Behind The Scenes ༻ Park Jisung

༻ 27

the night was brighter when you lingered
and love was a mystery 'til you walk by my side

༻

Aruna wasn't a rude person. She would never ignore someone on purpose unless they did something really bad to her.

So while Jisung freaked out about never receiving an answer back, she was in bed, laying on her side as she curled up into a ball.

Her room was dimly lit, with the soft glow of natural sunlight peeking through the window. The waft of a vanilla scented candle lingered in the air, winter chill seeping in from her window.

It was November 28th.

She wasn't sure what to do if she was still on her period for much longer. Well, it wouldn't really matter to her as her cramps were irregular.

Even if Aruna wasn't on her period, she still got a stabbing sensation here and there. Oh, the joys of being a women.

When she received a message from Jaemin wondering if she was okay, hey heart leapt out of her chest as she realized that if Jaemin could see her, Jisung must've been there too.

She did her best to hobble inside and try to ignore the prying eyes of dream, and when she succeeded, she looked out the window and landed her eyes on Jisung.

He looked worried. His eyebrows were furrowed and lips pouting out the slightest bit as he looked down at his phone. Her heart twinged with guilt as she wondered what might have caused his worry.

Instead of pondering over it though, Aruna went up the elevator to finally get the rest she needed.

Her makeup still lay on her face like paint on a canvas as she jumped on her bed, squinting her eyes shut at the pain of her muscles settling in.

The sound of emptiness was comforting as she closed her eyes, letting the silence envelop her, and began to just think. She thought of her upcoming schedules, the unending practices...

How she had to go on another reality show in three days. Also in three days she needed to meet with Jisung.

Oh no
In three days I have to meet with Jisung

How was she supposed to do two things at once?

Her eyes opened immediately, grabbing her phone from her desk as she went onto their chat. She realized their previous conversation had been cut off as she accidentally left him on seen and her heart crumbled.

Aruna felt bad. She didn't mean to.

She took in a deep breath and put her phone down again. In the stillness of her dimly lit room, Aruna's heartbeat gradually slowed, echoing in the stillness of a lullaby.
