It's Saturday, and jisung excitedly gets off from the bed in the hope of being greeted with a birthday wishes. Unlike those years, he didn't expect anything from anyone. He was alone and had no friends, so from whom would he be getting birthday wishes? Nobody, but except Chan hyung.
However, since he has been living with his old man, Lee Minho. Maybe he expects something at least a special meal from him? Yes. Nothing much, thinking about those bunch of chocolates he gets from minho days before, that's already enough for him.
All he waits and wants is a birthday wish from minho, and he'll be more than happy.
He took a quick shower, brushing his teeth. Later, after he was done with that wearing casual clothes. He walked out of his room to the stairs slowly. There, he saw minho sitting on the couch , grabbing a cup of coffee in his hand while he scrolled his phone.
Jisung with a grin, he walked towards minho and greeted, "Good morning, hyung." he smiled. "Good morning," minho greeted too, but without averting his gaze from the phone, he scrolled. " You wake up early again today," jisung said.....
"I always do, kiddo," answered minho . He then took a sip from his coffee, "Right," jusung agreed. His pursed his lip thinking and waiting for minho to say something.....
Jisung sat there still, thinking about it like a child who needed a birthday wish from anyone, or else he'd have a bad moon the whole day. However, minho hasn't wished him. Seems like minho doesn't even remember or doesn't bother to wish.....hah!
While jisung is busy wondering in his mind, a ringing was heard, and it was coming closely from minho's phone. Jisung turned, looking at the ringing phone on minho's hand. His eyes moved from the phone to minho as minho picked up the call and put the phone on his ear.
"Hello?"
Minho answered the call, and jisung was listening to him though he obviously couldn't hear the other caller. He was literally looking like a kid watching his father. I mean, minho, attending an important call.
"Today?"
Minho asked the caller, attentively listening to the caller response. "Okay, I'll be there," said minho, which made jisung curious. " No problems, I'm available today." minho replied. He hums lastly before he ends the call.
Minho exhales, jisung looked at him, blinking repeatedly,
"What's wrong, hyung?" Jisung asked, " Nothing serious, I got a call from my secretary informing me about the visitation of a business partner from another company. He'll be there in an hour and I have to go and meet him"
"Oh,"
Jisung simply uttered, "So, you'll have to leave now?"
Asked jisung, minho nods, and replied, "Yes, I have to."
He then stood up from there with the empty cup he took from the table he left and went to put the cup in the kitchen sink.
Jisung watches him walk upstairs a few minutes later. Minho came downstairs in a suit , a car key on his hand, and phone on the other . Jisung sees minho coming towards him and says,
"You haven't had breakfast. Go have it. I have already made them. Eat now before you'll forget, " he told before leaving.
Jisung blankly watches minho leave. That's it! Is that what he had to say? Jisung processed. Minho was already out of sight and outside the house. "Did he forget my birthday?" Jisung muttered silently, almost pouting his lip. "Old man!" He muttered, sulking.
Jisung, hmmp! He stomped to the kitchen, walking to the cabinet, holding a big cup. He served himself a coffee on his huge white cup. He went to the refrigerator and saw a cheesecake. His eyes lit up after seeing it, coincidence! He loves cheesecake! And he was sure minho doesn't know about it, he hasn't told him about it.
For a while, he forgot about his sulkiness and enjoyed eating the cheesecake happily. At least I got cheesecake! He told himself. "Cheesecake is my moodmaker," he uttered cutely while he continued to eat his moodmaker (ha!)
But then, as times passed and hours went by , he began to get bored , staying at home alone that's also on his birthday , sad!As a studious person, he is. A quick thought about studying came to his mind since his exams are near in a few months. He is determined to graduate with good grades and enroll in a good university. And how did we end up talking about studies? Anyways.
However, just for today, he betrayed his studies and decided to spend his day watching television. It was 1 pm in the afternoon, and he went to his room, grabbing a tiny duvet carrying it downstairs and putting it on the couch.
"I should get something to eat while I watch the television," he muttered. A candle light up in his head, and he ran to his room, walking to the table near the shelves of books , where the basket of chocolates was kept. Yes, he still has those chocolates. It was a bunch, and he hadn't eaten them all. He rather saves his beautiful and cute teeth just like an old man said, or he'd be toothless if he eat them every day.
He took the biggest one out of the other and headed back downstairs. He tugged under the duvet, sitting comfortably on the couch, and began to watch ( anime suggestion? Cute one just like jisung).
An hour passed, jisung was slowly getting tired, and his chocolate was long gone . The wrapper was already asleep in the bin empty. In no times, jisung fell asleep on the couch while the anime was still playing on the screen.
