The next day...

Jimin's POV

As usual, we're in the dance studio, practising for our comeback song. As the choreography leader, Hoseok hyung stood beside the middle as he ordered, "I need to see your formation during Yoongi hyung's part." With that, he played the start button and RUN began to play from the speaker.

Everything proceeded smoothly as a smile slowly showed on Hoseok hyung's face. It is Jin hyung's part now. I turned to side and attempted to grab onto Namjoon hyung's hand, as part of the choreography.

However, Namjoon hyung wasn't there. He was missing. I quickly scanned the room and no, no sight of the leader.

I immediately signaled to Hoseok hyung and said, "Namjoon hyung is-"

Suddenly, the lights suddenly went off. Someone walked in through the door with a cake in his hands, it was Namjoon hyung! This was followed by a birthday song.

"saeng il chuk ha ham ni da

saeng il chuk ha ham ni da

sarang ha neun -- Jiminie!!

saeng il chuk ha ham ni da"

The cake was served to me as the other members gathered around and clapped. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMINIE!!" Taehyung cheered as he smeared some of the whipped cream on my face.

"Did you really think we forgot about your birthday?" Hoseok hyung continued.

Jin nodded as he secretly eat one of the strawberries, "Are you surprised Jimin?"

"I seriously thought you guys would do some hidden camera prank or something!!"

"Ayyy we're not that mean," V said.

"Haiz seems like Namjoon is right," Yoongi hyung joined in," Namjoon said that ever since that Kookie day prank, everybody would be on alert on their birthdays."

"It's kinda true though," Jin hyung smiled as he brought the camera closer to us, "We're live on V app now!"

Hoseok hyung took over the camera and took a closer look at the screen. "Jungkook ah, come closer, you're not inside!" he said.

Instantly, everybody turned to find the maknae who was at a corner. Jungkook was quietly staring at us with a straight face. Taehyung quickly pulled him to the centre of the corner before hooking his arm over his shoulders.

"Yah Jiminie, quickly blow the candles!" Yoongi hyung reminded as he held onto the cake and shoved it in front of me.

I placed my palm together, as I took a quick look at the other members. My eyes went past Kookie in a milisecond, but I could clearly see how he purposely stare on the ground to avoid eye contact.

And of course, my eyes landed on my boyfriend. I smiled at him before closing my eyes and made a wish.

"I wish that...everyone would be happy (especially him)," I said it in my heart.

Opening my eyes before blowing the candle that was standing right in the middle of the cake, it was followed by a series of cheers and applause.

"Yay!! Jiminie is one year older!" Hoseok hyung exclaimed as he turned to his left, "Jin hyung, anything to say to our birthday boy?"

And so, everybody started to take turns as they stand beside me and shower me with praises and blessings.

"Yoongi hyung, you're next!" Namjoon hyung, who is now holding the camera, exclaimed.

I turned around to see Suga hyung standing beside the two tallies - Jin hyung and Taehyung, trying his very best to be seen in the camera. Giggling, I pulled him to the front.

Noticing we're actually live on V app, I quickly let go of his hands, however, he grabbed hold onto my hands, even tighter, instead. I widened my eyes as I looked at him in shock.

Suga hyung simply stick out his tongue playfully as he turned back to look into the camera. Although our hands were not visible from the audience, the other members saw it and began to add sound effects like "whooo, wow, awwwww!"

I immediately sent Taehyung a death stare and signaled everyone to be quiet, to be prepared for Yoongi hyung's speech.

Hyung looked into my eyes and smiled, "Jimin ah, you have been working hard this year. You have been a great boy- dongsaeng and I hope what you wish for will come true."

With that, Yoongi hyung ruffled my hair and mouthed a "saranghae". I swear that was the sweetest thing he ever did. My heart was flustered as I took a peek at the camera. Luckily, it was not captured thanks to Namjoon hyung coming nearer to check out the comments.

"We're left with one more member!" Hoseok hyung said before pushing Jungkook to my side, "Kookie, you're next!"

I quickly look at Kookie, and then to Yoongi hyung. My eyes darted from older one to the younger one. Oh no, what do I do now? This is awkward...

At last, Yoongi hyung patted my back and gave me a don't-worry smile before going to the back, leaving Jungkook and I in the middle.

"Kookie ah," Namjoon hyung said, "The fans commented that you're very quiet today.

"Oh j-jinja?" he stuttered.

"Ne! So quick, say something birthday wishes to Jiminie."

"Huh? Oh err...Jimin hyung is...very hardworking. He does a lot of things for uri ARMYs and...I hope, he would be happy, as always."

"Thanks," I said awkwardly as I scratched the back of my neck.

"So what are you gonna give Jimin as a present?" Namjoon hyung continued as he scrolled through the comment section, "The fans said you should give Jimin a kiss, since he gave it to you too on your birthday."

"NE?!?" Kookie and I shouted in unison, "A...a kiss?"

Jungkook's POV

I was mentally shocked when I heard that. And my first instinct was to look at Yoongi hyung. Hyung was at the back, he obviously heard that request from Namjoon hyung but pretended to be staring in space.

I lifted my head to look at Jimin hyung, before slowly shaking my head. He, too, stared into my eyes and mouthed a "hajima". I felt a sharp pain in my heart upon hearing that.

He used to like me so much, pestering me for a kiss and now, he don't even want it anymore. Right, he has a boyfriend now, someone who cares about him, someone who loves him so damn much, someone who would shower him with kisses everyday and every time. Why does he even know MY kiss?

Oh wait, why am I having such childish conversation with myself?

At this moment, V hyung hopped out of nowhere and squeezed in between us two. "Let ME do the honour," he smiled sneakily before cupping Jimin hyung's face.

"YAH!!" Jimin screamed as he tried to free himself.

Other members, on the other hand, were squeaking like how they were doing the Vhope kiss few years ago.

V hyung tilted his head and leaned towards me before whispering against my ears, "I told you hyung would be there to save you. You owe me one Kookie," he winked.

I chuckled while giving V hyung a thank-you nod. With that, hyung turned back to face Jimin hyung as he pulled their faces closer.

"Yah stop playing," Mama Jin came to the rescue, "Yoongi is gonna get jealous. See how red his face is right now!"

Everyone immediately turned to look at Yoongi hyung who was sending a death stare to Mama Jin.

"Hey! Let's just quickly end this live broadcast," Hoseok hyung exclaimed before lowering his voice, "things are getting too explicit for uri ARMYs."

With that, Jimin hyung took over the camera and began his thank-you speech. The rest of us stood around and clapped. I quietly retreat to the back after witnessing how Yoongi hyung squeeze his way to the front and back hugged the birthday boy.

They weren't afraid of the camera anymore, neither did the other hyungs warn them anything. Jimin hyung blushed as soon as he felt something warm behind his back. He even turned over to give his boyfriend a sweet smile.

Jimin's POV

"Thank you for the members and all the ARMYs for wishing me a happy birthday," I grinned at the camera before looking on the screen.

One particular member caught my eyes, Kookie, who had a rather dark expression on his face. I know I couldn't turn to him and check out how is he, clearly knowing that this would be too weird.

Even a dumb ass would know the frown on his face is due to the back hug we are having and then, the painful expression on Kookie's face while trying to maintain a smile just breaks my heart.

Slowly I released Yoongi hyung's grip from my waist as I went up to end the broadcast. Luckily, hyung wasn't angry by my action and a quick look at Kookie made me relieve after seeing his expression getting a little bit brighter.
