twelve

that night,

i asked if i can

stay here again.

and you said

yes (again).

so i slept on

the bed, with your

back facing me

and the moon lighting

through the curtains.

i didn't know

what came over

me, i just remembered

wrapping an arm

around you

and bringing myself

closer to your

body.

you were warm, and

i knew that you weren't

sleeping when

your hand grabbed

mine.

"i love you,"

i remembered

saying in a hush

whisper on

the nape of your

neck, mesmerized

by your overwhelming

scent of

flowers.

my heart was

racing when

you stilled for

a moment, but

i was surprised

when you

turned around

to face me.

you look like

you were searching

for something

in my eyes.

"i don't even

know you, 

jung hoseok,"

you shake your

head.

i closed my eyes,

and leaned in

until our foreheads touched.

"neither do i,

but i want

to be with

you forever."
