❝ I just feel thankful. ❞

"I can't wait to see his reaction!" chuckled Yeonji, followed by her other members. 

She was busy blowing out black and white balloons, along with Hyunji and Nara.

Chaeun and Eunhee were busy pasting Jackson's pictures on the strings of each balloon.

"This is so cute, Chaeun-ah. Why don't you do it for my birthday?" pouted Eunhee, earning a giggle from Chaeun.

"At least I gave you a polaroid camera and the latest camera. Maybe next year, okay?"

"I'm just kidding, Chaeunnie. You don't know how many times I used the canon camera, both for work and for my everyday use." Eunhee said in satisfaction, Chaeun knowing the older one is really satisfied with the gift she bought for her birthday.

Ahrin and Haejin were busy preparing the birthday cake and also cooking seaweed soup for all of them, mainly for the birthday boy.

At the same time, Chaeun's phone vibrated and she already guessed who it was.

Wang puppy

Chaeunnieeeeeee, are you free tonight?

"Did he text you?" Hyunji questioned and giving a slight smile, Chaeun nodded.

"Well, you're not the only. We got it too." Nara showed her phone towards Chaeun, as she smiled widely. Apparently, he texted Nara, asking if Chaeun is with her.

"Are you going to reply?"

"Nope. I'll let it be. It will be more suspicious if I reply." shrugged Nara.

"I got a text from Yugyeom too, I didn't reply... But I feel bad.." mumbled Hyunji, while pouting a little.

"I think everyone receives a message from the members." Eunhee voiced out and the girls look at her. "You received a message from Jinyoung?" questioned Chaeun, and the older one nodded.

"He asked if all of us are free, but I didn't reply because we are busy."

Eunhee took out her phone, showing the messages she had from Jinyoung towards the other girls.

Jinyoung Got7 

Eunhee-ah, are you and the girls free tonight?  [Read, 1 hour ago]

Jinyoung Got7 

Nevermind, you might be busy. [Read, 30 minutes ago]

"Strangely, I can imagine him saying that," commented Nara, earning a scoff from Eunhee.

"How about you Yeonji? Did Youngjae texted you?" Eunhee questioned curiously, and the younger girl turned towards the older one. 

Eunhee's eyes started to enlarge, seeing Yeonji's cheeks turning red.

"Yeonji, you look sick. Are you okay?" Hyunji looked concerned, followed by a few giggles by the other girls.

"Maknae-ah, she's not sick. She is shy."

"In-love maybe," mumbled Eunhee while glancing towards Yeonji, earning a slight glare from Yeonji.

"Yes, I received a text saying if we are free to celebrate Jackson's birthday,"said Yeonji, trying to stay calm although she was shy and embarrassed.

"Are you guys done?! We have less than an hour!" yelled Ahrin from the kitchen, and the girls instantly look at each other, seeing that they were ahead of their conversation.

The Got7 members got out of the restaurant while waving towards their manager as they parted ways, celebrating Jackson's birthday.

The birthday boy was all happy when they are inside the restaurant, plus in front of the cameras since they were doing a V-live, to celebrate together with the fans too.

Jinyoung was observing the birthday boy, as he was being sandwiched by Yugyeom and Bambam. Though he was smiling and happy, it looked like he was forcing himself.

"Jinyoung-ah, did your bodyguard reply to you?" Mark questioned softly and Jinyoung looked towards the older one, shaking his head as his answer. Mark let out a visible frown.

"Same for me. Ahrin never 'read' on me." mumbled Mark while looking at his phone. Jinyoung looked at his phone, wondering why his bodyguard didn't reply his message.

She read the message but didn't reply.

Maybe they are busy...

"Hyung, do you miss Chaeun noona?" Yugyeom asked the birthday boy, Jackson's eyes widen as he shakes his head in denial.

"What are you talking about!?! Of course not!"

"Eyyyy, hyung! You don't have to lie to us! Your face is an open book!" Bambam teased as he quickly ran away towards Mark before getting hit by Jackson, the birthday boy sighed while kicking random rocks on the floor.

Yugyeom raised an eyebrow while looking towards the leader for help. Jackson is obviously feeling moody.

"She's probably busy, Jackson-ah. Even Haejin is busy. I'm not surprised if the other girls are busy too." Jaebeom calmly said, at the same time putting his arm around the birthday boy's shoulder.

