Pleasant Surprise~!
Where Choi Minho thought that his lover,Lee Taemin forgot his birthday.
9th December 2010.It’s Choi Minho’s birthday. Minho wasn’t expecting a transcendent birthday celebration. A day with Lee Taemin would consummate his birthday wishes. He wished nothing more than that. As he woke up early morning on the 9th December 2010, hoping his best birthday gift would lay next to him giving him one of the many tender morning kisses with morning breath. To his disappointment, he woke up on his birthday morning without the usual accompaniment of Lee Taemin on his bed. No morning kisses from Lee Taemin makes Choi Minho a grumpy, old man.
Still intoxicated by his drowsiness, he woke up lazily from the bed. Calling out his lover’s name. His lover is nowhere to be found in their apartment. The sun shine brightly but it would be brighter if Taemin was there being the first person to wish him “Happy Birthday.”Being the grumpy, old man, he is now; he cleaned himself up ready for a disappointing birthday.”How could Taemin forgot his birthday?”Minho grumbled on his way to work.
As he arrived at his workplace, he is happily greeted by his best friend, Onew.”Hey, Minho Happy Birthday.”Onew wished with a bright smile enlighten the gloomy atmosphere.”Oh, thanks hyung.”Minho said without even a slight change of his mood. Onew smelt a trouble is brewing, so he walked away from Minho and his grumpiness.
Day at work seems so bored. Minho have no spirit at all, everything bores him to death. He doesn’t get his drug, his antidote for the day. Every meeting, anything happens around him in the office escaped his notice. He never had been this lack of concentration before. During lunch time, he tried calling Taemin for few times but disappointingly no reply. Onew who realised this came to clear things out with Minho.”Minho, are you sure you’re ok?”Onew asked concerning Minho lack of liveliness.”Oh, nothing hyung, I just felt a little tired, that’s all.”Minho said in attempt to not worry his hyung any further.”Go back then, take a rest.”Onew said being the caring hyung and employer he is.
Minho obeyed his elder’s order and went back home, hoping this is just a dream and he would wake up from the worst birthday ever. As he cracked opened, the apartment door, he was half hoping that Taemin and all of his friends would popped out from nowhere shouting “Surprise.”But, apparently that didn’t happen.
Minho went to the kitchen counter placing his car key at the same exact spot he place every single day after work. But, a yellow post-it with unmistakably Taemin’s handwriting grabbed his attention.
Minho were puzzled with the Post-it and walked away from the kitchen counter heading to their empty bedroom. As he was about to open his wardrobe to grab his clothes, a pink post-it with blue ink but with similar writing was posted against the wooden wardrobe door.
As he was searching what to wear by rumbling his clothes, another post-it was found on top of pile of folded clothes.
A white graphic tee and a faded blue jean. ”What is he planning?”Minho thought. But, he doesn’t mind taking on this scavenger hunt to meet his Minnie back.
He walked to the bathroom where another post-it greeted him on the bathroom mirror. He took his long, deserving shower determining where this post it would take him.
After his shower, and wearing the clothes Taemin had chosen for him, he went downstairs.
“Where should I go anyway?”Minho asked himself completely dumb-strucked. Minnie didn’t tell him where to go. He seated himself on the driver seat of his red convertible car and buckled up. As he predicted, Taemin was completely prepared for this. There were two post-its swaying with the wind. The yellow one was posted on the GPS.
Minho laughed at Taemin message; it is true Minho had the tendency of losing his way on the road. Another one was posted on the car radi ,
Minho turned on the radio where the cute, adorable voice greeted him.”Hello, I’m the DJ Minnie of Min Radio. Today, we’ll be playing all Minho’s favourite songs which sometimes I hate. Minho saranghae! The first song hummed softly flowing as the car begins to roll its way to the road. Minho’s car ride was accompanied by Taemin’s constant chatters. Taemin sounded like a real DJ. This surely will be the best birthday ever for Minho.
The annoying voice of GPS leads him to a wide grassy ground with a white helicopter parked in the middle of the ground. When he arrived, the sun already hides behind the cloud, the sky is turning pitch black, and it’s about time for moon and stars to come out from their hiding place. Minho wandered around the ground, nearing the helicopter, curious with the helicopter. He found another Post-it on the helicopter metal door.
The pilot invited Minho to ride on the helicopter. Clearly, this is thoroughly planned by his Minnie. This reminded Minho one of his many conversations with Taemin.
Minnie, you know I always wanted to ride on a helicopter and fly above Seoul during night time.
And, on his birthdays that wish came true. As he expected, the sky above Seoul on night time are beautiful. To be honest, its way beautiful than he ever imagined. The helicopter flies lower; indicating it’s time to land.The helicopter came nearer to a building rooftop, with his bare eyes Minho sees bright lights which spells HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Minho plastered a genuine smile for the first time on his birthday. As the helicopter came in contact with the cement of the rooftop; Minho sped out the helicopter as fast as he could. The rooftop were dark and only illuminated by the scattering candles which spells HAPPY BIRTHDAY.”Taemin, Taemin” Minho shouted.”Come out, come out wherever you are.”Minho said sarcasticly.He wanted this hide and seek to end right now.A pair of hands came in contact with Minho’s waist,a small voice whispered.”Happy Birthday, Choi Minho.””Do you like your birthday present?”Taemin asked curiously.”Well,ummm.”Minho said just to tickle Taemin’s patience for awhile.”Oh,no!”Taemin said shutting his eyes, like he always does when he made mistakes.Minho laughed at the sight of Taemin scared to death. Minho kissed Taemin’s eyelids, persuading Taemin to flutter his eyes open.”You’re the best birthday present that I ever get,even if you only gave me a kiss as a present,it would still be the best birthday ever.”Minho said cheesily.Taemin looks at him partially confused.”So, that means next year I just have to give you kiss as a present?”Taemin asked jokingly.”Well, that means my birthday is everyday because you kiss me every single day.”Minho said looking at Minnie.
