"It's all Jia magic", Jia spoke proudly as they all sat on the couch.
Well it was a shock for everyone how Jia managed to convince Renjun to come out of his shell. Not that they wouldn't be able to do that but it could have just taken them much more time than her.
Jia glanced at the clock and realized it was genuinly getting late now.
She just looked around as the group of friends continued chatting amongst themselves, oblivious to the time that had passed. They were sharing their stories of their SM rookie days, when Yena and the other guys participated.
It was refreshing to talk to people, to share their happiness. But it felt more happy if you are the reason of someone's smile, to make someone smile.
They got lost in conversation, sharing jokes and stories, the laughter and banter filling the air. As they became more and more immersed in the discussion, everyone lost track of the passing hours, their focus solely on the conversation and each other's company.
As the night deepened, the conversation continued to flow without a care for the advancing time, the group feeling as though they could chat and laugh like that forever.
Jia just got up from her seat to look around the balcony. It was quiet outside. She closed the window behind her and the muffeled sound from inside the room barely heard.
As she step out of the beautifully air-conditioned space, a wave of warm air welcomed her back to the outside world.
The change in temperatures is immediate, as the heat of the night wrapped around her like a warm embrace.
The cool, refreshing atmosphere inside gives way to a humid, sticky quality in the air.
The contrast is palpable as the warmth of the outdoors seeping into her skin, leaving with a slight sense of discomfort and longing for the coolness just left behind.
It was nearly 10.00, the sky had transformed from its sunset hues when they came to a canvas of deep indigo, dotted with sparkling stars.
The streetlights cast a soft, warm glow on the pavement, creating an intimate atmosphere. The gentle breeze carried with it a hint of summer and the distant sound of crickets singing their evening song, blending with the occasional laughter and voices escaping from the open windows.
With the day's heat fading and the city transitioning into its nighttime routine, the street was now quieter and more shadowed as the darkness took over.
"What are you thinking so much kiddo?", Jia turned to the voice and gave him a smile then again turned back facing the night sky. "Nothing much, just trying to connect to the nature." Haechan just stood beside her with his hands on the railing allowing the natural breeze to soothe his skin.
He studied her, taking in the delicate features of her face. The moonlight cast a silvery glow on her skin and the light caught the strands of hair that had escaped the bun at the nape of her neck. She seemed lost in thought, staring out at the night sky as if caught up in a world all her own.
