't just that." she looks toward mingi, his eyes silently asking her to continue, "i feel so lonely. i'm so alone, yunho. i feel like i have no one."

quiet tears start to roll again as yunho pulls her back to his chest, gently patting her head.

"no, you're not alone yuna. you're never alone. you have me and you have mingi. and i'm sure you know you have wooyoung, the guy would kill for you. and jongho and san and yeosang and hongjoong-hyung. and you've just got seonghwa-hyung wrapped around your finger, he adores you. we're all here for you, always. and even if we can't physically be here, you have danbi, jia and kyungsoo. you're not alone."

he rubs her back, coaxing her into calming back down. eventually she stops crying and just sits in silence, playing with the rings on yunho's fingers to calm herself down even more.

"you okay, nana?" mingi whispers, placing her hand on the small of her back. she nods silently, still playing with her brother's rings.

"are you ready to go out and see everyone? have some cake?" yunho asks, gently grabbing her hand to stop her playing with his rings. she nods in silence, making the two boys look at each other.

"you gonna talk, nana?" mingi questions with a slight smile, already getting an idea of what was going on in her head.

"not to them i won't." she giggles quietly. she wanted revenge for this horrible prank and even though she was absolutely certain it was yunho's idea, the others still played along and no one bothered to ask if she was okay.

even though she was also certain yunho told them not to.

mingi stands first, helping the girl to her feet before pulling her into a tight hug.

"you sure you're alright?" he whispers as yunho stands at the door, waiting for the two.

"yeah, i'm sure." she smiles up at him before she slips her hand into his and yunho opens the door, heading out into the hallway first. mingi and yuna follow, mingi pulling the girl behind him as they walk down the hall.

they enter the living room where the two boys stand beside each other, yuna behind mingi's back 'nervously' playing with the hem of his shirt.

"hey, what happened? is yuna alright?" seonghwa had been pacing the whole time, anxiously biting his fingertips.

"she... she said she doesn't want to talk to any of you. i'm sorry, i tried to get her to change her mind but... she's really upset and she just wants you all to leave." yunho explains, feigned sadness evident in his tone.

"what? did you tell her it was all you? because we really did nothing wrong." wooyoung steps forward, upset that yuna didn't want to see them.

"it was a pretty mean prank. and you saw what just happened, you can't really blame her for not wanting to see us." hongjoong places a hand on wooyoung's shoulder in hopes to calm him down.

"no, wooyoung is right. did you tell her it was all your idea?" seonghwa turns to yunho who had his head hung low. he shakes it slowly, desperately trying to hold back his giggles.

"in that case, yuna it wasn't us. it was all your stupid brother's idea and he told us not to check on you as well. we're sorry." wooyoung tries to get a peek at the girl behind mingi, only to have the large male turn, blocking his view of her.

yuna leans her head on mingi's back as her suspicions were proven correct.

i hate my brother sometimes. like i really hate him. she thinks to herself, rolling her eyes under closed lids.

"i don't what you want me to do, wooyoung. she said she doesn't want to talk to or see any of you and i can't get her to change her mind." he looks over at mingi who simply nods in agreement.

"yuna, just talk to us. we're sorry for playing along with yunho and we're sorry for not checking on you, just don't hate us." it was san's turn to step forward, his voice cracking like he was about to start crying.

yuna was starting to feel bad but yunho's hand behind his back told her to keep playing along.

should i really listen to him? everyone's mad at him for wanting to pull a prank and upset because they followed along. but it's funny. and sweet too. but i feel bad.

she decides to keep playing along, shoving her feelings of worry and slight shame deep down inside her.

"bub, please don't be mad at us. it was all yunho's doing, i swear." seonghwa's voice was soft as he almost begged her to talk to them.

everyone in the room was surprised when yuna had started to sob, her hand clamped over her mouth in an attempt to muffle her cries. mingi quickly spins around, pulling her into his chest and resting his cheek on her head.

"what's wrong? why're you crying?" he whispers, not entirely sure of what he should do.

instead of answering she simply throws her head back in laughter, slipping out of mingi's hold and falling to the ground. she rolls onto her back, laughing louder than any of them had ever heard her laugh.

nervous and confused chuckles fill the room as she jumps up, pointing at them all.

"you should've heard yourselves. 'yuna please don't hate us', 'it was all yunho's fault blame him'. you think i didn't already know it was his idea? i'm not mad at you guys, i just wanted some revenge and i got what i came for so, where's that cake?"

they all stare at her in shock as she smiles brightly at them. even yunho and mingi were surprised by her incredible fake crying.

"now that - that was so much worse than what we did. you're a terrible, terrible person yuna." a tear of relief rolls slowly down san's cheek as he looks at her.

she immediately rushes to pull him into a hug, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him down to rest his chin on her shoulder. "i'm so sorry, sannie. don't cry, please. and what you did was so much worse, don't even act like it wasn't."

he wraps his arms around her waist as the others sign in relief. she pulls away from him only to be lifted off the ground by jongho.

"you had me so stressed, i'm so sorry. happy birthday, yuna." he lets her down as the others come to wish her a happy birthday and hand her various small gifts they'd bought.

"now!" she claps her hands together, grasping everyone's attention once again, "where's that cake at?"
