When We See Shooting Stars

Hanna, 1 June, 2016
"Okay, I'll wait here." And with that l crossed him to get to the door. But then, I felt a pair of strong arms pulling me back.

"Hanna",he wrapped his arms around me from back, and placed his head behind mine. Breathing deeply, he let out heavy sighs.

Is he... sobbing?

I tried to turn my head.

"Don't look back", he growled, and once again, I felt warm drops of water on my shoulder.

Why?

Why are you doing this?

Who am I to you?

None, am I?

You've cleared my worth to me, my place to you.

Then why are you acting as if you care for me?

As if...

You love me?

He gave me a slight push,"Go."

I started to walk.

"And don't look back."

He took up my luggage.

"Don't bother", I pulled it from him.

"Don't bother to think it's bothering me", he sternly snatched it back and threw it in the backseat of the car.

"Get in", he ordered. I got into the car.
He gave me a 'so done with you' look.

"What?" I asked

"You still didn't get rid of your bad habit, did you?"

"What habit?"

He pushed the brake, and the car got stuck in a 'seems-like-it-will-never-end' traffic jam. He suddenly leant close to me, so much that his breath landed over my face.

I whimpered,"What do you want!?"

He stared coldly at me.

Ice prince.

After a couple of moments, I found myself tied by the seat belt.

"How many times do you need to be reminded to tie up the seatbelt?" He humphed like a parent.

"Sorry", I mumbled.

"C-Can I ask you something?"

"Go on", he permitted, observing the resting cars in the traffic.

"Why'd you stay in the hospital?"

He wore a questioning look in his face, which read "I didn't get it".

"I mean, unnie and Jihyo were not there, I know. But there were others. Seokjin oppa... and Jungkook... and Hoseok oppa... and- and..." I stopped at the look he gave me.

"Why'd you replace me?" He totally ignored my question.

"I asked first", I fought back weakly.

"But the situation I asked about comes first."

I looked away,"What should I had done? Watch and stare?"

"Yeah, you could just watch and stare."

I felt my ears were heating up,"What do you mean? If you saw someone being almost hit by a freaking car, you just would've watch and stare?"

"Well, other than my boys and you three girls, yes. I would've exactly done that."

"What does that make up to them?"

"Hyungs, noonas and dongsaengs."

"And... what... does that make up to- me?"

"Nothing."

Nothing?

I'm nothing to you?

Nothing?

None?

No one at all?

Tears pricked my eyes, threatened to fall.

"NOONA!" Jungkook rushed towards me before hugging me like a koala. He swung his body with mine. I chuckled at the maknae's cuteness. Unnie and Jihyo walked to me. Unnie looked as if guilt was eating her up.

"Hanna, I'm so sorry Hanna. Grandma was sick. So I left for Busan with Jihyo. Don't be mad."

I crossed my arms,"I AM mad. How could you do this to me, huh?"

She hung her head low.

"You need a punishment", I said.

She looked at me.

"You'll have to treat me today. I'll eat till my tummy curses my mother and you'll pay the bill."

She giggled cutely,"Done, it means you will forgive me?"

"Hmm... that I can manage."

"Woo-hooh!" Exclaimed Hoseok oppa," We're having a buffet treat from noona today!"

"No, you're not",said Jihyo,"It's only the three of us."

"But I wanna go too",said Jimin oppa,"Pleeeease?"

He made a puppy face and pouted.

Well, that obviously melted our Jihyo. She looked at unnie,"May be he can hang along?"

"Can you feel my judgement filling the atmosphere?" Asked the Namjoon oppa.

"That's not fair!" Hoseok oppa humphed,"Just because he's your boyfriend doesn't mean that you will take him with you and just because I'm not doesn't mean you'll not take me I am obviously coming with you you will have to take me as well or else I am not talking to you ever again!" He blabbered non-stop making us burst into laughter.

"Breath sunshine, alright. Everyone, move your butts. We're going out."

"But before that", toned Jihyo,"Unnie, we got a surprise for you."

"Me?" I asked.
