jQuery change does not trigger when a dropdownlist holds one item

I am trying to trigger events when options in a dropdown are clicked on. I couldn't find anything that explains how to do this. What I want is to fire the event and use the value of it. When i use .on instead of .change I fire the event everytime the select is clicked and thats not what I want because I only want to use the value of the selected item.

Assume this is dynamically generated:

<select id="dropdownOne">
<option value="1">NumberOne</option>
</select>

Assume this is dynamically generated:

<select id="dropdownTwo">
<option value="1">NumberOne</option>
<option value="2">NumberTwo</option>
</select>

JS:

$("select").change("click", function () {
    //This event is not fired in dropdown one

    //This event is only fired in dropdown two if I change the option
    var value = $(this).val();

    if(value == 1){
        console.log("This logs number 1");
    }else{
        console.log("This logs number 2");
    }
}

How can I:

• Trigger the event on an item in a dropdownlist that holds only one item
• Trigger the event on an item that is clicked multiple times

EDIT: So, my question was marked as a duplicate:

How to call onchange event when dropdown values are same

The "duplicate" has 6 answers:

Vicky Kumar: Says the code of that question is fine and working. This answer does not contribute to my problem

ajpocus: Has an answer, got edited later saying that it doesn't work. Doesn't work

Krupesh Kotecha: Uses a click event on the select, same behaviour as .on This is not what I want

Teja: Fixes the problem for that question but not mine, still doesn't trigger any event when te select only has 1 option or when you click an option more than once This is not what I want

charu joshi: Uses .on event with :option selecter, doesn't work because the :option selecter is unknown, can also not be found in the jQuery API documentation Doesn't work

derp: This answer explains how to remove duplicates and then uses the change event, this might work for the question of the "duplicate" but I never load in duplicate items in my select, and even then it still uses the change event which doesn't do what I want as explained in my question This answer does not contribute to my problem

So all of the above answers from the "duplicate" question do not apply to my problem/question. Also none of those answers were marked as accepted by the original poster.
