Without you, I am colour-blind

It's raining every time I open my eyes

I want you

I'll colour me blue

I felt a deep sense of foreboding ever since the sky had turned overcast that morning. It was ever present at the back of my mind, until I was under the rain getting lost in a dream. 

My heart was closer to Jungkook than I had ever deemed possible. Lips tasting of him, body melting in his, and hearts beating as one. 

Swore I'd never lose control.

Then I fell in love with a heart that beats so slow.

The rain was cold, our bodies warm. Bare feet sinking in the soft soil, the blades of grass tickling.

In hindsight, I should've expected what happened. I shouldn't have ignored my intuition; I should have seen it coming. After all, beautiful dreams were often fleeting.

The dream was brutally shattered by the loud ringing of my phone, interrupting the music, startling both of us.

My stomach sank, unbidden, fear washing over me, cold and harsh.

Jungkook also seemed to have caught on, and I saw how his expression changed. But I couldn't even find the words to reassure him when my insides were twisting with anxiety.

Since we ran away anytime my phone rang was only when trouble came calling. Letting go of Jungkook, I rushed towards the patio.

The ringing of my phone stopped.

The phone lay next to the pile of Hawthorn berries on the damp patio floor, ringing again seconds later. With a tremble in my wet fingers, I quickly snatched the phone and pressed answer. "Hello?"

"Jimin-ssi! I have been trying to call you since yesterday! But your phone seemed to be out of reach!" Jungkook's assistant said in one breath. Her concerned voice came through the speakers, echoing hauntingly in the barren meadow.

Jungkook's gaze widened in recognition, and he mouthed. "Hae-woo?"

"Did something happen?" I inquired apprehensively.

"Yes! Last week, someone from your office recognized you and Jungkook-ssi in Rome. The day before yesterday, they confirmed it, and both of your parents left for Italy yesterday evening. From what I heard, they are headed to the Alps as of this moment." Haewoo reported in a single breath.

My gaze automatically found Jungkook's, and the alarm was reflected in his gaze. My heart sped up. How much time did we have? I glanced at the sky. The weather might buy us some time, but it was a gamble I couldn't afford.

"How did they find out about us being in the Alps?" Jungkook asked, skeptical from behind me.

"That's why I have been calling you since yesterday! Someone uploaded a video of the Italian festival you were both in! Aish, you guys should be more careful." Hae-woo scolded.
