"Hey, Joonie! Want some weed?!" yelled a boy all across the little lake where Namjoon was peacefully resting his drowsy head. Namjoon looked up at the boy waving a blunt in his hand with the happiest grin he'd ever saw coming from Yoongi. Namjoon shook his head no overdramatically so Yoongi could see from that far. "Alright! Suit yourself!" Yoongi yelled once again as he returned to smoking his blunt with a few other of Namjoon's misbehaving friends. Namjoon smiled small, turning his gaze down to look at the grass below him. A little bee was nestled into a flower right beneath him. He just looked at the bee who was pollinating the flower hurriedly.
Namjoon has a big life goal and it finally came true. Here he was, on a sunflower field, with his best mates, on a summer quiet night. But all Namjoon could have done was just peacefully gaze at his friends, laughing as the smoke flew in the air, it peacefully disappearing. He started to ponder about his life and how he has gotten to this point. Sure, the majority of the gratefulness Namjoon had all came from his friends being their weird selves. It made Namjoon just fall more in love with the idea of true friendships. If there wasn't Yoongi, Hoseok and Jeongguk he'd be long dead already. Actually, scratch that, he was surprised for how long he managed to survive with the three of them.
A rustling could be heard from the field and all the boys, including Namjoon, were terrified. Namjoon saw everything almost as if it was in fast motion, all of the three boys putting the smoke out and stomping it all to the ground. But, to their luck, and to Namjoon's, there were three boys about the same age as them. Namjoon focused his eye on a particular boy and it just seemed like he couldn't take his eye off him. The boy returned the look back at Namjoon. As cliche as it sounds but Namjoon just felt a connection to the boy with scruffy pants and a torn up shirt.
"Who are you?" Jeongguk asked in his normal tone, but the noise was so deafening that Namjoon could've heard it. Namjoon decided it was the best to get up and check what was happening. With quick steps, he stood beside Hoseok, who was hiding the little bag of weed behind his back. "I'm Seokjin, these are my friends Jimin and Taehyung. We heard some jeering and Jimin here smelt pot. We want to join you guys if you don't mind." Seokjin confidently spurred words out. He had common people clothes, but the way he was holding himself up made Namjoon feel as if he was trying to fool all of them. "Fuck no." Yoongi immediately rejected. "We don't share our pot with strangers." he continued. Everyone kept quiet, Seokjin and his friends thinking of a way to get some pot.
"We will report this to the police unless you give us half of the pot you currently have." Jimin proudly stated, making Yoongi grumble in response. Namjoon eyed Hoseok, who had obvious terror on his face when he heard the blackmail. "Yoon, maybe w-we should let them be with u-us." Jeongguk whispered quietly to Yoongi, who just looked at him as if he spurted out the stupidest thing. Namjoon noticed the tension between the two, so he split them up by his hand and stepped in their way. "As little as I have in this saying, I do agree with Jeongguk. Sure, perhaps these fellows are bluffing with us, but what's such a big problem sharing some pot?" he turned around to face the three strangers. "I mean, they will need to repay somehow." he continued, looking at Seokjin with an intimidating glare, making Seokjin gulp and nod his head. "Y-Yes we will give you back the money, just please, let us smoke." Seokjin stuttered quietly, but loud enough for it to reach Namjoon. Namjoon smiled small, stepping back into his position. Yoongi just growled, knowing the argument is over. "Alright, but first I assume you'd like to know whose weed you'll be smoking tonight. I'm Yoongi, this is Namjoon, Jeongguk and Hoseok."

It was somehow 1 AM and Namjoon is walking alongside Taehyung. Namjoon looked down at Taehyung and how his lips moved in sync with his words. The two decided they wish to not be apart of the crowd and decided to walk through the sunflower fields. "So, what's your story Namjoon? What got you into this situation?" Taehyung asked which made Namjoon shake his head in order to focus on forming a proper sentence. Namjoon hummed, thinking back to how he started hanging out with his friends in the first place.
"Ah, well, I knew Yoongi since we were children. Jeongguk and I met in the strangest of circumstances. He was hunting my parents chicken when he was about six years old. Hoseok and I met whilst we were running from the police. Once we were almost caught for this exact same reason. Perhaps that's why all of us were just a tad bit sceptic." Namjoon giggled at the memories flooding back in his brain like colourful watercolours splattering across a canvas. Taehyung chuckled lowly at Namjoon's words. "You guys seem very close together." Taehyung pointed out the obvious as he tucked his hands in his very worn out jeans. Namjoon hummed in agreement as the two reached the end of the sunflower field. "So, Taehyung, what are your aspirations?" Namjoon questioned as he stopped walking, seeing Taehyung turn and squint his eyes at the moon. Taehyung looked at Namjoon, furrowing his eyebrow. "Could you speak how normal peasants speak?" Taehyung finished the sentence off with a small smile. Namjoon shook his head, mentally cursing at himself. He forgot he wasn't talking to his friends who were used to Namjoon's fancy words.
"I meant, what are your ideas you wanna achieve." He said after a few seconds of pondering. Namjoon had a hard time making sentences appear easier to understand for someone who hasn't read many books like Namjoon himself. Namjoon boxed down slightly as if he was apologizing for the misunderstanding. Taehyung made an understanding noise and decided to sit down on the cold ground beneath him. Namjoon repeated the same action and Taehyung looked up at the shining stars above him. "I'd like to go see what's up there. Have you ever wondered, Namjoon? What is up there? How do stars shine so bright when they're god knows how far away?" Taehyung's eyes had a glisten in them as he stared in pure ecstasy. Namjoon looked up at the sky himself, seeing how beautiful indeed the starry sky was.
"This indeed is beautiful. If I was talented enough of a painter, I'd paint this sky, but sadly, I'm merely just a boy with dreams." Namjoon chuckled at his pathetic self and Taehyung put his hand on Namjoon's thigh and patted it lightly. Namjoon looked Taehyung dead in the eyes and Taehyung smiled. "You can always paint it! I'm sure with practice you'd become a wonderful painter!" Taehyung grinned, showing off his boxy smile which Namjoon almost instantly fell for. Oh, how is he beautiful.

"Okay, so you're telling me that there is life after death? How do you know? Are you an angel from above? Who told you about it?" Taehyung said as the two layed in the patch of grass looking at the slowly rising moon. "I'm not saying anything! It's just a thing I've read in books. Your soul is growing older, but the 'you' you know isn't reborn in another life, in another form. It's quite interesting, don't you think?" Namjoon looked at Taehyung who was already looking at Namjoon. Taehyung let out a small smile at Namjoon who returned the favour. "If someone other than you told me that, I'd say that's complete bullshit, but since you said it, I kinda believe it, Namjoon." Taehyung smiled even wider, making Namjoon chuckle. "Well, I'm glad I turned you into a madman like myself." He said with his eyes glistening with admiration for this new man who entered in his life like a shooting star. "Who said I wasn't a madman before I met you?"
