Unleashing The Lies

40. Surprise Party!

BTS Household

Narrator's POV

Yoongi had finished making Hwan's gift and was now downstairs helping everyone. They had just finished the preparations and plopped down on the couch. Each one of them was exhausted. After all, they had been at it for nearly 2 hours.

Hobi turned to Rosa and said, "Thank you so much for coming early. We needed the help." Rosa smiled back and said, "Don't thank me! You don't consider me your friend? I'm really hurt and disappointed Hoseok..." Everyone laughed and reassured Rosa that she was like family to them at this point.

They decided to rest for a while before going to change. Just as they were about to go and rest, Jimin texted them that they were 10 minutes away from the house. Everyone except Rosa quickly ran to their rooms and got dressed. While the others were dressing up, Rosa went out to move her bike and hide it somewhere.

Hwan's POV

I can't shake off the feeling that Jimin and Namjoon hyung are acting weird and hiding something from me. I've been watching them since we arrived at the theater. They've been constantly giving each other looks. Even right now, I can see Namjoon hyung glancing at me and Jimin hyung every few minutes.

I sigh to myself and look out of the window. It felt like I was forgetting something. Something very important. But it did not matter for the most important thing right now was Daniel Krasinski and finding Mom. I felt a pang of guilt. It has been nearly 1 year since Mom left me.

I still haven't been able to find even a single clue which would lead me to her. But I'm sure that Daniel Krasinski is going to be very helpful in this matter. It's an inner gut feeling that the Daniel Krasinski matter is not as simple as it looks.

I felt a hand gently shake my shoulder. I turned to see that we had reached home. Namjoon hyung asked, "What happened Hwan? Why are you so lost? Come on. We reached." I snapped out of my thoughts and got out of the car.

Namjoon and Jimin hyung stayed behind me. I turned to them and raised my eyebrows at their weird behavior, "Why are you standing behind me? And you've been acting way too weird since we went to the theater-"

Jimin hyung cut me in between and said, "Hwan, let's talk inside." I nodded and walked towards the door. The house was eerily quiet. I opened the door and walked in, it was completely dark. I turned back and saw that Namjoon and Jimin hyung were not behind me. I was full on alert mode now. I carefully walked towards the living room calling out everyone's names one by one.

My heart was beating like crazy. I took a deep breath and stepped into the living room when the lights turned on suddenly and everyone shouted, "Happy Birthday, Hwan!" Rosa, Jin, Hobi, Jimin, TaeTae, Namjoon, Kookie hyungs and Uncle Yoongi were standing in front of me wearing birthday caps and smiling at me.

I fell back onto my butt due to the yelling. My eyes were widened in surprise. I was breathing in short gasps. I was shocked to the core. I had completely forgotten my birthday! They remembered it. My eyes welled up with tears.

TaeTae hyung came forward and stretched his hand towards me. I smiled and accepted his hand. I dusted off my clothes after standing up and smiled at them trying not to cry, blinking away my tears. All of them came forward and hugged me tight. I couldn't describe the feeling of warmth that spread throughout my whole body. A feeling I thought I would never experience. The feeling of having a family. A family who loves you more than anyone.

I couldn't help it. The tears started rolling down my cheeks. Everyone broke out of the hug and smiled at me. I tried to speak but couldn't. The crying wasn't stopping. All the things that had happened in the last few weeks pushed my emotions out. I kept rubbing my hands over my eyes. Jin hyung came forward and hugged me tight. I continued crying in his chest. He rubbed my back and murmured soothing words. Once again everyone came forward and hugged again.

We remained like that until I managed to stop crying. We broke out of the hug. I had the largest smile I could ever have on my face. I immediately started bowing to all of them and saying thank you. Hobi hyung stopped me, "Hwan, we are your family. It is our duty and right to celebrate your birthday. Stop saying thank you!" I nodded with a smile.

"Now can we please cut the cake? It looks so tasty!" said Jimin hyung with a pout pointing towards the fresh sweet cream cake. My face lightened up upon seeing the cake. After all, it's my favorite cake flavor. Rosa came from behind and placed a birthday cap on my head. I whispered to her, "You told them about the flavor, right?" She did not reply and just gave a smile before pulling me towards the cake.

I cut the cake while they sang the Happy Birthday song. After cutting the cake we sat down for dinner. All of my favorite dishes were prepared as well as ordered. After dinner, BTS performed for me. Three songs with choreography. They performed my favorite songs ; On, Spring Day and Idol.

This was the best gift they could've given me. I thought this was my gift but, boy, I was wrong. All of them had individual gifts for me. Before I could say anything to reject the gifts, Kookie hyung had gone to my room and put the gifts in my room.

We sat down and played games till late into the night. Finally, the party was over. Rosa gathered her things and hugged all of us before leaving. Uncle Yoongi asked her to stay and leave tomorrow. She refused and gave me a look. I immediately told Uncle Yoongi that she has to work early tomorrow.

The look she gave me meant that she had a job. We bid Rosa a goodbye and went back to our rooms. I was exhausted. I laid down in my bed and saw the gifts placed on my desk. I wanted to open them but was too tired to get out of bed. And at last I decided to open them tomorrow. It took me less than a minute to fall asleep.
