Chapter 32

As Jimin stepped inside the diner, close family and friends gathered around with Chaeyoung beside him. They started singing a birthday song for him and Jimin sheepishly smiled, getting embarrassed already.

They clapped and laughed at Jimin's reaction then his parents went forward to make him blow his birthday cake.

"Make a wish, son."
Wish? Does he need to wish? Will it be granted if he wished? Wishing is uncertain and so he clasped his both palms.

He don't need to wish, just like what he told to Lisa before? He closed his eyes and mumbled a simple 'thank you' prayer.

They watched him smiled and then after that he blowed the candles. Jimin's friends and relatives clapped elatedly some are even whistling.

But no matter how happy he feel right now? There's missing. Where is Lisa?

"Happy Birthday!"
They greeted him once more before his parents loudly said that it's time for the food which everybody was very pleased to hear.

People subsides around him, only Yoongi was the one that left behind with him.

"Are you waiting for someone else?"
His best friend asked him. Jimin hesitantly nodded which earned him a soft pat at his back.

"Jimin maybeー"

"She'll come hyung."
The younger one smiled, he believes on Lisa's words to him. And by seeing Jimin positive about this, Yoongi can only nod, fully understood the latter's feelings. He ruffled Jimin's black natural hair and chuckled.

"Arasso, but let's just eat while waiting on her."
Jimin didn't have strength to argue about it, so he just complied with his best friend.

Come to think of it? Reaching the age twenty really doesn't makes sense actually. But the fact that you'll realized that you're not a kid anymore is somewhat terrifying.

Because this time? You'll need to stand on your own. Do what you want on your own. Free but more responsibilities. They no longer see you as a kid anymore. The youth is gone and I don't know if that is somewhat to be happy about.

But for Jimin? It was a fifty-fifty mixture of excitement and sorrow. He held and secured his childhood for a long time, only to tossed all of it when he met Lisa. Is it worth it?

Yes. Everything is worth it for the one you love. There's no regrets with the right decisions. When you're happy and rest assured of it? Then it's the right choice. Then it's worth it.

A few minutes passed by, the restaurant chime ring which means someone just entered. Others who are curious turned their heads to look at the new guest.
