After 5 years later

"Mellow, where are you? We're going to be late!"

Mellow went to the front door while carrying his cat, Paste.

"What are you rushing for? It's just a party", he said while putting Paste down.

The fourteen year old boy who was standing in front of Mellow grabbed his shoes for him.

"It's not just a party, it's your birthday party! Come on!", he said.

Mellow put his shoes on and the two of them drove to Iory's house.

"Rem! Mellow! There you two are! Come on, the cake is here!", Iory greeted and led them to his backyard.

A lot of people welcomed them and wished Mellow a happy birthday. After cutting the cake, they gave lots of presents to Mellow. When the party ended, Mellow and Rem stayed at Iory's for lunch and went back home in the evening.

"Tea?", asked Mellow while holding two cups of tea.

"Sure", Rem replied. They drank their tea while enjoying the icy wind.

"Um.. Mellow.. here" , Rem said gently while handing Mellow a small black box.

"It's your birthday present. I'm sorry if it's too simple"

Mellow opened the box and saw a silver ring. Rem watched Mellow as he picked the ring and insert it over his fourth finger on his left hand.

"Do you like it?", Rem asked. Mellow took another sip of his tea before answering.

"I love it, thank you", he responded with a smile. Rem sighed in relief.

"Although, I do feel like I'm being proposed to", Mellow chuckled.

Rem formed a smile and said, "feel free to assume it that way".

Mellow laughed after hearing Rem. "Seems like I'm no longer available", said Mellow. Rem chuckled in reply.

"Happy birthday, Mellow"
