Birthday Boy || Do Kyungsoo Fanfic ||

Chapter 1

Hi. My name is Park Min-hee. I am 16 years old, and about to become a senior in high school. I can't wait to graduate so I can finally leave school and do whatever the heck I want. As you can tell, I hate school. Why? Because well haha...

I'm extremely shy.

Luckily, I have one friend, his name is Kim Jongdae. We have known each other since kindergarten, and although he had tried to introduce me to his 8 other friends, I usually run away all the time.

I usually get teased all the time because I only have Jongdae, but I have already gotten used to the fact that I can't make friends.

I am also extremely bad at school. Guess how many times I talk in class? Never. Usually when I get called in class, I end up getting the answer wrong, and a crowd of laughter along with it. Am I fine with that? Yes.

However, there is one thing I am good at, sports. In sports, I do not have to speak up and talk a lot. I do not need to answer a math question in order to be considered "good".

I am in the varsity team for softball, soccer, & volleyball . I have been asked to be team captain, but obviously I have declined since I know I won't manage to speak up.

You're probably wondering.. how did I manage to get into all those teams?

Well, it happened 8 years ago..

That day was my birthday, I had just turned 8, and I was sitting on the sidewalk in front of my house, crying in my muddy soccer uniform, when a boy around my age came up to me.

"What's wrong?" Said the boy holding 8 blue balloons

I was crying that not only the fact that my parents had forgotten it was my birthday, but that today was the day where I had done so poorly in a soccer game that I had caused our team to lose, only to get pushed into the mud.

"My team lost the soccer game, and it's all because of me.."

He then sat down kris-crossed beside me.

"It's okay, you will get better. You don't have to be good right now, as long as you try, you will be better, better than the rest."

"..You're a smart boy, why are you so smart?" I said.

"Haha, because I study, so I can be better in the future."

"I should do the same, because I really suck at school" I carelessly said.

We were then both laughing. I don't know how and why it was so easy to talk to this stranger, but it was.

"Is there anything else wrong? That can't be the only reason why you were crying.." he said.

"Well.. my parents.. they did not remember it was my birthday" I said as tears started filling my eyes"

"Well, you should tell them, so they remember next time" he said.

"I don't think they would want to remember it is my birthday.."

*sighs* He holds out his 8 balloons. "Take these"

"What?! No, they're yours.."

"It's your birthday, so take these, think of it.. as a birthday gift" he smiled.

"Thank.. you so much" I said with a huge smile.

"No problem, and have a great day okay?"

"Okay"

"One last thing, what's your name?" He said.

"My name? It's Park Min-hee. What's yours?"

"My name is-"

He was about to say his name when we heard a woman's voice in the distance, too far to recognize what she said, but I guessed that she was calling out for someone.

"My mom is looking for me, I have to go. I'll see you later okay? Have a great day, goodbye !!" Said the boy.

"Goodbye !!" I said as I watched the boy run off in the distance. Which is when I realized..

I didn't get his name.

I assumed I would one day see that boy again, but it has been 8 years since I have seen him.

But everyday on my birthday, I would go outside of my house, only to see balloons attached to my gate.

Every time I turn a year older, another extra balloon I get. So I got 9 blue balloons when I turned 9, 13 balloons when I turned 13, I even got 16 balloons on my 16 birthday. It is so obvious that it is the same boy from when I was 8 that was giving me these balloons, but why won't he show me his face? I'm dying to know his name and how he looks after 8 years..

I even made up a nickname for this boy since I do not know his real name. It's called birthday boy. Since he only shows his presence on my birthday. My only birthday wish for the past 8 years was to know and meet that boy again, but up until now, I have no idea who that is.

But I guess for now, I'll only have that one memory with that boy. The boy who gave me hope, and told me to keep going.

I can't wait for the day that I will meet you.

Until then, birthday boy.
