"dash run run run nan meomchul suga eobseo~"

the song from your phone was playing as we laid our backs against the grass patch. fortunately, we were able to lose the gang halfway round the corner and you were the one who eventually brought me along to this secretive healing place of yours.

staring up at the dark sky, we gazed at the mesmerizing stars for a moment until i spoke up.

"why were they chasing after you?"
"because i stole their money to cover the expenses of our date?"

"what?!", i exclaimed but seeing how you were perfectly normal over this, i drew in a sharp breath before i questioned you again.

"why do you live like this?"
"and there goes the law student again--"
"i mean, serious. why?"

you remained silent for a while. from which, I did notice a small change in your facial expression but after letting out a cough, you answered softly,

"sometimes, things just doesn't flow the same way as you've planned it to be. believe it or not, i was once a strong believer of law, just like yourself. but as always, power tends to be the ultimate thing which overrules the rest in the end. no matter what, you can't afford to get past it at times", you said and shutting your eyes now, you supported your hand against your head, 

"argh, can we not talk about this? i tend to get migraine whenever i touch on this topic,"
"alright,"

my body was lying sideways now as i watched you lying peacefully supine, with your eyes closed to take in the windy night. unknowingly, i let my eyes trace along your beautiful features, all the way till it finally reached the key which was hanging around your neck.

"are you studying me now?"

your eyes fluttered open suddenly which made me jump but securing your arms around my waist then, you pulled me in closer to you.

"you know, i was just thinking. why don't you become my girlfriend and i become your boyfriend? in that case, we're settled,"
"huh?"

"since we both suck", you laughed inwardly at your own words and seeing how i was staring at your key previously, you held your hand around it and raised an eyebrow at me,

"you curious about this?"

i ignored your previous offer and nodded my head briefly to this statement instead.

"well, you've got to earn it then. in other words, be my girlfriend,"
