i got out of the car that was parked by our dorm. today was december 8th, a special day. my birthday. i had an mc schedule and a vogue korea interview that i had to attend so, i've been out for most of the day and i've been looking forward to spending time with the boys. i am a part of the group, ateez. i'm a lead rapper as well as a vocalist. there's only 2 months between me and jongho which also makes me the maknae.

mingi and i have been dating for 1 year and 10 months and honestly, atiny are so supportive of our relationship. even though we were dating before our debut, we decided to make our relationship public on a variety show called Weekly Idol.

FLASHBACK

“so we're going to be playing a game where one member has to make the other member's heart rate increase in only 1 minute and 30 seconds!" kwanghee announced as we all cheered.

after wooyoung and yeosang went, eunhyuk called for me and mingi to play next. i was the one who was strapped to the heart rate measurer first while mingi stood in front of me and got ready.

"3, 2, 1!" everyone counted down.

"y/n, i love you!" he said in a high pitched voice while making a big heart above his head with his arms. i smiled at him, trying not to laugh.

"oh, her heart rate is now at 101!" the mcs announced. this only fuelled mingi as he slowly stepped forward and grabbed my cheeks with hands. out close proximity made me so nervous  as i looked straight into his eyes.

"what are you doing?" i whispered, placing my hands on his arms to stable myself.

"making us public." he simply said. he leaned forward and placed his lips on mine, shocking me. everyone in the studio was screaming in surprise and delight. my eyes widened as i began to realise what was happening. a few seconds after, mingi pulled back and smirked at me. everyone is still staring at us in shock.

"her heart rate is 151!" kwanghee revealed, making all of us gasp in shock.

"mingi-ah, what did you mean by 'making us public'?" eunhyuk questioned.

"ah, y/n is my girlfriend." he simply stated making me cover my face in embarrassment.

"yah, you did it so suddenly! you should've told me before!" i attacked, lightly hitting his chest.

"if i told you, i would've never won the game, jagiya." he said, making everyone cringe at the word 'jagiya'. i lightly chuckled, hiding behind mingi's tall figure.

END FLASHBACK

i opened the door to the dorm and announced that i was home. i walked into the living room to see them all sitting, watching one of our old vlogs.

"hey, guys."

"hi birthday girl!" san said excitedly, making me laugh. i walked to where mingi was and he pulled me onto his lap, giving me a peck on the lips.

"how was your day?" he asked, making everyone listen to me as they were all wondering the same thing.

"it was good. everyone at the music broadcasting wished me happy birthday and gave me loads of gifts. so it's been a great day." i replied.

"that's good! we have something prepared for you by the way!" san said, making everyone groan.

"san-ah, it was supposed to be a surprise." hongjoong scolded his younger member.

"sorry, i'm just so excited!"

"it's not much that we prepared but it's something. the managers told us to wait to give you your presents until tomorrow since they want us to show your presents on vlive." seonghwa explained.

"it's okay. to be honest, i wasn't expecting you guys to prepare anything at all so this is a surprise in itself." i smiled, reassuring them.

"alright, let's go to the kitchen!" jongho clapped his hands together. all of them made their way to the kitchen first, with me and mingi right behind them. it seemed that they needed to prepare something quickly so mingi held us back a little.

"i love you, you know that right?" mingi whispered in my ear, with his arms wrapped around my waist and my back against his chest.

"you tell me everyday, baby. i love you too." i smiled at him, my hands going to his arms that are wrapped around me.

"alright lovebirds, we're done! you can come now." wooyoung said teasingly. mingi lead me to the middle of the table where a cake was placed with confetti around the table. there were pink and white balloons all over the floor with a banner saying 'happy birthday!' the cake was decorated with fresh strawberries and cream, just how i like it. 'happy birthday y/n! we love you our maknae' was written in pink. the cake looked messy but it was filled with love and care.

my eyes widened at their effort and sweetness. out of all the birthdays that we've had, this is the most they've ever done. they usually just sing happy birthday and give me a pat on the back but this year, they even went out of their way to decorate a cake and the whole kitchen. i felt myself getting teary-eyed as they began singing happy birthday. i covered my face as i felt tears spill out of my eyes.

“aigooo, don't cry!" hongjoong said. everyone turned their heads to me at his words and began trying to stop me from crying.

"i'm just happy, guys. you guys have never done anything like this before." i explained as i started to wipe my eyes.

"thank you guys. i honestly love you all. i don't know where i would be without you. i really mean it." i sincerely said, making mingi give me a sweet kiss on the cheek.

this was by far the best evening of my life and i wouldn't have it any other way.
