Y/N

"It was nearly 5 years ago!" Seokjin and I sat down at the verandah, holding each other's hands, with tears falling from his cheeks.

"I was 23 or 24 maybe" he started telling me his story, "I was music enthusiastic at the college and loved playing the guitar for everyone. Intending to hand me his company after him, my father forced me to have a degree in Economics. Although that was not what I wanted to pursue. I wanted to learn music and make it my career.

After graduation, my father called me and said that now it's my time to handle the company. But I denied it. I told him that I didn't want to handle the business, but I wanted to pursue music further. At first, he tried to control his anger and told me politely that since I'm the older son of the Kim family, I've to look after the business further. But I denied it again. I told him that I won't do something that doesn't make me happy. And that's when he asked me to leave the house, the Kim family since I was useless.

Me and my younger brother, Taehyung, were close. He begged my father not to kick me out of the house, but all his tries went in vain. At last, I assured Taehyung that I'll be alright, and asked him to never forget me, since my father prohibited him to be in touch with me. My mother also begged me to accept what my father was saying.

"Eomma, Business is not what I want to do. Even if I fail in the music field, I still won't accept it! My life is my life, and no other person is allowed to make decisions for me!" I had told her and left the house, with my mother and brother crying bitterly.

After leaving the house, I first looked for a job and ended up meeting the owner of this coffee shop, and he told me that I should first become stable in income, and then I should start auditioning for companies. And that's how I ended up like this." after he ended, he couldn't stop himself and burst into tears.

"I miss Eomma and Taehyung!" saying this, he hugged me tightly, crying. I was shocked at first, but then I understood that he was keeping all these secrets within himself till now.

I hugged him back too while caressing his hair, "It's okay! Everything will be fine soon!"

While going back home, I couldn't help but think about him.

Our story was actually, same. Both of us were forced to do something out of our will, but the thing is, he didn't give up his dream, but I did.

He was right anyway. No one has the right to use us for their profit. His dream was to pursue music, and he was slowly moving towards it. But for me, I was still there, getting disrespected every day, yet nothing to say.

When he held me and cried like a baby, I realised that what he needed was healing, just like me. A person who could heal him.

"Ask Mr Kim if he wants to have the meeting today," I told my manager the next day, as the weather was good, and I also postponed the meeting the other day.

Kim Taehyung agreed and asked me to come to his place for the meeting. I went there and found him sitting quietly in the presentation room.

"I think we should start the meeting!" I asked him, as he came back from his world of thoughts.

"Oh yes!"

The meeting went smoothly, and after it ended, everyone walked out of the room, but he sat there, still thinking about something.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?" I asked him, shaking him a bit.

"No... nothing"

"You can tell me! I'm your friend, right?"

He made a sad face and suddenly burst into tears, "Today's my brother's birthday...but I can't wish him. I'm so unlucky!!"

At first, I thought that I should tell him that where his brother was, but then I thought that what if his father came to know about this? He would have gulp down Taehyung!

"You will soon meet your brother!" I placed my hand on his shoulder."Don't worry!"

I walked out of the room, leaving Taehyung dumbfounded, cause he was wondering how the hell he would meet his brother when he doesn't even know whether his hyung was alive or not.

"Drop me at the coffee shop...fast!" I instructed my driver. It was his birthday but he didn't tell me last night. I wanted to wish him so bad that I couldn't wait anymore.

As soon as the car stopped at the coffee shop, I rushed inside but was shocked to see that he wasn't there.

"Where's Seokjin?" I asked the other cashier.

"He took a leave today!" he answered.

I thought of going to his house and giving him a surprise, but at the same time, I didn't want to disturb him. What if he was out to celebrate his birthday with his friends?
I called him to wish but he didn't pick.

So, I went back to my bloody hell office.

~~~~~Time skip~~~~~

That day went very hard because we all were preparing for the upcoming project we were having with Good For Life Enterprises.

I laid down on my bed with a deep sigh. I was tired to the point that my feet refused to move.

Laying down, I started thinking about him. Was he okay? Was he celebrating his birthday? Was he missing me? Should I go to him? Or should I not?

To be honest, I wasn't even able to move a bit more, but if it was for him...I could run without hesitation.

But the thing was, it was a late night. I didn't have any strength left and I didn't want to bother him.

Suddenly my phone started ringing.

Icchinie Kocchinie Seokjinnie♥️

I picked up the call.

"Hey!" his voice sounded like he slept for a long time.

"Yes?" I asked, pretending to not know that it was his birthday.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing. Just lying down. Why?"

"Would you like to accompany me? I'm feeling lonely!"

"Sure!"

I heard his giggle on the other side. Maybe he thought why I answered so fast without hesitation, cause it was late night. But little did he know how much I was missing him.

I took my phone and dialled a number.

"Is it Yoo Bakers and Confectioners?"

"Yes, mam!"

"Book the most beautiful cake for me! I'm coming to pick it up!"

"But Mam, it's late and we are getting closed!"

"Please, please! I'm ready to pay double! It's the birthday of a very special person, so I need it now!"

"Ok ok mam... should I put a birthday message or name on the cake?"

"Just write, 'I am here, always' "
