Birthdays have always held a special place in your heart. You not only cherish your own birthday but also go the extra mile to make your teammates feel special on their big days. You enjoy choosing thoughtful gifts, organizing surprise celebrations, and simply ensuring that everyone feels appreciated and joyful on their special day.
As your birthday was just a week away, you couldn't help but notice that your teammates didn't seem to be treating the upcoming event any differently. Despite your anticipation, their behaviour didn't give anything away, and you wondered if they were intentionally trying to keep things under wraps.
They didn't seem to notice that with each passing day, you were becoming more restless and fidgety. To them, you appeared to be your regular cheerful and effervescent self.
You woke up on the morning of your birthday and lingered in bed for a few moments, excited to see what surprises awaited you from your teammates. However, as you glanced around the empty room, a wave of disappointment washed over you. You had hoped for an enthusiastic celebration, but the absence of your teammates left you feeling let down.
Despite feeling a twinge of sadness, you convinced yourself that they might be planning a surprise for later in the day. As the hours passed without any acknowledgment of your special day, the sinking feeling set in - it seemed like everyone had forgotten your birthday.
The realization stung, causing genuine hurt. Despite this, you made a conscious effort to maintain a cheerful facade throughout the day, not wanting your own disappointment to overshadow the mood for others.
As the day drew to a close, you found yourself sitting alone in the spacious common room. In front of you was a delicious cupcake, adorned with a single flickering candle. Lost in thought, you sat there, enveloped in a quiet atmosphere.
You didn't notice as König walked past the room, only to pause when he saw you alone, seeing the cupcake and candle, the realization and guilt hit him. It was your birthday.
