Falling Comets (Jungkook Fan fiction)

Chapter 42

After all those hard days of trying to catch up to the art work, Hyunsoo finally finished her research and was preparing to meet up with Jimin to take her source images for her final project piece. Hyunsoo decided to take his pictures at the same park they had walked through together, which made her feel excited just thinking about seeing him there again and working together for the poses and the dancing sketches.

Hyunsoo ended up taking a long while to get ready to meet Jimin, which meant she was also more than a little late. Luckily, Jimin didn't look like he minded. He was sipping his hot chocolate as he waited for her to run up to the bench he was sitting on near the cafe in the park.

"Want some?" he said straight away.

Hyunsoo, assuming he meant whether she wanted to buy a hot chocolate for herself, nodded happily and took her wallet out. At the same time, Jimin held his cup out to her and watched her for a reaction.

"Uh." Hyunsoo looked confused and took his cup, hesitating on giving it back and buying her own or simply just sharing it with Jimin.

"If you don't want it, it's ok. I just didn't want it anymore so didn't want to waste it," he said after a while, still looking at Hyunsoo but smiling now.

Oh, thought Hyunsoo. "No, I'll take it... thanks." She smiled back and sipped.

"Let's find a good area to do our work at. It's a little hilly here," said Jimin, standing up and gesturing for Hyunsoo to follow him further down a path they didn't take last time.

Hyunsoo heaved up her backpack when she stood up. It had her best camera and a sketching pad with a few pencils. There were some other things that took up space but those were left inside from ages before, as Hyunsoo was too lazy to clean her bag out properly.

"How about here?" Hyunsoo pointed towards an open grass area with a newly painted brown bench at the end. There was a swing on the same end as well. "This kind of open area is exactly what I need."

Jimin checked the ground as he did a few moves across the grass, before beaming at Hyunsoo and nodding excitedly. "This is great! The weather is alright at the moment as well so let's start with the pictures before it gets cloudy."

And with that, the teamwork began. Jimin was in his coat at first rehearsing his routine, during the time in which Hyunsoo was setting up her camera and quickly going through her plan of what she wanted and how to get there for the pictures. Once this was done, Jimin took his coat off for the sake of the source images and immediately started shaking ever so slightly.

"Will you be alright?" asked Hyunsoo. She was worried whether he would catch a cold like this or not; she wanted to quickly get this little photo shoot done and move on.

Jimin, rather than replying, put his arms up in the air and made V signs. "Let's do this! I'm completely prepared. I've practiced for this day as well as my exam so don't worry."

"Wow, that's dedication," replied Hyunsoo, looking impressed.

"Just make me look good," said Jimin. He eye smirked at her and got into his position.

Hyunsoo's heart skipped a beat, but she ignored it, taking her camera to point at Jimin and waited for him to start dancing. They had decided for him to slow the dance routine down as if it was in slow motion, mainly because Hyunsoo wanted to capture as much as possible.

The whole process was so fascinating to watch, or maybe it was Jimin who was just that amazing and appealing for her eyes. Hyunsoo was just as excited as Jimin was during the dance, she kept taking pictures in different angles and moving side to side. They ended up repeating the dance a couple of times, before Hyunsoo finally sat down with her sketch pad out in front of her and her pencil at the ready. This time, Jimin was playing around more, experimenting with his moves and his body, finding what he liked as he zoned out from the world around him and concentrated only on himself and the music. The pencil in Hyunsoo's hand moved so quickly as she tried her best to draw him as he danced. It was a new experience for her to try this but it was also interesting. In fact, once they plopped down on the grass afterwards, they breathed in the fresh air and exhaled at the same time, grinning at each other and talking about all the cool things they managed to get and what they thought.

It was a lot of fun working like this, and since they were too tired to go back home already, they decided to buy some lunch to eat on the grass. Jimin volunteered to go to the cafe, while Hyunsoo cleaned up the space they used and put her things away.

"We should do this again! I think I even managed to make some new moves while I practiced." Jimin bit into his chicken wrap excitedly, while holding a carton of mango juice.

Hyunsoo nodded as she sipped into her own carton. "I'm glad we're working together for our projects. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"I'm glad I've saved you from the workload then," said Jimin, giggling as he threw his head sideways. The cute laugh filled Hyunsoo with the urge to laugh back with him. "I hope it's ok bringing it up, but is everything ok with Jungkook at the moment?"

Hyunsoo immediately remembered what Hoseok said to her recently and felt her smile disappear. "I, um, yes. Why do you ask?"

"Just checking up on you," he replied, "don't want you to get hurt or anything."

There was a weird warm feeling in her and something Hyunsoo didn't know how to describe or put into words exactly, but whatever it was, she saw it pass through Jimin's eyes as well. That's what made it stick to Hyunsoo's mind for the next day or so... at least until she met up with Jungkook... at his house... only to help him with his art project though, since he asked so 'nicely over text'.
