Catherine's POV

Tomorrow is my birthday. I know Bridget has planned something, but she's kept it hidden well. The past month has gone by quickly. Hoseok texts every day and we talk on the phone every few days. I am falling hard, and I like the feeling.

Last night we had a FaceTime call, and as usual, his members crashed in at about the halfway point. They are quite amusing. Well, except for Jungkook... This guy has gone from making me think he liked me, to convincing me that he hates me... Every time he sees me talking to Hobi he looks so pissed off and glares at me from behind him.

Last night I tried to say hi, but he ignored me. Hobi told him he was being rude and all he did was scoff and storm away, slamming the door. Hobi apologized, and even Namjoon, but I said it was fine. I told Hobi in a text that it's obvious he didn't like me. He told me that isn't true, but I know what I see and feel. Why do you even care Catherine?

I woke up this morning with the mother of all migraines. So here I am hiding under my blankets, room darkening shades drawn, and a bucket next to my bed in case I have to throw up again. I've silenced my phone, and taken some meds. I'm praying sleep will take me because I'm being tortured.

Bridget's POV

10 calls... 10 calls unanswered. Where the fuck is she? I've texted also, but no response. We have a meeting in an hour, and she's MIA. I love Catherine so much, but she's really pissing me off today.

Screw it, I'll just go and drag her to the meeting. She probably stayed up late talking to her boyfriend again. I'm so happy for her because Hoseok treats her like a princess. But their communication schedule is seriously fucking with her sleep.

Pulling into the driveway, I get a strange feeling. It's almost a deja vu from the day she swallowed the pills. The curtains all over her house are closed which isn't normal... No Bridget... She promised she wouldn't do that again. She's fine!

Ringing her bell, my stomach clenches... 2 minutes, no answer... A fear I didn't understand grips me... I'm almost frozen and too afraid to open the door. I can't go through this again... What if this time she's gone? STOP IT BRIDGET!

I use my key and enter the house. I call out to Catherine, but get no answer. I turn on some lights and look around. Nothing out of place, and no mess... Walking quickly to her room, I knock on her door. I get no response, so I open the door. I feel the tears sliding down as I look at the pale face of my friend that i can barely make out in the dark.

I rush to the curtain and open it taking in the details... A spilled pill bottle, a half empty glass of water, an unmoving Catherine... I'm frozen thinking that this is happening again. Walking to her slowly, I reach out for her hand. It's ice cold... I start crying and shaking her. I'm so lost in my misery, that I don't even hear her groan in pain. I'm crying out loud and asking "Why?" over and over... Then I feel a hand in my hair and a quiet voice saying "B? What's wrong,? Did something happen?"

I look up to see her eyes squinting from the light and her trembling hand touching my cheek. I sniffle and ask her what happened. She looks as confused as I feel right now. She breathes out one word "migraine" and I feel relief flood through me... I start sobbing and lay my head on the bed next to her. I apologize over and over... I feel so dumb and also scared of her reaction to my stupidity.

Jungkook's POV

It's been a month since Hoseok hyung has come back from his trip with Catherine. He's so in love. I am trying to get over it, but it's hard. Every time I see her smiling at him through FaceTime, I remember he's lying to her about MY letter. I know everything. I heard Yoongi hyung and RapMon hyung talking to him about it. He never told her the truth. I also overheard RapMon hyung talking to Halsey on the phone. From what I understood, she knows that Hoseok hyung didn't write the letter, but thinks it could cause her a setback if anyone but him tells her the truth. I won't do anything to hurt her, but this Hyung... I'd like to punch him...

Hoseok's POV

I don't know what Jungkook's problem is. He's been irritable and downright mean lately. Every time I try to talk to him, he sarcastic or just cuts the conversation short. I've asked Yoongi hyung about it, but he says I just need to give him some space. I'm not sure why though. What did I do to him?

Tomorrow is Catherine's birthday. I sent my gift to Bridget a week ago. I hope she likes it. I was so worried when we left each other in England that our relationship wouldn't survive. But it's almost like we're even closer now. It's weird to be so close to someone from so far away... I'm falling hard...

Halsey's POV

Pulling into the driveway of Catherine's house, I'm excited. It's been 3 months since we've seen each other, but we talk and text alot. She knows I'm coming, but isn't expecting me today. She thinks I'm coming in 3 days... SURPRISE!

I get out of the car, and looking at the front door, I notice the door is open... Weird... I approach, and knocking I push it open. I find noone downstairs, but hear what sounds like crying from upstairs. I follow the sounds without much thought because Catherine could be hurt. As soon as I'm outside the door to her room, I hear a woman crying and repeating sorry over and over.

When I push open the door, I see Catherine looking ill, and her friend bawling into her hands. I flashback to the airport and my first meeting with Catherine. I walk over and say "Why is it when I first meet you girls you're crying? Hmmm?" Bridget jolts up, eyes wide and then looks back at Catherine who is chuckling.

After listening to the drama that I missed, and closing the curtains, so Catherine's head doesn't explode, we 3 sit on the bed and talk. After an hour, the meds have kicked in and Catherine has dozed off. Bridget and I went downstairs to make some food for when she wakes up. She goes over the plan for the party tomorrow, and tells me about the gift that Hoseok sent. That boy is totally in love.

Yoongi's POV

I think Jungkook is going to blow soon. I see him trying to move on, but then he'll end up getting pissed at Hoseok when he's talking to, or about, Catherine. He has the right to be mad at Hoseok. It's almost like if someone had stolen one of my songs... He feels like Hobi has stolen his words... and then used them to take something he wanted. I have encouraged Jungkook to tell Hoseok that he wrote the letter, and how he's feeling knowing that Catherine believes Hoseok wrote it. But Jungkook is stubborn, and won't speak to him about this.

