you sat slouched in your chair, tapping your pen absentmindedly on your desktop as you skimmed your textbook. you decided that physics was extremely boring. who deserved to be doing physics homework on their birthday anyway? you let out a yawn and rested your chin on your hands, eyes scanning the book without really reading anything.
just as your eyelids were starting to droop, your phone lit up with a notification. you snuck a glance over, immediately perking up when you saw the contact name, sitting up to pick up the phone.
loverboy ♡ : "wanna go on a walk with me?"
you didn't even realize it, but you were smiling. you could almost feel your energy coming back to at the prospect of seeing your boyfriend.
you peeped out the half drawn blinds of your window. it was almost pitch black outside.
three dots popped up. then vanished. they came back a moment later.
loverboy ♡ : "um well... you might wanna look out the window!"
your brows furrowed as you read this. you stood, drew your blinds up, and opened the window. the cold evening air seized its chance, gushing into your room. you peered out to see jihoon standing on the ground floor of your apartment complex, waiting for you. when he saw your face, he waved his hands, looking like an excited puppy. then, he looked back down at his phone and started typing hastily.
not even a second later, you received another message.
loverboy ♡ : “hehe.. u coming? ^^”
you smiled despite yourself. who were you kidding? of course you were.
you popped your head back out the window and yelled down, “gimme a minute!” you slid the window shut quickly, threw on the coat that had been lying on your bed as if waiting for you, shoved your phone into its pocket, and ran out the door. the living room was dark, your parents weren’t home again. a cake box on the table with a sticky note attached was the only sign of their presence. you slipped into your shoes, opening and shutting the door with a quick motion.
you pressed the button to the first floor in the elevator and waited impatiently. when the doors finally slid open with a ding, you were met with the sight of jihoon standing outside waiting for you. the moment he saw you, his smile lit up and he ran forward to greet you.
“ynnn! i missed you…” he practically sprang up and engulfed you in a bear hug.
after a brief greeting and exchange of cheek pecks and playful remarks, the two of you embarked on your journey to the park. jihoon reached into his bag and pulled out a packaged swiss roll from the convenience store.
you gasped at the sight of the cake, taking it from him eagerly tearing open the clear plastic wrapper, biting into the soft, creamy dessert.
you closed your eyes briefly, focusing on the heavenly taste of the swiss roll. you swallowed, opened your eyes, and grinned at your boyfriend. “have i mentioned that i love you?”
“anything for my baby.” he replied as he reached over and patted you on the head lovingly.
you finally made it to the park entrance, stopping to snap a few pictures together by the bridge before making your way inside. as you sauntered under the glow of the park streetlamps, trees and benches scattered along the pathways the two of you walked on, you felt a blissful feeling bloom within yourself. next to you, jihoon was chattering and being his happy self per usual, and you found yourself staring at your boyfriend without truly comprehending anything he was saying, simply admiring him quietly. you decided that you could just look at him forever.
noticing your silence, jihoon stopped talking—and stopped walking altogether. “what’s wrong?” he tilted his head to the side, concern written all over his features as his eyes searched your face for any sign of discomfort or unhappiness.
“i was just…admiring you.” you finally admitted sheepishly, face flushing as you shyly looked down. sometimes you just couldn’t wrap your head around the fact that you were literally his girlfriend. that this adorable, unfairly attractive, sometimes hyperactive boy was your loverboy.
jihoon gently moved the hair that had fallen over your face back in place and smiled at you, his eyes soft. the corners of his eyes crinkled as he grinned. “what am i, a zoo exhibit?”
you shook your head, and giggled as he ruffled your hair.
by this point, you’d come to the play structure. there was a swing set by the area, and jihoon, noticing it at the same time you did, immediately jogged towards it.
you smiled, his energy contagious as you sat down next to him on the other swing. he grinned before kicking off the ground, the chains creaking softly as he started swinging.
after a whole swinging marathon, the two of you wandered along the winding park path, chatting about anything and everything. when you were with jihoon, there always seemed to be something to talk about.
your lively laughter rang about the empty park, filling it with love and joy. the streetlights and apartment lights surrounding the park illuminated the background, encircling the you and jihoon into a private bubble. the gold and silver rays lightly lay upon your faces, casting its warmth on you.
eventually, the park lights began thinning out behind you. most of the lights in the nearby apartments had turned off, leaving only the street lamps glowing softly along the sidewalk.
you took a look at your phone. it was getting close to ten; time had really just slipped right past you.
“i think i should head back now…” you murmured, slipping your phone inside your coat pocket as you looked up at jihoon. he nodded, already matching his pace with yours. the park slowly grew quieter as the two of you made your way toward the exit.
just as you had lapsed back into your comfortable silence, jihoon suddenly stopped walking.
“wait! i have something for you. i almost forgot.” he pulled a compact red box out of his pocket and opened it. inside was a cushion on which laid a silver necklace with a pendant that twisted forming a heart. a gem you recognized as your birthstone was encased in the middle of the heart.
you let out a small gasp and lean in closer. “oh my gosh, this is so cute!”
jihoon rubbed the back of his neck shyly, flustered by your reaction.
he carefully moved your hair out of the way and fastened the clasps of the necklace around your nape. when he’d secured it, he stepped back, his hands lingering for just a moment longer before they dropped back to his sides.
you touched the pendant, feeling the cool metal between your fingers as warmth spread across your cheeks. you looked down at the necklace, the little gem catching the streetlight and refracting softly. a faint smile lingered on your face as you admired your gift.
“thank you so much, hoon.”
jihoon smiled the smile you’ve always loved so much. then, underneath the light of the bright, glowing street lamp, he cups your face in his hands gently and presses a kiss to your forehead. “happy birthday, love.”
