"별자리"

"Constellation"

After walking around town for a few hours, the two finally went home.
It was now night as Gyeoul went to the backyard while Beomgyu just finished bathing. As he got outside of the bathroom, he went ahead and got his phone, checking his messages, not caring if his hair was still damp.

Last message. Oct 24

Taehyunie and Riri usually text me. Weird.

He thought, finding it odd that he never received new messages, but he brushed it off and looked for the girl. "Nundeongi?" He called as he heard the girl humming in response from the backyard. So he went to the backyard and saw the girl placing some fairy lights onto the trampoline, which she covered with blankets as a smile crept on his face. "What is this for?" Beomgyu asked as he walked towards the girl, looking at the decorations she have set up. "I wanted to do star gazing with you since I know you have a hard time sleeping." Gyeoul said, getting slightly embarrassed as she avoided his eyes, making the boy chuckle as he found her adorable. "Why are you so adorable?" The now black-haired boy said as he pinched the flustered girl's soft cheeks. "Aish c-come on." The now blushing girl said, stuttering as she went inside the trampoline, her reaction made the boy giggle as he followed. "Your birthday's coming up, do you have any plans?" Beomgyu asked as they sat down inside the trampoline filled with pillows. "Nope, I don't have any plans. I would probably just spend some time with you and Yeongwon here at home." Gyeoul answered as the black-haired boy nodded in response. Then she noticed his hair was still dripping, so she went and got a small towel and gently dried the slightly flustered boy's hair. "Do you remember what you said to me when I didn't dry my hair?" She asked. "What did I say?"

"You'll get sick if you won't dry your hair, you dumb-dumb~" The girl mimicked, making Beomgyu giggle. "That was when we had a water fight, right?" Beomgyu asked as Gyeoul hummed in response. "Sigh, it feels like it happened a long time ago." He added as the girl agreed. "Yeongwon got drenched and looked traumatized." He said as they giggled. Once the boy's hair dried, they both lay down, staring at the stars and the moon. "I hope it won't rain." Gyeoul said. "It won't, there isn't a single cloud in the sky." Beomgyu answered as he chuckled.

"What do you want to do on your birthday?" The boy suddenly asked. "Anything is fine. Listening to music, watch a movie, anything." The girl answered as the black-haired boy had brewed a plan.

"Look, shooting stars!" Gyeoul excitedly said as she pointed the two shooting stars she saw, while both of them closed their eyes and made a wish.

"What did you wish for?" The girl asked as she saw the boy open his eyes.

"I wish to spend eternity with you."

"What's yours?" Beomgyu asked as he looked at the long-haired girl, curiosity evident in his eyes.
"My wish wouldn't come true if I tell you." Gyeoul jokingly said.
"Hey, that's unfair, I told you mine." The boy replied, making the girl giggle.
"You'll find my wish in a letter I gave you."

"Which one?" Beomgyu asked as they giggled. The girl really liked writing letters to the boy, especially during his birthdays. "Touché. The short letter I gave you recently, the one on your birthday."

"The one you gave me along with a flannel?" He asked as she hummed in response.
"In which part is it located?"
"It's at the bottom of the letter." "I'm giving you too much hints." Gyeoul added as she chuckled while they continued staring at the night sky.
"How can you remember things clearly?"
"I just can." The girl replied as she chuckled. "Where did you get that sudden confidence from?" He asked as he turned to his side to face the girl who was staring at the brightest star she found, making him smile.
"From the ice creams we ate earlier." She answered as she felt the boy's stare.

The two then went silent as time passed, watching the night sky dotted with twinkling stars along with the crescent shaped moon. The boy's mind was at ease; he was in a state of serenity, while the girl had suddenly remembered her worries.

Three more days...

Gyeoul thought as she looked at black-haired boy who finally drifted to sleep. A small smile crept on her face as she placed a blanket on the sleeping boy, and planted a soft kiss on his forehead.

I'm not ready yet.
