Amy's POV

Almost three months had flown by since Taehyung and I met, and we both had been extremely busy at work. Needless to say, that it was the longest we'd been away from each other.

On the brighter side, Taehyung had been signed on to co-star in a Hollywood movie for the first time in his acting career and also the first for an actor from their agency. It was huge for his career.

He had been traveling a lot, and, as part of the preliminary work, he also underwent a four-week special training in the USA. In addition to it, he had also been very busy with numerous interviews, ad shoots and photo shoots.

In these three months, Taehyung and I were occasionally meeting only on FaceTime. He did come to Seoul for a week last month, but his schedule was so packed that we couldn't squeeze in even a short meet-up or dinner. To say that I was disappointed and depressed would be an understatement.

I had been missing him like crazy, and those days when my work didn't keep me fully occupied were the hardest to get through. I sat around thinking about him and ended up feeling miserable, trying my best to stay strong and cope with the separation. And the time difference between our locations wasn't helping either.

Jay and I spent most of the time cooking together or talking about our jobs. I missed Taehyung a lot, and I hoped that we would soon get to spend more time together.

He didn't come online on YouTube or Twitter since he was super busy. For all of his fans, he seemed to have gone into untraceable mode. Taehyung texted me during his night time every day, and sometimes when I was free, we spoke on FaceTime and at other times when we were on a voice call, he almost always fell asleep in less than ten minutes even while the call was still on.

As for the special training and the other preparation in his work front, he was doing very well. He always shared clips from his work and those never failed to lighten my mood and make me miss him even more, so much to the extent that my heart ached sometimes, and my tears fell at most times.

My birthday was coming up, but I didn't talk about it to Taehyung, and meeting him was out of the equation. But, I secretly hoped that he wouldn't forget it. Jay and I did some shopping for birthday clothes a week ahead of my birthday.

It was midnight, and my phone rang, bringing in the only birthday wish that I was expecting other than Jay's.

"Taehyung," I answered the call eagerly.

"Happy birthday to you...happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Amy... happy birthday to you," he sang ever so cutely.

He was a grown-up child with a man's voice, and it never once failed to melt my heart.

"Taehyung... thank you so much," I laughed letting my head drop, my skin sprouting goosebumps hearing the birthday song in his smoky, manly voice.

"I love you, Amy," his voice dropped an octave lower.

"I love you, Taehyung," my eyes welled up with unshed tears that were on the verge of spilling out.

"I want to gift you something memorable... Can you come over today?" He asked in his smooth voice, and my mood suddenly turned into excitement.

My eyes widened in disbelief.
"Come over? Where? Where are you now?" I excitedly bombarded him with questions.

Are we going to finally meet? Woohoo!

"We'll meet at my house tonight," he said calmly.

I was surprised and undeniably hyper-excited.
"Your house? Tonight? Are you back home, Taehyung? You never told me..."
