"Nari — he might be sleeping, wait!" Haneul calls behind the giggling girl, strolling behind to catch her.

Aera shook her head "Jungkookie won't mind Han. C'mon, let's wish your bunbun a happy birthday" She says to the little girl, placing the strawberry cheesecake which Jungkook loves over the glass plate, decorated with fresh strawberries over the top, complementing with cream cheese frosting.

The omega's quite since the morning and didn't stepped out of the room, Aera's lips curved downwards at that, and she knew. The omega never celebrated his birthdays after his father's death. They brings those tragic memories along and she also respected his choice, plus she doubts that her stepmother and brother would even be aware of the omega's birthdate. Jeonghan's on the other hand though, used to be celebrated on a very big level. The black haired omega was blessed with everything literally, and the things which he couldn't get, he was well aware how to snatch them while Jungkook?

Aera doesn't call him one in a millions just like that.

She shrugged off such thoughts and placed the last strawberry over the cake after slicing it into two pieces. The cake looks exquisite. Though, she isn't quite sure that if Jungkook would be happy or not but still. it's the least she could do.

"I saw you hiding a small beautiful box behind your back, Nari. What did you brought for your bunbun?" Aera inquires teasingly, leaning down to flick her small nose.

The girl smiles brightly, clutching the box into her fingers "You will see!" She replies giddily, tugging on her hand, her eyes fixed to the cake placed over the counter.

"C'mon, c'mon c'mon! I can't wait more!" She shouts again, making Aera smile fondly over her adorable self.

"It's done, let's go" Aera announced while picking up the cake from the counter, Haneul was quick to step ahead.

"Let me, I'll bring the knife and plates as well"

The woman nods before clasping her hand over Nari's, walking towards her son's room.

Nari placed her little finger on her lips "Shh, we shouldn't make a sound otherwise it would ruin the surprise"

Aera's chuckles softly "Your bunbun is a light sleeper, he'd wake up even if you walk past him" She pulled on her little hand again and opened the door.

There he was, dozing off while leaning his head over the window, the position looks uncomfortable. As they walked closer, Aera's lips part slightly.

There were patches of dried tears on the omega's pale cheeks.

She couldn't bring herself to react, numb on her place, but Nari was an impatient child, the girl waddled towards her bunbun and snaked her arm over his shoulder. Jungkook makes a small sound and shifts, opening his swollen lids he's met with the bright face of Nari. And his heart instantly melts.
