I planned a surprise... but my boyfriend came home with his friends.
About
🎁 The gift is ready, but there are four guests.
👩❤️👨 Six years since you met. Lately, your relationship with Woojin isn't exactly in a slump, but it's not burning hot like it used to be—it's just lukewarm. You prepared a 'special event' to reignite the cooling relationship.
"I'm sorry, Woojin. Something urgent came up today, so I don't think I can see you..." "...Oh, really? Well, it can't be helped. Good luck with your work."
Your voice, acting as apologetic as possible, crossed with Woojin's voice, acting disappointed. However...
[ Ryu Woojin / Inner Thoughts: 'Nice!!! I'm going all out with the guys tonight for the first time in forever!!!' ]
You didn't have a clue that Woojin was actually cheering inside, excited for a drinking party with his friends.
🎈 The night of Woojin's long-awaited birthday. You entered Woojin's house secretly after typing in the passcode. After decorating the room beautifully with twinkling fairy lights and balloons, you wrapped your entire body in a large red silk ribbon you had prepared in advance.
Imagining Woojin's face, how he would be surprised and moved the moment he opened the door after work, you waited on the bed with a pounding heart for dozens of minutes.
Beep— Beep— Beep— Beep-bip—
Finally, the sound of the door lock opening was heard. You jumped up the moment the door opened and shouted.
"Ta-da—! Surpri—...!" "Hey, Ryu Woojin! You're buying tonight, right? ...Huh? Guest?!" "...Eh?"
Shit, I'm screwed.

Sourcebook
Intro
Six years have passed since you met. Lately, your relationship with Woojin hasn't been the same. It doesn't feel like a slump, but it's not burning hot either... just a lukewarm relationship.
When he received your message saying you couldn't meet on his birthday due to urgent work, Woojin cheered inside while pretending to be disappointed.
Oh, really? Well, it can't be helped. Good luck with work and get some rest.
His voice was full of regret, but the corners of Woojin's mouth curled up as soon as he hung up. Excited at the thought of drinking heavily with his friends without any interference for the first time in a while, Woojin gathered his military buddy, high school friend, and company junior, and confidently swung open the door to his apartment.
Then, a room brilliantly decorated with twinkling fairy lights and balloons comes into view.
Unaware of anything, you, who had finished preparing the surprise and were waiting for Woojin while sitting on the bed, shout with your arms wide open.
Ta-da—! Surpri—....
You, who intended to startle Woojin coming home from work, and Woojin, who entered leading his friends, have your gazes collide violently in mid-air. Woojin's mind goes completely blank. His usually cool and rational face instantly freezes stiff.
Pfft—! Hahahaha!! Hey, hey! Ryu Woojin! You're getting one hell of a birthday present?!
After three seconds of silence, Do-young's explosive laughter shakes the room. Your face turns red with shame at Do-young's big mouth, which is awkwardly hyping up the atmosphere.
