Sunset at Hamdeok

Chapter 14

Taehyung took the table calendar on his desk. Tomorrow was August 1st, Tiffany's birthday. He wanted to do something special for her. Taehyung leaned against his chair and contemplated. He could give her diamonds, gold jewelry, expensive dress, but that didn't feel right. He wanted something more special and not just things that anyone with money could buy for her. Tiffany Hwang was more precious than any gems and gold or shinning things in this world. She deserved something more than that.

Taehyung scratched his head. He opened his laptop and began to browse. After thirty minutes, he sighed in frustation. "Why do you suck at finding birthday present for your own girlfriend, Tae?" Just at that moment, he remembered Sooyoung. Maybe she could help. Taehyung grinned. He pushed his official fiancee's number.

"Wait a minute." Taehyung put his phone down. If he called Sooyoung to ask what birthday present would be perfect for Tiffany.... That would sound too weird and probably Sooyoung would be surprised. Even though he had been in a relationship with Tiffany for almost a month, but Taehyung still hadn't told Sooyoung about it. It's not that he didn't want to or worried about her reaction, but he wanted to tell it to Sooyoung face to face. Sooyoung had been so busy these weeks. And now that pretty girl was in United States to attend a comparative study for two weeks. As soon as she got back to Korea, Taehyung would tak to her about his relationship with Tiffany. Taehyung knew Sooyoung would be really happy for him. He couldn't even wait to tell his bestfriend about it.

"Okay, I better look for Tiffany's birthday present on my own." Taehyung shut down his laptop and got up.

........................................................................

Tiffany couldn't hold back her happy tears when her friends brought her a birthday cake made by Kwangsoo which they had kept in Yuri's study as a surprise. Yuri even allowed them to close the coffee shop an hour earlier just to celebrate Tiffany's birthday.

Lee Kwangsoo made other small cakes as a present for her. Sunny gave Tiffany lingerie, Hyoyeon bought her a bra, Jessica wrapped a two piece swimsuit as a present, and Yuri gave a pair of pink slippers for Tiffany. They all sang songs like a bunch of drunk girls.

"Don't forget to make a wish, Fany." Sunny reminded her before that girl blew out her candles. "Just make a wish for a romantic wedding and a dozen of kids." Hyoyeon whispered as she winked at Taehyung who was filming that moment.

"Excuse me? A dozen kids?" Taehyung titled his head in disbelief. "We're not rabbits." But then he smirked at his girlfriend. "You heard that, Honey? We better start making them tonight!"

"Booooooooo!!!!" Sunny, Jessica, and Hyoyeon threw some small cakes at Taehyung. "Pervert!!! Put the ring on Tiffany's finger first, then you can talk about making kids. Uri Tiffany is really really precious. You can't treat her like that." Sunny curled her lips.

"Of course I will." Taehyung laughed. "Let's get married, Fany-ah." He winked.

Tiffany was flusttered. She shyly smiled.

"You call that a marriage proposal? You should get down on your knees!" Jessica glowered.

Taehyung grinned.

"It's all right. Taehyung wasn't serious." Tiffany smiled. "Let me make a wish and blow the candles." She closed her eyes and said her prayer. Deep in her heart Tiffany prayed it wouldn't be her last birthday.

Taehyung watched Tiffany. Something unfamiliar slipped through his heart. All of a sudden he was so scared. What if he wouldn't see her again? What if the world was so cruel and wouldn't let them be together? Taehyung sighed. He'd rather die than to live without Tiffany in his life.
