Happy Birthday Alex!
A week before my birthday…
I sighed deeply as I flopped onto my bed. I closed my eyes tightly and imagined my life differently. I opened my eyes a little, the light in my bedroom blinding me for just a moment, and sat up. I picked up my phone and stared at the messages I had sent to Jong Hyun, your boyfriend of 3 years. Lately, he's been extremely busy resulting in him not being able to reply to my messages and calls or come see me the past few days.
"I wonder what he's doing right now..." I wondered to myself as I put my phone back on its charger and headed to the kitchen to grab something to eat because you realized how hungry I was. All day, I’ve been worrying about Jong Hyun's silence. I am the type of person to forget basic things like eating when Jong Hyun is on my mind.
He’s a guitarist for a band called as CNBLUE. Consist of four people. Yong Hwa as leader, he’s a guitarist, Min Hyuk as a drummer and Jung shin as bassists.
I am totally aware that he must be busy because his world tour will begin in two months. But, I wonder why he’s not answering my call. At least, pick up and tell me that he’s busy. I will understand that.
Suddenly, my phone ringed. I ran to my room and grabbed my phone dramatically. I smile a little when I see a name on the screen.
“Jong Hyun!” I called out his name.
“Hm, Alex.” He replied in monotonously. My eyebrows furrowed at his answer. I ignored it. He must be tired.
“What are you doing right now?”
“Practicing. You know I have tour in two months.”
“Yup, I know.”
“What do you want? You leave me with 98 missed calls.”
“I..I just miss you.” I mumbled. He chuckled a bit.
“Alex, you know that I busy enough.”
“Yes, I know. But at least, give me a wish every day. A simple ‘good morning’ or ‘good night’. You’ve changed. Completely” I complained.
“I’m not. You know I’m not. I’m just being busy.”
“Excuses.”
“If you can’t handle it anymore, leave me.” I startled a bit.
“Wh..what are you talking about?!” I yelled annoyingly.
“Let’s break up if you can’t stand with my busy schedule.”
“Jong Hyun!”
He hung up. I fell on the floor. Crying.

Two days after our fight, he still didn’t contact me. I feel so sad. How could he do this to me. I’m his girlfriend. Somehow, I wish everything will back to three years ago when he doesn’t famous like today. But it just makes me as cruel person. It’s his dream and he has achieved it. I shouldn’t hope things like that.
I walked along the streets after watching a movie. Alone. It’s normal for me because Jong Hyun always cancel our date every time. So, I’ll end up alone.
My eyes stopped at a familiar figure in coffee shop. I widened my eyes, to make sure what I saw is real. Jong Hyun with unknown girl. I let out a sigh. Trying to comfort myself.
I pulled out my phone and texted him.
‘Jong Hyun, are you busy?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘Where are you right now?’
‘At agency of course.’
He’s cheating on me. I can feel that. I quickly wiped my tears and leave the coffee shop.

On my birthday. 17th February 2015
My family and friends sent me a lot of wishes on my birthday. My best friend that lives in UK also sent me flowers and cupcakes to me.
I stared at my phone. Waiting for his message. I sighed.
He didn’t message me at all. On my special day.
17th February, 11,00 p.m.
So that was it. I’ve been waiting since midnight. Been waiting for my one and only one Lee Jong Hyun.
17th February 2015, 4.50 p.m
I still waiting for my door being buzzed and someone will sent me anything from Jong Hyun but nothing happened.
17th February 2015, 6.30 p.m
My tears are coming down since earlier. How could he forgot. It’s not like we’re just dating. We’ve dating for ing three years!
My eyeballs will fall off in no time because I continuously stared at my screen phone. Yeah, who knows if he stills remembers.
It’s not like I want expensive present from him and things. I just want him to remember.
17th February 2015, 9.00 p.m
Suddenly, I remember his word before.
“Last means forever.”
That’s what he told me during my last birthday. He purposely acting like he doesn’t remember for the whole day, but at the very end of 12.00 a.m, he surprised me with cupcakes and serenades me with his voice and guitar. He sang a happy birthday song in five different languages just for me. He’s so sweet back then.
