Looking at like the sunlight,like destiny
On the beautiful day, that one person"

"Amore, wake up" Luan waken up Jia early in the morning. She groaned and scratch her eyes, "Good morning  Mi Amore"

"Tesoro...good morning...what do you want?"

"Lets have a date"

"This early?"

Luan nodded,  "Yes, birthday girl"

She blushes and thought, 'he remembers'. She didn't expect that he would renember it. She immidietly get up and prepares herself.

After she dolled up, she then went out and she saw Luan smiling at him. Luan opened the door for her. When she was inside, Luan thumbs up to Xianhui and to the others, as the signal to them to go the venue where they would celebrate Jia's birthday and christmas.

Xianhui and the others went to 3BR Private Pools and Garden Villa 6 at seaclub. It was a beautiful small house wherein it was sorrounded by palm trees and plants, and a rectangle pool outside the house. It was rented by the staffs for them.

Taehyeon, Seungkwan, Woohyuk, Allisa, Yunho, Althea and Jaemi began to clean the house where they rented.

Hansol, Junghyuk, Hara, Yeona, Blue, Yihyun, Sua, Jaewon and Drake began to prepare the utensils they neeed in order to cook and bake.

Meanwhile Rohsi, Daehwan, Gyeheon, Sunwoo, Jessica, Seungcheol and Alice began to buy the ingridients for the foods. Jiyeon buys a cake. Xianhui ordered another cake online and pick it up, Victoria and Andrew for drinks. Daniel for Ice Cream.

After they clean up, Woohyuk, Taehyeon and Allisa were blowing the ballons. Meanwhile Jaemi, Althea, Seungkwan and Yunho designed the whole venue.

"Does the Happy Birthday Ballon is already ready?" Jaemi ask

"Yes The Happy Word is already done" Allisa replied

"Okie lets put it" Seungkwan said, "Yunho are you done?"

"Wait....I'm almost finished"

"Can someone help me move this chair?" Althea ask

"I will" Junghyuk volunteer and he then help her to move the chair

"What can I help?" Hansol ask, since she is waiting for the ingridients to arrive

"Can you help us cut some flowers design?" Yunho said and Hansol nodded enthusiastically

Soon later Hara and the others who assigned to cook joined and help decorating the venue while waiting for the ingridients.

Department Store

"Gosh this is too many" Daehwan grumbles

Roh si just slap his back, "Enough grumbling Hwannie! You are the one that voluteer"

"Yeah yeah"Daehwan said while rolling his eyes

"I could imagine if Xianhui is here, she will began to rebut Daehwan" Alice muttered while getting the butter

"I agree with you, Alice. Good thing that she is not here" Gyeheon agreed and he laugh as he imagined Xianhui and Daehwan's chaoticness

"World war III would happened again" Jessica exclaim

They laugh

"Oh please, I don't want to hear eunnie and hyungs fighting" Sunwoo said

"Guys Guys I saw a Korean Restaurant over there, we should eat before going back" Daehwan suggested

"Ah no, we should go back immidietly because they needed the ingridients" Jessica said

'Yeah...I need to go back because Blue is already clinging at Yihyun right now...'Gyeheon thought.  He hates the fact that there is also someone trying to steal Yihyun's heart

"Do you know what lets go and punch this things to the cashier" Sunwoo said

≫ ──── ≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫ ──── ≪

"I never thought that we are going to have date" Jia said. They were at the beach, walking hand to hand.

Luan just smiled, "This is not the end of the surprise, theres more"

"Wait, theres more? I really wanted to know it" she hopped up. Her face was full of excitement and you can see how brightens her face

Luan just wink at her, "Secret"

She jokingly punches him, "You are so..."

"Sooo..."

"Annoying" she murmured that made Luan giggled.

≫ ──── ≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫ ──── ≪

After an hour later, the ingridients team, Jiyeon, Xianhui, Victoria, Andrew and Daniel arrive and the cooking team began to do their task and the others was also doing it. It was a busy day for them but even though with it, their smiles was plaster over their faces.

Even though they just got to know 3 weeks but their bond is more than a friendship. Slowly by slowly they are like a family that was builded on a dating show.

Andrew can't help but to teary eye. He didn't expect that he will meet people like this. On his life he was surrounded by his family, Jessica, teammates and his manager but now he met them. It was like a destiny, "This is the happiest day of my life" he murmured

"I'm glad you are happy" Jessica said, she heard what he said. Knowing Andrew, she was glad that he was not crying anymore. She was glad that she found a new batch of friends.

Also...

She then look at Andrew going to Hara side who was happily helping at her. With a proud look, Jessica was glad that Andrew found a new love.

