Between The Moons [BTS ~ Namjoon] [COMPLETE]

Chapter Three

I sat on the floor in front of my mirror, waiting.

I loved winter, I loved the small crystals of ice that formed on the grass that made a crunching sound from underneath you. I loved seeing the cloud of vapour escape a person's lips when they breathed. I loved being able to see the stars in the clear dark sky. I loved when the light snow would fall and settle on the ground and walking through the virgin snow.

I hated the long nights. Not only did the long nights mean that we had to work longer,  as we were better adapted during the nights. The full moon lasted longer too. Meaning I would usually fake feeling unwell so that no one would bother me. My mum and Taehyung always made it clear to not disturb me, they were subtle but they knew how to stop people from seeing me.

I looked outside of my window,  it was still light a little,  but the darkness was closing in. Most of us would still be asleep,  a part from those who worked in the kitchens. I'd been awake for atleast an hour,  making sure I had my contacts ready,  making sure I had my new sunglasses to wear and to watch out for the moon slowly appearing.

The main problem with this time of the year was the fact that daylight turned into night time very fast,  so I had to watch out for the sky.

I continued to stair at myself in the mirror as I waited for the change. I knew they would change in the next few seconds. The feeling of drowsiness took over me as I felt my head lower as my eyes instantly shut. The drowsiness only lasted a few seconds before I gained back the feeling of being awake.

I opened my eyes and blinked a few times to clear my vision and begin to feel more comfortable with the changed eyes. I looked up into the mirror and met my own gaze.

I know I should have been used to the purple that beamed from my eyes, but honestly I wasn't. I'd imagine if I had grown up around others with eyes like mine I would be, but I didn't. I never actually hated my eyes,  not the colour of them. I'd always quite liked the purple,  I just hated that they were something that I needed to hide if I wanted to live.

When I was younger I really did hate my eyes. It meant that when they became purple,  I couldn't leave my room and the only people I could see was Tae and mum. Although Tae would come and see me for a little bit,  I hated it because he was out playing with our friends and I was stuck being away from them. I always wanted Jin,  Jimin and especially Yoongi to know about my eyes,  but I knew the risks. I don't think that they would do anything to put me in harm if they did know,  but one mistake could be all it takes.

I walked into my bathroom and found my contacts ready to be put in. I disliked putting my contacts in, they weren't comfortable at all and I didn't fully trust them. But they were the safest thing and only thing for me to have when I have to go out during the full moon. I needed them today.

I put on a pair of tracky bottoms along with a hoodie. I left my hair down and didn't bother putting on any makeup. I wanted to look the part of someone who is suffering from a mild migraine.

I heard the door knock. I knew who it was by the knock. My mum and Tae had created a unique knock to signify that it was just one of them at the door during a full moon. It was good because there had been times where Yoongi, Jin or Jimin had tried to come and see me when I was "ill" and I knew it wasn't Tae or my mum even when they tried to impersonate them.

"Come in" I shouted and laid back on my bed.

Mum was wearing a floral dress that made her look sophisticated and casual at the same time. She had light makeup on. You could tell she was trying to look nice for when Lee Ying came.

"Why are you so dressed up?" I asked as she came and sat on my bed and Tae sat on a chair in the corner of my room.

"So that the flowers make me look a lot happier than what I am feeling at the moment" she said whilst gritting her teeth.
