A/N: and many years later, I am back again. I lost my will to write, but since I was almost done with this chapter, I decided to just finish it. I was supposed to post this chapter in July but, oh wells. Busy life! 

7#Go to the Han River

It was late August now and the feeling of standing in the front of the river soothed the burning sensation in my chest. Thankfully, the calming sounds of the river paired with the sound of chattering helped me forget the constant reminders of death.

It was Jimin's idea to meet at the Han river for the simple reason to go on a date. Unfortunately for me, the date took place at an inconvenient hour. I couldn't help but feel slightly agitated that the man who planned this date was not here, I could have been lying in bed, sleeping, if it weren't for that time traveler. I pulled out my phone to check the time. 

8:40 p.m. 

The sun was already setting, displaying multiple rays of bright colors before descending into the darkness. The sun disappeared as quick as it came. Kind of like a burning inferno extinguished with a single drop of water. I could compare Jimin to a lot of things and the sky was one of them. He also was beautiful and vibrant, but cold like the night. He was very similar to the sky that adorned the stars that you could only long to see up close. 

Untouchable, but warm. 

I suddenly felt strong arms circle around my waist with a head rested on the crook of my shoulder. He smelled his typical scent of mint with a hint of fresh laundry.

"Took you long enough," I mumbled.

He chuckled apologetically, "Sorry, Jungkook needed help with a math problem."

I hummed and leaned back, resting my head on his chest. I felt the soft rises of his chest while he raked his fingers through the tresses of my hair, curling it between his nimble fingers.

"Your brother let you out this late?" Jimin broke the silence.

I nodded my head, "You know him. He thinks I need to go out more anyway. He said, 'get some sun in your skin.' Ironically, he lets me out at night."

Jimin chuckled again.

"Any reason why you chose a date in the Han river at this ungodly hour?" I asked snidely.

"The bucket list," he pulled out his crumpled list, "We're almost done. There's like ten more things to do."

"Really? I felt like we didn't do much," I turned around to face him.

I met his chocolate colored orbs, "I lied, there's still more to do."

His gaze was always warm. Always masked with love and pure admiration. Only seldom would he show his irritation towards my selfish needs and wants, but he is always quick to understand without a single complaint. We settle on the grass and continued to watch the river in silence, enjoying just each other's presents. A pleasant breeze washed over us, brushing lightly against our sensitive skin. I placed my head on Jimin's shoulder while he leaned his head on the crown of my head, pressing a long kiss on it.

"It's pretty tonight. The sky is clearer than I remember," I looked up.

I saw a couple of stars scattered in the dark canvas of the heavens.

"Not enough to see a constellation though," Jimin complained, unimpressed by tonight's presentation.

I chuckled and slipped my hand in his, filling the gaps of our fingers with each other. Jimin brought my hand to his lips, placing soft kiss and then leaning towards me, placing another kiss on my forehead.
