PAST

"Happy birthday!" Taehyung was woken up by Jimin's loud cheerful voice. He had no idea what was happening around him.

Rubbing his eyes, his vision still a bit blurry as he wasn't fully woken up, he looks around seeing all the colourful decorations Jimin had put in their room.

"Oh my Goodness!" Taehyung gasped, his eyes grew wide in surprise when Jimin giggled and showed him the room around.

"It's my bestie's birthday today!" Jimin hugged him tight. For the first time in a while Taehyung smiled widely.

Jimin looked at him and comically gasped, "omg look at you, so pretty with that adorable smile of yours! you're turning 20 today, pretty TaeTae! Wohoo!" Jimin danced in a funny way, may be it was hip hop or something he does.

Taehyung had no idea but he giggled so hard. It must be after such a long time, his eyes formed like cresent moon and lips form into a boxy smile, his adorable nose scrunching and cute giggles erupting from lips.

It's been a while and Jimin felt his heart squeeze as he reminisced how much he missed his best friend who deserved nothing but love, looking this beautiful when he smiled.

Taehyung clapped, getting up to hug him.

"Thank you for this Jiminie...." He sighed happily.

"Shut up okay? We are best friends and there is no sorry or thank you between us. Why do you keep breaking our bestie code?" Jimin pouted exaggeratedly.

"I don't think we ever had one. You are making this all up, aren't you?" Taehyung narrowed his eyes at his best friend's silliness.

"We don't? Then we should have it!" Jimin raised his eyebrows. Taehyung shook his head as he threw his head back laughing hard. Jimin found it funny too and started giggling.

He brought the gift he got for him, it was a beautiful silver locket of a unique curve symbolic design, there was a card with it, on which in a beautiful calligraphic handwriting it was written,

'No matter where we go,
No matter what we do,
You will always have me,
I will always have you...'

There were other little gifts that he had also got for him which Tae found so adorable and a big fluffy hoodie that had soulmates and two bunny rabbits drawn on it.

Taehyung's smile dimmed when he saw the bunnies, being reminded of his own friend Jungkook.

Taehyung bit his lips, kepy the hoodie aside and sat on his bed with a loud sigh. Jimin looked at him with a puzzled look.

"What happened Tae you didn't like the Hoodie?" He sat beside him with a pout.

"No, Jimin it's cute I loved it." Taehyung shook his head, letting a soft airy laugh out.

"I know! I know it well. 'Cause this is literally your style." Jimin proudly grinned. Taehyung looks at him and smiles sadly.

Their final exams were finally over few days ago. And Taehyung had contemplated a lot about this. He thought it really would be just better to move and study abroad that can give him better opportunities.

And now that time had come when he had to decide upon this.

"Jiminie...I am thinking of considering it." Taehyung bites his lips, observing Jimin's reaction.

"Considering what?" Jimin frowned.

"Considering to take the opportunity Appa was talking about..." He said in a timid voice.
