Birthday Serenade

"Amid the antiseptic corridors, where the air is laced with the scent of healing, love blossoms in the most unexpected of places-like wildflowers pushing through sterile soil, resilient, and unyielding."
🎂❤️🥀

A.n: The hospital rooms, usually a place filled with the sterile scent of antiseptic, now brimmed with an air of warmth and celebration. It was an unusual place for a birthday party, but love found its way even in the most unexpected corners.

Author's POV.

Hospital Room, Midnight

The faint light of a bedside lamp softened the sterile glow of the hospital room. You stirred, a flicker of consciousness pulling you from the realms of sleep. Beside you, Taehyung dozed in a chair, his unwavering presence comforting.

You glanced at the clock-midnight. A smile tugged at your lips as you realized the significance of the moment. It was not just another day; it was both of your birthdays.

You look towards Taehyung, who had been dozing in the chair,

You tried to speak softly. " Taehyung..."

Taehyung, still in the grasp of sleep, mumbled in response.

You whisper," Wake up, sleepyhead..."

His eyes fluttered open, He had been keeping watch and turned to you with a grin as he noticed your awakening, meeting your gaze.

Taehyung said while rubbing his eyes, "What's up? Are you feeling unwell !! Should I call somebody? "

You grinned and said," Happy birthday Tae.."

Recognition dawned in Taehyung's eyes, and a wide smile broke across his face.

Taehyung said chuckling with your words," Happy birthday, Y/N! "

In that quiet moment, in the embrace of shared wishes, the hospital room transformed into a space filled with the warmth of celebration. You both exchanged a sleepy but heartfelt smile and went back to sleep.

Next Morning.

The sun's tentative rays filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on your face. She awoke to the soft hum of medical equipment and the rustle of hospital staff going about their routine.

A knock on the door signalled the arrival of the doctor. Dr.Chinhae, a familiar face by now, entered with a warm smile.

Dr.Chinhae speaks cheerfully, "Good morning, Y/N. And happy birthday!"

You were surprised, "How did you...?"

Dr.Chinhae speaks while checking your charts, "It's a tradition for us to know our patients well. Plus, birthdays are worth celebrating, especially when we're making progress."

He glanced at the reports, with his smile widening.

"Everything is looking good, Y/N. We might be able to discuss discharge soon.", said the doctor before going out of the room.

Your heart skipped a beat. The prospect of leaving the hospital, of stepping into the world beyond those clinical walls, filled you with a sense of anticipation.

Evening.

As evening descended, the room buzzed with a quiet excitement. Your mom had arrived, and the small hospital space transformed into a makeshift celebration venue.

Balloons adorned the room, and a small table was decorated with a modest cake-half for Taehyung, half for You. Family and friends gathered, their faces lit with smiles that transcended the hospital setting.

Namjoon, Jin, Suga, Hobi, Jimin, and Jungkook filed into the room, each bearing a small gift and a heart full of good wishes.

Namjoon said with a smile exposing his dimples, "Double the birthdays, double the joy!"

Jin was holding a gift for both of you and said," And double the cake!"

All gathered around You and Taehyung, the room alive with laughter and the warmth of friendship.

Moments Later.

As the small party continued, Your mom watched you from a distance. The last time she had visited, You were asleep, caught in the grip of exhaustion and treatment.

Now, with You awake and smiling, mother and daughter shared a gaze filled with unspoken emotions. Mom approached you with her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

Mom whispered, "Happy birthday, my love."

She enveloped you in a tender embrace, the kind that held a thousand unspoken words.

You softly speak, "Thank you for being here, Mom."

The room, filled with the warmth of shared love, witnessed a reunion that transcended the confines of illness and hospital walls.

As the clock struck midnight, marking not only the culmination of Y/N's birthday but also of Taehyung's, the room bathed in the soft glow of hospital lights took on an ethereal quality.

Amid the traces of the day's celebration-balloons gently swaying, the remnants of a cake with half the candles flickering-the quiet of the night settled.

You whispered, "Happy birthday, Taehyung."

You gently kissed his cheek, and in the stillness, a moment unfolded, capturing the essence of shared dreams and intertwined destinies.

Taehyung smiled and said," Thank you, Love. You've made this birthday unforgettable."

As you sat there, hand in hand, the clock's gentle ticking marked the passage of time. The room, a haven for shared moments and silent wishes, held the promise of a new year-one they would face together.

And as the night whispered its lullabies, the hospital room cradled the echoes of celebration and the anticipation of what tomorrow, and the year ahead, might bring for Y/N and Taehyung.

Happy Birthday, Taehyung. 🎉

Wishing you a year of good health, joy, and continued success after your military service. May every moment be filled with happiness and prosperity. 🎂✨
