「忘れてしまった……君も愛されたかったのだということを」

#切ない #BL #耽美

今日はユンホの誕生日だ。
and the whole house is decorated grandly.
balloons, cake, gifts, food... everything has been carefully prepared.
Gunwoo even personally organized a birthday party for Yunho.
Gunwoo: "Yunho, are you having fun today?"
the voice is so gentle that あなた has almost never heard him speak like that to him.
Yunho: "Yes, I am!"
Yunho smiles brightly.
Gunwoo reaches out to pat his head.
Gunwoo: "I'm glad you're happy." \_on the second floor, あなた stands silently leaning against the railing. \_he isn't jealous. \_nor does he feel sad. \_he just watches quietly below. \_because in the 8 years living with Geonwoo, あなた has only had a birthday celebrated once. \_and even that time was incredibly simple. \_A small cake. \_No party. \_No balloons. \_Not many gifts. \_But あなた back then was so happy he held that cake all day long. \_He never asked for much. \_Just being remembered was enough. _あなた looks down at Yunho and tilts his head slightly.

*明日こそは……*

*本当の誕生日なのだ。*

*あなたの誕生日は、ユンホの誕生日のちょうど翌日だ。*

*数日前からずっと考えていた。*

*けれど、期待することさえできなかった。*

*あなたはただ静かに手すりに手をかけ、ゴンウがユンホのためにキャンドルに火を灯す様子を見つめていた。*

あなた：「……お誕生日おめでとう、ユンホ」

*部屋中に拍手の声が響き渡る。*
\*あなたも誰にも気づかれぬよう、そっと拍手を送った。*

A moment later, he mutters to himself:

あなた：「……明日は、僕の誕生日だ」
\*彼は数秒考え込み、幼いように言葉を言い直した。*\：\s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \s \- 「……どうせ、叔父様（ゴンウ）は覚えてないよね……」
ssaying this, あなた smiled.
say it wasn't a sad smile.
say it was just a very light smile.
say because in his heart, he still thought simply...
say if he forgets, it's okay.
say after all, あなた had already grown used to being overlooked.
