πŸŽ‰ Mayse's Birthday πŸŽ‚


I woke up in a silent dorm room.


Weird. There's usually yelling going on in the mornings. Where is everyone?


I thought as I consciously got out of bed and over to the bathroom. I did my business and changed into one of Haechan's hoodies since he got some good hoodies and a pair of Adidas shorts. I walked out of my room and looked around. The dorm was clean and there wasn't anyone in sight.


Did they leave already?


I wondered as my eyebrows furrowed. I walk over to the kitchen but stopped midway to look at a framed picture we had. It was all of us...but...me? I wasn't included in the picture but I remember being in it specifically. I shook my head, not thinking much of it as I entered the kitchen to grab something quick to eat. Once done, I make my way down to the company. I entered the building yet no one greeted me. I was confused as to why but ignored it. Suddenly I saw Taeyeon unnie walking towards my direction.


"Unnie!" I smiled, hoping she'd greet me a happy birthday, but she walked passed me. My smiles dropped and my head hung low. My eyes begin to sting with tears. I bit my lip and looked up, mentally begging my tears to go away. I sighed and entered the practice room and turned on a song that I was having trouble with.


Practising over and over again. I've fallen around 10 times now and my legs have a few bruises here and there. "Why is everyone ignoring me?" I asked myself. I shook the thought off and walked over to the stereo and turned on We Go Up however throughout the whole song I didn't hear my voice. Had I fallen through a portal and entered a parallel universe? By the number of times, my friends have ignored my existence I began to grow sad. Suddenly, the practise room door opened. Jaemin and Mark had entered the room. "Oppa!" I squealed happily, hopeful that they would greet me a happy birthday.


"Ah, are you a new trainee? The trainee practice rooms are a level below us. Do you want us to show you?" Jaemin asked, confused as I looked at them shocked.


They don't remember me?


"You don't remember me? It's me! Miyoung," I said, desperate for them to remember. The two boys looked at each other and shook their heads. "The second triple-debuter in NCT? The only female member of the group? Is this not ringing a bell?" I asked. Again, the two shook their heads.


"As far as I recall, I'm the only triple-debuter," Mark stated as he looked into my eyes. "And it's impossible for a singular female to join an all-male group."


I hung my head low and shook my head. "Nevermind," I mumbled and made my way to the practice room below us. When I was in the elevator, I bumped into Minho oppa. I opened my mouth to speak but after what happened with Taeyeon unnie, Jaemin and Mark. I knew he wouldn't remember me. He'd just think I'm a new trainee like Mark and Jaemin did. When I reached my level, I sighed and walked out of the elevator.


By now my smile had disappeared and my day had gone upside down. I was hoping to have a fun day with all of SM but that failed to see as almost everyone doesn't remember me anymore. I entered the trainee practice room and set up my things and plugged my phone into the stereo. Putting on TWICE's Like Ohh Ahh, I began to dance to the song, correcting my mistakes as it went on repeatedly.


Time flew quick. It was now 5 in the evening and no one had greeted me a happy birthday yet. At this point, I had given up on trying to have any of the artists try to remember me. I sighed, this hasn't been the first time I wanted to give up. Times, where I wanted to give up, was when my mum was ill and need me at home to care for her, not being able to get the choreography down before the comeback day and when I was depressed for a short time period in my life. I fell to my knees. Eye dripping with tears that traced my cheek as they fell. This has been one of the worse birthdays ever.


Everyone forgot about me. I sat down cross-legged style and gazed down at my lap. Sobbing. All I wanted today was to spend a whole day with my SM family. Suddenly the lights closed. I gasped and looked around the room, a small glow appeared. It came from candles and soon I heard various voices.


"Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~ Our lovely Miyoung-ie~ Happy birthday!" The lights were turned on and all of SM was standing before me. Smiling and clapping. Tears streamed my face as I stood up and let out a loud sob.


"Yah! I actually thought you forgot me!" I complained as all my members rushed over to me and engulfed me into a tight hug.


"We're sorry Mimi!" They yelled as they tighten their grip onto me. I let out a small whine, asking them to release me from the hug. Our CEO came up to me, a cake in his hands. I smiled and clasped my hands together, tightly closing my eyes as I mentally made my wish before opening my eyes and blowing out the candles.


I wish for NCT to always be together and to be happy and healthy for the year and 2019.


"Our princess is finally 18!" Taeyeon cheered as she claps her hands. Everyone following in suit. Being the evil maknae, Haechan grabbed a bit of frosting and wiped it onto my cheek. I squealed and glared at him.


"Yah!" I yelled at him jokingly. Soon my face was covered in frosting. I giggled and served the cake for everyone. "Please don't do this to me again. I was really upset that no one greeted me this morning," I told them as the nodded.


"We can't have our princess sad~ That'll make us sad!~" Taemin said as he ruffled my hair. I laugh and smiled brightly.