I've talked with Namjoon about all of this, and he doesn't know what to do. He's keeping a close eye though since our comeback is a month away. We're so torn about what to do. Both of these guys like the same girl. With seven of us, this was bound to happen, but there have been so many mistakes on both sides I worry we are heading to an irreparable issue. I hope I'm wrong.

I have been enjoying the FaceTime calls where Catherine's adorable friend is there though. Bridget, I think. She's C-U-T-E!! Stop it Yoongi. This isn't about you. Find a way to fix HopeKook...

Author's POV

The day of Catherine's birthday is here. The trio of girls spent the last evening together, eating, gossiping, and doing face sheet mask treatments. The sheet masks were courtesy of Hoseok who sent them to Bridget at her request. She is envious of his skin, so she'll try anything!!

Bridget heads out early to make sure the final preparations are what she wants. The guest list is a mix of Catherine's old friends and college friends. Everyone invited is allowed to bring a guest, so it could get wild later. Bridget is so glad Ashley (Halsey) came, but she is also concerned. She's a celebrity, so Bridget is hoping the people there don't get all weird...

Meanwhile, across the world... Hoseok is nervous. It's almost midnight, so that means it's around 11am where Catherine's is. He is wanting to call to see if she got his gift, but he's scared. If she doesn't like it, or thinks it's too much, he'll feel bad. Catherine is still sleeping off the migraine from yesterday, hoping it won't come back.

When he's about to call her, Jimin and Taehyung come in the room. He tells them to leave, but they don't. Hoseok can't make them since this is Jimin's room too. Sighing, he places the FaceTime request... Just when he's about to give up, an exhausted looking Catherine answers. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" chimed the threesome.

Catherine's POV

The haze lingering, I hear my phone. I am moving slowly since the migraine kicked my ass. The medicine I take for it doesn't help my tiredness. I look at the ID and smile... Hobi... Answering, and not caring what I look like, Hobi, Jimin, and Taehyung yell a happy birthday to me. They then proceed to sing a song in Korean, which I can only guess is their version of our birthday song.

"You just getting awake?"

I stretch whole chuckling... "Yes..."

"uh... Gift... Did you get gift?"

"Not yet... I think Bridget hid it so I wouldn't find it by mistake"

"Aaaahhh.. I hope to see open it..."

"Let's look around... Come with me.."

Smiling, I get up from bed, and head downstairs. I get to the kitchen island and see flowers and a couple gifts. Not to mention a cupcake... Cute. Ashley and Bridget don't seem to be here though, so I know they're out getting the "surprise" ready...

"I want to see you like gift. Open please."

I reach towards the Tiffany & Co box with shaking hands. Why did he have to spend so much?

"It's beautiful! Thank you... It's too much, but I love it."

"I glad you happy!"

Ashley and Bridget walk through the door waving at Hoseok through FaceTime. I hand off my phone to them while I pick up the beautiful bouquet of pink roses. I bury my face in them and inhale the scent.

I get up to go to the kitchen to find a vase when I see the little card. I open it and the inside is in Hangul. Why does he keep doing this? It's cute though, and the flowers are perfect. Leaving the card on the island I go back to putting the flowers in water.

I hear a commotion coming from my phone when I walk back from the other room. Bridget and Halsey are giggling, and I hear alot of voices... The other members must be on the call too...

Ashley is saying "and then Bridget told me..."

"shhhh..." My best friend shushes her seeing me coming back.

"oops!"

The laughing starts again. I pop my face in to the call again to get a chorus of happy birthday wishes from the rest of the guys

"Thank you guys!!"

Bridget tells Hoseok "The necklace is beautiful!"

"I happy she like it"

I don't hold back my joy and tell him "The flowers too. So pretty! Thank you!"

"uuuhhh... Flowers?"

"The roses... And the card... You didn't send them?"

"No. Just necklace..."

I'm so confused now... Where did they come from, and the card? It's the same handwriting as the letter...

Namjoon asks me "Can you show me the card?"

"Sure"

"Can you show me the inside?"

I flip the card open and hold it up so he can see it.

어쩌면 그때
조금만
이만큼만
용길 내서 너의 앞에 섰더라면
지금 모든 건 달라졌을까

I watch as Namjoon and Yoongi share a look but they don't say anything. Hobi looks confused and is looking at his other members. Jimin and Taehyung are sitting with their mouths open... Does it say something bad? I watch as Jungkook, who has been glaring from behind Hoseok, stands and leaves the room abruptly...

"What does it say? Is it something bad?"

"Not at all... It's just... I... confused..."

"please tell me what it says"

Yoongi tells me "song lyrics... OUR song lyrics. A song not release yet..."

Namjoon continues sand tells me more. "It say 'Maybe back then... A little... Just this much... If I had the courage to stand before you... Would everything be different now' it is from a new song..."

Jin steps into the room behind the guys and reminds them of the time. We have been on the phone for over an hour and it's almost 2 am there. I let them go reluctantly. Hobi says he'll call soon. I feel uneasy hearing that he didn't send the flowers... Who did?

Jungkook's POV

Call me an asshole. Tell me I should stay out of their relationship. I know all of that is true. But then ask if I care... I'm tired of Hobi hyung the "romantic letter writer"... I couldn't call him out like I wanted, so I sent the flowers with the handwritten note. He's been getting away with this for too long... I know Yoongi hyung is going to be upset with me, but I had to do something.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Open up jungkook-ah. Let's talk..." And here he is, right on cue.
