LONELY EYES || JJK

#04

They are working, quietly. Binna is sketching, the light strokes of her graphite pencil leaving marks on the paper as she creates something new. She is seated on the heavy wooden chair in the library, the smell of wood dominating her sense and make her focus harshly.

Jungkook is writing lyrics for a song. Well, attempting to write lyrics for a song.
He grumbled in frustration when he can't finish the line. He tears the paper from his notepad, harshly reaching for the corner and bringing them in until the lined paper is crumpled into a ball resting in his palm.

He stared at the deep auburn of the desk. His eyes moved forward to look at the paper. She's drawing his eyes.

Then he looks up. He observed the girl sitting across him. He watched her mascara covered lashes fall down to her cheeks before they raise up again.
He follows the soft furrow of her eyebrows, tracing the lines that form from her anger.

It takes the girl few moments, but soon she looks up, catching the boy's gaze already on her. Not that he was trying to hide it. He focused on her eyes, watching the shard of brown spread across her irises, as if a drop of dye had dispersed into a bowl of water. Her eyes were lighter than his, and softer.

He holds her gaze for as long as he can before tearing his away and beginning to write again. If you wanted Jungkook to tell you what exactly he was staring at, he wouldn't know himself. But in that moment, he just couldn't look away.

The emotion behind her chocolate irises was easy to identify. It was identical to his.
