"I can't believe that you really thought we forgot you birthday, you shrew!" Hyejin yelled as we sat next to the kitchen counter, sipping on our cold drinks.

"Who said I thought that? I knew y'all were gonna surprise me or something." I protested.

"Well, your shocked expression when we came here said something else." She stated making me pout in defeat.

That was a great surprise. And thanks to them, it made my birthday the best one so far. I was so grateful that they cared about me so much and did all of this for me. Also, mom and dad were also in on this plan, as if the whole party thing wasn't enough for surprising me. They purposely went out the entire day and acted as if they'd forgotten my birthday. In return, they bought tons of gifts for me.

Jungkook had brought a stereo which blasted music loudly as people were grooving to it. These "people" included, some of my neighbors, some friends from music club, my parents, Jin, Yoongi and of course, Jungkook himself. Hyejin's parents had also come but they left pretty early.

So Hyejin and I had enough of dancing so here we were, eating chips, drinking juices and what not. We were also stuffing cake in our mouths. It was designed by Jungkook and Hyejin and it was beautiful by the way.

Suddenly I saw 2 familiar figures making their way towards us through the crowd making my heart skip a beat. They came closer, helping me identify them and ascertain that they were who I thought they were.

"Hey birthday girl," the chubby guy from the other day, Jimin, I assume, said.

I just gave him a confused smile and looked at Hyejin, who already had her lips curved up into a bitter sneer. Gosh, why does she dislike Jimin so much?

"Happy Birthday." the said guy greeted as he proffered his gift with a warm smile.

I accepted it with a quick thank you when Hyejin leaned a bit and whispered in my ear,

"I invited Taehyung only. Ugh, why is this dumbass accompanying him."

I eyed Taehyung and he was already staring at me. He looked stunning in all leather. Black shirt, black leather jacket and black leather jeans. Just wow. He also had a few silver chains lazily hanging around his neck. His hair was slicked back but still 2 or 3 strands fell on his forehead making him look even hotter. His lips, cherry red and plumper than ever, tempting me to devour them.

On the other hand, Jimin was looking pretty cool too. He had a navy blue turtle neck shirt on with a pair of blue jeans which had fancy accessories dangling from it.

"Oh hi Jimin! Glad you came!" Jungkook suddenly chimed in and gave me an "I invited him" look. The smile fell from his face once his gaze travelled to Taehyung.

"Hey Taehyung." He said, his voice lacking the previous cheerfulness. Jungkook glared at Hyejin, apparently because she was the one inviting him.

"Hey." Taehyung replied back, his voice soft and almost inaudible due to the music which boomed in my house.

"Thank you so much guys for the presence and presents. Please enjoy the party." I said, trying to lessen the awkward tension which was surrounding us.

Jimin nodded avidly as he grabbed Hyejin and Jungkook's wrists and dragged them back into the dancing crowd.

I quietly sipped on my drink after realising that it was just Taehyung and I now. He slowly sat on the chair next to me, which had been occupied by Hyejin formerly, and got himself a drink. I tried to ignore him with all my might but his intense gaze on me made it almost impossible.

"Been a while, innit?" He said, his voice gruff and more masculine.

I nodded shortly and quickly looked in a different direction. I kept on sipping on my drink to keep myself occupied. I almost choked on it after hearing what he said next,
