The two girls seemed to be completely unaware of the one person that witnessed their shared kiss.

It had been settled, tonight was the night that Sooah would ask Jinsoul to be her girlfriend. The two had been seeing one another in secret for over four months now and Sooah didn't want to miss her opportunity. She had gathered a bunch of the girls favorite foods and packed it into a bag along with a few blankets and jars just in case they wanted to catch a few fireflies.

There was this superstition that the students once believed in when Sooahs mother attended the university. It was said that if you and someone you loved caught fireflies on a night where the sky was full of stars, you were guaranteed to be with them. It was how her mother had met her father and the two of them were now going on strong for thirty years.

Smiling as she made her way down the dirt trail and into the woods behind campus, she felt butterflies in the pit of her stomach. Tonight she would finally ask the girl that had continuously occupied her thoughts to be her girlfriend.

She spotted Jinsoul standing near the lake, her blonde locks seemed to shine under the moonlight as she stood watching the moon reflect itself onto the lake. To her the girl looked surreal, like aphrodite herself had created her by hand and gifted her to the world.

Silently approaching her she snaked her arms around her from behind engulfing her in a warm hug and taking in her warmth.

"You're here earlier than I thought you would be." Sooah admits, knowing that usually Jinsoul would always show up places fashionably late even when it came to the plans they would make together.

"The fireflies usually come out a little earlier so I wanted to be here just in case we missed them, you know so I could take pictures of them just in case."

"Well since you're here you can help me set up, I was going to have everything ready when you got here but you're already here early." Sooah responds with a small pout on her lips which earns a soft chuckle from Jinsoul.

The two set up their blankets and snacks before finally taking a seat beneath the moss tree beside the lake. They sat there for hours and hours just talking and feeding snacks to one another, it was as if they were the only two in the world. Allowing themselves to be lost in the silence of the starry night. The entire night Sooah would find herself staring at Jinsoul whenever the girl would be looking at the stars or the scenic view of nature surrounding them. The sound of crickets chirping began to fill the ever so silent night and a flicker of yellow light was spotted creeping out past a few of the trees.
