"Yah, I really wanted to buy fish cake back there. Can we go back?", he asked.
"No, I really need to take a dump now. I'm going home.", I told him. He whined once again. I smiled secretly as I took light steps towards our house. I clutched on to my stomach, acting as if it really hurts. "Ughhhhh.", I groaned.
He sighed. "Ah, ppali. I'll open the door for you now."
"Eo, thanks."
When he opened the door, he was surprised by party poppers. "Happy Birthday!", everyone inside cheered. He smiled really widely.
"Happy Birthday, son.", dad said. He came home early just for this event. With mom by his side, they brought in the birthday cake.
"Aigoo, you don't have to prepare all this for me.", Soonyoung said, acting all shy.
Then, we all sang the birthday song for him and the boys gave him the "birthday slap" on the back. On one side, you can see MC Boo and MC Seok doing their job as hosts for this mini party while the rest of the boys are enjoying. There were a few other people here and there that I don't know of so I stood on one corner.
"Since when did you plan this?", the celebrant suddenly came towards me.
"What are you doing here? You should enjoy your party.", I said.
"Pfft. I enjoy almost everything else.", he said. "So, my question?"
"Well, I didn't plan this. Seungkwan and Seokmin did. I just helped."
"Hmm, so it wasn't your idea? You don't care for me that much?"
I punched his arm, then pouted. "Who said I don't care about you? Don't say those things."
He pinched my cheeks. "Aww, you're so cute when you pout~"
I touched my cheeks while feeling the pain he left on them. "Now, you're making fun of my face?"
"Tch, you know what, you're the one who should be having fun in this party." He took my hand and led me to the group just so I wouldn't look out of place in my own house.
It was getting late and there was school the next day, so everyone went home. It's actually past eleven o' clock. Soonyoung was in the bathroom so I was waiting for him. After he opened the door, revealing a still wet figure, I threw him his clothes.
"Change into those. Now." , I told him.
He had a confused look. "What, why? Aren't we suppose to be sleeping?"
"No, we're not." I pushed him back inside and closed the door. "You're coming with me somewhere."
"In this hour?", he said on the other side.
"In this hour.", I replied.
When he finished dressing up, I dragged him out of the bathroom. We tiptoed past mom and dad's room, then dashed out of the house.
We panted as we reach our destination. "What... what are we doing here?", he asked me, looking around the place.
"Somehow, I found that place we watched the sunset once.", I told him. "It was actually three streets away from our house. I'm glad I found it, though."
He smiled. "Yeah, I'm glad, too. What's all this?"
The place was lit up by, thankfully the wind didn't blow them, candles and a picnic basket was placed on a bench. "TADAH! Happy Birthday!", I said, plopping myself on the bench. I patted the seat beside me. "It's not much but I thought this is our way of celebrating it together. Just the two of us."
"Ew. I didn't know you could be so cheesy."
"I know right."
He sat beside me. I took out the sandwiches I made and handed him one. We munched on it while looking up at the starry sky.
"You know that thing I said earlier,", he said. "About you not caring much about me? Well, now I realize you actually do." He grinned. "Thanks."
"Yeah, well I only care about the people I find important.", I said.
"So I'm important to you?"
"Do I have to say it? You are. You're important." He giggled, then. "Well, you're only second to mom, but still."
"Ehh~ I don't mind. As long as I'm one of those people." He slipped his hand to mine. "'Cause you are an important person to me, too." He lifted my hand to his lips. We stayed silent after that and continued to watch the sky.
I looked down at my phone. 11:59 PM. I pouted. "Hey, we only have a minute left of your birthday. What should we do?", I said.
"Hmm, give me my present.", he said.
"What are you saying? This is your present."
"Boo~ I'm not satisfied."
"Well, I'm sorry for lacking creativity. I thought you'd be okay with this."
"Eh, it's not bad. I mean, you were the one who did all this."
"So, what do you want?"
"It's already here."
He took grab of my chin and lifted my face towards his. He smiled before leaning in. I closed my eyes, waiting for his lips.
Once we've parted, I looked back at my phone. 12:02 AM. "Oh, it's your birthday now.", he said.
"Oh. I'm eighteen now.", I said. "Wow."
"You're basically an adult now."
"I know."
"Wow."
I nodded. "Wow."
He laughed. "Happy Birthday, Miyoung."
I cracked a smile. "Funny, how our birthdays are right next to each other."
"Just like we are now."
"Pfft, yeah. Just like we are now.", I repeated.
"Hey, someone told me that when lovers' birthdays are close to each other, it means they're meant to be."
I gave him a confused look. "Where'd you hear that from?"
He looked elsewhere. "Someone...", he mumbled.
I lightly hit his chest. "You made that up just now."
He chuckled. "Well, it wouldn't be bad to believe it. I believe in it, do you?"
I chuckled and rested my head on his shoulder. "I do if you do."
"Hey, sit here, would ya?" He patted his lap.
"On your lap?"
"Yeah."
"But I'm heavy."
"Carrying you on my back is worse, and I've done that."
"So you do agree I'm heavy?"
"Better to be honest, right?"
I rolled my eyes at him. "At times like this, it's okay to lie."
"Oh, did I say you're heavy? I meant, you're light as a feather."
"Tch, whatever." I stood up to sit back down on his lap. He grunted when I did but acted as if he was coughing instead. I rolled my eyes once again.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder. "You're just like a giant pillow."
"Well, if that means I'm huggable, then that's okay."
"Why don't we continue where we left off?"
"To where?"
"Me kissing you, if you don't mind."
"I'm not complaining."
"Then, good.", he said before kissing my lips again.
