"Are you drunk?" She asks, as both of them starts walking towards wherever they are about to.

"I'm sober."

"Are you for real?" She raises a brow. "You reek like alcohol, my dude."

"Because I drank?" He replies back with a sarcastic smile. "But I'm not drunk."

"Yeah, sure. Whatever you say."

"What were you up to?" He asks, putting his hood on as well.

"Was chilling in my depressed zone, I guess."

"Why? What's wrong?" Jungkook asks, becoming worried.

She waves her hand in front of her face, "Chill, I'm just joking."

"Why do you want to go out for a walk at this time when it's literally 4'C, Jungkook?" She asks.

"It's 5'C and because I want to do —" He pauses and suddenly grabs a hold of her hand, surprising her. "This."

"Wow, mister." She fakes a cough. "You are brave now that you are drunk, huh?"

"I'm sober."

She gives him the 'really' look before rolling her eyes.

"Oh, do you still come here?" He asks when they arrive at the back of the church. So you see, the accommodation they are living in is at a refined church area (?) where the church is used as the common room and the dorm buildings are around it.

She glances at the small steps at the back of the church; a place she always sits at sometimes and gazes over at the city.

She lets out a small giggle, "No, which is a really good thing."

"We shouldn't be here then." Jungkook says, quickly turning his body to walk from the other way.

"No, it's fine. I mean, you can make this a better place." She says, walking towards the small steps and sitting down, dragging Jungkook with her as well as they are still holding hands.

Jungkook's heart skips a beat at her words. Their friend group knows well how Dara is very emotionally unstable that they sometimes even seriously consider that she might have mild depression.

Now, we know just because one is emotionally unstable doesn't mean that they have mild depression. There's a lot more to it.

But all the symptoms of mild depression point towards Dara's behaviors. And this spot is the spot she always comes to whenever she's emotionally unwell.

It has been 6 months since they've met her and they didn't have a clue about this spot until one day, the three boys; Jungkook, Taehyung and Jimin passed by while they were on their way back from Tesco.

Jungkook can feel his palms start to sweat and he lowkey panics because first, they are holding hands and that might disgust her. Second, he doesn't know how to make the atmosphere anything but quiet and sad.

"Are you hot?" She suddenly asks.

"I am."

"No, you are not." She scrunches her face before continuing, "You might be feeling hot but you are not hot."

"Fine, i am feeling hot."

She blinks, takes out her phone and shoves it in his face. "It's 1'C, honey. And you are just wearing a pretty thin hoodie, not even a jacket."

"Don't worry. If i start to feel cold, I will snuggle up to you."

"Ew." She immediately rejects with a straight face. "You are being undeniably cringy today."

"Do you not like it?" He chuckles, poking her side.

She giggles, being ticklish and is about to reply but her phone vibrates, interrupting her.

"Oh, my mom's calling. I should go back."

"I will walk you back." Jungkook nods, both of them standing up with hand in hand.

"You can just answer it now, you know. It's not like I understand Burmese." He says.

"Yeah," She chuckles. "But my mother is not really comfortable with me talking to her through a video call even if the person beside me doesn't understand our language.

"Fair enough. My mom can be sometimes like that too."

As they arrive in front of Daydream building, Dara quickly pats his head, saying a soft 'goodnight'.

She quickly lets go of his hand and rushes inside, a bit too fast for his liking but then, the thought that he has been holding her hand for the past 20 or so minutes makes him happy -- too happy.

With a big bunny smile on his face, he hops back to his room cheerfully.
