-나는 그들의 것, 그들은 내 꺼야-

-mingyu's pov-

"alright, first of all let's clean up this mess" i ordered around to them. the mess they have created pushed all my buttons in ways that makes me want to kill them

they all looked rather scared when they saw my appearance in the kitchen, probably scared at what i would do to them

they immediately sprung into action, soonyoung hyung cleaning the dirty counter, seungcheol getting all the messy plates and giving them to joshua who was washing all the dirty bowls and such, jun cleaning the batter that had gotten on the floor and myungho cleaning batter that had gotten on the ceiling, how'd that get up there?

i watched in delight as the kitchen quickly got back to its previous clean state

"okay, now let's start making the real cake" i spoke with happiness in my voice

-areum's pov-

i didn't realize it when i fell asleep in the car in jeonghan's arms, but i awoke in my room with a fresh set of clothes. i looked around at the room in confusion

"how did...?" i mumbled to myself, "i changed you" jeonghan suddenly spoke from beside me, startling me in the process, he was sitting beside my bed on the loveseat that i would usually read books on

"if you're wondering why you're in different clothes" "s-so you saw m-me naked?!" i whispered more to myself than to him. he chuckled at my reaction

"yeah, but don't worry i didn't do anything weird to you" he gave me a reassuring smile. that small smile allowed me to relax a bit, i let out a small sigh of relief

"are you doing better?" he asked in a concerned voice, "yeah, i guess you could say that" i spoke with uncertainty

maybe i am better after thinking about it for a while, but was what i saw even real? was it even towards me? it could've been towards jeonghan and chan and not me. but, she was definitely looking at me and not them

but it still makes no sense, she's been so kind to me since i've met her. but i guess that's how people really are

but i don't want to believe it...

if what i saw was real it means she hates me and i can't allow myself to believe that until the words fall from her mouth and i hear it for myself

i can't jump to conclusion like that, if i want to know if she hates me i need to ask her directly

i turned to look at the clock beside me, it was almost 12:00 meaning my birthday was almost over

what a strange day...

"would you like to see your cake?" jeonghan said, carrying me out of my thoughts, "the guys made it themselves" he smiled, encouraging me to see it

"sure" i smiled back, they must have worked hard on that cake, knowing most of them can't cook to save their lives. i say that but i really mean soonyoung, i chuckled at the thought. jeonghan gave me a weird look

"let's go" he offered his hand for me to take and i gladly took it

we exited my room hand in hand, my mood was still a little glum but it was getting better

"i think you'll like the cake, i got a sneak peak of it before going to your room. it's really pretty" he said while lightly squeezing my hand in his

his hands were usually so cold compared to mine, it must be because he's a vampire. i've noticed that all of them have very cold bodies compared to me

but it always gave me a nice feeling inside, i am always warm but not in the cozy way, more in the i'm sweating my ass of way, so it's nice when they hold my hand or hug me. it always cools me down and somehow also calmed me down in the process

when we got to the bottom of the stairs and walked to the kitchen, there was no one to be found. the kitchen was empty and clean, almost as if nobody was even here

"where's-" i tried to ask jeonghan something but the lights went out, enveloping me in darkness, "what happened?" i whispered as i tried to maneuver around in the darkness

but before too much time could pass, i saw a light of a candle and then i heard them singing, "happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear areum, happy birthday to you!" they sang happily as they slowly walked towards me, trying their best to not blow out the candle. i chuckled as they endeavors failed

they all cheered when they finished singing, urging me to blow the remaining candles that were still lit, "what did you wish for?" seungkwan asked excitedly

"if i tell you it won't come true, seungkwan you ask this every year" i chuckled. my mood completely changed when i heard them singing, thank you guys, you always make me feel better

ever since i was old enough to remember seungkwan has always asked me what i wished for and every year i give him the same answer, "if i tell you it won't come true". but every year i wish for the same thing; for everything to stay the way it is...

"aigoo, come on! one year you have to tell me" he whined and i just laughed at his reaction, "here, hold the cake. be careful not to drop it like you did last year" soonyoung warned me, reminding me of what had happened the year previous where i dropped my birthday cake on the floor

"yeah yeah, don't worry" i pouted back and looked at the beautiful cake they made this year

(a/n btw it says happy birthday on the cake if you can't read korean)

"it's so pretty" i smiled as i looked at the cake in front of me, "mingyu almost beat our ass because of the mess we created trying to make that" seungcheol said from behind jeonghan, "really?" i said in disbelief, "they made a mess" mingyu said glaring at the ones around him

but something is off, someone's missing, "where's wonu?" i mumbled, "he isn't feeling well so he's in his room" seokmin said as he put his arm around my shoulder, almost making me drop the cake in my arms (a/n kpop idols vs. cakes), "oh"

there was a moment of silence as i looked down at the floor. this is the first birthday i've had that all of them are here, where they're finally back. but someone's still missing

i felt a little disappointed

"why don't we cut the cake" joshua said trying to lift the mood, "yeah, c'mon we worked hard on that" jun said taking the cake from me and placing it on the table

🌷

for the rest of the night the guys kept arguing over who did a better job of helping make the cake. chan saying that he helped most with the decorations and myungho saying he did more and then mingyu joining in saying he ordered everyone around so he should take all the credit

i knew what they were trying to do. they were trying to lift up my mood. they saw my reaction when i found out wonwoo wouldn't be able to be here and they knew what had happened at the movie theatre. they're trying to make me laugh. i mean it was working but... it made my heart flutter knowing they care so much

"before the clock hits twelve, i want to sing something to you" amidst all the chaos of them arguing, jihoon pulled me outside with his guitar, "and i also want to apologize about how i acted towards you today" he pressed his lips into a line as he looked at me with guilty eyes

"soonyoung pissed me off and i treated you horribly, and i want to say i'm sorry" he apologized, "everyone gets angry, and i get it, i get why you said those things. what you said was probably the truth if i think about it, now i know you guys don't like her. you were probably holding that in since you met her, you were bound to say it at some point" i spoke in a soft tone as i looked at him

"thank you, we don't deserve you" he smiled, "i want to sing you this before the night is over"

jihoon's voice was something i always loved. he's been singing me songs since i can remember. it didn't matter how many times i would ask him and annoy him to sing for me he would always do it happily and with a smile on his face

he would sing original songs and songs i wanted to hear him sing that were made by other artists, and he would always do it

my eyes geared up when he finished singing, "i made that song for you, i wrote it a long time ago and i always wanted to sing it to you when you turned eighteen and i also hoped that when that day came all of us would be here" he smiled as he looked at my tears eyes

"thank you" was all i could say as i hugged him tightly with my face over his shoulders

i pulled away and looked at the time on my phone. i chuckled a little, it had just hit twelve, "i guess it's not my birthday anymore" i giggled

"yeah i guess. we should head inside, you need to sleep, you have school tomorrow"

🌷

what a rollercoaster of emotions today has been, i thought to myself as i changed into some of mingyu's clothes that he let me borrow. well... i didn't borrow it, i stole the clothes from him; what can i say i like big clothes and i cannot lie (a/n you other brothers can't deny, when a girl walks in with an itty bitty- i'll see myself out😔)

i walked to my bed and threw myself on it, letting out a sigh of exhaustion, "why am i so tired? i didn't do anything" i complained to myself

i laid there staring at the ceiling, my mind going blank

my mind was empty but at the same time i was thinking of a million things at a time

"i wonder how wonu is doing" i mumbled to myself suddenly, i didn't even realize i said something until i heard a response from someone at the door, "why don't you ask me?" he said
