My Birthday Gift

Gang Tae pov ++

This day is also same just like others nothing new, I said before getting up.

I started cleaning and getting ready for my one of the boring days.

I left for school then work after having breakfast.

I live alone for so long so making breakfast for myself is also a part of my daily routine, my life always same, boring and lonely.

But today is the worst day why?? Cuz it's my-

"Hey, Poor boy!! It's your birthday today?? So how you gonna celebrate it??"
My landlord's son shouted from the roof and I looked at him.

Yeah, it's my 16th birthday....

Should I do some charity work helping you to celebrate your birthday, he said and I ignored and started leaving.

Don't forget to pay the rent!! He shouted his lungs out.

Ignore!!!

Birthdays...they are supposed to be the happiest day of anyone's life, where they can meet their loved ones, friends and spent their time together, parents and elders blessed you to have a successful and happy life.

I wish he could understand it's not about money or any expensive party it's about the people you spend your time with celebrating your birthday.

I was minding my own business when a notorious goon of my street pulled me in a corner and I rolled my eyes. You'll get alot of them here.

Oh!! I heard It's your birthday today, he said don't you think you should give us party, he said snatching my wallet.

You mean, donation or charity?? I asked.

You definitely found a new way of begging, I said taking my wallet back.

I'm not scared of these little thugs but rich people...they are scary.

I was about to leave when his other friends came to help him stealing money.

What were you saying?? Poor boy?? He said cracking his knuckles boys standing behind him.

Poor boy?? Look who's talking?? I said and started running and they started following me.

They cought me and of course a little fighting session with them.

A murderer like you shouldn't have born, he said before leaving me.

Yeah, I shouldn't have born, I said and got up and cleared the dust.

It's always the same sometimes they caught me sometime didn't, as I said it's always the same. Boring!!!

I went to school and again formalities of listening Happy Birthday.

And a formal reply with a warm smile thank you.

It's funny they don't care about me or my life at all for 3 years but on my birthday they do the formalities of wishing me why??

Is it important to wish someone on their birthday?? like you forgot to wish him on his birthday now go to hell!!!

Happy birthday Gang Tae!! Now get back to work, my restaurant owner said.

Yeah, formalities!!!

You know why did everyone remember my birthday ?? Because it comes on a leap year 29 February, thank God I don't have to hate a day every single year.

I started working, taking orders handling some shit like coustomer and some nice ones too.

And the day went just like everyday Boring!!!!
