Chapter 18
Us
"You look beautiful" my mom says while gawking down at my dress, I giggle while staring at my own reflection at the mirror "this isn't my final gown, mommy"
"I know" she fixes my hair. It was a half up rope braid with a Greek headband, two thin strand of my hair were curled at each end. my earrings dangled across the lights
"Let's make your hair straight and sleek at the dance later" I nod as she holds me sideways "you're so grown up now, please enjoy your youth"
I smile while seeing myself in the mirror, I'm an adult now. and sooner or later I will have a job, I will get married, carry a child
"Don't worry, I'll enjoy this"
My mom lights the first candle
it's as if everything is a dream
It feels so complete that it's lonely and scary
"My daughter, you have grown so much and I am so proud of who you are now" tears shined in her eyes "I always dreamed of a daughter as sweet at you, now is just the beginning of your life"
"Please live a life that will make you happy, don't deprive yourself of the things that you are deserving of" she then starts to sob, I held back mine "life is too short to live in the dark"
I nod at her words and bite my bottom lip to stop myself from crying, I never knew this stupid 18th birthday is so emotional to most girls "one day I will have to give you to the man who you love and will marry"
"No man would ever be deserving of you but if I were to walk you in the altar, it would be to Taehyung" I gulp from her words "I know you still have a lot of dreams so please enjoy them."
"Mom will always love you no matter what happens"
"I will always be your mother."
Nayeon's candle wax starts to drip as she starts to shift in front of me in a hyper way, her joyful bunny smile was from ear to ear "hehe" she says against the mic
She clears her throat before speaking in a loud voice "YEHEY! YOU'RE EIGHTEEN NOW YOU CAN FINALLY GO TO JAIL!" the whole venue bursts out in laughter and so did I
"Nayeon! say it more properly" her mom scolds my dear friend, our eyes met and she shrugs "okay, I was just joking. so first, happy birthday Dahyun."
"The day we met is still filled with so many colors in my memory" she gave me a sincere look "we grew up till now and I just want you to know that I'll forever be there for you, no matter what happens I will always be by your side"
"I hope in the next five years or so you would still be my friend. you were the greatest wish that ever came to me and I just want you to-uwaaa" she started to cry against the mic, her mother gave her a worried look and tried to step in when Taehyung stops her
He glances at me for a second and breaks the eye contact "thank you for supporting me in everything, even when some of it were plain dumb and stupid. thank you for listening and hugging me when it hurts"
"And..." she sniffles and wipes her tears "I love you so much, and you are also a part of our family now. I hope you feel the same and uh, I wish you good health and happiness with my brother, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
