birthday

I woke up by my mother stroking my hair. 

"Happy birthday Haru-ya." She smiled as I rubbed my eyes.

"Why were you smiling so much when you were sleeping?" She asked and I coughed. 

If I'm smiling in real life when dreaming, what else am I uncontrollably doing?

"Happy birthday Haru-ssi." Jungkook smiled as he entered my room.

"Stop calling me that!" I scolded and he laughed. He walked over to me in my bed and tugged himself under the blanket.

"I have something for you." He sounded very excited.

"But Jungkook, I thought we agreed not to do gifts.. you know how strict my father is about that..."

"I know, but I couldn't resist buying this when I saw it. I don't expect anything in return. Also there's many months till my next birthday." He said.

"If it's expensive, I don't want it." I said and he got a little less excited. 

Oh, that wasn't my intention...

"What is it?" I said and leant into him, hoping to gain a smile from him.

As wanted, he smiled and then pulled a little box up from underneath the blanket. He handed it to me and didn't stop looking at my face as I opened it.

"Wow, this is so.." I said, startled by the gorgeous necklace with a purple crystal charm in the little box. I looked up at Jungkook, tears forming in my eyes.

"What? Don't you like it?" He questioned worried.

"No no, it's beautiful Jungkook. Thank you." I said and kissed his cheek. He smiled and pulled me into his chest. A tear from my eye landed on his shirt. I adored the purple heart as it glittered from the light seeking through my curtains.

"The purple symbolizes euphoria..." He said low voiced and made my heart skip a beat.

"Haru? Answer my question." My mom said while waving her hand before my eyes trying to catch my attention. 

I'm not gonna tell her that that's the reason I was smiling

"I don't know mom, I was sleeping." I said with a raspy voice and smiled, trying not to sound rude. 

Sometimes the dreams just felt so real it was hard to distinguish my emotions in dreams from reality - that's why I was smiling mom.

"Breakfast's ready." She said and went to the kitchen. 

I quickly got dressed in my uniform, put on some light makeup and went to the kitchen. 

Fuck, I forgot to do my homework for today

I put my hand to my face in regret that I stayed up so late yesterday watching Netflix. Luckily my dad is never home in the morning so he couldn't be there to question me about it. 

My mom had made a delicious breakfast and I genuinely thanked her for it as I got up and was about to leave.

"Wait Haru!" She called as I shut the front door behind me. I opened the door again, stepping inside.

"You forgot to open your present." She said smiling as she handed me a letter.

"I thought dad wouldn't let me get a present now that my grades haven't gotten any better?" I said confused as I accepted the letter from her hands.

"Your dad doesn't know about it, and it stays like that." She whispered and winked at me with her comforting smile. I smiled and opened the letter.

"No way mom!" I screamed and froze, looking at the papers in my hand. 

"Are they real?" I said still frozen.

"They sure are." She laughed as I jumped into her arms.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you so much." I said and jumped up and down.

I pulled away and looked at the papers again. It was printed out tickets for the upcoming BTS concert in Seoul! Or... one printed ticket.

"But mom, there's only one? Aren't you going with me?" I stuttered, a sudden fear rushing over me. Me, all alone in Seoul? I literally have no social skills.

"The tickets were expensive and I thought that you could stay there overnight so you don't have to rush home and all." She smiled. My heart warmed looking at my loving mother and then I jumped around again.

"But what about dad?" I stopped jumping and got serious, "He will find out sooner or later." I continued worried.

"Don't worry about that, we'll tell him you're going to Seoul to greet a new student that's gonna transfer to your school too." 

"He'll never believe that." I sighed.

"I'll make him." She winked at me.

Wow, she really thought this through

"Now get to school!" She clapped my butt.

"I love you." I yelled on my way out of the door.

au. n.
ooo, this is gonna be interesting..
