Why is it said "falling in love"? Should I be prepared to find myself on the ground for someone else? Should we fly away from our minds and see where we land? I think it's a big contradiction. Love is so sweet, but falling in love? That's bittersweet. When I'm in love, everything is upside down. I feel it in my stomach and I feel like I'm falling from the sky.





Title: I Don't Want To Miss A Thing (Cover)

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away and dreaming



I haven't gotten proper sleep knowing the person who owns my heart is in my bedroom peacefully sleeping. She's like a flower, full of sweetness, a loving heart, and kindness that radiates happiness from just looking at her. After cooking breakfast, I decided to play the piano and wait for Karina to wake up. The memories from last night are still fresh in my mind, giving me this feeling that I didn't want to lose. I'm happy with this feeling.


I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure



Yoo Jimin, the beat in my heart, the light in my darkness, the smile on my lips, the sparkle in my eyes, the butterflies in my stomach, and the one I admire. The urge for your heart. Her name rests between my lips like a prayer or maybe something sweeter dripping off the tip of my tongue.


Don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing



I could never express perfectly how great it felt to be with the one who made me feel like myself. Who put a smile on my face, to make me laugh until it aches, and to make me shine just like the stars.


And I don't wanna miss a thing

The sweetest dream would never do

I'd still miss you, baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing


Just then, a soft voice made my heart flutter. Halting me from continuing the song. "Good morning," She says, catching me off guard when she hugs me from behind.

"G-Good morning to you too, did you sleep well?" I ask, not moving because I was afraid she might take that I'm not comfortable with the sudden action. In all honesty, I was enjoying it.

I feel her nodding before her chin comes in contact with my shoulder. "I did until I had a bad dream," Her husky morning voice had my ear burning red and I hope she doesn't notice. God, Jimin, what are you doing to me?

"Do you want to eat breakfast? I-" I wasn't able to continue when she inches forward, arms tightening around my waist.

"Can I be honest with you Winter-ah?" She says softly yet the deepness of her voice says otherwise and I'm about to throw hands because why does it have to be this way. I'm barely surviving here.

"Y-Yeah?"

"You feel like home." Those four simple words were enough to make my heart beat like crazy. Heartbeats in tandem, a loving release. For you my love, I'm eager to please.

"Minjeong," I say as my heart swells in comfort.

"Hmm?" She hums.

I face her and wrapped my hands around hers. "You can call me Minjeong." I smile when she went from being shocked to smiling beautifully in front of me.

"Thank you, Minejong, for everything these past few weeks."

"Anything to keep that smile plastered on your face." I chuckle and lead her to the dining room for us to eat breakfast. We didn't have to worry about school since it's a Saturday. It was comforting how fast we had grown attached to one another. Karina and I talked for at least two hours and settled on the couch after breakfast.

We would talk aimlessly about random things ranging from childhood memories to places we wanted to visit. Obviously, being the romantic I was, I began noting down anything that I thought would be important in the future like movies she had always wanted to watch or for she had never tried.

"Wanna watch a horror movie?" I ask when it went silent between us. We were beside each other on the couch and seems like we ran out of topics to talk about. I turn to my side seeing Karina not saying a word which tells me she's contemplating whether to agree with me or not.

"I don't think that's a good i-idea," She stuttered the last word and I couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, you have me," I said and I don't think she was convinced to even watch the movie.

"You'll stop it when it gets scary okay?" She softly says and I nodded. She doesn't even know her actions make her look so adorable right now. I played the movie and started to eat a snack.

Before we could even get to the climax of the movie, Karina was already terrified. "I d-don-" She shrieks, turning her head away from the screen when the lights in the movie turned off. Karina's head inched closer to me and buried her face on my chest. fuck.

I couldn't help but notice the scent of vanilla assaulting through my nostrils and nerves. I don't use perfumes much and her vanilla scent is lingering around me. Karina jumped when wrapped an arm around her.

"Hey, it's alright. I'm just about to change the movie." She opened her eyes and here I was giving her a comforting smile.

"Oh, it's you," Karina's features softened.

"Let's watch bossy baby instead,"

Karina laughed before correcting me, "Minjeong-ah, it's boss baby," She continued to laugh making her eyes squint. Well, at least she isn't thinking about the horror movie now.

All throughout the day we watched, slept, and talked until it was time for Karina to go home.
