As they danced, Gin's earlier doubts and frustrations began to melt away, replaced by the sheer, heartfelt gesture that Jeno had orchestrated. The beauty of the moment, combined with the genuine affection Jeno displayed, was a poignant reminder of the connection they still shared.
With each step and each gentle sway, Gin allowed herself to be enveloped by the romance of the dance, her heart gradually opening to the possibility of reconciliation and understanding. The surprise, the music, and the dance created a tender space where they could momentarily bridge the gap that had grown between them.
After the dance, everyone greeted her and gave their gifts. Then led Gin to her seat. Jeno started talking, "This day was very special not just to me but most to my one and only Gin. By the way, before I begin my romantic speech, I would like to say sorry for not to talk, text or call you for the past few days. I'm really sorry but you should know that it was not my plan, it was a plan of everybody." Gin was shocked, "what?" and everyone laugh.
After their intimate dance, the room buzzed with renewed energy. Gin was led back to her seat amidst the cheerful congratulations and well-wishes from her friends. Each one took a moment to greet her and present their gifts, adding to the festive atmosphere. The warmth and joy of the celebration enveloped her, making the surprise feel even more special.
Jeno stepped up to the front, his voice capturing everyone's attention. A hint of nervousness softened the confidence in his tone as he began to speak. "This day is very special, not just to me but, most of all, to my one and only Gin," he said, his gaze locked on her with affection.
He paused, taking a deep breath before continuing. "Before I start my romantic speech, I want to apologize for not talking, texting, or calling you for the past few days. I'm really sorry. You should know that it was not my plan—it was a plan of everybody."
The room erupted in laughter at Jeno's revelation. Gin's eyes widened in disbelief, her heart racing as she tried to process his words. "What?" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of shock and curiosity.
Jeno smiled, a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. "Yes, everyone was in on the surprise. They knew I wanted to make this day special for you, so they all kept quiet about my absence to build up the surprise."
The laughter and playful teasing from her friends filled the room, and Gin couldn't help but join in. The initial shock melted into a warm, understanding smile. The revelation was a testament to the effort and thoughtfulness that had gone into making her birthday memorable.
Jeno took her hand once more, his expression sincere as he continued. "I wanted to show you just how much you mean to me, and I hope today's surprise made up for the silence."
Gin's heart swelled with emotion. The surprise, while initially confusing and frustrating, had ultimately turned into a beautiful testament to Jeno's affection and the support of her friends. She felt a wave of relief and happiness, the earlier tension dissolving into the joy of the present moment.
As the laughter subsided and the room settled into a more serene atmosphere, Gin felt a deep sense of gratitude and connection. The surprises and the heartfelt moments had made her birthday truly unforgettable, bridging gaps and reaffirming the special bond she shared with Jeno and her friends.
As the party continued to buzz with laughter and celebration, the atmosphere was filled with a palpable sense of joy. Gin felt her heart lift with every smile and congratulatory hug she received. The earlier surprises and heartfelt moments had transformed her birthday into a truly memorable occasion, and she was soaking up every bit of the happiness around her.
In the midst of the festivities, the door to the function hall opened, and in walked the white girl from earlier, her presence immediately drawing Gin's attention. The girl's arrival was unexpected, adding a new layer of surprise to the evening. She approached with a warm smile, her voice carrying over the music as she cheerfully called out, "Happyyy birthdayyyyy!"
Gin's eyes widened in astonishment. She hadn't anticipated seeing the girl again, let alone at her own birthday party. The unexpected guest's appearance added a new twist to the evening's surprises, leaving Gin both curious and slightly bewildered.
Jeno, who had been mingling with the other guests, noticed the girl's arrival and made his way over to greet her. He shared a warm smile with her before leaning in to give her a gentle kiss on the cheek. The gesture seemed intimate, and Gin couldn't help but feel a pang of confusion as she observed the interaction.
The girl then approached Gin, extending a beautifully wrapped gift with a flourish. "I wanted to come and wish you a happy birthday personally," she said, her voice kind and sincere. She handed the gift to Gin with a hug, and then, to Gin's further surprise, kissed her on the cheek.
The unexpected show of affection and the thoughtful gift from someone she barely knew added to the evening's whirlwind of emotions. Gin accepted the gift, feeling a mix of gratitude and intrigue. The girl's presence and the friendly gesture were genuine, and despite the lingering questions about her relationship with Jeno, Gin chose to embrace the moment.
As the party continued around them, Gin's attention shifted back to the festivities, but she couldn't shake the curiosity about the girl's role in Jeno's life and the evening's events. The surprises of the day had left her with a heart full of mixed emotions, but also with an appreciation for the unexpected and the connections that had been reaffirmed.
Gin also felt ease but still wander who this girl was. As Jeno kissed her on the cheek, Gin was about to outburst but she hold herself just not to ruin the celebration. Jeno utter, "by the way, this is my sister Jana, she just got here from US."
