25th march ; meet my boyfriend

will ya look at that, its my fifteenth birthday today, the morning was so far going boring, well i just woke up anyway. flinging my legs off the bed i get up, making my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. maybe take a shit too.

i walk out of the bathroom after about 15 minutes of spacing out and rethinking my life choices for the past 15 years. the house seemed well, oddly quiet which was very much of my concerns. i walk down the hall leading to haehyun's room, shoving the door open, i was greeted by loud snores from a lump of blanket on his bed.

i flicker my eyes to the clock on his pink-ish walls — yes, they're pink 'cuz he loves the color, got a problem?

9 45 it read in bold letters, damn, this kid sleeps so long i mutter under my breath — it was the weekend anyway. i slowly close the door, it was the weekend anyway, so it was not a surprise for my brother to be asleep. all for what i knew was my mum was at work as she had the morning shift today, against my begs to stay home, 'cuz its my birthday she went to work anyway, saying and i quote "i will be back at 2pm and we can still have your birthday in the evening".

groaning with un-satisfaction of the day, i waddle down the stairs, greeted by my dad who seemed busy in the kitchen. "good morning dad!" i say with a big smile, with all hopes of the world he remembers what day, today is. "good morning birthday girl" he grins, pulling me into a loving hug. "my one and only daughter is fifteen" he mutters, kissing my forehead. "i heard i'll be meeting a special person in your life today?" my dad says as he turns around and continues cooking.

i sigh knowing my mum must have told him, "yeah" i mutter out, sitting at the table, where my breakfast was placed. "noona! happy birthday" my brother says as he rushes down the stairs with his device in one hand. "thank you haehyun, shocking that you actually remembered" i mumbled the last part.

"does your boyfriend play roblox" he asks innocently as he shoves his omelette into his mouth, almost choking on it. roblox, — ah, yes, of course he does, i remember playing 'tower of hell' the night we became boyfriend and girlfriend and saying it was our first date— i think to myself.

"i don't know, why don't you ask him yourself" i lie, rolling my eyes at the nine year old, who glared at me. pouting as rage filled his eyes, he grumbled something against me continuing what he was playing, "did you just grumble at me bish" i say in pure offense. "hell yeah i did" he bites back, before getting up and running of to the living room. "dad, haehyun is bullying me" i yell, as my dad laughs.

life is too short to fight back an annoying kid, so i just ignored haehyun, without fueling his fire and walked back to bedroom.

honestly i never celebrated my birthday with my friends, i always celebrated with my family — my mum, dad, and brother. to think it was probably gonna be the same except that yukhei would also be here is, pretty odd. i reach out for my phone as i slowly crawl on to my bed for its warmth. as i open the only app, that my fingers seemed to know automatically. memories from the previous night, come flooding in, i open his dms before typing a quick "good morning"

incoming call from 'boyfriend<3'

my fingers hover over the accept button for a few seconds, but i accept the call anyway. "hello?" i say unsure, "good morning haewon" his deep voice rings through the speakers, startling me into bits. "hOw aRe yoU tOdAy" i say in a funky voice, as it was i guess an usual question i ask. "okay, you?" he mutters. "hmm, good i guess?" my answer came out more as a question. "i had a scary dream" he continues, "what was it about" i ask, honestly curious.
