Falling Comets (Jungkook Fan fiction)

Chapter 16

The walk to the park was strangely a slow one. Usually when Hyunsoo listens to music while walking to different places, time seems to fly by fast, but for some reason, it felt like it took Hyunsoo forever to reach the wooden park near her campus.

Maybe it was the sadness bearing down on her. This entire week had been miserable for Hyunsoo in different ways, Baekhyun being the worst one.

A groan escaped Hyunsoo's mouth as she realised she was thinking about Baekhyun again. She shook her head and continued humming to her current favourite song titled 'Love Myself'. It always eased the overwhelming unhappiness constantly coursing through her body. Still, it was only a temporary feeling. As soon as the song ended, Hyunsoo felt gloomy all over again.

"Come back to earth Hyunsoo!"

A hand waved in front of her face; the most elegant hands she had ever laid eyes on. She looked up to find the owner of those hands and beamed when it was Jimin eye smiling back at her. She must have been so lost in her thoughts that she ended up at the park and didn't even realise it.

"You're not having a good hair day, are you?" he said, then laughed, which was the last thing Hyunsoo expected out of him, but she played along anyway.

"Hey," she poked him on the arm jokingly, "It's the light rain doing this to my hair. I would have come prepared but I've lost my umbrella recently..."

"What about hats? Ever thought of that?" he chuckled some more, then added, "Don't worry. Take my cap and I'll just put my hood up."

Without waiting for Hyunsoo to process what just happened, he took his cap off and placed it slowly on top of Hyunsoo's head of long black hair. There was a slight smile on his face, not the one she had gotten used to seeing the last few times they'd met. There was a different feeling, almost like a different intention, behind this smile.

"Thanks," said Hyunsoo, feeling lame with her answer, though she couldn't think of anything else to say.

Jimin ran his hand through the blonde hair quickly then shook his head side to side, like a wet dog would do. At this point, his expression turned a little more serious as he put his hood up and opened his mouth.

"You said you were having a bad week, and I know it might be a sensitive topic for you to talk about right now, but I just... I wanted to ask you if you're ok." Jimin's hands slipped into his jean pockets as he said this. "I wanted to also let you know that I'm here if you need to talk, and well, I hope I'm able to cheer you up today."

"You just being here is making me feel better already, so thank you. Don't worry too much about me though, let's just have fun today especially since we haven't hung out before!"

Jimin nodded but didn't smile. Hyunsoo suspected it was because she didn't give him a proper answer, but she couldn't anyway because she didn't want to lie to him.

They spent their time walking through the park and petting any dog that crossed their way, as well as talking about anything and everything. They jumped from topic to topic. It started with how their day had been so far, especially Jimin's morning presentation which he had to do for one of his performing arts modules. Hoseok had one too. Hyunsoo remembered him telling her. He talked a lot about his passion for dancing, while Hyunsoo went on to talk about her passion for art.

"Here's an idea! You could try drawing me as I dance. It's a little difficult, I mean I can only imagine, but it'd be so cool if we did that!" Jimin exclaimed.

They had reached a little café after walking through an open path with lots of big trees. The rain kept stopping and coming back, though it was only a light drizzle. Still, they both looked cold as they stopped and peered at the hot drinks menu.
