the dark was night's friend, filling the former blue sky into a blank black slate and then, there were the stars.
i swung my legs forward, my hand gripping the swing as the other was raised up. tracing the bright, proud stars, my lips pressed into a small yet noticeable smile.
it was truly beautiful, the stars shining and showing off their glow. but a shame that their only chance to shine their best is at night, whereas many people are resting and their eyes peeled away from a beautiful canvas. and as rupi kaur had once said, i am a museum full of art, but you had your eyes shut,, the stars are the i and the people are the you, of course.
my eyes distracted with the sky's canvas, i stiffened when my hand was intertwined with another's.
i looked up and stared at him with disbelief, squeezing their hand in mine. "you're back, my singing star."
his grin was absolutely stunning, his bunny-like teeth shining and his eyes crinkling at the corners. i watched him, awed and stunned by his beauty. staring as he sat down on the other swing, never letting go of my hand.
"i've just arrived, your roommate told me you were at the usual, staring at the stars.." jungkook would trail with his eyes on the sky before he turned to me. i was staring at him the whole time, blushing when he'd caught me. "tell me, why do the stars fascinate you so much?"
i sighed, letting go of his hand to place it in my lap. "it's embarrassing.." fiddling with my fingers, i began to distract myself and gasped when my hands were gently tugged to his face.
he pressed them against it with both callused hands and frowned. "please, noona, tell me with your heart.."
looking away, i realized it must've looked weird for strangers as this was a public place. flustered, i slipped my hand out of his and leaned down to press a kiss on his forehead. "because— i was looking for you.." i mumbled, blushing.
jungkook raised his eyes to me and furrowed his eyebrows. "but i'm not a pilot—"
"yah! jeon jungkook, stop being an idiot! i meant the stars." then i paused, cursing under my breath. i said it. i really said it.
hiding my face with my fingers, i pout and whine out, "idiot. now i'm embarrassed.."
i suddenly felt arms wrapping around my head and his chest puffing out as he sighed. jungkook brushed my hair, kissing the top of my head.
"don't worry. you won't need to look at the stars anymore because this star will be staying by your side forever, day or night.." jungkook then softly giggled and whispered, "i promise."
