No one p.o.v.

Ever since the sleepover occured, both boys wouldnt let eachother out of sight whether it would be that one follows the other around or they get their parents to arrange somewhere to meet up and play. Days soon turned to weeks and weeks soon turned to months until it had finally passed a full year of the two boys knowing eachother.

They spent birthdays together, sleepovers practically everyday and just generally were like magnets. Even if you tried, you would never be able to break such a bond. Well, that's how it was.

It just so happened to be Jeongguk's birthday on this fine day. September 1st. The day he would finally turn 3 years old! Since his mother was free from work for the week, she decided to have a party that would include jungkooks main friends at the time. They were yugyeom, jackson, jinyoung, bambam, mark, youngjae and jaebum. The seven boys he hung out with called themselves got7 but when they all met at pre-school the eight boys were stuck to eachother and when one was in trouble, the rest would help. Of course now you're thinking, 'where is taehyung?'

Well, taehyung had been busy with primary school as he was at the ripe age of 5. Jeongguk and Taehyung did still go on play dates but not as much as they did when they were a bit younger. Thankfully, it was the weekend when kook's birthday arrived so taehyung was definately free to go. Hours passed until it was finally time for the party to commence..

Jeongguk p.o.v.

This is my chance! I can finally show taetae hyung how much ive grown. He will be so proud of me!!

All of a sudden, eomma told me to get ready as my friends will be here any minute. I ran towards the wardrobe wondering what would look good. Clothes were tattered around the room aswell as fabric thrown all over the place. My head was deep inside the tall closet. Wait...hold up..yes, yes, yes!! This is just what i was looking for! It was perfect.

Suddenly, the door bell rang and eomma shouted my name so that i would go downstairs and greet my friends.

Everyone was here including the seven boys' parents so that they could have a BBQ outside while we stay inside with a few supervisors. But...where's taetae hyung?..

Why is he not here?

He's just late...right?..

Thousands of thoughts rushed through my brain as my friends were conversing loudly. With the last thought, I told them that I would be back in just a second and soon I dashed through the garden doors in hope to ask eomma a question. I ran as fast as my cute little chubby legs could go. In a matter of time, I made it to the area she was sitting with the other adults and sprinted in her direction.

"Eomma, Eomma!! Where's taetae hyungie?!" I almost screamed in anticipation.

"He's not here yet? I thought i had invited him though.." Eomma questioned.

"But he wasnt at the door..." I whined sadly.

"Dont worry ggukie baby! Taehyung is probably just late. Lets hope he shows up before the party ends okay?" She gently said while picking me up onto her lap and hugging me.

"Fine i guess.." I pouted.

And with that, i rushed back inside so that i could play with my friends. That lasted for nearly three hours with snacks inbetween but it was finally my time to shine!

My eomma called everyone to the kitchen where we all now were standing around the table with me and my friends at front and the parents surrounding the rest of the free spaces. She came back with the cake and placed it down infront of me. And thats when they were all singing the classic song 'happy birthday'.

"생일 축하합니다,(Happy birthday to you)

생일 축하합니다,(Happy birthday to you)

사랑하는 정국씨,(Happy birthday dear Jeongguk)

생일 축합니다,(Happy birthday to you)"
They all sang in time.

Once they finished singing, I closed my eyes and clasped my hands tightly together and wished in my head,' I wish that taehyung will never forget me..' and then blew out every candle on the cake with all my might.
Everyone cheered and it was soon the end of the party.

The seven boys said bye to me individually and then ran off to their parents. I waved back and told them how grateful I was for all the presents. I wasn't really one for being spoiled. Once everyone was out of sight, including my eomma who was cleaning the kitchen, my arm dropped in an instant.

He lied to me..

He said he would never miss my birthday even if he was busy...

Did I do something wrong?..

Taetae hyung, am I not as important to you anymore?..

I stood there, waiting to see if this was all a dream and I was just asleep before the party. This can't be real. My hyung would never miss this....would he?

Dismissing those thoughts, eomma came running towards me and bent down. Her face showed a sign of guilt as if she did something wrong.

"Hey baby, I'm sorry that taehyung didn't come.. I know how much you wanted him to be here but his parents just texted me saying that he was out with some of his friends from school. Don't worry though, we can always arrange something after this!" She said optimistically.

So he really doesn't care..

I'm not the most important to him...

But how can I stay mad at him if he didn't do anything wrong?..

"Hey eomma..can you ask if he's free tomorrow since it's still the weekend? Pretty please?!" I gave her the puppy eyes and of course she gave in.

She patted my head and told me that she will be in her room if she needed anything. I stared at her back until she was out of sight. The sigh that I didn't even know I was holding suddenly flew out of my mouth.

Why was I so disappointed?..

( I don't know if I wrote happy birthday correctly and if I did, please tell me if it's wrong. I didn't really update for a week or so because I was pretty busy with housework saying that quarantine took a toll on our daily lives. Also, some of the terms I used are generally European terms since I'm from England lol. Sorry for people who don't understand some of the things I wrote. I want to know how well I did, so comment if you want! I don't care what you want to do.)
