the delicious aroma filled in whole kitchen, and cooking food was looking mouthwatering----the sweet delicate baked cake was getting it's final touch from a certain brunette----

who was giving his everything to make someone special's day memorable in most simple way.

a satisfying smile appears on brunette's face when he finally done decorating the cake, wanting to make everything perfect he carefully put each and every food one by one in dinning table

everything was that special someone's favourite.

looking nervously, he glance at downstairs, biting his lip in anxiously he slightly brushed his beautiful black hair, tucking his lose hair behind his ear

soon the fast running footsteps can be heard, as someone claim down from stairs and walking straight towards the dinning table---

while his heart beat crazily the brunette glace up at the raven haired in anticipation who was staring at dinning table with a frowned

ravenette looked at different dishes front of him---as the baked cake cought his eyes--- a neatly written words cought his attention

happy birthday jeongguk.

Jeongguk clenched his fist before looking up at the brunette "and how many times I have to say this taehyung, I don't want you to do anything on my birthday?!"

"I didn't-t do much jeongguk" taehyung nervously stuttered "I didn't invite anyone nor I call dad or mom, just-t some dishes___"

"why?!" jeongguk rudely cut off him--- "it's not needed taehyung"

taehyung looked down as tears threatening to fall anytime "I---" his voice cracked in between, he felt a painful lump in throat "I'm-m sorry-y"

"don't-t worry I'll just-t" he tried to picked the cake---

"leave it, I'll eat something outside"

"but-- jeongguk wait-t" the ravenette already left leaving taehyung behind with sorrow and dull feeling

subconsciously a tear roll down from his beautiful eyes, as he gaze down at the untouched food

he quickly wipe his tears patting his face softly "it's okay-y taehyung it's okay at least you tried-d" he sniffles trying to smile

as he picked up the food, packing them to take all food to orphanage just like past three years----

"kids will be happy to see this" he murmured trying to assure himself, cheer up himself---

but his soaked eyes, painful lump in throat, the aching feeling inside say otherwise.

"so are you planning to go somewhere with taehyung?" hoseok asked with bright smile looking at his cousin

" No" jeongguk shortly replied not tearing his gaze away from the laptop

hoseok's smile immediately fall down as he look at jeongguk in disbelief "again? I can't believe you-----i fucking can't believe you!" he yelled in anger

"and how long you will take to move on ! how long you are going to take to finally accept this marriage?----"

"----i know it was a forced marriage but in the end you both are married, he is your responsibility"

" you won't understand hyung" jeongguk clenched his jaw looking away from hoseok

"yes, I can't understand! I can't understand you damn it! why you hate him?!"

"I don't!" jeongguk yelled furiously getting up from the chair "I don't hate him--- but his existence reminds me how my feelings was never considered, how my own parents never give importance to my emotions"

"---- they didn't even ask me before giving this responsibility to me, they didn't ask me if I am ready to accept it! and even after I protest they never listened"

jeongguk pants clenching his fist in anger---

"but what's taehyung's fault? why are letting your anger towards on your parents on taehyung?"

hoseok asked instead "okay you don't hate him, but do you care about him?"

jeongguk went silent, averting his eyes from hoseok

"say something jeongguk, do you care? about his feelings, his emotions? because I can't see you caring about anything"

hoseok disappointingly said to him--- "appreciate his care, his warmth, his feelings, his love for you---" he softly said twirling around to leave office cabin

but before he can leave he turn back again finding jeongguk in dazed

"jeongguk"

jeongguk looks up hearing his name, and hoseok's eyes softened

"I hope you appreciate him jeongguk, before it's get too late....."