Thirty more minutes , someone's footstep was heard. It was Lee minho. He entered inside and noticed the quietness of the house. He walked further inside, looking for someone , but he was nowhere to be seen. As he headed closer to the living room, he heard an unfamiliar noise. It was coming from the television.
"So, he left the television on again," minho muttered.
He went taking the remote to switch it off but instead saw a sleeping squirrel sleeping soundly with a duvet barely covering him. "Again?" Minho uttered quietly. Then chuckles, "Kiddo," he muttered.
He let jisung sleep there and left to his room first to change into casual clothes. A few minutes later, he came downstairs and immediately went to the kitchen. He checked the refrigerator and smiled shortly. He then closed it and began to cook a nice meal. It's been an hour since he started to cook, and it was almost 5 pm in the evening. And he was done with the special male for the birthday boy.
He went back to see jisung if he was awake, and at the right time, jisung just woke up sitting straight up on the couch rubbing his eyes dazely and yawns.
"Good morning,kiddo."
Minho greeted, jisung blinked twice , his hand which was rubbing his eyes stayed like that still as he try to proccesed.
"Morning?" Jisung asked confusingly, "already?" He asked, feeling upset.
Minho nods. "Yes, it's 15th September today. Why? " minho told. Jisung, look sad. He was disappointed.
"Don't worry, it's Sunday. You don't have to go to school. You can sleep more if you want. " minho said, smiling......
Jisung stayed silent and upset. He could not believe he spent his birthday yesterday alone, with only watching television and sleep. Nobody wished him. Neither there was anyone with him.
Minho could see the sadness in jisung eyes , he could not help but hold a smile. Jisung actually believed him? How cute.
"What time is it?" Asked, jisung slowly. "Hm? It's-it's 8 am. " minho answers , still joking.
"Okay,"
Jisung replied quietly. He stood up, taking the duvet with him, and went upstairs to his room. While minho waits downstairs, later jisung comes back, jisung changes into another clothes , and he walks to the door in the direction,
Minho stood up and asked," Where are you going?"
"Out."
Jisung told.
"Out , where?"
Asked minho.....
"To meet chan hyung"
Jisung answered,
"Why? For what?"
Minho asked again, wondered.
"I have a friend whose birthday is today, I'm gonna meet chan hyung for that,"
Minho was about to speak, but stop, wow, he thought. Nobody wishes his birthday. No one remembered his birthday, but there he goes out just to wish someone a birthday wish.
"Don't go,"
Told minho....
Jisung looked at him confusedly.
"Why not?"
"Cuz it's not your friend's birthday yet, it's still yours . So hurry up, stop being upset. I was joking to you. It's not morning yet, nor is it 15th September. It's only half passed five in the evening, and -"
"You were joking?" Jisung blankly asked, minho slowly nods,
The disappointment, if not being able to celebrate his birthday, disappeared, but he was sad because of minho's joke. He thought minho didn't remember his birthday.
Jisung's eyes get glossy, happy that it's still his day but upset because he was being prank on his own day. He sulked again. He looked at minho with cuteness of anger and said, "Why did you do that?"
Minho chuckles , "Sorry," as he walked towards jisung, " I just wanted to prank you." Said minho, " you were sleepy peacefully and leave the television on alone, and then I just decided to joke with you , but you know it's good to prank on the first year of adulthood" said minho, how lame those last statement are.
"Hm,"
Jisung simply hums,
" Look , it's your birthday. How can you be upset and sulky like this? Aren't you happy to finally be an adult? Or do you still want to be a little kiddo?"
" I'm just mad at you,"
Jisung states......
"Why would you be mad at me?"
Minho asked, frowning his brow....
"You lied to me, I thought my birthday had actually passed, and you didn't even -"
Jisung stopped his own sentence.....
"I didn't what?"
Asked minho.......
"Nothing."
Jisung replied and walked away.....
Minho pulled his wrist immediately, stopping him from going...
Jisung abruptly stumbled back and fell on minho's chest as minho held his hand firmly. Jisung looked up slowly, blinking cutely......... looking at each other's faces.
Suddenly, a weird feeling rises up in jisung's chest, his heat beat louder, but he is sure nobody can heart it. It's just how he feels.
First day of being eighteen and already feeling like this? Weird.
Jisung realised and instantly stepped back a little, minho interrupted the unrealized moments, " Don't get upset, I cook special meal for you. You should eat it . And get those sulkiness off your face, it look cute, but not nice on you. "
Jisung's faces went red. What do you mean by that? Flirting right on my face! Am I not just a kiddo? Stop. Shrugging off his thoughts, he nodded and replied. " Of course, I will."
"Come."