"We are meant to be the character development of each other not the ending one" she said

Woohyuk also heard what Jessica said. He then look at Hara. He also found same sentiments with her. He was once her angel that he promise to be together when they see each other but sadly he didn't fulfilled the promise since his heart suddenly beats on a girl that he never thought he would be falling in love with. He felt sorry but he was feeling ok when he saw his angel found another captain to be together with.

He looks at Alice who was also decorating. He can't help but to smile. He also found a princess.

And yet...

There are some are still in the midst of love triangle and love square. Yihyun and Blue got closed at each other after their dates. While they were cooking, they were giggling at each other.

Blue said some corny jokes that made Yihyun giggled. Gyeheon stares at them while he was cutting some design. If stares could kill, Blue would be dead. Gyeheon loves Yihyun, even though his feelings was wreck by Jia once but still his feelings for her remains and now he has a competition to win on her heart.

It was Blue.

Who has a crush on Yihyun.

Yihyun doesn't know her feelings yet. She thought that she still love Gyeheon but Blue made her feel something.
Meanwhile Allisa, Blue's ex just accept the fact that Blue is in love with someone else, who is not her.

If you think that they are the only one but nahh

Daehwan and Xianhui who was fighting over the designs. Seungkwan just casually looking at them but felt jealousy. He still loves Hui but Hui was confused over her feelings between him and Daehwan. Even though he felt pain and jealousy, he still waits for her and her answer.

He hope a day comes Xianhui will come back at him again.

Daehwan likes Hansol. That's the fact but Xianhui mades him feel confused over his feelings. Even though he knew the answer over his heart but still there is a doubt.

Hansol really likes Daehwan. She likes him to the point that she will going to do anything for him. She was in pain when she knows that Daehwan also likes her bestfriend but still she will wait for him. Hansol sighed, while tasting what she cooks. She was sighing not because it taste bad but it was the two people in front of her.

Staring at your ex while she was cooking with someone else, that was Yunho do right now. He was decorating and at the same time staring at them. It hurts him especially now Sua had starting to develop feelings for his bestfriend. He wanted to shout in pain. He wanted to seperate them but he wouldn't do it cause he feel bad.

Junghyuk knew that Yunho was staring at them, he knew that his best friend was jealous and he feel bad for it. He don't want his bestfriend to be in pain but he also don't want to be in pain also. He really wanted to be selfish just this time.

Uncertain? Jaewon is not uncertain on his feelings. He likes Roh si not as a friend but as a person. He didn't knew a certain moment where he bgan to like her, it was just sudden, like he was just shot by Cupid. But it was not the same as Roh si.

Rohsi was uncertain on her feelings. She don't want to enter yet in relationship. She don't know if she could trust the persons. Although she had a feelings to Jaewon but still the doubts was still there.

And now 2 persons Daniel and Victoria became a villains on their relationship. People made them confuse and doubts.

Rohsi sighed

"Are you okay?" Jaewon said while cooking the Aglio E Olio

Rohsi smile, "I'm okay Jaewon. I just think of something"

"What is it?"

"About Daniel? Can I trust him?"

If it is Jaewon's selfish side, he would sais no but Jaewon is not that kind of person, "I don't know about him personally and I don't want to judge either based on my basic knowldege about him. Its depends on you, Rohsi. If you want to trust him, go but I hope your choice will not make you cry in the end" he said and smile

Roh si just smile. 'This man is really a green flag' "You are right..."

Yet... there are others are already certain on their feelings that they still love each other.

Drake who is cooking and Althea who is decorating. This two adults still love each other despite that both of their families are still against on it, their feelings remains. Continue fighting amidst all of the trials.

Jaemi and Seungcheol, college students and both still in love. Blooming each day and hopefully the forever will be on them.

Yeona and Sunwoo, the youngest among the couple, despite what happened on them, they still choose to forgive and to forget. Having a new future laid on them.

We also do not forget Luan and Jia, despite the deadline that was set on her, their relationship still fighting and they never gives up.

But...there are two ex couples who don't want to be together and they also don't have partner. It was Jiyeon and Taehyeon. Both of them still remains friends but second chance would be totally impossible especially the other side don't want it.

"Guys I would go and distract Jia for while so that Luan could buy his gift to her"

All of them nodded at her and continue doing what they needed to do.

≫ ──── ≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫ ──── ≪

Hours passed by and now it was time for them to surprise Jia. As every normal surprises be like, they turn off the light and waited for Jia to arrive.

