"열 여덟"
ASPEN AND TAEHYUNG SEEM TO FALL into normal routine over the next few days with only minor changes. For one, Taehyung enjoyed kissing, a lot. He enjoyed seeing the smile that crossed her lips whenever he peppered kisses over her face.
Some days, they would go out into the back and play with Yeontan or Taehyung would help Aspen build their indoor garden. She wanted to give Taehyung a hobby to focus on other than sitting in front of the TV all day. It seemed as though he liked it, watching the various seeds they had planted days before grow from the soil.
Everyday, his love for her grew and grew. He acknowledged that it was there, but he had no idea what it was. It didn't frighten him like other emotions did, it felt good, it felt right. His heart beat a little faster when he was around her. Her smile made him smile. Her laughter made him laugh.
Today was Jin's birthday and he was quick to invite Aspen and Taehyung to come over to celebrate. He was bringing all their friends together at his house and he wanted the others to meet Taehyung.
Wanting -no- desperately needing to get out of the house, Aspen agreed, though she was nervous about having Taehyung around all those people. He was still knew to this whole human thing and he wasn't well versed in interacting with people. The only people he's ever interacted with was Aspen and Jin. This could be good for him. Help Taehyung get out there more and grow more comfortable being around people.
The day of, Aspen explained to Taehyung that they'd be going out and immediately, the man scrambled off of the couch. "Really? Where are we going?" He always jumped at any chance to go outside. The reason didn't really matter all that much. "Are we going to the grocery store again?"
Aspen pet his head. "No, we aren't." Taehyung pouted, his shoulders slumping with disappointment. "It's Jin's birthday today. We're going over his house to celebrate." He perked up once more, his eyes showing with that sort of curiousity. "What is a birthday? I presume it has something to do with the day of one's birth."
"The anniversary of the day you were born, yes. Do you know your birthday?" If Taehyung didn't know what a birthday was, maybe he had no idea how old he was.
He shook his head. "My culture does not celebrate individual days of birth. Everyone ages at the same time towards the end of our 528 day year. I have lived 24 years." Though he would probably be much older in human years due to his planets years being longer.
Aspen figured that maybe they could decide a birthday for Taehyung just so he could experience what it was like to have a day dedicated to celebrating himself. She'd give him a birthday.
"Go upstairs and get dressed, okay?" She was already dressed as she had to go out and get Jin a gift. Taehyung didn't hesitate, he rushed upstairs to her room to grab some clothes to wear.
