magic.
it may or may not be a powerful word to some. and to jimin, it's amusing.
it didn't took him long to stop in his tracks when he noticed the taller figure standing a few feet away from him. the person.
jimin froze when the person started walking slowly towards him. he shivered when he felt the cold wind gushed, and his heavy breathing became evident. he adjusted his scarf and lowered his gaze but the person's words made him look them in the eyes. those captivating doe eyes.
"it's been a while." they said, a smile on their face making jimin feel some kind of warmth.
"i'm sorry if i'm ignoring you. it's just that, tonight would be..." the person trailed off.
"it's okay." jimin responded.
they used to talk a lot before jimin's friend decided to leave him and everything went downhill. before the person felt that jimin is becoming their world.
they stood there, facing each other, quietly. the freezing and gloomy aura jimin once felt is gone, at this moment, he felt strangely warm.
the person chuckled, or at least they tried to. they scrunched their nose before heaving a long sigh. and jimin finds all of it adorable.
"when did we become strangers?" jimin can't help but ask.
"i don't know.."
jimin smiled at the person's answer, or at least, he tried to.
magic.
it may or may not be a powerful word to some and jimin starts to be dreadful at the thought.
jimin removed the glove from his left hand and slowly reached for the person's face, "can i..." but he stopped midway when a tear stained the person's face. he suddenly hugged them so tight, and he felt warmer. the person carefully hugged him back and whispered, a sorry.
"it's always you."
jimin witnessed the person gradually disintegrating before him. and he stood there as if the person he's hugging is still in his clutches, crying.
as if a magic trick, they disappeared. they turned into snowflakes, beautiful crystal particles floating around. jimin believed in winter's magic but right now, he felt like the winter took away his warmth.
it's a trick.
and it isn't magical at all.
"jeongguk, you left me again."
end.
ㅡ
i'm sorry.
