raena and yoongi received stares as they walked through the park they had once been in where they chased each other.

raena's shirt was receiving fingers from giggling people while their hats were receiving coos from couples.

"hey my feet kinda hurt, wanna go sit on the swings?" raena asked, gesturing to the dimly lit playground just a few feet away from them.

yoongi's face scrunched as he imagined the dust and leaves that must have been on them. but his feet hurt too so he agreed and soon they were swinging their feet in sync as they sat on the dusty swings.

"yoongi,"raena called after a comfortable silence.

yoongi hummed back in response.

"do you live with anyone? i don't know if that's too weird of a question? it's just we always seem to meet on the bus and I wonder if there's anyone you come home to?" raena asked, giving him a side glanced as he slowed his swinging feet.

"well, not really. i have a dog who my neighbor takes care of when I'm not home. i have a family but we don't talk really," yoongi shared, staring at the pebbles on the ground. "you?"

"we tend to avoid our parents because of some differences. but we love them nonetheless. i live with my brother. my twin."

yoongi playful groaned, "oh no there's two of you?"

raena resisted the urge to push him out of his swing and laughed.

"shut up!"

"my bad," yoongi smiled.

"well his name is jeongguk. he's really great but also a jerk. he's going through something rough and refuses to have any hope or optimism like i do. i wish he would get back to his actual passions of art. all kinds of art. he would sing, dance, draw, record." raena said thinking wistfully about her brother.

"that's cool, i hope he does well. i know the music and art industry is hard to get a job in," yoongi nodded.

raena hummed in response and the two sat in silence for a bit just staring at the dark sky and the stars.

"so what else happens in an all-nighter?" raena asked.

yoongi cocked his head to the side and thought for a moment. "well i usually pull all-nighters when i have to do something productive but since we have nothing to do, we should do the opposite and do something not productive."

raena faked a gasp. "you're saying you want to be...irresponsible?"

yoongi held back a laugh. "I guess. I had a stressful day so think about anything that is 24/7 always open and fun."

raena thought for a moment and gasped, "what about a carnival?"

yoongi resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "there are no carnivals in town."

"what about watching a movie?"

"depends on the movie." yoongi shrugged considering the suggestion. it would be a good thing to waste time before it becomes really late.

"if it's a boring one, i'll end up falling asleep—"

"—and if it's really good i don't think i wanna do anything after that."

raena winked, making him flustered. "look at us, yoongs, finishing each other's sentences—"

"okay! let's go to the movies and we'll figure it out from there," yoongi stood up from the swing, dusting the powder and leaves off his pants, and began making his way out of the park making a laughing raena scramble out of her seat and run after him.
