▹ The birthday key

"You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with my house being covered in balloons and flowers, would you, Mr Lee?"

George rolled his lips together, pressing the phone tighter against his ear. "I might have been... happy birthday!"

"George! My house is drowning in flowers and balloons, we can hardly move!" She playfully scolded him, a laugh rolling off her tongue. "This better be all you have gotten me."

George cringed, glancing back to the table full of gifts he had purchased. "There might be a little bit more, but it's your special day! So you can't complain."

"You're too rich for your own good, I will be confiscating that black card."

George chuckled. "Go enjoy your birthday, I will see you tonight for our special meal. I love you, pretty!"

"I love you more," she replied, sincerely as she blew a kiss into the speaker before hanging up. George sighed and stuffed the phone into his pocket as the door swung open.

Jungkook, Chaehyun, Charlie, Hoseok and Jin all entered carrying heart shaped decorations.

"You just had to rub me being newly single right in my face, didn't you?" Chaehyun groaned as he set a box down. "I thought you were taking her out for a meal, why do you even need all of this stuff?"

"Because once we come back here after the meal, im going to-"

"Ask her to marry you?!" Hoseok gasped, covering his mouth with his hand.

Charlie snorted. "I hope she says no, that would be comical."

George tossed a heart shaped chocolate at his head.

"I'm not proposing, it's too soon for that. But I am, going to surprise her with a key to my apartment."

The group of men all stared at him, their smiles fading away. The silence made George wince.

"What?"

"You're doing all this just so you can give her a key to your apartment?" Jungkook quizzed.

George scratched his head. "Too much?"

"A little," the group replied at once.

The anxiety set in seconds later. "Bin it all! I'll just settle for the meal. I don't want to over do it."

The group of boys shared a look as George slid down onto the floor, running his hands through his hair aggressively. Rolling his eyes, Charlie grabbed a handful of chocolates and began launching them at George, who held his hand up to shield himself.

"Ou-wha-Charlie! What are y-ouch!"

"Stop stressing!" Charlie scolded him, throwing another chocolate at his head. "She loves you so much that she would be satisfied with a banana and a plastic ring. Don't over do it, just take her for the meal and then come home, crack open a glass of wine and watch a movie then you can hand her the key. Simple!"

George bit his lip nervously. "Do you think she would be happy with that?"

"Of course. George she adores you! She likes simple," Jin told him. "Now stop being an idiot and stand up."

Jin took a chocolate from Charlie's hand and threw it at George.

"I said stand up!"

George groaned and pushed himself up off the ground and dusted himself off.

"Now you're going to go and get dressed and make sure everything is still set in place for your meal, whilst we get rid of all of this stuff!" Hoseok announced.

Suddenly, shuffling could be heard and when everyone turned to look at the corner, they saw Jin and Chaehyun sharing a box of chocolates.

"It would've been a waste..." Chaehyun spoke with a mouth full of chocolate.

"Good heavens."

"How was the birthday?"

"Busy! But I am happy I am able to spend the night with my favourite man."

George smirked proudly, adjusting his tie as she leaned over to kiss his cheek. She looked absolutely stunning, and George couldn't help but feel nervous around her.

Chungha picked up on it immediately.

"Are you okay? You look nauseous. Did Chaehyun pull the 'does you bones not feel dirty' card again to make you cry? I'll beat his ass-"

"No no, but now you've mentioned it my bones feel dirty so thank you for that. I just don't wanna ruin this."

She frowned. "Ruin what?"

"Us. I just worry that one day you will realize how much better you are than me and you'll find someone better."

"First of all, Lee. There's no one on this planet that I would rather be with than you. Second, you are the best boyfriend I have ever had. No other man had ever gone to the lengths of filling up my entire home with flowers and balloons. You remind me everyday of how much you love me and how beautiful I am, you make me laugh when I don't even feel like smiling. Need I go on?"

"You can if you wanna fuel my ego even more."

Chungha reached over and swatted his arm.

"I wanna gonna wait until we got to my apartment to do this," George trailed off, as he reached into his pocket to pull out a box which he then slid over to her. "But I think now would be better."

Suspicious, Chungha took the box and opened it up. The look on her face faded into one of confusion as she pulled out the key.

"I'm not asking you to move in yet, don't worry, but I'm giving you a key to my apartment. So you can enter whenever you desire because it texturally is your home too."

Chungha held the key to her heart and pouted, her eyes welling up.

"That's so sweet!"

George smiled, reaching over to grab her hand. "Happy birthday, pretty."

"Thank you, handsome."
