~Time skip to October~
Today started off normal until my K-pop group chat remined me what day it was...along with Twitter. It feels as if everywhere I turned I saw something about his birthday. I can't ignore it, how can I? Someone in the group chat, I think it was Joy, posted Chan's mom's Instagram post of him and her when he was a baby. He is so cute and his mom is absolutely gorgeous. But the smile slipped knowing he will never be with me.
"Did you want to hang out with me and the other two after work?" Matt asked as I finishing typing my message to another coworker. "Um..." I was about to answer him when my phone's screen lit up and I saw a YouTube notification displayed. Oh no... I knew who was live and I tried to ignore it. "I'll let you know."
"Everything okay?" He could tell something was wrong. How do I explain to him that the man of my dreams, who I slept with...who's a K-pop idol is live for his birthday right now. How does one tell someone, who knows nothing about K-pop, that? I would sound insane.
Instead I told him, "yeah...just have somethings on my mind."
"Okay, well you know where I am if you wanna talk," he flashed a smile before turning back to his desk. Matt is really amazing and I love talking to him but I didn't want to vent to him about this. Again, how would I even explain everything?? So instead of texting my friends from back home about my problem, what did I do? I ended up turning on his live.
There he was on my phone, my goodness, he looked so fucking hot. But, it was really nice to see him smile. I can't believe he went live after coming back from his trip that I saw something about on Twitter. I tried to ignore it but it was hard when people kept mentioning how it was nice he was finally getting a break. Seeing him smile honestly made me smile. And when he imitated the duck, I caught myself laughing softly, giving me a warm feeling.
"Alright everyone, thank you for the birthday wishes! I appreciate it. But, I must go. Love you all Stay!" I head him say in English through my headphones. I closed out of YouTube when I thought of an idea. I decided to do something bold. I mean, it's his birthday, let me try to see if he will even say thank you. It can't hurt what I'm about to do...right?
I had a spilt second of me thinking it was a bad idea but then my thumbs began to type before my brain told me to stop. And as soon as the message was finished I sent it. I said nothing crazy like, I WANT YOU BACK. All I said was, "happy birthday, I hope you have a wonderful day." Kept it about him and kept it normal. Everyone deserves to receive a happy birthday message, I think so anyways.
Seconds, turned into minutes and minutes turned into hours. I kind of forgot about it until the K-pop group chat was popping off about Chan's birthday still and other K-pop stuff. They even shared Chan's Instagram photos that he posted. So of course I had to go to his page and admire the human he is.
I was pretty proud of myself because my stomach didn't turn nor did I feel guilty when looking at the photo. I'm trying really hard to just see him as the leader of my favorite group again. So far, it's heading that way.
