You Never Walk Alone [1st Draft Ver.]

Chapter 78

"SURPRISE!"

All of them yelled as they jumped out.

Jimin and Taehyung stared at the backyard, eyes widening in shock.

The backyard was decorated beautifully, with golden and silver streamers dangling from every tree, a 'Happy Birthday!' banner hung in between two trees in the middle of the backyard, the table in front of the birthday banner was decorated with balloons and there was something covered with a cloth on it. A bit further from the middle, a loudspeaker was set up.

The fairy lights –that were there before as well– sparkled even more brightly than usual, there were balloons thrown about, in a corner of the yard, right near the fences and a few trees where a few foldable tables, and on them there were a few cloches, a few bottles of coca cola and other cold drinks, some paper tableware and a faraway table, there were a lot of gifts piled up.

"What happened?" Jin asked, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion and concern as he saw tiny tears build up in both the birthday boys' eyes.

"I-Is this for us?" Jimin asked, his eyes still wide in disbelief.

"Nah, it's for that dead... fly we found yesterday." Yoongi replied with a slight scoff, "Of course it's for you... two, idiots."

"Do you not like i–"

"Thank you," Jimin and Taehyung breathed out at the same time, unintentionally cutting Jin off.

"Thank you," Jimin repeats, this time louder as he gives everyone in the backyard a small smile and slightly bows his head.

"You're welcome, boys." Da-hee smiles back, ruffling the two boys' hair.

Taehyung thanks everyone as well and then the backyard falls silent for a while as the twins continue to look around, both amazed and touched by the efforts.

"Now that you've seen... your birthday decorations, go upstairs... and change into some better... clothes, I'm not letting you... two cut the cake... in pajamas." Jin instructed, turning the two boys around and nudging them inside and towards the staircase.

"But these pajamas are... completely fine!" Taehyung defended, reluctantly climbing up the first few steps of the staircase.

"Nope. Go change into some... better clothes." Jin ordered, crossing his arms, not letting them go anywhere else but the staircase.

"Oh alright," Jimin sighed, pulling his twin along with him as he trudged upstairs.

–

"How about this?" Jimin asked, holding up a green hoodie.

They were in their room, clothes sprawled on their bed, trying to decide something fitting to wear on their birthday.

"It's good!" Taehyung nodded, picking up a dark blue shirt from the pile of clothes, "How about this one for... me?"

"Yeah, that one's nice." Jimin spoke, "I'll go get changed, and... then you can go."

Taehyung hummed, holding the shirt he'd wear.

A few minutes later, Jimin walked out of the bathroom.

Taehyung looked at his twin and immediately rushed to his desk, opening the drawer and rummaging through it before pulling out a packet of crystal stickers.

He ran to his twin and placed a few on his twin's cheeks.

"What're you doing?" Jimin chuckled, watching as his twin decorated his cheekbones with crystal stickers.

"You need shining freckles." Taehyung answered, "You'll look even... prettier with them."

"Alright," Jimin smiled, letting his twin add 'shining freckles' to his face.
