Part 16 | Happy Birthday

Y/n's perspective :

Well, today's my birthday. Happy birthday to me. I don't know why, but my mom made me where this navy blue short frock. I've never worn something like this for my birthday. I just go casually to school, come back and celebrate at home. I mean, it's cute, but people are definitely going to stare at me if I wear this. Okay, don't overthink, you are wearing this just for your mom. Okay? Okay.

My mom help me with a little make up and hair. I was about to wear my glasses. But, she stops me and gives me contact lenses.

"Mom, why these? My glasses are okay."

"Nope. Just wear these lenses."

"But, why mom?"

"Listen, you're growing up. You're 18 now. You're no longer a kid. You need to learn these things. You're changing into a woman, and women need to learn these things, like dressing up, looking good, etc."

"Um, okay mom. But, I just like being simple and natural."

"Yeah, I know. You just learn these for some important occasions, like birthdays, etc. Trust me, these will be useful. You'll thank me later."
She winks at me.

"Haha, okay mom. I will learn. Thanks for the dress, by the way. Its beautiful."

"Anything for my sweetheart. Now, go and enjoy your day."

My mom drops me at the school. People start staring at me as soon as I get down the car. I just put my head down and start walking towards my class. A hand suddenly grabs my wrist and I turn around to see Jimin.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEST FRIEND!!!!" He shouts so loud and hugs me tight.

"Hey, thanks. I didn't know that you knew." I reply.

"Shut up, I'm still mad at you for not telling me before hand. But, since it's your birthday, I'm forgiving you."

"Haha, I'm sorry Jimin. It's just.. I didn't feel it's that important to tell someone. I just don't celebrate it every year. But, this year, my mom made me do this."

"Well, guess, who gave this idea to your mom?"

"Wait, you did that?"

"Well, kind of. The idea is not mine though. Look at him, he gave me the idea." He point out to someone behind me.

"Yoo... Yoongi?"

Whoa wait- why's he in BLACK HAIR? I can't believe it. Wow. He look so good. He's the one who gave this idea about the dress? I really can't believe it.

I stare at him for a while and so does he.

Wait- why's he staring at me? Do I look that weird? Oh no.

"Hap.. Happy birthday y/n." He says.

"Um, thank you. What's with that black hair?"

"Oh, you noticed. Well, I just want to try something new for the talent fest."

"But, there's a lot of time left for it." Jimin says, smiling.

"So? I just felt like doing it." He replies.

"Anyways, where's the party?" He adds.

"Um, yeah, we do have a party at my home in the evening. You are invited." I say.

"Well, good." He replies and gives me a look. A look, that is.. so endearing?

I suddenly watch people staring at me. I feel so uncomfortable.

"Come on, these people are staring, let's just go somewhere else." Yoongi says, as if he read my mind.

Yoongi's Perspective :

I've come early to school today, beacuse it's her birthday. I'm standing in the hallway and see Jimin talking to a girl. He suddenly points out to me. The girl turns around and that's.. Y/n.

Oh my god. That's her? I can't believe it. She... she look so beautiful. She's not wearing her glasses. Wow, this is the first time, I'm seeing her wear a short frock. Wait, I should stop staring at her or else it'll be awkward.

"Hap.. Happy birthday y/n." I say.

Don't stumble idiot!

"Um, thank you. What's with that black hair?" She asks me.

"Oh, you noticed. Well, I just want to try something new for the talent fest."

"But, there's a lot of time left for it." Jimin says, teasingly.

Oh boy! Jimin can't you just shut up?

"So? I just felt like doing it." I say, trying to act normal.

"Anyways, where's the party?" I ask her.

"Um, yeah, we do have a party at my home in the evening. You are invited." She says.

"Well, good." I reply.

I just can't take my eyes off her. She looks stellar in that dress. Like. Wow. Another devasting fact is she didn't wear her glasses, so now, I can clearly see her round cheeks and her eyes. Yes. Those eyes...

By her face, I can say that she is uncomfortable of people staring at her.

"Come on, these people are staring, let's just go somewhere." I say.

We go to the terrace and as planned, Jungkook steps infront of her as soon as we reached the terrace.

"Happy- Oh!" Jungkook says.

