This year, they went to celebrate at their Yu-jun's Grandparents house, their was streamers in baby blue and navy blue, on the walls and some on the ceiling, taped by clear tape. Misun, arrived early to make Yu-jun his birthday cake once again, it was freshly made, she made it with homemade frosting that was dyed a pastel green was all over the cake, their was a chocolate made volcano with red frosting at the top acting as lava, and three small colored figures of dinosaurs on the top, "Misun, you went all out, again," he hugged her as entered the kitchen, where he saw more decor, "you didn't need to do this again," Misun dismissed whatever Taehyung said, she loved celebrating little Yu-jun's Birthday, Mihyuk is so ecstatic celebrating with his only friend, plus, it warms he heart on how close Mihyuk's has gotten with Yu-jun. 

"I will always make him a cake, I wing stop until I die," she gave out the hyperbole but Taehyung knew that she meant that whole heartedly. "I love you guys, plus, your my best friend, Tae," she lightly shaked his soft hair, ruffling up a bit as joke, "I'm basically Yu-jun's Auntie, I will always put him first—obviously my son will be my top priority— but so will Yu-jun." 

"Oh Taehyungie," his grandmother slowly walked to get her hug for, her grandson, "you've raised Yu-jun so well these years," she held her grandson close by, "Your dad, your mom and I , are proud of what you've done for him. I know, if I wasn't here, things would be different. Your mom and dad would make space for both of you, you would have more money, and I just want you to know that your mama," she referred herself in third person, she knew that she will always be Taehyung's mama, "am truly sorry for taking up space." 

"Don't say that, me and my son, are getting by. Plus, we're fine, I do wish I could give him more but I still have years to make it up for him. Don't worry about it, okay?" He held her close again, he wish that his mama wouldn't see herself as a burden. 

"How about I give him an annual storytime?" She asked as he released her powerful hold on Taehyung,  "let me make it up to him, let mama take care of this one," she patted the young father's back.  "I know some good stories about Jeongguk," all he could do is watch her slowly walk away to find Yu-jun. 

"I hope you do have good stories about him, I want him to live him despite leaving us," hs grandmother turned around, "I understand, I did the same for your mother as well," she whispered as he went in the hunt for her grandson. 

Taehyung feels a slight relief that he didn't need to talk about Jeongguk this year.
