Jungkook's pov

I sit looking at the moon, trying to come up with a good romance plot. my mind is completely blank. I can't think of anything new. As I sit trying to come up with something, I footsteps. I look back to see Taehyung come and stand next to me. 

" why are you awake at this time?" I ask him.

he chuckles, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? I just woke up to drink water but didn't find you anywhere so I thought you ran away. so I came to check on you. why are you not sleeping? what are you doing?"

I explain, "I have a deadline. I have to come up with an outline sketch of my next novel till next Tuesday and I don't have any ideas on what to write it about."

he replies, "You still have a whole week. you must be tired today. go to sleep na..."

I laugh, " I'll spend the whole week procrastinating if I don't do it now. besides, my anxiety is not letting me sleep without at least coming up with an idea for it."

Taehyung sits on the chair beside me and asks, "ok... fine... how do you usually do this?"

I answer, " I don't know. It just occurs to me. It comes naturally. I can't sit down and decide to be creative. it comes to me when I listen to a song or when I'm driving a car or making coffee. or when someone says something to me. "

Taehyung smiles and says, "How did you get the idea of your previous novel?"

I reply, "So, I was just chilling on a park bench, minding my own business, when I overheard these two friends sitting next to me. They were like, "Dude, it's been a year since we last met. Can you believe it?" And that got me thinking. What if there were these two lovebirds who could only meet once a year, on the same date and at the same place? It's a pretty wild idea, but it's also kinda sweet, you know? Like, it shows how powerful love can be. they only once a year but still are faithful to each other and don't even look at other people in that way."

Taehyung widens his eyes and looks at me with an impressed look.

" so... if I tell you a random incident, will you be able to write a novel based on that?"

I nod before replying, "Most probably. it doesn't necessarily have to be an incident. just a dialogue, or a line... or a vibe.. or even a song. I can write based on all these things. I just need to have a good inspiration."

Taehyung thinks for a moment before saying, "There was this quote I once saw on Pinterest. it said, 'I'll love you forever... even if it is just from the shadows'... do you think you can write something based on that??"

As Taehyung mentioned the quote he once saw on Pinterest, a rush of inspiration flooded my mind. Hugging him tightly, I exclaimed, "You're a genius, Taehyung!"

Quickly jotting down the quote in my diary, I began to sketch out the plot. Taehyung looked at me, intrigued, and asked about the storyline I was formulating.

"It's about a ghost who falls in love with a human," I began. "The human can't see the ghost, but the ghost watches over him, caring deeply. Mysterious gifts start appearing for the human—he finds his home cleaned, meals prepared, and even a soft, comforting melody that lulls him to sleep. Strangely, he's saved from accidents, but he can't explain how."

"As these strange occurrences continue, the human starts questioning his sanity. He begins to feel like he's losing touch with reality and decides he needs to seek help in a mental asylum."

Pausing for a moment, I continued, "But then, one day, the human discovers a letter. It's from the ghost, a farewell note. The ghost reveals that his time on earth has come to an end, and he must depart to the afterlife. In the letter, he pours out his feelings, expressing how deeply he loves and cares for the human. He wishes for their souls to meet again in the next life, hoping that they can truly love each other, be together, and finally touch.

In the midst of his tears, the human clutched the heartfelt letter from the departing ghost. Emotions overwhelmed him as he realized the depth of his love for the unseen entity that had cared for him so deeply. He yearned for the ghost's presence, but the reality of their separation was too profound to bear.

he was too depressed to continue living. he killed himself with his last word being the ghost's name.... it is a tragic but beautiful story that'll make the readers weep at the end..."

As Taehyung stared at me with his mouth agape, I couldn't help but chuckle. "Gotcha!" I playfully closed his open jaw with a gentle tap, bringing him back to reality.

"Woah... that's... that's incredible!" he exclaimed, his eyes still wide with astonishment.

"I know, right?" I grinned, feeling a sense of accomplishment at having surprised him.

"Alright, time to call it a night," Taehyung suggested, breaking the spell of amazement. "Come on, let's get some rest."

With a shared laugh, we made our way to our bed, ready to drift off into the world of dreams.

The room was filled with the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the window, casting gentle shadows across the walls. I settled into my bed, pulling the covers snugly around me.

"Goodnight," Taehyung's voice echoed softly from across the room.

"Goodnight," I replied, feeling the calmness of the night settling around us.

In the stillness of the night, thoughts danced in my mind like whispers. I reflected on the strange twists of fate that brought Taehyung and me together as husbands, and how our unique personalities seemed to complement each other. maybe this marriage was not such a bad idea at all. I found a new friend in Taehyung...

The silence was broken only by the faint hum of the city outside, a soothing melody that lulled me into a state of tranquillity. With a contented sigh, I closed my eyes.

As sleep gradually took over, I found myself looking forward to the adventures and camaraderie that awaited us in this new chapter of our lives.
