-Jungkook Imagine-
<Jungkook POV>

[15th birthday]
I came back from my lunch break and saw a card on my table, I picked it up and read it.
"Heard it's your birthday today.
Happy birthday, Jungkook!"

I wonder who left this card on my table?
I looked around the class and I saw her looking at me but she blushed and turned away after realising I saw her.

"Was it her?
Ah... She's really cute."

[16th birthday]
"Happy birthday, Jungkook!"

She surprised me with a hug from the back just as I stepped into class.
She was the sweetest girlfriend I could ever ask for.

[17th birthday]
"Surprise! Happy birthday Jungkook~"

She came out from our classroom together with the whole class with a cake in her hands.
But my eyes weren't on her.
Neither was it on the cake.

"She's really cute."
I thought.

I was looking at the girl behind her that just transferred into our class.

[18th birthday]
"Jungkook!! Happy 18th birthday!!"

She smiled as she walked towards me down along the classroom corridor with a cake in her hands.

"Stop doing this.
You're embarrassing me."
I yelled and smashed the cake on the floor.

"Let's break up."
I said and walked passed her.

I held the hand of the female student that transferred to our class a year ago and said,
"She's much better than you are."

I could tell she tried to hold back her tears as she looked at me but she turned away and ran off as soon as she couldn't hold it in any longer.

She transferred school not long after.
I never saw or received anything from her again.
Till...

[19th birthday]
"Jungkook, happy birthday..."

I reached home and saw a cake at my doorstep.
Together with a letter.
I picked it up and read it.

"Jungkook, hope you haven't forgotten me because I definitely haven't.
Happy 19th birthday...
I baked this cake for you.
I hope she's taking good care of you and loves you as much as I do.
But please do take caution of her actions nowadays, I don't want you to get hurt."

"Nuisance."
I just left the cake on my kitchen table leaving the cream to melt away.

Not long later, I realised that girl cheated on me with another guy.

I started to miss her.

[20th birthday]
I was waiting for her cake.
Her letter.
Or even just a card will do.

It was midnight.
I sat outside a convenient store near my house holding a can of beer in my hand.

"Jungkook!!"

That sweet voice.
I looked opposite the road.
It was her.
She was holding a cake.

She jumped and waved at me.
I smiled as she ran towards me across the road.
I took a step forward and saw a car going totally out of control driving towards her.

Slow motioning everything,
I remembered her turning to the direction that car was coming towards her from.
How she stood still in shock.

"Look out!!"
I took a step forward but it was too late.

The next moment...
She was lying on the ground with blood all around her.

I dropped the can and ran to pick her up from the ground into my arms.

"You... still remember me..."
She smiled as if she couldn't feel any pain.

"Of course I remember you...
Why would I forget?"
I said and teardrops fell out of my eyes.

"Don't cry...
Happy birthday... Jungkook...
Please... be happy without me.
I love you..."
She used her sleeve to wipe my tears dry.

I held her tight in my arms and cried in the middle of the road.

I can still remember how she exerted her last breath to say those words to me before she fell asleep.
Deep sleep.

The cake.
It was smashed.
But it was still sealed in the box.
I held it tight in my hands at the hospital praying that she'll wake up.
But no.
She didn't.

[21st birthday]
She never came back.
I never tasted her cake again.
I never received any letters or cards from her anymore.

"If I didn't hurt her, would she have not transferred school?
Would that accident not have happened?"

I sat alone on my sofa at home swiping through the photos of me and her through my phone.

"We were so happy together..."

Then I clicked on a new inbox in my email.
It was a video attachment.
It was... her?

I opened it and it was a video of herself.

"Jungkook, if you are seeing this now, I would have probably become an angel.
I didn't actually transfer school.
I went overseas to treat my illness.
I'm filming this now so that just in case I can't make it until your 21st birthday...
At least I still have this video as the last time I'll wish you a happy birthday.
Don't worry! I'll make sure I get to give you a cake personally for your 20th birthday!
Though there's one thing I need to confess.
I actually knew that new girl in out class has feelings for you and I told her to get close to you so that even if I'm not around, she'll take good care of you.
I know it's selfish but I just wanted you to be happy...
I really didn't expect her to be dating someone else...
I'm sorry if I hurt you.
I just wanted you to be happy.
Seeing you smile was what made me forget about all my pain.
So please be happy even without me.
You're 21 now. A grownup man.
Happy birthday, Jungkook~"
She ended off the video near tears.

Then I realised she was wearing the same set of clothing she wore on the day when that accident happened.
It was filmed on the day the accident happened...

"I'm sorry I didn't cherish you..."
I cried as I rewatched the video over and over again wondering if I will hear this voice wishing me a happy birthday next year.

Then I realised, it's never going to happen.

"She's never coming back."