Minho dragged him to the dining table, letting jisung take a seat, minho, then went to serve food for jisung. Lots of delicious looking food, some of the items are new which he haven't had before.
"Woah! Hyung. You made this all?"
Jisung was amazed.......
"Yeah."
Minho uttered.....
"Omg! Thank you."
.
.
.
.
.
.
"What is this?"
Jisung asked, looking at the gift minho. He gives him curiously.
"See it by yourself."
Told minho.....
"Can I see it now?"
Jisung asked excitedly.......
Minho nods, and jisung begins to unwrap the gift excitedly, keen to know what it is inside. Also , minho was waiting to see jisung's reaction. The gift was fully unwrap. Looking at the box cover, jisung was shocked to see. His eyes stuck , looking at it.
He slowly looked up at minho and uttered, "Seriously...?"
"Yes..."
"... a m-mobile phone..?"
Jisung could barely utter,
"Yes, you need it, "
Told minho.....
"But th-this is expensive!..."
Uttered jisung......
Minho shrugged,
"It's not, I wanted to get you something else. But I'm not sure if you'll accept that, so maybe next time, " said minho....
"If it's something more expensive than this, then I'll probably not gonna accept it , hyung. This is already a lot. "
"No worries, now you can use this at any time than that one. It would be easier for you if something happens , you can contact anyone or me, " minho said......
Jisung pouts overwhelmingly, his eyes getting soft , like he was trying to hold back his happy emotions, so he immediately hug minho.
" Thank you so much, hyung,"
He sobs , his cheek on his minho's chest.
"Thank you so so much for the gift,"
Minho returned the hugs,
"Most welcome, kiddo,"
Minho chuckles.....
"But there's something more."
Tell minho....
Jisung head jolted, looking at minho,
"What? There's more?"
"Wait a minute,"
Minho left to get something. Later, minho came back with a cake on his hand, and jisung's eyes lit up, shocked, not expecting anything like cakes and all. He was only waiting for a birthday wish, but these......
Jisung's mouth opened, overwhelmed by all these acts of minhos. Never have he ever got a birthday celebration like this.
He was so touched by these all. Minho comes towards him, holding the cake in front of jisung and saying,
"Happy birthday , jisung. Now you have got the right to forbid me from calling you kiddo. "
Minho laughs.....
But minho immediately stopped laughing when he saw jisung crying. He immediately put the cake on the table, worrying and confused why jisung cried.
"Hey, hey. What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Minho asked concerning.....
"Look here" minho lift jisung chin,
"Are you upset that I won't be calling you kiddo anymore?"
He asked, " Don't worry, you'll always be a kid to me. I'm still older than you. Stop crying, omg! A literal kid,"
Jisung sniffled, and tears were slowly falling down his cheek.
"Wipe those tears, kid, it's not nice to cry on your birthday."
Said minho and jisung hurriedly wipe his tears...
" I'm-I'm sorry...I'm just happy and overwhelmed by these"
Jisung told....." I love these," he chuckles..
"Thank you."
"No more, thank you. Cut the cake now,"
Said minho.....
Jisung smiled, "Of course," He putt the gift on his hand on the table,
"Make a wish first"
Told minho, jisung closed his eyes and wished, he smile opening his eyes and grabbed the knife, and began to cut the cake. While minho sang a birthday song, with lines. " Happy 18th birthday, han jisung. Congratulations on getting a year older. "....
Jisung could not help laugh a little at that......
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"You know, people usually get drunk on their adult birthday."
"What! I'm not letting you do that! You are a kid still!"
Jisung laughs.
"Chill, I'm just joking. I don't want to drink anyways. "
"Good that you don't want to, or I'm gonna throw you out of the house," said minho....
Jisung looks at him, pouting......
" You can't do that."
"What makes you think I can't?"
"You just won't do that,"
"How can you be so sure?"
"I'm not sure, but I know you won't kick me out,"
Minho suppressed his chuckles, "Okay, sure."
"It's getting late. You should go to bed,"
Jisung shook his head,
"No."
"Why not. It's late!"
Jisung shook his head again,
" I don't want to."
"So do you want to stay here, watching TV all night?"
Minho asked....looking at a sleepy jisung....
Jisung nods,
"Yes,"
"You are gonna sleep anyways -"
Minho told.....right, after that, he saw jisung already closing his eyes, minho sighed and shook his head, "So fast," he muttered.
He lets jisung sleep like that for a while since he won't be going to sleep anytime soon if minho wakes him up. After a little more minutes. When jisung has fallen into deep sleep. Minho carefully carried him to his room, making jisungg sleep comfortable, wishing him a "good night" before switched off the light and left, went to his own room.
