Birthdays: Eighteen

Mood: Annoyed

*****

" Y/N. I'm so sorry I'm late ! I couldn't buy anything, but still... happy Valentine's day ! "

You looked at him emotionlessly. You wanted to smile and say that it was okay. But you didn't actually feel okay. It wasn't the first time he let you down. Not even the third or fourth time. You were cold and the heavy rain had found the way through your clothes. You really looked like a wet dog right now.

" You should be. Your chocolate got all wet. "

He smiled when you gave him the pretty little box. You would do this for him every Valentine's Day so he wouldn't have to buy chocolate for himself. Of course he had already received lots of presents from his girlfriends in his life. But you weren't part of that category, and you somehow knew that your valentine gift was always the most special to him. Just a nice reminder that you would always be around to annoy him. 

" Geez, Y/N. We really need to hook up with someone. I should find a boyfriend for you."

" You ? Well I'm not gonna let this happen.", you said with a laugh.

" Why ? Don't I know you better than anyone else ? I might even find your future husband."

" Forget it. I'm not getting married."

" Well I definitely am."

" And to who, smarty pants ?"

You could see him thinking for a few seconds.

" I'll just marry you !"

" Ew. Disgusting !"

He tried to get you in a kind of headlock and you tried to free yourself.

" Right, you're not cute or anything. And you snore. But you'll sure make a lot of money, so I take the bait.", he teased you with a grin.

" Yah Kyungsoo ! Get away from me you twerp !"

He laughed when he let go of you. You rolled your eyes, but also smiled. It had been a long time since you had played around like this.

Recently things were getting really serious for him since he was at the end of his trainee time, and he didn't even have time to date anymore. He would have his debut in a few months, still before his nineteenth birthday. You had barely seen him in the last weeks. It was always the same. He sent you texts like " I'm so sorry, but we're still practicing.", or " I'm in the middle of a recording. Next time maybe ? " Lately it was just things like photos of him in the studio or the practicing room or with fangirls or pretty idols without any text, as if it would count as an excuse. You could have puked when you saw those. But now he was here and you would finally tell him about your parents who were driving you crazy because they just didn't want to accept your plans to go for an artist career although you loved it with all your heart and soul. You really couldn't wait to talk to him about this right now.

" What are we waiting for ? Let's go to Tommen's and have that hot chocolate deluxe. We didn't do this for an eternity ! ", you suggested. " You pay ! "

You wanted to pull him with you, but he just clenched his teeth and looked at you guiltily.

" What now ? "

" I actually have to be back at the studio in about an hour. I just wanted to see you since it's... "

" ...Freaking valentine's day. "

" We're going to find some other day for this. "

" It's late. Who could possibly think that you'd be able to concentrate on singing or dancing at this time ? "

" That's not it. It's more like a party, but it's still important since lots of Sunbaes are going to be there. As you know my most important weapon is my social network."

Sure. One of those Idol parties again. Maybe you'd really puke.

" You know what ? Just forget it. "

" Do you think I'm doing this on purpose ? It's called work ! "

" Oh really ? What exactly do you call work ? Spending half of your lifetime with all those walking sixpacks and doll faces, drinking champaign ? Smiling into the camera ? Or do you mean your real passion, writing songs, what you actually wanted to do from the beginning ? I was the one who helped you write your very first song ! If you even forget about your best friend, then I don't know you anymore. "

" I didn't forget about you. But this is the biggest chance in my life. It's way more than a few pathetic notes on hello kitty notepaper. And maybe you forgot that friends should be happy for each other ! I didn't judge you either when you got accepted into art academy, which is two hours away from here. I was... - "

" I refused that bloody place ! "

His eyes widened as if he hadn't understood you.

" What ? "

You looked away, not saying a word.

" Is it... because of your parents ? "

" No. Not because of them. "

You held eye contact for some seconds, but then turned around and just walked away, leaving him alone in the rain.
