Soon, the sky began to dim, and I became tired of swinging. Jungkook and I decided to lay in the grass and watch the sun setting. I guess laying in the grass is kinda our thing now.
"Lily?", Jungkook spoke up.
"Hmm?", I hummed in response.
"I'd like to know more about you.", he said, still staring up at the sky.
"Oh ok. What do you wanna know?", I said with a chuckle.
"Idk...just tell me something. If we're gonna be best friends, I just feel like I should know more about you.", he said with a proud grin.
"Best friends huh?", I laughed.
"Well you're my only friend anyways, so you might as well be the best.", he said, averting his gaze to me. We locked eyes as I thought of what I should tell him.
"Well...my full name is Lily Anne Whitlock. I'm an only child. I love food and the internet. I suck at sports, but I'm good in school. Did I mention I like food, cause I can't think of anything else to say.", I said, realizing how lame my life is.
"That can't be it.", Jungkook said with a laugh. "Go deeper."
"Uh ok...I love music. I'm terribly awkward, especially meeting new people. Even though I'm really shy, my dream is to become an actress, and lastly, I hate bananas.", I said, hoping that was enough to satisfy him.
"Ok good enough.", he chuckled. "I guess I should tell you about myself now.", he said, concentrating on what to say. "Well my full name is Jeon Jungkook. I'm an only child. Unlike you, I was never the best in school, but I'm great at sports. I'm also kinda shy. I love music as well, and my dream was even to become a singer...and I happen to love bananas."
"Gross.", I scoffed.
"You're gross.", he replied quickly.
"Whatever.", I laughed while rolling my eyes at his childishness.

2 months later
The summer had come and gone in the blink of an eye, and I had spent every minute of it with Jungkook. We grew closer, but I knew we couldn't be together considering there was still no sign of him coming back to life, and my grandma wasn't helping at all. She keeps saying "you can't force it", but I'm staring to think she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Jungkook and I were now sitting on the front steps of my grandparent's house, talking about anything and everything EXCEPT for the fact that this was my last day staying with my grandma and grandpa. Neither of us brought it up, trying to keep the mood joyful on our last night together.
"Hey, Lily?", he said, sounding more serious than he did during our previous conversation.
"Yeah?"
"What do you think of me?", he said just above a whisper. His eyes were now looking up at the sky, avoiding mine. I thought for a minute. What do I think of him? I know exactly what I think of him, but I know it would never work out. He's dead.
"I don't really know.", I sighed.
He then turned to face me. "Are you sure you don't know? Because I know exactly what I think about you...and I have this feeling that you feel the same way, but you don't want to admit it.", he said while his chocolate colored orbs looked deep into mine, searching for an answer. "I know it wouldn't work, but at least let me know.", he pleaded.
"Jungkook", I said with a shaky voice. "I think I'm in love with you."
I bit my lip and looked down, waiting for him to say something.
"That's exactly what I was hoping you'd say. I love you too, Lily.", he said, gently placing his hand on my cheek.
Except this time, it felt different. This time...it felt warm.
I gasped, feeling warmth come from him.
"Jungkook, yo-", before I could finish what I was trying to tell him, he leaned in, pressing his soft lips against mine for a sweet kiss that made the world stop. He held his lips against mine for nearly 2 seconds before pulling away with wide eyes.
"Lily", he spoke with a shaky voice. "Feel m-my chest.", he stuttered before placing my hand against his chest.
A heartbeat.
