Its the 29th of November.
Jo decided to buy flowers for Li as a birthday gift for her. He went to the flower shop to buy cherry scented roses. After he went out and prepared his birthday gift for his best friend, he encountered another person destroying the city and he haven't done his job yet, luckily, it's just a few now then he can finally meet Li.
While Li's parents decided to let her invite her friends to the party, she suggested that if she could throw a party in the swimming pool on their rooftop. Nicky prepared the food and her birthday cakes and cupcakes. Meanwhile Greg is the one who decorated the balcony. Her parents invited her sister and their son-in-law to Li's birthday party.
After the preparation, Li's friends arrived on time but unfortunately, her best friend couldn't attend the party because he has more important things to do. But however, he might go there late if he's already done with his duties.
While they are having fun celebrating Li's 17th birthday, jo decided to flee into Li's rooftop when he is done saving the city for the 1 trillionth time. He could've fooled Li and she would think that she is torn between two boys until she could've find out that those two persons who fell in love with her are basically the same person. She could've screamed her heart out of joy when she finds out who is really darklight. But at the same time she would get slightly mad because he fooled her.
Jo actually fled to the rooftop and gave her a bouquet of roses he bought for her. Li went out of the pool and her eyes widened. She didn't expect dark would give her roses meanwhile her friends are screaming right now when they saw him giving the roses to her.
"I'm… I d-did not expect this to h-happen…" Li stuttered and she was surprised why did darklight gave her roses. "Um… t-thank you s-so much…" she thanked him and she was scratching her head and she is blushing slightly.
"Oh um… you're truly welcome. And by the way, doctor guadalupe wants you to read this… letter…" jo handed the letter to her and he is smirking but li can't see him smirk because his face is covered and she couldn't say that it was jo who delivered the letter to Li.
"Dear Lina, Happy birthday to you lovely princess and my future bride! Today is your very special day and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day! Thank you for inviting me to your birthday party but unfortunately, I have so many things to keep an eye on and to focus. But I would come there once I'm finished. Have a great day bestie! - jo totally. ;))"
"Oh… I hope he's doing fine.." Li replied "and uh… thank you again for the flowers… even if you give it to me right infront of my friends who are screaming at us right now…" she chuckled and blushed. "Anyway, if you wouldn't mind then you can… uh.. join us?"
Jo refused and felt awkward for Li. "No thanks, I'm still busy fighting.. uhm, those little shits who are destroying the city nonstop. But don't ruin your day, just enjoy the rest of it." Jo told her "well, I gotta go now. See you!" He fled away from the rooftop.
"Ayieeeeeeeee!" "Oh my gosh! Darklight is giving her roses on Li's birthday??" "I can't imagine a superhero giving a gift for a princess!" "Li. Are we invited to your wedding with dark?" "Damn girl! This dark silver suit dude has a crush on you!" Her friends started joking her around.
"Oh heck no stop. He is just my friend okay? I have a crush on him… but that'll only happen in your dreams" Li replied with a disdained face.
"You have a crush on him???" Daisy and kat replied.
"Shut up I don't have any crush not on a single superhero, not even dark who gave me flowers" Li is annoyed.
"Enough! Don't try to ruin Li's birthday! Just stop the two of you please?" Ryza replied to them.
"Oh sorry!" Daisy replied.
After the party ended, li couldn't sleep because she couldn't forget the fact that dark gave her a bouquet of roses. Until now, she would roll over the bed.
"Honey? Is everything alright? Why you couldn't sleep?" Nicky asked her.
"M-mom.. I don't know why. A superhero gave me a bouquet of roses on my birthday. And I couldn't forget about it. It feels-"
"Wait really?" She exclaimed as she heard what Li said. "It seems like that guy has a crush on you"
"Mom! I don't okay? I don't even find them attractive anyways."

The next day…
Li was suspicious why didn't jo came to her birthday party, she knows he's probably busy but she was noticing something that… she saw the familiar watch that dark was wearing. He uses his right hand where his watch is located. She has a strange feeling that jo would wear long sleeves to hide his watch but she can still clearly see it. She is familiar with the voice she was hearing. And when she surfed on the net, rumors are saying that darklight's identity has been revealed and people start theorizing who is really him. It could be her best friend.
…
Jo has been acting so erratic lately. He is afraid, when he surfed onto the net, after he tries to defeat a villain but unfortunately, that person took off his helmet and anybody can see his face.
He has been overthinking and doesn't know what to do next. He could've locked it next time with some advanced technology.
"Ehem" a female voice called out.
"Li?! W-what did I-"
"People found out who you are really are… is it true that…"
"W-what do you m-mean?!" Jo was panicked and he's afraid Li might be one of the people who knows his identity.
"Well.. I'm really sorry if I could tell you this painful truth but… I know… you are darklight."
