You were just leaning against the wall right beside the main doors, watching the last of the students leave the campus as the sky quickly turned dark. Hoseok told you to wait for him here because apparently, BTS was planning to do something again once you had the entire campus all to yourselves. At this point you've gotten used to the fact that those guys could basically do the craziest shit and never have to face the consequences, and now you assume that what they're about to do tonight is another crazy shit.

A hand suddenly grabbed your wrist, and you looked up to see a beaming Hoseok.

"Come on, everything's set!"

He pulled you to start running, not inside the school building but around towards the back where the emergency staircase was located, and it was that kind that runs all the way from the first floor and up to the rooftop. You even almost bumped against the security guard as you turned the corner.

"You kids better avoid making a big mess!" He yelled after the two of you.

"Yeah got it!" Hoseok slyly yelled back, making the older guy just cluck his tongue and mumble things while shaking his head.

Hoseok was the first to climb the staircase because, well, you were wearing a skirt and you most probably would have kicked him in the face if you saw him looking up your butt. As you neared the rooftop, you could already hear V and Jimin fussing over something over the sound of Jin nagging them.

Hoseok, though goofy but still surely a gentleman, didn't forget to lay out his hand to help you plant your feet firmly on the rooftop floor. Then he lifted up your hand as if to announce your presence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Queen has arrived!"

You just rolled your eyes at his introduction. Meanwhile, V immediately ran up to you, pointing his finger at Jimin.

"Eomma, Jimin is being mean!" He said like a small child complaining to his mother. Jimin just giggled and waved his hand to say hi, the other hand holding what seemed to be an unlit sparkler.

"I'm not your mom, he is." You casually pointed at Jin who had his arms crossed and looked unamused. Jungkook and Suga were just sitting at the side, watching the scene while eating chips.

"Okay, okay gather here everybody." Rapmon clapped his hands to gather everyone's attention. He was standing on a chair as a makeshift mini stage, announcing like he was talking to a huge crowd instead of just seven people. "Now that all of us are here, I would gladly declare to LET THE LIGHT SHOW START!"

With that, everyone wolf whistled and quickly scattered about, lighting the fountain fireworks you didn't even notice placed on the corners of the the rooftop. Instantly, the dark rooftop was filled with different blazing colors, warming up the seemingly cold and empty place. Then Rapmon wheeled in several rocket fireworks already bunched in and attached to a poorly made wooden stand, setting them up at an angle that hopefully wouldn't kill anybody.

Hoseok tapped your arm and handed you a sparkler, motioning for the two of you to take a seat on the roof of the rooftop access door. Soon the two of you were comfortably placed there, with a very nice view of the fountains and a bunch of idiots in the middle fussing over the fireworks.

"Here," Hoseok reached out to light both of your sparklers, and the things started spurting out bright sparks. You looked down at yours, mesmerized.

"Pretty, huh." Hoseok said with a chuckle. You lightly nodded.

"What's the occasion?" You asked, motioning at all the fireworks.

"To celebrate."

"Celebrate what?"

"A lot of things," He smiled, eyes looking distant as he seemed to be thinking about a lot of things. "For our strong friendship. For staying alive. For you showing up in our lives and having you here."

He looked down at you for a brief moment, and you looked back. Even through that bright smile,you were able feel his pain because you've gone through how he is now. Just like Hoseok, you used to hide your pain behind bright smiles, but eventually you just got tired of pretending. And you respect Hoseok for that.

Unlike you, he doesn't run away.

He's still able to pretend because he already knows everyone in the group has deep problems. And in the darkest times, he's their only source of hope. Being the only person that could see his pain, the least you could do is stay beside him when he smiles like this.

You looked down at your sparkler, sighing.

"How do you do it?" you asked, starting to write invisible letters.

"Hm?"

"How do you endure the pain?"

He pondered for a moment before answering. "Well, I just think that it will eventually go away."

"But what if it doesn't?"

"It will. You just have to believe it will."

"It doesn't." You muttered bitterly, feeling your emotions start clogging up your throat.

"Then I'll help you make it go away."

This made you look up at him, and he was smiling sadly at you. Then he reached out to plant a kiss onto your forehead.

"After all the things you've done for me, that's the least that I can do."

He pulled you closer to him, keeping his arm around your shoulder. You automatically wrapped your arm around his waist and rested your head against his shoulder, and and he set his chin on top of your head.

There was a moment of silence between the two of you as you just sat there comfortably in each other's arms like it was the most natural thing in the world. The other boys finally were able to light up the rocket fireworks, and one by one they sprinted up to the sky, eventually exploding and lighting up the night with bright beautiful colors.

"_________?"

"Hm?" You mumbled back, not even taking your eyes off the fireworks in the sky.

"Do you like me?" Your head snapped back towards him, and he was intently gazing down at you. "Because I like you."

You just stared at him for a few moments due to shock, and for a moment you thought maybe you just heard him wrong. But the way he was staring down at you clearly says that you heard him right.

Then after recovering from the shock, you smiled.

And you knew it was the first time you've smiled after a long time.

You looked down at your sparkler that's almost burnt out, then lifted it up to slowly draw half of a heart. You glanced up at Hoseok who looked shocked for a moment, but quickly broke out into a huge grin. Chuckling, he drew the other half of the heart, making the heart whole.

Then he set another kiss onto your forehead and pulled you close, and together you watched the the bright fireworks light up the dark sky.
