wishing on a star » p. jm

Park Jimin was in the library studying. His eyes scanned the math text book, reading the formulas. Jimin didn't like math, but he sure was good at it. A sigh escaped his lips as his stomach growled in hunger. With a groan, Jimin closed his text book and got up from the comfy chair.

Jimin decided he was gonna eat lunch in the dinning hall, since it was the perfect time. He roamed the halls of the university, in search of the dinning hall. When he finally got there, he stood in the surprisingly short line and grabbed a tray.

After getting his food, Jimin sat down in an empty table and dug in, with only one person in his mind.

Neptune had just left class when her stomach growled. She sighed and made her way to the dinning hall. When she got there, the line was pretty much empty. She grabbed a tray and got the food she wanted. When it came to choose where to sit, she frowned at the fact that all the tables where occupied. To her luck, she spotted a familiar pink haired boy, so she went over to him.

Jimin saw Neptune approach his table and immediately became nervous. She reached the table and smiled at the boy, tray in her hands.

"Excuse me, may I sit here?" Neptune asked politely.

"Sure," Jimin answered, his voice shaking.

Neptune sat across from Jimin, placing her tray on the table. Her eyes met Jimin's for what seemed like forever to Jimin, but a second to Neptune.

"I like your hair." Neptune blurted out, as she took a bite of her sandwich. "It's my favorite color."

I know, Jimin told himself.

"But you probably already know. I wear it a lot." Neptune said and Jimin furrowed his eyebrows, it seemed like she read his mind. She was so casual about it that Jimin thought he was overreacting.

"Is your favorite color pink too?" Neptune asked the boy excitedly.

Actually, it's yellow. Jimin said to himself in his mind.

"I think it's something like yellow, you seem like a yellow type." Neptune said. At this, Jimin's eyes got wide.

She can't really be reading my mind, can she?

"What do I know? I can't read your mind." Neptune said, leaving Park Jimin speechless like always. Her phone chimed and she looked at it, her face lighting up. "I have to go, my friend is gonna make cupcakes!"

Neptune got up and left, taking her tray with her. She left a very confused and shocked Jimin behind. Jimin was wrong when he thought he couldn't fall deeper in love with Neptune Gray.

–

Like always, Jimin watched Neptune sitting on the grass as she looked at the bright stars. This time, she had a cupcake in her hand.

"Hoseok sure knows how to make cupcakes." Neptune said, taking a bite. Her eyes drifted towards the stars again, a sigh of disappointment escaping her pink lips. "Why can't I be like you, Betelgeuse?"

Neptune got up from her spot and walked away once again, as a human and not a star.
