The feeling of your lover's lips planting feather light kisses on your exposed back woke you up from your slumber. His lips traveled from the bottom of your spine up until he reached where your shoulder meets your neck. A sleepy moan escaped you as he nipped at the mark he left there last night, grazing it with his teeth before lavishing it with his tongue.

"Happy Birthday love," he whispered in the crook of your neck. "It's time to get up. We have a big day ahead of us."

You turned over on your back, wrapping your arms around his broad shoulders and brought him in for a kiss. "Jae, I love you with all my heart," you whispered against his lips as you pulled away. "You love me too, don't you?"

"I do," Jaebeom sighed before kissing you languidly; he pulled away when he felt you start to deepen it.

"Then why are you waking me up at the crack of dawn on my birthday?" you whined and hit his chest painfully. "I deserve a sleep in after what you did to me last night."

He laughed and it immediately brought a smile to your face. "After what I did to you?" he smirked in question. "From memory, you refused to tap out. So I only gave you what you wanted. I accept no complaints."

"Hey, it's my birthday," you pointed out the obvious. "You're supposed to be nice to me."

"I am being nice," Jae scoffed. "I have this whole day planned out for your birthday. So please get up and get ready. You don't want to keep Buck waiting do you?"

You perked up at hearing your favourite pick up's name. "You got him back?" you asked incredulously. Jae ended up buying the pick up truck they used during filming Verse 2 from the company after the two of you fell in love with it. Unfortunately, because of its age, it spent more time in his friend's garage getting a tune up than in your driveway.

"I did," Jaebeom said proudly; smile widening as he witnessed you leap up from the bed and made your way to your bathroom. "See you in the car then?"

"Yep."

When you finally hauled ass into your pick up, Jaebeom had your favourite coffee from your favourite cafe already waiting. You couldn't help the tears that streamed down your face, always amazed at how he remembered the little things. He kissed your face silly until you finally started laughing and made your way to your first destination.

As soon as you arrived at your first stop, you almost burst into tears again. You noticed that the road started to look familiar as soon as you spotted the massive oak tree by the river. Jaebeom drove down a bit longer and parked as soon as you discovered the familiar wooden park bench that overlooked the river.

"You didn't," you said, looking at him as you tried to hold your tears at bay.

Jaebeom grabbed your hands and intertwined it with his. "I did. Do you remember this place?"

"As if I could forget," you scoffed. "It's our bench."

"It is," he smiled; getting out of the car and helping you out. He walked you over to sit next to him on the bench. "I remember sitting here reading my favourite book," Jaebeom started to recall. "Then you came and sat next to me, crying your eyes out. I tried my best to ignore you because I was trying to read my book and I wasn't sure if you just needed to be left alone, but ultimately I had to ask if you were okay."

"I was having such a terrible day," you recalled as you stared out into the water. "In truth, I really did want to be left alone. That's how I'd always been — just wanting to cry it out and then picking myself back up again. Then you spoke to me and asked if I was okay and I realised that it was all I ever needed. Just for someone to ask if I was okay. After that day, you already became someone so special to me."
