It’s 11:30 AM on the clock. Jungkook fluttered his eyes open, looking around to realize it was already late in the morning. Taehyung was nowhere to be seen. After staying up late last night, Jungkook had overslept. The events of the previous night were unforgettable for him—he was still shaken by what had happened.

Taehyung, an early riser, had woken up much earlier. Like every day, he smooch over Jungkook’s whole face and neck and stared at him for a while as Jungkook slept peacefully. The sleeping beauty could sense it even in his sleep, but his tiredness dragged him back into deep slumber.

Suddenly, the loud chatter of many people outside snapped Jungkook out of his thoughts. The noise seemed to be coming from the garden. Surely, locals had gathered outside. But why? This house always saw a steady flow of people since the Kim family was highly respected in the area, but such a large crowd was unusual without a specific reason or occasion.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed with his hands cupping his cheeks, Jungkook pondered the situation. He didn’t have the courage to step out and see why so many people were gathered, especially after everything that had happened the day before.

Just then, Jimin burst into the room in a hurry, followed by two maids. Seeing him, Jungkook quickly got up from the bed and stood straight. Jimin walked up to him, handing him a towel, and hurriedly said,

--" Jungkookie baby, freshen up quickly. Taehyung-hyung said you need to get ready fast and join him at the breakfast table. It's already very late!

Jungkook frowned and asked,

--" Why are there so many people outside? Is today some special occasion today, hyungie?

Hearing this, Jimin stared at him with a mix of surprise and amusement. After a few moments, he burst out laughing.

Jungkook, pouting his lips, asked,

--" Why are you laughing, Jimin-hyungie? Did I say something funny? There must be a reason for all these people showing up so early in the morning, right?

Jimin chuckled, pinched Jungkook’s cheek affectionately, and replied,

--" Yes, Kookie. Everyone is here today to wish your Mr. Arrogant a happy birthday. The entire area of Daegu celebrates this day in a festive way. People started arriving here at 8 AM to greet your hot headed husband on his birthday.

Jungkook’s eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Jimin. Blinking in disbelief, he asked,

--" It’s his birthday today?

Hearing Jungkook’s words, Jimin burst out laughing again and then, with a smile, said,

--" Yes, today is your Mr. Arrogant's birthday. And his birthday is celebrated on a grand scale here. It’s not just in here, but even outside the country where people celebrate it. Since yesterday, there's been so much commotion about his birthday. Gifts and birthday wishes have been pouring in from everywhere. News channels have been covering it all morning, showing previous birthday celebrations, and discussing his life.

Tonight, there will be a huge party outside, and preparations for it will begin soon. Yesterday, eomma and I went to the crunch to pray for Taehyung-hyung’s birthday. Eomma wanted hyung to take you along, but he flatly refused. That’s why you didn’t know about any of this. Got it now?

Jimin smirked before urging Jungkook,

--" Now, quickly freshen up and come down! Taehyung-hyung is waiting for you at the breakfast table, and he’ll head out to the other part of Daegu after that.

Jungkook, without saying a word, pouted and went into the washroom to freshen up. The thought that today was Taehyung’s birthday and he had no idea about it made him feel irritated. Perhaps no one in the house dared to tell him due to Taehyung's intimidating aura, but still, Taehyung himself could have mentioned it. Then again, who announces their own birthday?
