"Namjoon please?" You whined as you kicked your feet under the cafe table. Hitting him hard on the leg, he muttered an "ow" and smiled at you apologetically. Jungkook and Taehyung watched you questionably as they unknowingly chowed the delicious chocolate marshmallow stuffed s'mores in the middle of the table. Jin passed you quickly in his waiter uniform but glanced at your table and waved sweetly as he served the other tables diligently. You turned to face Namjoon once again, slamming your hands on the table - earning a few curious and surprised heads from the people in the cafe to turn your way. You inhaled "Please Namjoon! I really really REALLY need your help!" and stared at him with forced watering eyes. His face contorted in sadness and worry but also doubt and uncertainty. Fortunately for you, your pretend puppy dog eyes works on him as he sighed; usually a good indication.

"Fine but you'll be doing the most work. I'm only doing this because I remembered that I haven't done anything to help when I broke your toilet seat that one time-" You burst out laughing by the sudden flashback to that memory, but you snapped back to the present and beamed at him. "Thank you so much!" You grabbed his hand and fiddled with it happily. Jin soon sank on the cushion spot next to Namjoon and looked at you weirdly yet smiling too.

"My shift just ended. What are you guys talking about?" The pink haired male took a sip of Namjoon's drink. Rather than being annoyed, Namjoon's eyes just softened - his whole expression softened. With raised eyebrows, you looked at Taehyung and Jungkook who met your gaze with the same look on your face, they both know what's up. However you three ignored the moment these two lovebirds shared and moved on. "I have no clue," Jungkook replied with a full mouth. "Same. I got lost with you screaming and begging Namjoon for help Y/N." Taehyung remarked as he wiped the chocolate on his face. Again as if sunshine landed on your face and was tattooed there "Oh! It's a secret present for a special someone" which earned you surprised expressions from your friends, Taehyung dropped his napkin and Jin almost spilt the drink. You giggled, both because of your friends' silliness and the thought of that special someone made your heart skip a beat.

8:30 pm

Dusting off the pencil shavings and brushing away any rough patches from your latest artwork, you tiredly rubbed your eyes as you looked at it thoroughly. It was the horizon, the scene was in the perspective of the shot within the grass field. It was night overtaking the sky, a blanket of stars covering the peak of the mountain like tucking in the lively sun goodnight.

"A blanket of stars covering the peak of the mountain like tucking in the lively sun goodnight. Huh." You thought about that sentence, reminding you of something, someone.

You examine it once more. Usually, people wouldn't like the day's end like this, they prefer the sunset where you could see different warm colors like orange, pink, yellow - it was the golden hour after all. However, the artwork you made was the moment after that, it was when darkness comes - contrasting with the yellow of the sun. It was mostly dark and gloomy in a way that the grass looked sad and sloppy, mountains seemed to look small and far away. Unlike your artworks, this focuses on the realistic way of this scenery - honestly it kind of looks real, alive. That made it amazing to you, how you made it so...dark and shadowy but mysteriously enchanting. If you look it metaphorically, it looks like a battle between night and day, darkness and light - the dark was clearly winning as it drowns down the last inch of the sun in the art. Somehow though, it's mesmerizing and beautiful to you; maybe letting the darkness in life win wasn't as bad as you thought.

Taking the photo, post it on Instagram, waiting for the flood of likes and comments - this was the norm. Turning off your lights, you lay back down the bed and turned on your phone, slightly blinding you with the luminescent light from the screen. Once your eyes adjusted, you opened you chatbox with Yoongi immediately and waited. You weren't sure what exactly you're waiting for and why you're just staring at your last messages together with such intensity - but you just waited.
