Is she okay?

Is the only question Jungkook had as he saw Lily running around the seaside with a sparkler in her hand. Her face was covered with a mask that's why he was unable to see what expression she had on but he was more than sure that she didn't have any emotion on her face whatsoever. Why is she doing this? What was the purpose? Does anyone know?

Currently it is 8:30 at night and they were at Busan seaside. The beach was pretty crowded with a lot of people having a picnic, just sitting by the seaside enjoying the calming view of the sea, having a date, playing around with fireworks, all in all having a great time. Lily had dragged him here without telling him literally anything.

Lily had completely thrown his phone off the window of the motel so Doyoung or anyone couldn't track them. In Lily's words it's the least that 'motherfucking rat of a friend' deserves.

Lily ran to him with a sparkler in her hand and stood beside him while twirling that in her hand like a child.

" I will light one for you,"Lily casually said while getting another sparkler out of the pack she brought from the nearly store.

Jungkook sighed,"Lily, what are you up too?"

"What do you mean?"Lily asked even though she totally knew what he meant.

Why is she acting like nothing happened in the last twenty four hours? Why is she acting like her whole life hasn't turned upside down? Why is she acting like she has some big decisions to make? Why is she acting like nothing is wrong? Why are they suddenly on a vacation? Why isn't she asking how Jungkook knew Soobin? Why isn't she asking more questions about it?

Jungkook has so many questions to ask, and Lily knew all of them. But she is pretending to not know anything.

Jungkook sighed and crouched down beside her to help her with the sparklers,"I will do it. You might hurt yourself."

Lily gave the sparklers to him like a good girl and looked at him as he tried to light them up. Just by her gaze Jungkook can predict she is about to say something atrocious.

"Kook, do you think this pretty sparkly thingy can be used to murder.."

See?

"Lily stop,"Jungkook said, he really wasn't in the mood for this bullshit.

Lily was pleased with his reaction and let out a chuckle. After Jungkook handed her sparkler back and held his, Lily completely sat down on the sand. Jungkook soon followed and sat by her while holding his sparkler. The way fire sparks was emitting from the sparkler and the way it lit up Lily's face in the darkness was really pretty indeed. She really seemed to like that thing and how it let out sparks.

They sat silently for awhile, holding a sparkler each, Sometimes twirling it, looking at the sea, listening to other people's chatter a few times, enjoying the night breeze.

Lily was the first to break the silence,"Isn't it nice?"

"What?"

"This, you and I sitting here, without thinking about anything. Just sitting like nothing is up, isn't it nice?"

"Pretending that nothing is up and nothing actually being up are two total different things, Lily. The directions of our lives is at stake."

"I know. But I just want to..not think about anything for the time being, Jungkook. I want a real vacation for the first time in my life."

"But Lily you would have to face it anyway.."

"I'm painfully aware of that, Kook,"Lily sighed slowly turning to him,"But for now, being here feels nice."
