The next day I woke up, feeling completely rested. I couldn't help but squint my eyes as the sunlight made the white room blinding.
Last night. Birthday. Surprise. Dark eyes.
As various things started running through my mind, I reached out next to me, expecting to feel a bare body and warmth. But there was nothing. Just a pillow and emptiness.
Jimin wasn't there.
I scrambled out of bed, making my way downstairs. It was 8 in the morning and I was hoping to find him there.
On my way down, I could hear his voice coming from the kitchen. The man was humming, no, he was singing.
Just take it all I'm nothing without your love I promise I'll never leave your love My heart is beating 'cause of you Forever and ever and ever Only you can take my heart Dear my love, love, love I wanna stay with you
And of all the music I had heard, it was his voice that calmed my soul. That sounded like sugar and honey to my ears.
Celestial.
Leaning against the kitchen door, I quietly watched him trying to make breakfast.
The kitchen was looking like an absolute mess. Eggshells rolling on the counter. The sink full of dirty utensils. Floor covered with flour.
Oh dear.
And despite the mess and chaotic situation, he still managed to look like the most adorable person ever with the apron on his body.
There were maybe a million things to smile about, but he was definitely my favorite.
I couldn't help but giggle at his silly yet cute state, which immediately made him stop in his tracks and turn to me.
His crescent eyes widened and shortly after a lovely smile appeared on his face, "Good morning, love. I didn't see you. I hope the noise didn't wake you up."
I smiled, walking towards him, "Good morning, and no, of course not. I just wanted to listen to your sweet voice a little." and planted a soft kiss on his left cheek which was also covered with flour.
