"i have feelings for you, jungkook."
the room was pitch black. the only noise that could be heard was my air conditioner and my hitched breathing.
"i love you, kelsie."
and we just laid down and slept.
slept the night away.
i didn't expect him to ask me to be his girlfriend.
i needed to tell him how i felt.
and he likes me back.
and he's my best friend.
and that's all that matters.
-
i woke up in my bed, alone.
i sighed at the loss of the other person beside me, even though i prefer sleeping alone.
wait, ew. it's my birthday.
"KELSIE, ALANA IS HERE FOR YOU WAKE UP!!" jin literally screamed from down the hall. he's literally such a dad.
i walked downstairs. i didn't plan on telling the boys it was my birthday. i was just another year older.
"hey bitch!" alana giggled, pulling me into a tight hug. the boys had all settled down around the table.
"did she tell them? ughh."
all she did was hand me a white box.
"a present?"
"shut up and open it."
when i opened the box, it revealed nine usa vs south korea women's world cup tickets.
i looked up at alana, my eyes wide in shock.
"you didn't!"
"i did!"
i hugged her tightly, smiling from joy.
"happy birthday bitch!!"
"it's your birthday?!" jungkook asked, shocked.
"you didn't tell us?" jimin pouted, puffing out his lips.
"i didn't want to bother you with the whole present and celebration thing~"
"we love birthdays!" jin exclaimed, jumping up. "we want to celebrate you!"
"and i love buying presents." jimin said, still pouting.
"fine, then your present can be coming to this usa vs south korea soccer game with me."
taehyung and jungkook's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their heads.
"no way!"
"that's awesome!"
i pulled alana into a hug again. i knew she wasn't one for sports but i was so happy she wanted to come with me anyways.
"thank you so much."
"of course."
and then it hit me.
"wait, wait. these much have cost way too much. ill reimburse you for our tickets if you wa-"
"dumb bitch it's your birthday! just because it literally cost as much as my car, doesn't mean you have to pay me back. now, let's go do something for your birthday."
"yeah, i mean for gods sake you're 22! let's go have fun." taehyung badgered me, showing off his boxy smile.
"fiine, let me go get changed."
"ooooh im coming to help pick out your outfit!" alana cheered, following me up the stairs.
"in your dreams.~"
-
alana forced me to wear something other than my nike shorts and pink sweatshirt. i tried playing the birthday card but she was not having it.
the outfit was cute, i have to admit.
a long, pastel pink shirt with the words "bbg" printed across it in yellow, small letters. i had light jean shorts on but they weren't visible. i wore checkered high top vans and my hair was down. i also had my circle wire glasses on.
i looked like a little girl, but i liked it. i liked feeling small sometimes i guess?
"so cute! let's go"
-
the boys and alana insisted on going to the mall. i told them no buying me presents, but they didn't listen.
alana and i were walking into h&m as jungkook and yoongi followed. jungkook beside me and yoongi beside alana.
"oooh yoongi look at those sunglasses!" alana giggled, grabbing yoongi's hand and taking him over to the glasses.
i looked through some of their jean skirts as jungkook watched.
"you look really pretty today." jungkook said quietly, like a child.
"thank you. you look fine i guess." i teased, laughing and hitting his arm slightly.
"whateverrr~" he said in a teenager voice. "you didn't look that good anyway."
i fake gasped and turned away from him, trying to control my laughter.
all of a sudden i felt a pair of hands grab my shoulders and spin me around.
"just." he whispered, leaning closer to me. "kidding." he interlocked his lips with mine.
-
i glanced around, the store was pretty empty and we were in the back anyways. i placed my hands on her shoulders and spun her around. i didn't know what i was feeling right now, but i loved it.
"just." i whispered, leaning closer to her. "kidding." i pressed my lips against hers.
-
alana was gushing over the sunglasses.
she was so cute.
i looked over at jungkook and kelsie. he whispered something and then kissed her.
oh my god.
i didn't know if i was mad or relieved.
mad cause he's kiSSING HER IN PUBLIC.
relieved because he told her how he felt.
"alana, look." i whispered, nudging her arm.
she gasped, giggling.
"yess kelsie."
-
when we got home, the boys inSISTED i open my presents.
jin got me a chick fil a gift card so we could have a "father daughter" date sometime. istg im actually done with him. he also got me a long sleeve usa women's soccer hoodie.
namjoon got me a small, gold necklace that says "qt" on it. i giggled. qt was our inside joke. he also got me a succulent.
jimin got me a chimmy plushie. he also told me he wanted to take me to get any piercing or tattoo that i wanted.
taehyung got me some earrings, long delicate chain ones like his. he also got me a new pair of wire glasses.
yoongi got me some glossier lip glosses. he said he asked alana if they were okay and she refused to help him so he just guessed. and he got me the cutest stuffed pink bear.
hobi bought me a new pair of converse, they were a deep black and had sunflowers embroidered on them.
jungkook was the cutest of them all. he bought me a promise ring. it was a simple gold band with jagiya carved on the inside of it. i smiled down at it. he had a similar one, but with one that said kook inside.
-
after i took all my presents up to my room, they told me to come back down. as soon as i did, all the lights were off except for the two candles on the cake jin was holding.
they began to sing happy birthday to me in korean. i took out my phone, took a video, and posted it to my instagram story.
the cake they bought was funfetti with white buttercream icing on it.
alana the snitch sold out my favorite cake.
i blew out the candles after they were done, smiling profusely in the process.
-
the rest of the night we ate, laughed, and drank. it was a good night. i was happy.
i don't want it to end.
