Elina introduced Kai to her friends. Smiling brightly, she accepted the gift Kai handed her.
Opening it, she gasped.
"Oh, Kai, you remembered my favorite perfume!"
Kai chuckled softly. "You once mentioned the brand... I just remembered."
Elina threw her arms around him in a warm hug.
At a nearby table, a boy sat quietly, his gaze never leaving Kai.
Kai gently pulled away from Elina, smiling awkwardly. "Let's cut the cake," he said.
The music got louder, and everyone gathered around.
Elina cut the cake while everyone cheered, "Bottoms up for Elina! Today, you're the star!"
Laughing, Elina poured a glass of whisky — but secretly slipped something into Kai's drink.
She handed him the glass.
"Kai, come on, just one drink! For me!"
Kai hesitated. "I really shouldn't... I make trouble when I'm drunk."
"It's just one," she insisted, pouting playfully.
Finally, Kai gave in. They all clinked glasses and shouted, "Bottoms up!"
