Chapter 15: Happy Birthday Jeongin !! (Pt. 2)

It was finally the day the boys would be hanging out together! Not just behind a screen or at work, but in a homey atmosphere. Jeongin's flat to be specific. Jeongin was absolutely ecstatic all day and was even more hyper as soon as Hyunjin showed up to help decorating the space for his birthday. 

It was an hour before the rest were supposed to arrive when Changbin showed up, very early with a plain red boxes in his hands. 

"Changbin?" Jeongin asked, his face scrunched up in confusion. "Why are you here so early? I thought you said you would be like ... five minutes late?" 

Changbin peaked out from behind the boxes with a nervous smile, but still visibly happy to see the youngest. "Surprise!" Changbin tried to scoot into the flat without tipping the boxes. "I only said that because I wanted to surprise you." Jeongin offered to take two of the four boxes which Changbin graciously accepted. 

"Well that's really silly, but thank you. What's with the boxes though?" Jeongin asked as he placed them on the kitchen island. 

Changbin did the same while giving a mischievous smile. "That too, is a surprise! You'll have to wait and see when the other boys get here." 

Jeongin groaned and punched Changbin's shoulder playfully. "You're killing me! Who knew you were so big on surprises?" 

Changbin rubbed his shoulder and shrugged. "It's a tradition in my family, actually. If someone's not being thrown a surprise party, we make sure there's still a few elements of surprise. It makes it more fun and keeps you on your toes." Jeongin smiled thoughtfully at that. It was a good point and it was actually fun. 

"Now, what else do y'all need help with before the other partygoers get here?"

Felix was the last to arrive, but as soon as he'd arrived he was greeted with cheers and a big hug from the birthday boy. Jeongin was smiling ear to ear, a little blue ribbon that said birthday boy was pinned to his shirt and a blue glittery party hat sat atop his pink hair. 

Felix was offered a party hat too, which he gladly snapped on his head. With everyone's party hats secured, Changbin called everyone to the kitchen so he could finally reveal his surprise for Jeongin. 

The first three boxes were full of food that he and Chan had worked together on, with the help of Hyunjin who knew all of Jeongin's favorite foods. "THAT'S WHAT THE CHEESY FOODS WAS ABOUT!?" Jisung shouted excitedly, shaking Jeongin by the shoulders. 

Jeongin's eyes were sparkling and Changbin melted at the adorable look on his face. "You guys really made all this for me?" 

"Ofcourse! It's your first birthday with us so we wanted to make it extra special!" Chan said, patting Jeongin on the back fondly. 

"That's why Hyunjin said to just worry about chips and drinks?!" Jeongin said, punching a laughing Hyunjin on the shoulder. 

"Well .. Duh, why would you want more food than any of us can consume?" Hyunjin remarked. 

"Thank you guys, so much." Jeongin said in a way that had all his friends gushing over him. 

"Awh it's no worries, Innie!" Jisung said. 

Changbin picked up the last box, a sheepish smile on his face as he brought it to Jeongin. "There's just one more thing,  I hope you like it the most."  Jeongin looked around at everyone anticipated faces and then back at Changbin.