I miss it. I miss the old Jong Hyun.
17th February 2015, 11.00 p.m.
I still don’t want to give up. I promised myself to wait. I’ve been waiting for him whole day, I shouldn’t give up even though I only have one hour left before my birthday ends.
17th February 2015, 11.30 p.m
Nothing happened. I have already yawning for many times. Probably he’s with his new girlfriend, oh wait, he didn’t even come to me to break up right? So, I’m still his girlfriend. A tear rolls down to my soft cheeks.
17th February 2015, 11.45 p.m
He still didn’t come, or call me or at least, send me a message.
17th February 2015, 11.58 p.m
It sounded stupid but I’m still waiting. Call me stupid because love has completely blinded me.
17th February 2015, 11.59 p.m
‘Last means forever.’
I hold onto this. I know I don’t have any hopes anymore. He totally forgets about me. I’m thinking of break up with him. I don’t deserve him anymore. He has no feelings towards me anymore. I cried.
18th February 2015, 12.01 a.m
That was it. When I was about to pull up my blanket, I heard someone ringed my doorbell. I ran towards the door and opened it up.
Jong Hyun was panting really hard.
I stared at him.
He stared at me.
“I’m sorry Alex. I’m trapped in traffic jammed. By the way, happy birthday.” He smiled until his dimples appeared and give me a small cupcake.
I looked at him with teary eyes.
He still remembers.
“I know that I’ve been too busy these days, but believe me, I’ll never cheat on you. You’re still my shining stars that always shine me from above.” He took a breath and continues. “Alex, happy birthday again. Thank you for being with me during good and bad times. I owe you too much.”
As soon as he completed his sentence, I hugged him. It feels nice to be in his embrace. He buried his face on my neck.
“And I love you so much.” He whispered in my ears.
“I love you too Jong Hyun. I thought you’re already forgot.”
“How could I forgot my princess’ birthday?” I chuckled a bit at his cheesiness.
“I don’t know you can be so cheesy like this.” I said in teasing voice. He rolled his eyes. Suddenly he let me go.
“Wait, I have something else for you.” He knelt down. My heart thumping like crazy at that time. Its gonna explode in no time.
“Alexandra Issabelle, will you marry me?” he pulled out a ring from his pocket. My jaw dropped.
“Don’t be too shocked, answer me already. Your silence makes me feel nervous.” He chuckled.
“Of course I do!!” I hugged him tightly. I heard noises.
“Whoa—Jong Hyun hyung looks so charming and cool!” Jung Shin exclaimed.
“Looks like Jong Hyun will get marry first before me.” Yong Hwa faked a sob. Min Hyuk smashed Yong Hwa’s shoulders.
“Congrats, Jong Hyun, Alex.” Min Hyuk smiled.
“By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!” three of them yelled and whistling.
“Thank you guys.” I smiled.
They hugged me tightly and I can hear Jong Hyun cough.
“Guys, that’s my future wife, don’t hug her too tight. I’m jealous.” His words make me smiled insanely.
“Aish, hyung! Don’t be too greedy. What yours is mine too.” Jung Shin said it jokingly.
Jong Hyun wrapped his arms around me securely cause the guys ‘aw-ing’ nonstop.
“She’s mine and only mine. Jung Shin, go and find your own girlfriends. Don’t disturb mine.” Jung Shin grinned cheerfully. The guys then chanted ‘KISS KISS KISS’ and Jong Hyun leaned closer to me and pecked my lips.
“I love you.” He said lovingly.
“I love you too.” I replied.
Jung Shin act like he’s gonna puke while Yong Hwa and Min Hyuk grinned happily. I looked right into Jong Hyun’s eyes.
“Next time, don’t do this. You know, I cried so many times today.” He patted my head.
“I’m sorry for making you cry.” He tighten his arms around my waist.
“Ah ~ hyung! Get a room already!!!” Jung Shin yelled in annoying tone. Everyone laughed.
That was the best the birthday ever.
