kirei’s birthday vlive

stray kids 9th member au,, m.list

kirei has been so distracted by everything happening around her that she hasn’t had the time to reflect, let alone think about her birthday. only a vlive with her members and with stays will cheer her up and bring her out of her gloomy state.

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

december 10th 2019, a day that seemed to have come to soon for kirei. her twenty first birthday. she had been so distracted by everything happening around her and the group that it all appeared to fly by so fast.

and soon enough she was sitting in the jyp office early in the morning, waiting for the staff to signal that they were live. she was seated at the end, centre of the table between seungmin and changbin.

the members were all very distracted, lost in their own small conversations as they waited to begin the live. kirei, however, was just quiet. she had been looking forward to her birthday for months, yet now that it was her big day she didn’t seem to be in that same state of mind. she wished that she could be happier at this very moment.

seungmin did not let kirei’s demure appearance slide and reasurringly placed a hand on her shoulder, snapping her out of her thoughts.

“today’s your big day, what’s got you looking all miserable?”

the despondent girl looked at him and shook her head, letting him know it was nothing too important.

“nothing in particular, it’s a mix of everything i guess. it’s all going by so fast that i just haven’t had the time to stop and think about it all, today has just snapped me out of it and finally got me thinking.”

seungmin did not move his hand of her shoulder, instead grabbing her other and pulling her into a hug which kirei gladly reciprocated.

the staff soon interupted the multiple convorsations flooding the room, giving a warning that they would be pressing the ‘live’ button in less than thirty seconds.

depsite feeling a bit down, kirei was excited to go live. she hadn’t really communicated with stays in a while, not even posting on the official instagram, so she was looking forward to reading their comments.

“and three, two, one”

the staff stepped away from the camera, and leaving the office. they would only return to tell them when to end the live, leaving only stray kids and the stays.

“hello!”

the greeting was loud, synchronised and filled with excitement from all nine members. the others, they too had clearly missed stays as much as she had.

“yes, so today we are live to celebrate a very special occasion”

chan took the lead while the members nodded along to his statement, their eyes later averting to kirei’s figure in the middle.

“as you may know, today is our kirei’s twenty first birthday.”

the members all clapped and started celebrating, yelling out random gibberish that was practically inaudible to kirei. she could only laugh at them. changbin, who was sitting to her right, grabbed her shoulders and started to shake her as he celebrated. it was very chaotic to say the least.

kirei had been so distracted by the chaotic nature surrounding her that she hadn’t even noticed jisung leave and come back with a cake. it was only when the lights dimmed that she finally took notice of him, standing behind her with a lit cake at hand.

the sight of seeing the people closest to her, singing to her the iconic birthday song was enough to warm her heart and forget about everything on her mind. she would treasure moments like these forever. as the song came to an end, chaos made a return as the members continued to yell and celebrate as kirei blew out the candles.

“what did you wish for?”

minho asked her curiously. in all seriousness, kirei had forgotten to make a wish. she blew it off, there’d be more birthday wishes in the future. the lights turned back on.

“minho hyung you can’t ask that! it won’t come true if she tells you”

hyunjin had slapped minho’s shoulder playfully, who proceeded to jokingly wince in pain.

“i wished you would dissappear oppa”

it was kirei’s turn to joke. minho pretended to cry as the members laughed and made fun of him. kirei tried keeping a straight face but ultimately failed.

“i’m joking, i love you!”

kirei said this, well yelled, while making a heart shape with her fingers and directing it at minho. in response to her gesture he winked at her, earning laughter from the others. chan was quick to move on.

“so kirei! what are your goals as a twenty one year old?”

the members all looked at her curiously. she expected one of them to make a funny comment, but none did. she smiled at the fact that they were all being nice to her because it was her birthday, knowing very well that on any other day they’d all be joking around.

kirei didn’t have to think long about her answer to chan’s question, even though she had never really thought about it before.

“i’d like to be a bit more positive about bad situations that happen in my life. i think i let it all get to me this year that i didn’t have time to enjoy all the good things that happened. so, i want to have a more positive mindset and tell myself that everything is okay and will all get better.”

the members looked at her in awe, letting out 'oh’ sounds. they seemed surprised at how she opened up like that on a live, or perhaps at how 'cool’ her answer sounded.

“woah kirei that was an aweseome answer.”

the members clapped again, making kirei feel slightly embarassed. however she quickly moved on and grabbed the phone placed on the table, which had been playing the live.

she carefully read the comments as they popped up on the side of the screen, smiling at all the birthday wishes the fans were sending her.

“thank you stays for the kind comments. i know that it’s still early, it’s 8am woah! you guys are probably on your way to school or work, so i hope you all enjoy your day.”

kirei said while staring at the camera in front of them with a big grin on her face. hyunjin proceeded to read a comment.

“my day is already great now that i’ve seen your pretty face kirei noona”

all of the boys all cringed out loud as hyunjin read the comment, which had clearly been left by a high school boy. kirei laughed and thanked whoever had written the comment.

“right! kirei doesn’t know this but we’ve all brought our birthday gifts for her here, and she is opening them on the live.”

chan exclaimes and the members, again, began to cheer while kirei sat in her seat confused. she had clearly not expected this, she thought they would wait till later on in their day once they had finished the asc shoot. but she couldn’t help but smile at their dorkiness.

“i want to go first! ah my gift is so great it’ll be hard to beat”

jeongin seemed extremely excited as he raced out of his chair and towards a corner of the room, where kirei assumed the boys had left their gifts. he ran back to his seat even more energetically than when he had left it, which kirei didn’t think would have been possible. the young boy handed her a medium sized box, which kirei smiled at.

she shook the parcel, but no sound was heard from the interior. curious as to what it could be, kirei opened up the box and was surprised at the sight of a small envelope.

