"Happy Birthday, Jimin."


When Jungkook said those words, I didn't know what to say. I couldn't say anything.


The one person that I would least expect to know my birthday let alone celebrate it... was him. 


Someone I met almost all too recently in a classroom. Someone that continuously showed up in my life once he was here. Someone...that gave me the smile I could only have when he was around. 


"Make your birthday wish," he said, looking at me and gauging my reaction.


I set my fork away and looked around cautiously, seeing numerous eyes on me...or rather the three tier cake that Jungkook had most likely baked himself.


This guy has skills... Too many for my pride.


But, I complied and closed my eyes briefly to make a wish, feeling a little embarrassed along the way.


What did I wish for, you ask?


It's a secret of course! 


After all, it's bad omen to give away your wish when it hasn't come true yet.  Well, at least in my book that is.


I sucked in a breath and blew out the candles lining the tiers of the cake. All of this seemed so surreal and dream like. 


Is this a dream? I certainly hope not.


Jungkook cut out a piece of the cake for me and handed me the first slice, placing it onto my plate. I graciously took a bite and was met with a burst of sweetness and cream. Of course, this much sugar isn't usually my thing but this is a special occasion. 


An occasion...that I usually spend with myself and is forgotten.


I downed yet another glass of the yellow beverage after finishing the slice, oddly feeling a little light headed now. 


My senses were heightened and my emotions seemed to escape from their cages and run rampant. It felt like I could do anything and say anything I wanted, my mind feeling cloudy and high up.


"Yah, why do you know my birthday anyway?" I asked after a long moment, my voice carrying an edge to it that made me sound angry to a certain degree. 


This wasn't like me but my mouth kept running on it's own, no thoughts to being moral.


My head swayed a bit and I blinked a few times, my vision blurring a little bit and then focusing. 


"Jimin, are you okay?" Jungkook asked. I didn't have to see him to know that he was worried.


I propped my head up with my right hand on the table, my cheeks taking a pinkish tint and my head spinning.
