Few minutes to 12 am, you're rolling on your bed, watching time move at its slowest. You roll over and bring your phone to your face again.

11:58pm

You've typed out your congratulatory message already, sitting pretty in his messages. You mindlessly scroll through, feeling a little sting when you notice how curt and detached the messages you've exchanged look. You don't allow yourself to think much about it. You see each other frequently anyways.

12:00am

You hit send immediately, heart hampering against your chest. You can hear the beats in your ears, feel them against the pillow. Almost like your eyes can feel the pressure too. A tear slips unknowingly. Unsure whether it's tears of joy, or fear that he won't respond.

"Happy 2 years to us," You whisper to yourself followed by a little sniffle.

You turn off your phone and roll over to the other side, putting the blanket over your head. With hopes that he'd at least respond with half your enthusiasm.

You wake up to soft lips smothering your forehead. The sloppy contact makes you shrivel your nose as you force yourself awake.

"Happy Anniversary, baby" Jungkook smiles, his breath fanning your face. It takes a while for you to regain composure then you beam one back at him.

He has a rose in his left hand, while the other is tucked into the back pocket of his black denim jeans. He has a matching jacket on, and a white vest that does justice to his build.

"Thank you," There's a rasp to your voice when you speak, which causes you to clear your throat immediately.

He nods in acknowledgement, then whips out his right hand to check his watch.

"Party starts at 4. Show up early, alright?" He points a finger at you, then sets the rose down on your bedside table and gives a quick peck before he turns to leave.

Your shoulder slumps as he exits the door. Show up early. He didn't even offer to pick you up.

You're still focused on the spot where he left when you notice Jia lean against your door.

"It's okay," You assure her with a half-smile. She smiles back at you but you know she doesn't believe you.
