The library was quieter than usual. Park Jimin was casually doing homework in a table close to Neptune. He watched as she grabbed a pen and wrote something, in perfect calligraphy, on her pink notebook. He smiled at her cuteness and drifted his gaze back to his book.

Jimin was so into the novel he was reading, which was due to read next week, that he didn't notice the blonde girl in front of him. Neptune waved her hand in front of him, making him jump. Neptune giggled at that.

"Sorry," Neptune apologized, covering her face to hide her smile. She took a breath and calmed down, "I was wondering if I could borrow your headphones."

"Um, yeah." Jimin answered, putting down the novel and disconnecting his headphones from the phone that was laid on the table. He handed them to the smiling girl, "Take them."

"I'll give them back tomorrow! Are you gonna be here?" Neptune asked.

"Yeah," Jimin answered her shyly.

"Perfect!" She exclaimed and went back to her table.

Jimin smiled and blushed as he thought of what had happened. He was beyond happy, since she talked of meeting him again. Did that mean she wanted to see him?

Jimin shook his head, as if trying to shake the happiness off, but his smile remained. He chuckled and grabbed the novel to continue reading.

Jimin was walking to class when he saw something that made him extremely angry.

"Get out of the way, child." A freshman said, pushing Neptune away from his path. Neptune collided with the wall, making her hiss in pain.

"I'm sorry," Neptune whispered.

Jimin turned red and his palms turned into fists. Screw the class, he went to follow the guy who pushed the love of his life.

The freshman was in the men's restroom cleaning his hands when Jimin barged in. He wasted no time in grabbing the freshman by the collar.

"You dare talk to Neptune that way again and I'll make your life a living hell." Jimin spat, punching the guy in the face. He punched him again, and again, and again. He punched him until he saw blood in his hands.

Jimin finally let the freshman go, making the boy run in fear. Jimin cleaned the blood off his hands and left the bathroom, satisfied with the result.

Another night came, so that meant another night Jimin would watch Neptune in her spot. She had her eyes closed and her hair was in a perfect messy bun. She looked amazing, but when did she not?

"Orion, can I sing you a song?" Neptune asked with a soft voice, opening her eyes and looking at the stars.

She can sing? Jimin asked himself.

"You can't say no, so I'll sing it." Neptune said and took a deep breath. She smiled before she started to sing. Jimin didn't even pay attention to the song, he was too caught up with the sweet sound of her voice. It was the most beautiful sound to Jimin's ears. He wanted this moment to last forever, he wanted to cherish every single second.

Park Jimin was disappointed when she suddenly stopped, because of her phone ringing.

"Hello?" Neptune answered the phone. Her eyes lit up when she heard what the person on the other side said. "Really? Okay, I'll be there."

Neptune got up, waved to Orion and left her spot, skipping to her destination. Jimin sighed and walked away. This time, he was the disappointed one.