The leader was gazing towards Jackson, letting out a smile to cheer the birthday boy up.

Truthfully, Jaebeom was trying so hard not to laugh nor spoil the atmosphere. He knows what are the girls doing, and he knows where are they right now.

He knew what the girls are planning to do and everything will be revealed in about 15 minutes' time.

When Jaebeom was notified both by his manager and a phone call he had with Haejin featuring the other 6 girls, he can't help but feel happy, at the same time excited.

Chaeun had planned a birthday surprise for the birthday boy, and of course, to put it in a fun way, Haejin decided to come up a sneaky way which was not replying to all of the members, sadly including Jaebeom because it might look suspicious if Jaebeom was on his phone compared to the other members.

Jackson looks downwards, as he let out a self-cheer-up smile.

"Hyung is right. Yeonji blue ticked me... this girl..." Youngjae whines, earning chuckles from the other members as they make their way back to their dorm.

Somehow, Jackson was the first one to stand in front of their dorm door, key in the passcode before the others, meaning he really is upset that Chaeun and the other girls were not available to hang out.

It didn't matter if the girls forget his birthday, Jackson just wants to spend time with them, especially Chaeun.

He didn't want to be selfish to keep Chaeun to himself and at the same time, he didn't want to be too obvious.

With a small sigh, Jackson opens the door and as he took a step forward, he felt something soft on the floor, realizing that it was a balloon.

"What the—

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Jackson.. Happy birthday to you!"

Jackson was being cut off by a familiar voice, as she stood there in the dark, holding the cake with the light-up candle while smiling widely.

He was too shocked to even move or say a word that Chaeun had to walk towards him, standing a few inches away so that Jackson can blow the candles.

"Yah! Blow the candle!" Mark yelled at the back as he sounded impatient, knowing the others were standing outside as they didn't want to destroy the moment. Jackson quickly closed his eyes, making a wish before blowing the candles.

As the candles were blown off in a cue, the lights were quickly switched on.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKSON!"

The girls yelled in unison, followed by multiple and weird screams, coming from Haejin, and that's when the other Got7 members came into the scene, as their eyes widen to see what was in front of their eyes.

Black and white balloons were on top of the ceiling, and the boys had a good sight to see pictures of Jackson stick onto the ends of the string of the balloons.

Jackson's eyes were sparkling as he was looking up, capturing the moment with his eyes. There was a part of him that wanted to just break down because this was the first time someone had done this for him, it was too cute.

"Noona, this is so... cute! I'm going to capture this moment!" Bambam fanboyed as he quickly took out his phone, followed by the other members, taking pictures of their living room decorated with balloons.

Eunhee decided to grab the chance to take a picture of the Got7 members, and somehow Jinyoung caught her gaze.

"Is that why you didn't reply to my messages?!"Jinyoung stared at the photographer, as she could only reply to him by taking a picture of him, looking disbelief and letting out her tongue towards him.

"Yah!" Jinyoung slightly yelled jokingly, running after Eunhee after she took a run for it.

Ahrin decided to take the baton of carrying the cake with the exchange of the party hats that were supposed to wear by the members and mainly for Jackson, as she gave it to Chaeun.

Chaeun grinned widely as she put the party hat on Jackson, but she was being engulfed by a tight hug.

As Jackson pull away from her, Chaeun turned towards him, he had a tear falling on his cheeks, realizing he cried.

"Yah! Why are you crying?" Chaeun voiced became soft, as her hands automatically were onto Jackson's face, wiping his tear-off.

Jackson's eyes never left Chaeun's when she was busy wiping his cheeks.

"I just feel thankful," Jackson mumbled and Chaeun can't help but to let out a soft smile.

"You deserve it, Seunnie. You deserve the whole world. Your personality brightens the whole world and of course to your fans, not forgetting your music too!" Chaeun complimented, followed by non-stop praising of Jackson's solo work, repeating herself that she loves his collaboration with 88rising.

She even specifies which is her favorite song, mentioning tequila sunrise.

Jackson stared at her who was talking non-stop before giving a sudden peck on her cheeks, making Chaeun to suddenly stop talking while letting out a small gasp.

At the same time, they heard a few clicking sounds from a digital camera and strangely, shuttering sounds coming from phones.

Both Chaeun and Jackson looked towards where it came from, to see the others basically on their phones recording everything.

"YAH!"
