━━ lee jiho : 2023 jiho day birthday surprise
the beginning of his birthday is nothing new really. he's in the studio late as usual, looking at the different things that he's been working on and trying to think if any of it is good enough to even bother to submit to the higher-ups.
his phone goes off with a bunch of messages at once, and he looks up from his laptop screen, surprised by the buzzing. he's not really expecting anyone to be calling him but the time and date on his screen have him realizing why people are suddenly messaging him.
he smiles, reading the texts from his parents and his cousins and friends and responds to them all before he goes onto twitter. he had completely forgotten that his birthday was coming up, considering everything was usually halloween-focused around this time. it's nice that the fans forgo their halloween celebrations to celebrate his birthday though, and he scrolls through the fan-voted hashtag for his birthday for a while, smiling to himself and saving some cute fanarts to use as a lockscreen one day or something.
deciding that tonight of all nights is a good one to sleep early, he heads back to the agito dorm and greets whoever is awake before he goes to sleep.
the next morning, jiho doesn't really expect anything but he's surprised by a meeting with kyuwon. he goes into the meeting a bit confused but he can't help the excitement that builds as their manager tells him about the new girl group that's debuting soon.
his brain is already whirring with ideas, thinking about which little snippets of songs on his laptop could be tweaked and edited to make this debut song a perfect one. the concept is one that he thinks is similar enough to agito's that it could possibly work, and they walk back to his studio together.
opening the door, he's about to say goodbye to their manager when the lights flick on and his eyes widen, flinching just slightly when the streamers and horns go off.
"wait ..." he pauses, squinting at the other agito members in slight amusement before realizing it's a birthday surprise and he laughs, walking into the room and looking around. it's decorated a bit haphazardly but he's touched anyway, and the cake is cute with a cat on it.
he thanks everyone happily and he sits down at his desk in front of the cake, the candles lit and he closes his eyes to make a wish like he's been told to.
after that, he blows out the candles.
( "wait—does that mean i'm not producing a song then?" )
