You always thought you would hate Valentine's Day.

After all, being born on the day of love wasn't the easiest. Okay, so you didn't have it as bad as those born on Christmas Day, but whenever you were propositioned with telling someone your birthday, it always came with the endless comments.

"Oh, Valentine's Day?!" You nod, trying to prevent your eyes from rolling. "You must be simply full of love then."

"Not really."

"Have you ever had anyone confess on your birthday to be your Valentine? You'd get double the presents! Chocolates and a gift, I think it would be amazing to be recognised twice on such a magical day."

You scoffed. Love just wasn't your thing.

Until you met Jaehyun.

It happened with a stroke of luck in your first year of university. You had to sit through the typical game of sharing a random fact about yourself with the fellow freshmen students in your department during orientation week. And when the handsome brunette across the circle you sat in smiled in preparation, you wondered what he would say. That he played some kind of sport? That he was good at making music? Being in the performing arts department and all, that would be a given. You watched as his smile deepened, much like the dimple on his cheek. You couldn't exactly help but feel entranced.

"Hi, I'm Jung Jaehyun, and my random fact is I was born on Valentine's Day."

Giggles and appreciative hums filled the room as you blinked slowly at his admission. He didn't seem bothered by sharing a day with every couple in the world, and when one of the other students asked him if he liked Valentine's Day, he nodded, smiling to himself. Why? You guessed because he was handsome, he must have a good experience each year with confessions.

Unlike you, who got the typical cards during high school saying they were only asking to be your Valentine because it was your birthday and it was the only way you'd get some love. Kids were cruel, and you pouted thinking how different Jaehyun's experience must have been. You were so invested in your thoughts of the injustice over being a Valentine's baby that when it came to your turn, you weren't prepared at all. You grew flustered and uttered whatever came to your mind first.

"Uh, I'm Y/N and I'm also born on Valentine's Day."

"Really?" the girl asked beside you and you nodded. She clapped with glee. "We have our first campus couple!"

You gaped at her exclamation, many others agreeing with her. You glanced hesitantly over at Jaehyun who grinned.

You were hopeful this wouldn't amount to anything.

"Are you really born on Valentine's Day?"

Turning around, you saw Jaehyun approaching you on your first proper day of classes. He smiled at you warmly as he fell into step at your side. "Y/N right?"

"Uh yeah," you confirmed, feeling the flush of colour on your cheeks deepen at Jaehyun remembering your name. You then nodded softly, confirming his question. "I am."

"That's really cool, I've never met anyone else who shares a birthday with me. It was always weird being the Valentine's boy, not that I minded it all that much."
