13: Happy Birthday

I woke up to Jiyeon still sleeping soundly beside me. I can't help but admit that it's so hard to pretend to like Naeun.

Naeun is great, she's pretty, she's a nice person and she's not like her social climber friends.

Her hobbies are unique and interesting but even if it seems like she's the perfect girl to date, there's one thing that's wrong about her.

She's just not Jiyeon.

Naeun loved me when I'm Christian but Jiyeon loved me for who I really am.

She loves me as myself, Park Jimin, her weird clingy best friend.
But there is only one problem.
She does love me but probably only as a best friend.

It's not hard to love Jiyeon. Although I never tell her, she's beautiful even if she wears the crappiest clothes, she's still beautiful.

But beauty isn't everything, her personality is everything, she's so fun to be with and I don't want to be with anyone else.

It's just that, I don't want her to treat me differently if I told her I liked her.
She might think weird about me so I guess I have to just keep on pretending to like Naeun just to be still close with Jiyeon.

I removed the strands of hair from her face and it revealed her cute sleeping face. Her cheeks quite puffy in the morning making her look like a cute mochi.

I poked her cheek and smiled in relief when she didn't wake up despite me touching her squishable cheeks.

I looked at my phone that was stuck under my butt and when I looked I saw the date.

February 19.

Oh my god!

It's Jiyeon's birthday! I couldn't even find her a gift!

At least it's only 5:00 am, school is still two hours away. Good thing she's a heavy sleeper.

I slowly left the bed and ran downstairs only to find her mom already awake preparing something in the kitchen.

"Mrs. Im! I'm in a terrible crisis! I completely forgot that today was Jiyeon's birthday! I didn't get her anything Mrs. Im!", I said while clearly panicking and I was nervously sweating.

Her mom just laughs at me and then says as she hands me a piece of paper, "Here, mix the ingredients for the birthday cake while I cook her favorite seafood pancakes."

"Ohhhhhh! Thank you Mrs. Im! You're the best", I said as I grabbed the paper from her hand and started gathering the ingredients said in the instructions.

When I basically got everything, the flour, the eggs, the butter and etc.

I started mixing the ingredients with great enthusiasm and preciseness to make a great cake for Jiyeon.

An hour passed and finally I have the cake, I went and put it in the freezer to cool it down quick so that it will cool down so that I could just frost it over when suddenly Jiyeon came in with a red blouse and black pants making me almost drop the cake.

"Awww Jiyeon dear, you look lovely", her mother said and damn was she right.

"What are the two of you doing?", she asked and I started to nervously sweat again and her mom just blurts out, "Happy Birthday my Jiyeonie!"

"Mom! Seaweed Pancakes! You're the best!", she said as she grabbed the plate and started chowing down on the food making me chuckle.

I quickly went to the back of the kitchen and frosted the cake then I added some candles.

Then I went up to Jiyeon with the cake singing Happy Birthday and her face instantly lit up.

"Don't light them, I don't really believe in wishes when you blow the candle", she said and she was definitely different.

I smiled and handed the cake to her and she asked, "Where did you get that cake?"

"Ohhh, Jiyeon, Jimin baked that for you as his gift to you", her mom said making me blush in embarassment as Jiyeon chuckled at the thought.

Jiyeon put down the cake and she hugged me and said, "Awwww, you're such a big baby, don't be embarassed, I love it, promise!"

I looked at her and smiled then I sat on the couch with her with the cake then I took pictures of her.
Gosh, she was beautiful.

For the first time in ever, I posted the pictures on my account in instagram.

Jiyeon smiled as she saw the post then she said, "Awww, you only posted on your account when it was me! You're the best bestie!"

She hugged me making me feel warm inside and she hugged me back but not long after we started a food fight with the cake but I made sure none of the furniture was stained so I was just covered in cake and the butter frosting.

Jiyeon just laughed at me while her dad who just came out said, "Aish! Park Jimin, you go get showered so that both of you can go to school."

I was going upstairs when her dad approached me along the way and he said, "You know Jimin, if you two weren't best friends, I'd have you two married, you're the only person who can deal with my daughter, I can't even deal with her."

I just chuckled and went upstairs and went in the shower with good thoughts.

But then yet again, I remembered that me and Jiyeon still had the Eros chocolate plan.

I still have to be stuck with two months of finishing that chocolate.

She's clearly deeply in love with Jeon Jungkook. What can I do? He's perfect and he fits all the requirements to be her ideal type.

I turned off the shower and I dried my hair then I grabbed the towel and went to Jiyeon's room.

Then I went to the side of her closet where I keep my backup clothes and then I put them on.

My phone dinged showing notifications and I clicked into them and I instantly frowned at the sight.

She just friendzoned me.

Again.

How can I ever tell her.
