~Seyeon~

I woke up really happy. It was my birthday!

After checking my phone, I saw that there were no texts from Yoongi but there were heaps from Harin, Lia, Kay and the rest of the members.

So I went and started to get ready. I took my time getting ready, having a long shower and everything. As I was about to get started on my makeup, I checked my phone again and frowned when I saw that there were no messages from Yoongi.

I didn't think much of it because he promised. That, and Yoongi isn't one to message... I think if I was to see messages, then there's a chance that it's because our plans were cancelled.

Being positive, I got started on my makeup.

~Yoongi~

Yoongi grabbed his water bottle, wanting nothing more than to drink water right now. His throat felt raw and he has a pounding headache.

He glanced down at his phone and saw that he still has two hours before his date with Seyeon. Yoongi stayed up late, finalising his songs and was set to re-record some parts that didn't fit right with him.

"Again?" one of the producers asked.

Yoongi nodded, placing his bottle on the table. "Is it okay if I leave early? Today is my girlfriend's birthday so I need to go to her."

Hearing this, the producer nodded with a knowing smile. Yoongi fought hard not to go red at the sight and went to stand where the microphone was.

You can do it, Yoongi encouraged himself, closing his eyes as the music began.

***

It was clear that they weren't going to finish on time.

Yoongi muttered a curse when he messed up once more. He took off his headphones, gesturing to the others that he needed a short break. They glanced at each other worriedly but nodded anyways.

Yoongi collapsed on the sofa, exhausted. "I don't think I can make it," he muttered to himself, reaching for his phone.

He hated himself for it. He's worked for many days and nights for this and yet it wasn't enough. Yoongi rushed it but he thought it'll be okay... only to find out that it wasn't okay. He's a perfectionist. Even if he wanted to just screw it and keep it as it is, he can't do that. If it's not perfect, Yoongi won't be able to concentrate on anything until it's perfect.

He clicked on Seyeon's number. It was nearly noon.

I'm sorry. I don't think I can make it.

Yoongi hated himself for doing this to Seyeon.

Seyeon immediately replied back with a cheerful, It's okay! There's always next year!
