Part 7: Happy Birthday, Jungkook.

Start from the beginning
                                        

He let his head hang low, and he nodded his head. "Wow, is this how you felt when your parents forgot about your birthday?"

She smiled, "yeah, but I remember them skyping me late at night to greet me."

"Well won't you look at the time." He rolled his eyes, "it's getting late, they're never going to greet me."

"Jungkook-ah, I'm pretty sure they remember that it's your birthday." She explained. "They probably just have so much work to do abroad that they can't find the time. But I'm sure they will find the time, you have seven hours left until your birthday is over. I'm sure they'll greet you, how can they not?"

Her phone buzzed just in time and she looked down, reading Jimin's message.

5:41 - they're here

5:41 - can you also record the whole thing for me? I'm not there and I wanna see his priceless face when he sees them there

"Oh! Just in time," she smiled, grabbing his hand once again. "Come on, let's go sight-seeing over there!"

(Jungkook's POV)

She brought me all the way to grand clock, and I was slowly getting tired of walking. It was getting a bit chilly near the ocean, but it was bearable. I followed her behind as she let me all the way in front of the clock that struck 5:50 pm.

"You know, Seoyeon-ah, my feet are starting to hurt-" I began until two people popped out from behind the grand clock.

"Happy birthday, Jungkook-ah!" My eyes widened to see my Mom and Dad coming around from the corner with a huge cake in their hands.

I looked towards Seoyeon who gave me a two thumbs up. She pulled me into a hug and wrapped her arms around my neck, "happy birthday, Jungkook."

I was at a loss for words at the sight of my own parents standing right in front of me. Then it hit me. It hit me really hard.

This explains the text my parents sent me this morning that never had a birthday messag with it.

3:13 - jungkook-ah, work hard today

This explains how Seoyeon got Jimin's number, who was the only one who had my parents' number in his contacts.

"How did you get his number?" I asked Seoyeon as she pursed her lips into a line.

"I got my own ways," she grinned.

Seoyeon planned all of this, for my birthday. She brought my parents from America, all the way to Korea just in time for my birthday. With the help of Jimin, of course.

"What-how did you-wow." I let out as Seoyeon giggled.

"You should go and blow that cake, or else the wind does it for you." She insisted, pushing me all the way towards my birthday cake. "Make a wish."

I closed my eyes, I wish I'll be that lucky guy who'll claim your heart, Seoyeon-ah.

I blew out the candles and my parents pulled me into a hug. Seoyeon took out her camera and snapped pictures in different angles.

"It's getting a bit chilly, isn't it?" Seoyeon asked, rubbing her bare arms. "Why don't we go over to your office to get settled?"

We reached the office and my parents couldn't help but walk into every single room that I had filled with all the pictures I've taken. Seoyeon ran towards the kitchen to make some coffee and tea for all of us while I caught up with my parents.
