Chapter 34: birthday party pt. 1
"it's not that big of a problem. Just one more year and-" you were cut off by Yoongi patting your head and caressing it softly.
You turned to look at him. he was concerned about you but wasn't sure about how to show that. His soft touch made a tear escape your eyes unknowingly.
He saw it and backed off quickly, thinking that it wasn't a good move. This made the whole situation awkward.
"I-I'll pack some hot chocolate for others." you stuttered and stood up but just then he grabbed your wrist making you stop "don't" he said.
you turned to look at him in confusion "I didn't tell anyone that I was coming here." He added letting your hand go and scratching the back of his neck.
At that moment, you noticed his eyes, a unique shade of brown. That was somehow fascinating to you.
You didn't notice him blushing because of you intensely staring at him.
Yoongi was the kind who can't really make eye contacts. "I-I should get going" he spoke while standing up and left. "strange" you mumbled to yourself. You felt something wrong, something familiar but were unable to figure out what.
Next day, you went straight to Bighit after school. You started keeping an extra pair of cloths in your school bag. It was a relief that you didn't had to cover your scars anymore.
The members asked few questions about that, but you handled them saying that you fell off the stairs.
"Jiminie's?" Jin asked with his eyes going wide.
He was talking with Taehyung and Hoseok. "don't tell me that you forgot his birthday again." Taehyung sighed.
"Jimin's birthday?" you joined them. You couldn't help but overhear what they were talking about.
"ahh… y/n-" Hoseok smiled looking at you but his sentence was interfered by Taehyung's whining "hyunggggg, you did this last time too."
"it's not exactly my fault. That boy never celebrates, nor he allow us to do the same. It's natural that I forgot his birthday." Jin argued back.
"why?" you whispered to Hoseok as you didn't want to interfere taejin's argument. "ahhh… that kid. I still remember the first time we decided to throw a surprise birthday party for him. he told us not do that again and left without cutting the cake. Later we found out that he doesn't like to celebrate his birthday as it was the day when he lost someone special to him." Hoseok spoke with a concerned tone. "but still, every year, we try to talk to him and convince him. that kid is really stubborn." He added with a sigh.
You didn't hear the whole thing as you remembered that his birthday is on the same day you lost your parents. "let's do it" you spoke as a sad smile took its place on your face. "do what?" Taehyung asked, giving you a confused look.
"let's try giving him a surprise party." You chuckled.
After completing the dance practice, Jimin told others that he was going to the washroom. Passing by the main room he peeked inside "she's not here?" he pouted.
Returning back to the practice room, he found it totally empty. "where are the-, they left without me?" he sighed in disbelief when he saw his bag pack lying alone in the corner.
He picked up his bag, just then a voice caught his attention, making him turn around. You with cake in your hands and other members behind, entered the practice room, singing the birthday song as you all approached him. The hands of the clock were on 12 and it was pitch dark outside the building. The practice room was spacious indeed for only eight of you.
He dropped the bag where it was and looked at you. "happy birthday, Jimin" you smiled after the song ended.
He didn't reply and his expressions dropped. A wave of silence passed by all of you making the situation awkward.
"I told you he doesn't like this." Hoseok whispered to you. "let's go to the restroom and enjoy the cake by ourselves, before, he turns into a beast and throw it away" Taehyung whispered to you from the other side.
You smiled awkwardly in response. "I am sorry guys-" you whispered back but before you could finish your sentence, you were interfered by Jimin's voice.
"why are there only five candles?" he spoke. "huh?" a confused expression covered all of your faces.
"Ain't I 20 now? will five candles work? Should I blow them and make a wish?" he asked blankly pointing towards the candles.
You looked around to the members as a smile appeared on all of your faces. Taehyung ran to Jimin and hugged him tightly. The empty spaces of the room were filled with chaotic happiness.
It was really special for everyone present there, as the members were celebrating his birthday for the first time, you were part of someone's happiness after a long time, and for Jimin, he was celebrating his birthday after 9 whole years, coz, the someone special he had lost a long time ago, was with him on his special day.
With everyone singing and clapping around him, he smiled brightly as he sliced the cake with the knife in his hand. He couldn't stop giggling when other members painted his cheeks with the cream. He was really happy and you were happy seeing him like that, but for some reason he with others felt distanced.
A thin line was separating you from them and all the happiness.
"y/n" he called your name with a bright smile pulling you out of your thoughts which were trying to cloud your mind.
'let's not think about mom and dad right now, y/n' you found your smile fading and your hands trembling a bit.
"don't you want your piece?" Yoongi asked pointing to the last piece on the plate.
You wore another smile and walked to them as you knew that only crossing the line will take you to the side where there are people who consider you as the part of their life, where you are not alone.
"yaahhh... that piece is mine, don't look at it" you pouted reaching there which was soon followed by others laugh.