“jeongin-ah, was this really necessary?”

she exclaimed as she grabbed the envelope from the bottom of the box, earning laughs from the other boys. after moving the box off the table she carefully opened the envelope, which revealed a folded piece o paper. she took it out with a visibly confused expression plastered onto her face.

“what is this?”

the members continued to laugh at her facial expressions, she was holding the paper as if it was a bomb.

“ah noona just open it!”

kirei did what jeongin instructed, unfolding the piece of paper and reading its contents. her face quickly changed as she read the sheet. it was a plane ticket to gold coast, her hometown in australia. her hometown that she hadn’t been to in seven years. kirei covered her mouth with her hand after dropping the piece of paper onto the table.

the members curiously looked at the sheet as seungmin grabbed a hold of it. he read out its contents as the others looked surpised and started clapping for the youngest. kirei quickly stood up to hug jeongin who had been standing behind her the entire time. the boy excitedly hugged back.

“jeongin that is so thoughtful!”

exclaimed hyunjin. the members all agreed and kirei seemed extremely happy. there were no tears though, as she didn’t cry very often.

“thank you innie, i haven’t been to my hometown in seven years so this really means a lot.”

the boys quickly moved on as they realised that they did not have much time left, because they has a shoot quite soon.

“alright me next!”

changbin yelled as he handed kirei his wrapped gift. the girl excitedly opened up the wrapping paper and was delighted when she saw that he has gifted her a coloring book.

“woah! i was just thinking about how i wanted one of these, thank you binnie”

hyunjin was next to give kirei her gift. he handed her a box which kirei gladly opened. she reached for the object inside and pulled out a polaroid camera. she looked at it, clearly excited, and proceeded to thank hyunjin.

“i know that you like polaroids yet you don’t have one, so i bought you one”

kirei thanked him again before being handed a bag by minho. she looked at him suspisciously, knowing that if anyone would give her a strange gift it would be him. however, as she peered into the bag she couldn’t help but laugh out loud and close it up. the members looked at her in confusion.

seungmin quickly peered into the bag and smiled at minho, trying to hold back his laughter.

“sorry stays but i don’t think we are allowed to show this on the live”

the other members gathered around the back, taking turns looking into it and each laughing afterwards. they wouldn’t tell the fans exactly what it was, but they all found it hilarious that minho had chosen to buy her five full bottles of vodka.

“yeah, i didn’t realise we would be opening these on the vlive”

minho stated while scratching the back of his neck. meanwhile the fans were going crazy in the comments, continuously spamming asking to know what the gift was. maybe one day they would tell them.

“kirei open my gift now!”

jisung impatiently said as he too handed her a bag. kirei once again carefully examined the bag, knowing that the last bag contained five litres of alcohol. however she knew jisung wouldn’t gift her that and opened up the bag. a smile creeped its way onto her face as she pulled out a beautiful notebook with her named written on it.

“i noticed you were running out of space on your other one so i got you a new notebook, and it was custom made too!”

kirei gave jisung a big hug and thanked him. she tended to write down all of her lyrics into her notebooks, which ended up quite messy and ruined. however seeing how pretty this one was, kirei felt the need to take special care of it. felix was next to give kirei his gift, also handing her a bag.

“another bag? this better be better than minho oppa’s gift.”

the members laughed at her comment. kirei reached into the bag and grabbed whatever was inside. she stared at the book she was holding, which read 'please look after mom’ on the cover. she smiled and thanked felix.

“oh lix thank you so much! i’ve been wanting to read this for a while now.”

he high fived her, feeling satisfied with her reaction to his present. seungmin then handed kirei what looked like a photo album. she curiously looked at the front of it, then at seungmin who signaled her to open it up. kirei did as she was told and opened up the album to its first page.

she smiled. it was an album filled with pictures of kirei, as well as her and the members or her friends. she noticed that all the pictures had been taken by seungmin himself.

“seungmin-ah this is so cute! i love it a lot, thank you.”

kirei continued to flick through the album as she said this. there were quite a lot of photos, some dating from their group trainee days till last month. it was a thoughtful idea that kirei loved.

“i went through all of my pictures and picked out the ones of you, as well as some of us and got them developed for this album. i wanted it to be a thoughtful gift”

kirei hugged him before putting the album away, reminding herself to take the time to properly go through it. chan was the only member left. he handed kirei a big enough box which surprised her.

“channie, what is this? it looks big”

the boy grinned at her. kirei squinted her eyes at him before opening up the large box. she let out a sound of awe as her eyes fixed the beautiful record player inside of the box.

“this beautiful chan! i love it.”

she went up to him and gave him a big hug.

“i also got you some records from your favorite artists”

this would have to be one of kirei’s favorite gifts she had ever recieved. she had always wanted a record player but never found the time or opportunity to get one. kirei regained her spot at the centre and the members prepared to end the live. chan would be the one giving the closing statement.

“alright stays! we hope you enjoyed celebrating kirei’s birthday with us, sorry we can’t stay longer but we have a shoot very soon so we must go.”

kirei quickly added onto chan’s statement.

“oh, and don’t forget to watch our new music video and to listen to the levanter album!”

the members laughed and all waved at the camera, saying goodbye in synch.

“bye!”

the staff, who had reentered the room not long before, ended the live and the members quickly began to get their things together to head to the after school club shoot.

as kirei was packing her bag she felt her phone buzz in her back pocket. turning it on, she couldn’t help but smile as she read her message notification.

💙💙 : happy birthday sunshine, i love you.
