⚜️14⚜️ - Sleepless Nights

Deeming themselves recovered, Eunsook and Saejin were quick to go back to their daily lives. Eunsook acted like nothing happened to her and asked Jungkook to go to museums with her, claiming it would help him get inspiration for his music which he stopped doing when she was hospitalized and did not pick up again.

The two walked side by side, passing by each of the paintings framed on the vast wall, exchanging words of awe or bewilderment.

"Paintings can be your muse," Eunsook told him enthusiastically. "Look at all these works of art that can make your imagination run wild!"

Jungkook thought about it for a moment before chuckling to himself in disbelief for forgetting something. "I already have my muse."

"Then we didn't have to come here?" Eunsook thought to herself with a twinge of disappointment before curiously asking him, "Really? What is it?"

He smiled bashfully and turned his head away from her as a thought lingered in his mind. "More like 'who'."

Eunsook's phone suddenly buzzed in her hand as a call came. She took it to hear her mother's distressed voice and her stomach dropped.

"There was a fire in your room. Because of a short circuit I think... We could salvage some important things but your paintings and notebooks, they all burned in the accident."

Eunsook breathed out shakily to calm herself down. "Are you okay? Is everything else fine?"

"We're fine. Luckily the fire was not big. It didn't go into other rooms."

After ending the call, she sighed to herself, feeling a heavy burden weigh down on her and a wave of tears threatening to spill in front of the man beside her who was tense and troubled at her sudden shift.

"Did something happen?"

She was dangerously close to pouring it all out.

"Oh, just a little accident in my room. My paintings got ruined in the process," she said with a trembling voice, failing to mask her distress.

Just when she needed those paintings for exhibition, something like this had to happen. She had to paint so much again to get worthy enough results for display at the auction.

"I'm so sorry about that. Are you okay?" Jungkook crouched down in front of her to look at her face in worry.

"Well..." She paused and stared at his eyes. "I don't think I'm okay, but I will be."

She would be. She had to. That was what she kept telling herself. She promised herself that everything would be fine if she finished the paintings and spent the quiet nights gliding paint brushes across canvases. Drowning herself in work, she pushed herself to visit Jungkook's on a whim and try to get the wall murals done with fast.

With her heart pounding in her chest, Eunsook timidly stepped into his home, taking in the interior with her wandering eyes while Jungkook shuffled around introducing this and that. She nearly tripped over nothing when he invited her into his bedroom saying that was where he wanted her painting. The scent of fragrant fabric softener and a hint of his smell throughout the room made her mind dizzy, and she had to slap herself multiple times mentally. Like what was with her?

When asked about what he wanted, he said stars. The galaxy. The night sky filled with bright stars. As foolish as it seemed, she felt connected to him at that moment.

Providing her with whatever she needed and some snacks, Jungkook left her to do her thing in private, closing the door. The first stroke took everything in her to make since it was Jungkook's bedroom walls she was painting on, but after that she let herself loose, imagining the beauty of the starry skies. She did not notice the time flying until she heard some faint singing noises outside the door and noticed the darkness outside the windows.
