JINYOUNG's POV :
thursday. it was thursday morning, 10AM. (y/n)'s birthday surprise and also the day i was gonna fix things with (y/n). the big day as the members would say. i was gonna patch things up between us no matter what.

she was so important to me.

i was already up and going, getting balloons, banners and decorations for her birthday surprise. ever since her parents passed, she has never been enthusiastic about her birthday so i want to make this one a birthday she'd never forget.

TEXT MESSAGE FROM YUGYEOM-SSI :
gyeom : hyung! we've convinced to come to the dance studio later in the day at 3PM!

yaaaahh~ you guys are the best! thank you x100!

gyeom : you owe us meat.

ㅇㅋ ㅇㅋ i know d(￣ ￣)

that gives me more than enough time to decorate the studio and some of the staff to be there to film it.

first, i need to choose a cake for her.
of course, i chose cookies n' cream as i knew bambam and her loved that flavour. they were cookies n' cream enthusiasts.

"please give me the prettiest cookies n' cream cake you have," i requested to the baker. she nodded.
i asked if i could draw a heart on it and to my surprise, she allowed me to.

"is this for your girlfriend?" she asked, clasping her hands together.

"y-yes.. we recently got into an argument and today's her birthday so i want to make sure it'll be the best birthday ever," i smiled, scratching the back of head shyly.

"she'll love it, especially when it's from such a handsome and great guy like you," she smiled motherly.

i bowed in thanks as i headed back to the dance studio.

(l/n) (y/n) you better like this cake, you idiot. i smiled to myself, imagining how beautiful she'd look as she sees the cake. food is her life, apparently.

Y/N's POV ;
the boys asked me to drop by at the dance studio later. although i denied it at first, they never stopes bugging me so i eventually gave in.

how important could it be that i had to be there physically? i sighed to myself.

i reached the building at 2:30PM and i waited for youngjae outside. i saw jinyoung running towards the building, he didn't bother making eye contact with me as he rushed into the doors.

although he was running at full speed, i managed to catch a glimpse of his face and i saw that it had icing at the side of his lips.

what's going on in the building? i asked, as i grabbed the handle of the door before a hand stopped me.

youngjae.

"yah! don't go in yet," he instructed. i raised my eyebrows in confusion. "just don't, okay?" he smiled. i nodded hesitantly.

what's he up to?

"why did you ask me to come here all of a sudden?" i asked, crossing my arms.

"w-well uh.." he stuttered.

"well?" i asked, hurrying him for a response.

"the staff called me and told me that you guys had a meeting. min told me that she called your phone multiple times but you never picked up," he explained.

she called? i never got the notification.. my phone must have been acting up again.

"ah.." i sighed.

meeting? could it be about the reality show got7 was gonna start filming next month? jia only told us we'd discuss it next week though.

suddenly youngjae put a blindfold over my eyes. i jumped in shock.

"yah what the hell are you doing-" i yelled.

"just trust me!" he laughed.

i hesitantly held his arm as he guided me into the building. i had no idea where we were going once i walked through the company's doors.

•••

"take off your blindfold." youngjae whispered.

i took it off and i couldn't believe what i was seeing.
i was in the dance studio, everything was beautifully decorated with jaebeom, mark, jackson, yugyeom and bambam standing there with their hands clasped together. jia, min and the rest of the staff were there too.

"whats going-"

jinyoung walked in the studio, holding a cake in his hands as everyone in the room sang me a happy birthday song. tears welled up in my eyes as jinyoung slowly walked towards me with a birthday cake.

"c-cookies n' cream," i managed to blurt out, sobbing. i had never seen a birthday cake for me in so long. the last time i had one was when i was 9 years old.

when the song ended, jinyoung told me to make a wish and blow out the candles.

i closed my eyes and clasped my hands together,
the fans and staff to accept me for jinyoung.

and with that, i blew out the candles as everyone around me clapped for me. jinyoung and i stood there, looking into each other's eyes.

yugyeom took the cake from jinyoung.

"(y/n).." he started as he took my hands in his.
"i'm so sorry. i'm sorry for not looking at things from your perspective during that time, and i'm sorry for being so insensitive," he caressed my hands with his thumb.

"i've done a lot of thinking and reflecting and i promise, i'm a better and improved jinyoung for you to love again."

without saying a word, i pulled him into an embrace. his scent lingered in my nose. i sobbed in his arms as he held me tightly.

an embrace i didn't even know i have longed for.

we pulled away from the embrace and he gently took my face closer to his, and his lips were on mine.

it felt like everyone and everything around us had stopped. at that moment, it was just him & i. it felt like time was frozen, and i was the one being held in his arms.

everything was magical.

he slowly pulled away followed by the words,

"(y/n), i love you so much. you don't know how much i've missed you."

everyone in the room clapped for us, cheering both of us on. "you idiot, planned this all for me," i chuckled in his arms as he gave me another long-wanted embrace.

suddenly, i was reminded that jia was in the room witnessing all of this. i instantly pulled away from the embrace and turned to meet jia's eyes.

i turned to look back at jinyoung, worried.

"she knows and she accepts." he smiled as jia smiled at us slightly. "jinyoung ah! make sure you also focus on your career!" jia reminded, laughing a little as everyone in the room chuckled.

the pain i had held in my heart foe two months instantly disappeared when he held me in his arms and all that filled my heart was forgiveness and love.
