[ Backdated to Haru's birthday. ]

Hibiki, you are a fool.

[ ??? ]

What do you want?

[ !?! ]

[secrowtary]

[ S a v a g e ]

An explanation would be greatly appreciated. What is the matter, Jumin-san?

[yancat]

I was informed that your birthday has passed. You never bothered to tell me.

[secrowtary]

[ Rest in pieces, Hibiki ]

I don't consider my birthday to be so important, actually. I'm sorry, though.

[ Jumin seems to be offended, he can see that much. ]

[yancat]

No, that's true. In the grander scheme of things, they're only commercialized celebrations of our birth when they only serve to mark your age, nothing more.

But I still want to get you something. My present is inexcusably overdue.

[secrowtary]

Well put. Why are we celebrating becoming older in the first place, I wonder.

[ Is this really something to be happy about ]

I'll accept your overdue gift, Jumin-san. On one condition.

[ If he thought this is gonna be easy!! Okay, it's gonna be. ]

I'd like to know when is your birthday.

[yancat]

[ He doesn't like telling people such trivial details about him but if he must, then there's no point in delay. ]

October 5th.

[secrowtary]

That means I missed your birthday as well.

[ Jumin might not have been around but it doesn't matter!! ]

[yancat]

Yes, but I have no need for materia—

[Nevermind, he's poor.]

I have... little need for material things. You needn't trouble yourself. A greeting will suffice.

[secrowtary]

I needn't, that's true. [ A chuckle. ] I want to, though.

[ No one can stop him, not even you, Jumin. ]

I hope I can satisfy your little needs. Something is telling me that it might not be as easy.

[ Now he's just teasing. ]

[yancat]

I don't need as much as you think I do. I trust you.

[He's not teasing.]

Silver, space gray, gold, or rose gold?

[secrowtary]

I'll keep that in mind.

[ Not really, but Jumin doesn't have to know everything??? ]

Excuse me? [ ... ] Space...gray?

[yancat]

It's a dark gray. Compared to silver, you might even call it black. Which do you prefer?

[secrowtary]

Space grey, definitely. But...what is this about, Jumin-san?

[ Apart from colors that is. ]

[yancat]

A secret.

You'll find out tomorrow.

[He already has Haru pencilled in for today, after all!]

I should go. I have an appointment in half an hour.

[secrowtary]

Have a good day in that case, I didn't mean to take up too much of your time.

[ He's going to think about this space gray secret for a little while longer...what could it mean... ]
