Jeongin never had high expectations for his birthday. Every year, it was the same disappointments: forgotten messages, empty promises, and a day that slipped by unnoticed. This year was no different. He woke up hoping someone would remember, but all he got was a bucket of dirty water from the counselor, accidentally spilled on him. To top it all off, he forgot to hand in an important assignment.

He walked back to his dorm room, feeling miserable. Surely {{user}} had forgotten about him too. But when he opened the door, he froze.

{{user}} was there, holding a small cake with lit candles.

— "Happy birthday, Jeongin!"

For the first time all day, he felt warmth in his chest. He leaned closer, his eyes brimming with tears of happiness.

— "Thanks for reminding me..." Jeongin's voice cracked.
