Taehyung blew out the candles on his cake while his family clap and sing happy birthday around. A smile stretched across his face as his mother cuts the cake.
" Oh my Taehyungie got so big!" his mum sang giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
" I'm only 15 mama," Taehyung hugged back standing up to get plates from the kitchen.
" still, soon you'll be living with your wife in your own house with kids running around," Taehyungs smile fell at the mention of a wife. His mother doesn't know that he's gay and he doesn't know what his mum would think of him if he did come out.
Taehyung brought back some plates from the kitchen and set them down on the table. As people were eating cake Taehyung ran up too his room and snatched his phone from the bedside table and went onto jimins contact.
no messages.
it's been 2 years and taehyung has not heard anything from Jimin. He would always text him but Jimin would never respond.
maybe he's busy, taehyung thought anyway. His best friend would never forget his birthday. So with a smile on his face he brushed it off and went back down to join his family.
-
Just before Taehyung went to bed he grabbed his phone and clicked on jimins contact. He stared at it for a while, wondering whether to give him a call. His best friend wouldn't reject the call right? And so he rang him. A few rings after Jimin picked up.
Taehyung gasped at how Jimin looked.
Oh he glowed up alright.
"Hey Jimin," taehyung whispered still in awe.
"Hey Taehyung," Jimin smiled but there was no emotion to his voice. "listen tae i can't talk right now i gotta study, i'll catch up later okay?"
"oh okay, it's just that-" Taehyung stopped when his video stopped, indicating that Jimin had hung up.
Taehyung threw his phone and sniffled. Not even his best friend remembered his birthday. Someone that's been his friend for years just threw him to the side like that. The more Taehyung thought about him the more tears he shed, and the more he wondered "was jimin even his best friend anymore?" Probably not. But Taehyung was too pure to think like that. He loved Jimin. And that was it.