"Wait Xianhui! Why the light is turned off?" They heard Jia's voice unknowing that there would be a surprise prepare for her

"Ah 1, ah 2, ah 3 Saengil chukahamnida saengilchukahamnida
Saengil chukahamnida dangsinui saengireul. Happy birthday to you (Happy birthday to you)

(Happy birthday to you) Happy birthday to you (Happy birthday to you) Happy birthday to you (Happy birthday to you)
Happy birthday to you, dear Jia" all of them sang while Luan brought her the cake

When Jia saw this, she can't help but to teary eyed. She never expect it. "Omo"

As the lights turned on, they shouted, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" and throws confetti at the same time

"Omg.. thank youu" she can't help to stuttered and tears falling like a rain droplets.

This was the best birthday ever. When her mom passed by on her birthday, everytime Dec. 25, she can't help but to be down but today, her new found family created a new memories that she would never forget.

Once a nightmare but it turned out into rainbow

"I will never forget this..." Jia said to them

"We also wouldn't forget this moment eunnie" Yihyun said to her, "Happy Birthday"  As Yihyun said this she gave a  butterfly ring as a gift.

"It is my and Gyeheon's birthday gift to you, eunnie. Although we're not so close nor distant, I want to give something that gives off some meaning to our friendship so, I hope you like it, Jia!" Yihyun continue

Jia hugged Yihyun, "Thank you Yihyun. It really means a lot."

Jia looked at Gyeheon, she smiled, "Thank you"

Gyeheon smiled back, "Anything for you, Heiress"

"Can you stop calling her Heiress?" Luan  said. He can't help since those time, Gyeheon repeatedly calling him like that and it annoya him.  Gyeheon laugh

"Gosh you are so possesive man! It is just a nickname"

"Just a nickname? If Blue will call Yihyun, heiress, is it okay with you?" Luan retaliate back and Blue was shock that he was included on their conversation

'Why am I included? Did I do somethinv wrong?'

"Hell no!" Gyeheon shouted and Yihyun blushes as she heard this

"Oh gosh, love fools" Hansol commented

"Jia, never mind them. This is my gift for you" Hara said and she gave her a new set of clothes

"Omg this is so pretty. Thank you, Hara"

"Eunnie this is my gift for you" Roh si said and gave her handmade bag.

The others began to give her the gifts. Hansol gave her a silver necklace with heart charm and a matching earring set. Jaewon gave her a bunch of vitamins. Alice gave her a human sized teddy bear.

And Yunho promise her to bring to America for her medication that made Jia cries with the gifts she receive.

Last but not the least, Luan...

Yunho and Junghyuk began to sang A Thousand Years. While they were singing, Luan came to her and he holds her hand. Slowly by slowly, he bend his knees, "Jia, can you be my girlfriend again?"

Jia smiled to him dearly and nodded, "Yes"

"Mi amore, I promise to be with you even till the end of the lifetime. I will never leave you. I will always take care of you. I love you, mi amore" Luan said as he put the promise ring to her finger

The others can't help but to smile with them. They saw the continuation of love story of the two and they can't help but to be happy on them. From the cold fight because of what happend to them on the past to become lovey dovey to each other.

Sua look at her bestfriend and Luan. She remembered what happened to her and Luan. She sighed. Past is past. Hopefully, Luan will be loyal to Jia.

Gyeheon smiled to the Heiress. He knew that Jia deserve an happy ending. He was once like Jia but he knew that Jia always loves Luan. He didn't continue to pursue since he also still has a feelings for Yihyun. He hopes Jia will continue to love Luan.

"Jia has Luan...How about us?" Jessica can't help but to muttered

"Lets just wait for the right time" Hara said "I hope theres someone who can love me"

"It's me...I am the one that can love you" Andrew said and hold Hara's hand that made Hara blushes more

"Ehem lovebirds" Seungkwan coughed jokingly that made them laugh

"Yihyun..."Blue whispered that made Yihyun look at her. Ever since morning the two of them clings like they never seperate to each other that made Gyeheon will also goes to Yihyun left and clings to her sometimes

"Hmm"

'What is this color person need?' Gyeheon can't help but to thought

Blue stared at her and sighed, "Nothing, you are just pretty" he just said but the truth is he wanted to ask if Yihyun agreed to be a part on his life not as a friend but as a lover.

Gyeheon just scoffed

"So suddenly, Blue" Yihyun said and laugh, "You are really cute"

When Gyeheon heard this he rolled his eyes, 'I am more cuter than him tho'

Allisa just look at the three, instead of getting jealous, she was laughinllllllg in secret because of the expression that Gyeheon mades

"So..." Roh si looks at Jaewon

"Hmmm..."

