The Last Welcome - KNK Youjin × Heejun

#11

My birthday was approaching. And for some reason I was hesitant on what to do.

But I decided to do nothing ultimately. My parents lived too far away to celebrate with them, and all my other friends were busy.

So I sat at my table and gave myself 22 pinches.

My phone vibrated, and I unlocked it. Seeing a message I did not expect.

'Happy Birthday Youjin.'

From Oh Heejun, sent at 7:55 am.

He remembered? A boyish smile grew unconsciously on my face. It was exciting having someone remember so early into the day.

But I soon shook off my excitement. I shouldn't be so happy, getting a text from him. Not that he had done anything bad, if anything I created the gap between us. But still, I had felt something for him. And he just stated he can't.

For the first time in months I texted him back. What a troublesome thing I had done, just because of my birthday.

'Thank you Heejun. Really.'

If only I had ignored it.
