Another year meant another birthday had risen. It wasn't one of a special age or anything, just another year tallied onto your reputation. Supposedly it meant you were getting wiser but you failed to find the truth in this. You sighed heavily, stretching your arms over your head as you stirred within your shared bed.
Shared was Aterm you used loosely especially when you woke just as now, being the only one beneath the sheets. Frustration no longer washed over you at this. If anything a sense of pride did. Your boyfriend was hardworking and truly dedicated to his dreams. You always admired him for it - even if it meant waking in cold sheets.
Trying to not dwell on the matter, you kick off the blankets and manage to drag yourself onto your feet before making your way over to the bathroom. Before you could even think of making some tea you had to pee. As your boyfriend joked, you had to free up space for your beloved morning beverage.
Without so much as a second thought, you were on your way to the kitchen where your mug was yearning for you to fill it with some fresh tea. You had barely managed to start the kettle when you felt someone's arms wrapping around your waist from behind. Startled, you jump and hear a crack in your ear.
Only then do you turn around and realised you just slammed Hongjoong's jaw closed. He winces, hands caressing the area as he meets your apologetic gaze. "Happy birthday," he grumbles.
"You scared the shit out of me, Joong," you exclaim as you rush forward to replace his hand with your own. He takes the opportunity to instantly grab your waist. Pulling you against him, he pecks your lips before smiling at you with that beautiful expression of his.
"I wanted to surprise you," he informs delicately, chuckling slightly upon noticing the confusion on your features. "Yeah, it's amazing how difficult it is too disappear when you live with the person who you want to surprise. As soon as you fell asleep I went over to Seonghwa across the hall and have been waiting until I knew you'd be awake before reappearing."
"You are such a dork," the words fall from your lips in a joyful tone, "what did you get me for my birthday?" Once you ask this, your boyfriend emits a scoff before pulling you toward him for another kiss. This one follows through with a bit more of a loving intention, his teeth pulling on your bottom lip as he pulls away.
"Only what you asked me for, because I am the best boyfriend," he winks to emphasise the last point but this only strengthens your confusion and adds a possible element on concern. You couldn't recall asking for anything that out of the ordinary. Being another year you mainly just wanted him to keep loving you, meaning you just about had no idea what he was referring to.
He removes his hands from your waist for a moment, allowing for you to continue making your cup of tea as he watches in silence. Part of you wants to tackle him until you are given more insight, but you know how unsuccessful this would be.
The little annoyance in the shape of your boyfriend left the matter at this for the remainder of the day. He took you out for dinner following an entire day in the apartment watching crime shows due to the constant rain outside.
Your shared laughter at an exchanged joke was all that filled your home as you both arrived home long after the sun had gone down. You just wanted to kick off your heels and try to squeeze in another episode of your show with a full stomach, but it appeared Hongjoong had other plans.
He took his seat at your side, resting a hand on your thigh before meeting your gaze. You raised a brow, signalling you were listening whilst your hands made quick work at removing the bobby pins you had implemented.
