- Lee Minhyuk's POV -

I TAKE A DEEP breath and stare at the door in front of me. I was at HAU's dormitory, and the room in front of me was my boyfriend's room, Yoon Sungjae.

    Today was my birthday - as well as my brothers' birthday - but Sungjae and I made it a tradition that we give the other a gift instead during our own birthday because it symbolizes that the greatest gift we have is each other, and so we thank each other during our own birthdays. Cheesy, I know, but I don't care. I'm too hopelessly in love.

     I look at the rectangular box that I was holding and smile to myself. I lift my hand and got ready to knock on his dorm when a shirtless guy from the dorm next to Sungjae suddenly heads out. If I was new here, I would freak out, but I've been in this situation so many times now that I could just try to ignore it.

    "Good morning Minhyuk. You're looking sharp today," the man says, but I continue to ignore him as I fix my already perfectly wax hair, making sure that I look good before I knock on Sungjae's door.

     "Oh, you're going to give him a present since it's your birthday, right? I seriously can't understand you two," he continues even though I wasn't even talking to him. He then wears his shirt and approaches me with a smug look on his face, which I honestly wanted to punch. "Did you follow my suggestion last year? About the condoms?"

     "Suho! You're seriously a piece of shit, do you know that?" I angrily ask as I look at my brother Suho who still had a grin on his face.

     "Come on now, you're still acting like a virgin. With that body of yours, I'd flaunt it and go wild," Suho tells me.

     I was about to seriously punch him, but then Sungjae's door suddenly opens, instantly making me stop.

     "S-Sungjae! Good morning," I say, trying to act calm after having an idiotic conversation with Suho who obviously enjoyed having sex with Lay all night considering the fact that he looks like he's in cloud nine, and of course the hickeys in his exposed chest. Seriously, it's either these two are just obsessed with each other, or Suho's way too greedy over wanting Lay.

     "I literally pity Lay for falling in love with a guy like you," I mumble to myself, but Sungjae was still able to hear it since he hit my arm after it.

     "Morning Sungjae. Hopefully, we didn't disturb you this time," Suho says with an innocent smile.

     "Thankfully the rooms are soundproof," Sungjae answers with a fake smile. And before things could even get out of hand, I glare at Suho and push Sungjae back inside his room.

     "Happy birthday Minhyuk! I'll see you two later!" Suho shouts as I finally shut the door.

     Sungjae laughs and heads to his desk so he could arrange the papers that were there. "You should be a lot nicer to your brother," he tells me, almost making me laugh.

     I approach him and help him with his papers as I say back, "I was literally with him the other day. We played video games for hours in his house, but I found out he was just distracting me since he wasn't finished with his final paper yet and he wanted me to be late with my paper too."

     Instead of comforting me, Sungjae laughs.

     "So you're not finished with your paper yet? We're graduating soon you know."

     "I did an allnighter and I finished it," I casually answer as I hand him the papers.

     "Of course you did."

     After cleaning up, Sungjae leaned on his desk and looks straight at me. "Happy birthday Lee Minhyuk."

     I take a deep breath and look back at him. After feeling anxious all day, I finally pull out my gift and hand it to him. "Thank you, Yook Sungjae," I answer back, and Sungjae takes the box from my hand.

     As he was getting ready to open it, I unconsciously hide my hands inside my pockets so he wouldn't notice how I was literally shaking from nervousness. Sungjae then opened the box, and the look on his face instantly made me sigh in relief.

     "It's a necklace," Sungjae says as he pulls it out of the box, revealing the pendant, which was a silver angel's wings. "It's beautiful. Thank you."

     "It doesn't really top the gift you gave me on your birthday last year, but I'm really glad you like it," I honestly tell him, and the warm smile on his face made everything all worth it. This is the reason why I started getting excited on my birthday. It's simply just to see him smile like that.

     "Can you help me wear it?" He asks as he hands it to me.

     "Of course. Turn around," I answer before taking the necklace from his hand. Sungjae turns around, and then I stand behind him and drape the necklace on his neck before locking it in place.

     Sungjae touches the pendant, and then I lean close and kiss his neck, making Sungjae chuckle. "Thank you," he says again.

     I take a deep breath and hug Sungjae as tightly as I could. "I love you," I tell him before resting my chin on his shoulder.

     "I love you too. Thank you for being born, Lee Minhyuk."