Jaewon stared back at Roh si, "Do you remember that you ask earlier if you can trust Daniel?"

"Yes...Why?"

"Can I ask that do you also trust me?"

"Yes, I do... Honestly on this show you and Daehwan are the only that I could trust"

"Why? We just knew each other last last last weeks ago. What is the difference between me and him?"

Roh si sighed, "I also don't know but you are different. When you comforted me. When you hug me when we are just strangers. When you bought me ice cream. When you made me happy in small matter. When you dated me, it was just home... When I am with you, I feel so safe. I feel like that I am always be protected and take care of, when I am with you"

Jaewon can't help but to smile, "Thank you for trusting me but if one day if I would say that I like you, is it okay with you? Are you not going to be angry?"

"Do you like me, Jaewon?"

'Yes' Jaewon wanted to answer but he just said "It is just what if..."

Rohsi knew that he was lying but she just smiled, "I am not going to be angry if you like me, its fine with me but don't expect that I would answer you immidietly"

Hansol just leaned on Daehwan's shoulder while watching Jia and Luan's moment, "Can I get a proposal like this?"

"Do you want to be like this?"Daehwan's ask

"Not really the same like this but yeah almost similar" she said

Daehwan smile, "Okay then"

"But I want that person who would propose to me that he should not be confuse on his feelings to me and to my bestfriend"

On that Daehwan knew she was talking about him and it hurted him becase he also perceive that Hansol is in pain. He wanted to said sorry but no words came instead a tears flowing unto his eyes.

"Ehemm... I think its time for us to give gifts to each other, since its also christmas" Seungkwan said that made the others laugh and agreed

"You are right" Jaemi said

They began to give gifts to each other. After that they began to eat together. Hara can't believe on the friendship that they develop. It was a nice relationship that needed to be treasure off.

Junghyuk gave a usb that containing his album to Hansol. He also gave a matching bucket hat to Yunho, Woohyuk, Luan, Seungkwan, Jaewon, Sunwoo, Gyeheon, Daehwan and Seungcheol and matching bracelet to Sua.

"Omg this is so pretty, Hyuk. I like it" Junghyuk smile when he heard that Sua like it

Hansol smiled when she got the gift. The album that came from her first love. She muttered thank you to Junghyuk but he didn't notice it since he was busy focusing on Sua. She sighed....

Hansol gave a signed 5 star album from SKZ members and Astronomy theme journal to Daehwan. Matching earrings to all the girls and a camera to Junghyuk.

Daehwan smile when he receive the gift. He hug Hansol and she blushes so hard that made Roh si teases her. At least I have Daehwan but is he really into me...Hansol thought.

Xianhui gave matching playboy beanies to Hansol, Rohsi, Sua, Jia, Jaemi, Alice, Rohsi, Yeona, Yihyun, Yunho, Woohyuk, Luan, Seungkwan, Jaewon, Sunwoo, Gyeheon, Daehwan and Seungcheol and her favorite chinese and Korean snacks and Genesis album to everyone cuz why not?

Seungkwan gave signed seventeen album to everyone and matching specs to Xianhui. It looks like the ex couples are rule breakers because the album is not supposed to gave it everyone especially it is a signed album.

Roh si gave a white creamish bag with Keychain to Hansol, Xianhui a couple pair of teddy bear key chain and Sunwoo another couple pair teddy bear key chain. Don't mind her, she intended to brought couple pair so that the other one will be to their other half. She is playing cupid. But not only that she also send a coffee truck when they are going back to Seoul with some sweets for all of the contestants

Daehwan doesn't know what to give so he just gave one gift card to his best friend Jaewon, Jia, Woohyuk and Althea.

Hara gave a nintendo switch and bracelet to Andrew. A dress for date to Alice. And the last one is for the boy that she treated as little brother, it is Sunwoo, a polaroid camera

When Andrew saw the gift, he can't help but to hug Hara, "Thank you, I like it"

Hara blushes and hug him back. Woohyuk saw them and he just smile. Although they are not fine, he is happy that Hara is slowly healing and happy because of Andrew. "I'm happy that yoy are now slowly fine, Angel"

He look at his gift and he give it to Alice. When Alice open it, it was couple ring that made by Woohyuk itself. Alice was so shock that she didn't expect Woohyuk will give it to her, "A promise ring that whatever happends I will going to propose at you at the end of the show"

Alice can't help but to smile, "You don't need to propose because you already know my answer"

The others silently gave gifts to the one that they want to give. It was not disclosed by the camera on what they receive but one thing for sure is they are happy and that is the most important.
