⚜️10⚜️ - Starry Night

Eunsook stirred awake from the weight on her shoulders and back. Through hazy eyes, she looked at Jungkook retracting his hands and leaning backwards with wide round eyes from where he stood beside her. She realized that she woke up from the jacket he put around her.

"I fell asleep?" She asked with a scratchy voice and yawned.

Jungkook chuckled at how cute she looked when waking up and still being sleepy. "It's very late. You should've gone home earlier without waiting for me."

She huffed after looking at the dark sky outside the classroom window. "Right back at you. Just practice at home."

He picked up his belongings and shoved them into his bag. "Alright. Let's go then. It's already so late. I'll send you home."

"That's actually something someone with a car says, you know?" She chuckled and put his jacket on his shoulders.

Jungkook laughed as they headed out. "Please, what do you want from a broke university student?"

Eunsook smiled and matched her footsteps with his as they walked. "Well, as long as you accompany me safely, nothing else matters."

"And with warmth," he said as he wrapped his jacket around her again when he noticed she did not bring any.

Jittery feelings bloomed in Eunsook and she snuggled into the collars of the jacket. It was indeed warm. But her cheeks were growing warmer when Jungkook held her hand and slipped it inside his hoodie pocket. His hand was warmer than the jacket. Her chest squeezed and she questioned the action for any meaning in her head, but told herself not to overthink. The last thing she wanted was to create misunderstandings between them.

Though, she was unaware of Jungkook's heart fluttering in his chest as he held her hand. He would never tell her how he spent the last ten minutes watching her sleep peacefully, in awe of her and in worry of waking her until he finally convinced himself that she would not wake up from a jacket being placed on her. Every time she stayed with him until late, gravity was nonexistent to him. It was her instead.

"Oh my goodness, the stars look so pretty today!"

Eunsook sounded so lovely that Jungkook did not look at the sky first, he looked at her and saw her pretty glimmering eyes staring up in wonder and lips forming a pretty smile. When he looked up, Eunsook glanced at him and captured the image in her memory. Stars and Jungkook looked like they belonged together.

She could not look away when he turned to her.

"Do you really like stars?"

She smiled bashfully. "I think more than the average person?"

He hummed and nodded to himself which she found adorable. "If you want, I know a place you can see the stars a little more clearly around her."

Obviously, she would have agreed. Even if it did not look good, she would have enjoyed it, but a loud gasp left her as soon as she beheld the breathtaking view of numerous bright diamonds dazzling the night sky on top of the picturesque sea of colorful lights illuminating the cityscape. She immediately imagined it on a canvas and desperately needed to paint it. Mentally calculating every color combination and the order of painting, she was barely holding herself.

"Do you like it?"

She turned to see Jungkook sitting on one of the blocks of barrier, facing her with a little head tilt and a soft smile, and her heart seized. She could do nothing but stare at the sight, until Jungkook swept his soft locks across his forehead with a head shake to eye her in question.

"I love..." she whispered, her breath clearly knocked out of her.

Jungkook's eyes widened, his heart skipping a beat.

"I love it. It's a beautiful sight," Eunsook continued, making him smile. He felt confidence surge within him seeing her enjoy it so much. "Not only the stars, but the city lights together makes it so so beautiful."

Jungkook turned his head to the city lights and Eunsook memorized every line and color she saw on him.

"They are, but I prefer to be in the dark."

She blinked. "What?"

Jungkook smiled at her. "Yeah, they hurt my eyes. It's too flashy, sorry."

Eunsook pouted and sat beside him, facing him with a frown. "A little is ok if you can witness something beautiful like this. Once in a while."

"Maybe. It is nice if I watch it with you." He grinned at her, his eyes forming soft crescents, and she forgot to breathe. "Because compared to the dark, it's comforting when someone's next to me even though I don't like bright places."

Dazed, she had to remind herself not to get ahead of herself even when she arrived home. A fear that this friendship could crumble and be buried if she made a mistake was stronger than her lighthearted feelings as her previous relationships were always short-lived. The same with Jungkook. He was careful with how he acted when his feelings became overwhelming, and he wanted to enjoy his time with her more than anything.

Eunsook brought out a white canvas and placed it on her easel. Her fingers traced the canvas in the shape of him as she remembered the scene of his hair fluttering in the wind and the city lights reflected against him, mesmerizing her. Grabbing her pencil, she started drawing the lines.

Her other paintings around the room reminded her of Taehyung, and she grabbed her phone to send a message to him to ask how he was doing. She did not expect him to be busy at such a late hour since he did not see the message for a long while.

Taehyung was bleeding from his hand and his head was spinning. Jieun was shellshocked under him as their eyes met, unable to move. Their hearts hammered against their chests.

"Are you okay?" He asked her.

The staffs around the filming set screamed and ran towards them to lift the heavy prop that was crushing Taehyung. Even though he usually gave her the cold shoulder, he shielded Jieun from a falling prop that caused such an accident.

"Medic!"

"Are you two alright?!"

Taehyung was lifted by the staffs and sent to emergency. Lately, bad luck seemed to follow him around, but it could have all been in his head. He did not let anyone know about this incident and distanced himself from the others for a few days.

When Eunsook asked him if he wanted to go to the university festival and party, he had to say he was busy to not worry her.
