Chapter 12: A Surprise Birthday

"That's right!" She exclaimed. "I forgot you weren't an officer in student council."

"You're so smart!" I sarcastically praised her.

"Shut up." She bashfully said. "I just assumed you were since you're like in everything I am in."

"Sure, whatever." I said, smiling at her. "Go have fun at your mandatory meeting."

"Yeah," she sighed. "I'm gonna have so much fun." I smiled at her as she proceeded to get out and have her mandatory student council meeting. I saw Lucas' girlfriend as well as Jungwoo at a booth since they were officers as well. I started to play around with my drink when the lights began to dim.

"Happy birthday to you~" I saw Jaemin come out of the bathroom holding a cake with candles. I saw the student council officers stand up and join him. "Happy birthday to you~"

"What's going on?" I asked, bewildered at the occasion. I saw the employees start to gather around Jaemin, some of which eyed the cake in case it dropped. They arrived at my booth.

"Happy birthday dear Jieun~" Everyone sang. "Happy birthday to you~"

"I don't know what to say..." I trailed off. I checked my phone. The date wasn't wrong, it was my birthday.

"Blow out the candles!" I heard Jinyoung scream. "And wish for a boyfriend!"

"Happy birthday, JIeun." Jaemin smiled. "You should probably follow your friend's advice because my arms are hurting."

"Alright," I sighed, rolling my eyes. I closed my eyes and blew out the candles. I could hear the cheers of my friends as the candles went out. In front of me, Jaemin smiled, giving off an eye smile as well.

I could feel my heart racing and face heating up once I saw that smile. It was different for some reason in that moment.

"You seriously had to hold a fake student council officer meeting just so you could surprise me?" I raised an eyebrow at Lucas.

"Well, it was the only way to make it not seem obvious." Lucas shrugged. "Thank god Jaemin and Jeno were down with this plan."

"Anything to support a ship." Jeno smiled.

"For the last time, we're not dating!" Jaemin and I said.

"Aww, you two are even in sync with each other." Jinyoung cooed. Jeno checked his watch before speaking up.

"I also invited some other friends because they were also supportive of this relationship." He said, eyeing the door. "I think I see them."

Everyone's eyes turned to the door where we saw Jaemin's group of friends enter. They came in bearing gifts, and their eyes lit up once they saw me. Mark was the first to speak up.

"Happy birthday, Jieun!" He handed me my present.

"Thanks!" I took the present and placed it in front of me on the table.

"You know, it's funny." Donghyuck said. "Your birthday is right in the middle of Chenle and Jisung's birthday."

"Who's Jisung?" I asked. They pointed at a little kid who looked like a middle schooler.

"So, are you two a thing now?" Mark pointed at Jaemin and I.

"Why does everyone ask that?" I complained. "We're just friends."

"That's what they all say." Donghyuck snorted, sitting down next to Mark, making Jaemin's side really squished. Renjun squished himself next to Donghyuck while Chenle and Jisung chose to sit next to Jungwoo on our side, squishing me closer to the window.