Why's this guy staring at her like that? I mean.. of course she's pretty, but that doesn't mean he can stare at her. HE CAN'T DO THAT!

"Oh, hey Jungkook." She says.

"Um, hey. Happy birthday." He says.

"Oh, hey, thanks. How'd you know?"

"Your friends told. Now, close those eyes of yours. There's a surprise."

He closes her eyes and brings her towards the table we've arranged. By the time, she opens her eyes, Jimin and me stand with balloons in our hands.

"Surprise!" We three boys shout all at once.

"Oh my god! Thank you so much. But, you don't need to-" I cut her off, saying, "Shut up and cut the cake."

I hand over the plastic knife to her as she smiles at me showing her zig zag teeth.

Cute. What? No. I mean.. yeah.. I have to agree. It's really cute.

She cuts the cake, as we sing the birthday song.

"Wow. Thank you guys. This really means so much. I can't thank you enough for doing all this." She says.

"Are you going to make us cry?" Jimin sheds a fake tear.

"Haha. No worries. You're our friend. This is the least we can do for you." Jungkook says.

"Let's take some pictures first." Jimin says.

We take some pictures and then clear that set up and go back to the hallway.

The talent fest's practice starts from today. Today, the members who are participating in the fest should not go to their classes, but stay and help in arranging things for the practice. So, all four of us are going to stay. Jungkook and Jimin are going to be together because they're in the same club. I should stick with y/n for the whole day.

Man, I can't do this. If I be with her, then I'll probably keep staring at her. It'll be more awkward. What do I do now?

"Yoongi, music club members are assigned to clean up the gym area." She says, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, okay." I say.

"Could you please explain me, what's going on. Why should we clean that area?" She asks.

"Um, probably because, that is where the music students practice for the fest every year."

"Oh! Okay. But, why aren't we practicing in the piano practice room?"

"Because, there's no enough space for all the students to practice there."

"Oooh.. I see." She blink her eyes, with realisation.

Her eyes are so tiny. I've never seen them so clearly because of her glasses. But no. I'm not falling for that.

All the music students go to the gym area and start working. We clear all the gym equipments and start cleaning it.

"Ugh, I shouldn't have wore this frock. It's getting dirty. I should've brought extra clothes." She whines to herself.

"Oyy, wait, you don't touch that mess. I'll clean it up. You just go and help with putting those things up."

"Um, but.. Jonas and his friends are already doing it."

"So? It would be helpful, if you also go and join them right?"

"I know.. but.. I.. I want to be with you."

What? With me?

"Huh? Why?"

"It's just.. everybody hates me and they would definitely reject my help. I'd rather stick with you and do anything, than go and work with people who hate me." She says with her eyebrows furrowed.

Offo. Stop blushing Yoongi, stop blushing. You can't do that!

"Um... okay then. Let's do one thing. I'll clean and give you these things, just place them in their positions. Okay?"

"Okay." She gives an exciting smile. I smile at myself.

We work together until lunch. Jimin joins us and we sit and eat in the gym area. She gives us these special sweets her home made today. They are indeed tasty. After lunch, we get back to work again. I can't help but stare at her all day. Everything she does is so tiny, just like her. She catch me staring at her, and she asks me, "Yoongi.. Do I.. do I look that weird today?"

"What..? No. Not at all. Why you asking like that?"

"I've seen you staring at me many times. You are probably doing that because I look weird today."

She's such a dumb head. She thinks I'm staring at her because she look weird? No dummy! I'm starting at you because you look too good today. I can't take my eyes off you! WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

"Why you thinking like that? It's not what you think. You don't look weird today."

"Then, why're you staring like that?"

I'M DONE! I'M TELLING YOU!

"Ugh! It's nothing.. It's just you look different today. You look.. pretty. That's all."

She looks shocked and blinks at me.

Oh man, I messed up.

"Re-really?"

"Why you asking twice? I say only once."

I don't even look at her during this whole conversation. Now, I look at her face and see her smiling.

Wait- she's smiling? So, I didn't mess up? Haha.. I didn't mess up. Thank god!

This part is really lengthy, but I guess, it's worth it. Look at our tiny Yoongi blushing inside. UwU.
