Midnight Bruises

Chapter Eleven

~Jaebums POV~

It was a Friday night and I was beyond bored. There was probably a party going on somewhere but I couldn't be bothered. They honestly weren't that fun.

I was considering going to practice swim but it was 9pm and I'm sure I'm not supposed to use my key as captain to practice at this time.

I was about to go to bed out of boredom when Youngjae texted me.

Hey! I know it's late but Yugyeom and BamBam are official and want to go on a date ASAP... they can't drive through so I'm stuck going with them and thought you might want to tag along...?

I smiled at just how happy even his text seemed, looks like I have plans tonight after all.

If you told me my Friday night plans would be going to the park and eating ice cream at midnight with Youngjae while Yugyeom and BamBam cuddled a few hills over I would have laughed... but here I was.

Youngjae was laying down, spoon in hand staring at the stars.

"You're ice creams melting." I said but it was ignored.

I took the spoon from him putting it in the tub before laying down next to him, our shoulders barely touching.

"They look so pretty." He said pointing at the stars.

I looked up and nodded, they were really nice. I'm sure he found them much more amazing then I was because of his awestruck gaze but that was okay.

"I just want to touch one." He said making a grabbing hand towards one.

I smiled rubbing his hair as he continued fake petting the star.

"Well if you become an astronaut like you want then you will." I said.

Youngjae laughed turning to face me with a shy smile.

"Jaebummie... stars are giant balls of luminous spheroid plasma that's burning.., I can never touch one... also the ones we can see are already dead." He said seriously and I bit my lip to hold in a laugh.

"Oh." Was all I said before we both started laughing.

By the time I got home it was 3Am and I was exhausted. I think youngjae told me everything possible about stars and all their names, but that was okay because he looked super cute talking about it.

He was like a little star in his own purple bruised galaxy.
