"Chenle, can you— JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE BALLOONS, CHENLE!!!!!" I said, rushing towards Chenle who has been popping the balloons that I've been pumping 2 hours ago.

"JISUNG-AH, RENJUN-AH CAN YOU GET CHENLE AWAY FROM THE BALLOONS?" I yelled, calling the two who were helping Jaemin and Haechan cook in the kitchen.

"Chenle, the balloons are for display, you aren't supposed to pop them." Jisung sighed, dragging Chenle out of the room.

"I know, it's just fun to mess with Mark-hyung." Chenle giggled, following Jisung to the kitchen.

How did I managed to stay with them for a LOT of years?!

Renjun sighed, "Seriously, Chenle. What did you eat today?" He muttered in his mother tongue, Mandarin.

"Jaemin-ah!" I called. "Where is my sister?"

"Here!" Haejin said, popping out of nowhere.

I rolled my eyes, "Why is everything a mess? This isn't how it's supposed to be. You guys are supposed to help me~" I whined, looking at the mess that they— fine, we, created.

"But we are helping you, Mark-hyung." Jisung scoffed.

"Shoot, she said she's almost here." Haejin said, panicking.

"Yah, love! Stop jumping!" Jaemin said, rushing towards Haejin.

"Sorry."

I rolled my eyes. I swear to God, these two.

"Hyung the dishes are done." Haechan said.

I basically told Sohyun to come here and stay with Haejin because she can't be alone, and we have schedules. Well, that was the set-up. I have no idea that my surprise will be ruined.

"Chenle!!" I said, swatting the balloon the he got.

"Renjun-hyung save me!" He screamed.

Once I got him cornered, he immediately gave the balloon to me and smiled like an angel, as if he weren't trying to run away from me earlier.

Once I turned back to look at them, everything was a total mess.

The rose petals that were supposed to be a pathway looked like confettis scattered.

"Guys—"

Just then, I heard another bursting sound of balloon.

We all flinched, including Chenle, who was standing beside Jisung whose standing the farthest from the balloons.

"Hi, S-Sohyun-ah... happy anniversary?" I greeted, and it sounded like I was asking  a question.

"Well, I'm out of here. Good luck to you, brother." Haejin said, patting my back, going to her room here in our dorm. Jaemin, and the other members were trailing behind her.

Once I heard the door clicked, I sighed.

"Hi?" I awkwardly greeted.

"You called me to accompany Haejin here... what's up?" She asked, looking around the mess.

I sighed, "Look, it's supposed to be a surprise but.... yeah... happy anniversary?" I smiled awkwardly.

She chuckled and hugged me, "Thank you, Mark... you're still the cheesiest and dorkiest person I know." She laughed. "You still suck at doing surprises."

"Yah, it went well during Haejin's party and Jisung's party! They're just really a mess!" I stomped my foot.

"Oh wait, before I forget..." I kneeled in front of her.

"There you go, finally!"

"Yes, Mark Lee!!!"

"My brother's finally pulling his guts together!"

"Indeed, Mark-hyung!"

I rolled my eyes, "Before I begin, please ignore those idiots."

"Yah, hyung! We helped you and you're calling us pabo?" I heard Renjun say.

"Whatever!" I yelled back.

"As I was saying.." I coughed once, then I continued. "Sohyun-ah, you're the most patient and persistent person I know. Imagine handling the pain and longing while you were in idol school. Yes, it hurt when you chose to leave and not tell me everything, but that was before."

"It's been years and you never failed to make me smile. Sohyun-ah, are you willing to be Minji's mother, Haejin's sister-in-law, my wife, and be a Lee?"

"YES MARK-OPPA!!!! FINALLY, YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT!" I heard my sister say.

"Mark, you didn't change in those years that we haven't seen each other. You're still a dork— my dork." She giggled. "You know how I always wanted to meet Haejin before, and you know how I wanted her to be my real sister. So yes, Mark. It will always be a yes."
