aurora: in full bloom | hongjoong - ateez [hiatus]

⇢ ch. 13

The sky loudly rumbles, making you look out your window.

You see that the sky has turned a dark grey, indicating that stormy weather is on it's way.

As the storm starts to roll through, you start to feel lonely.

You're stuck indoors as darkness consumes the city.

You're incredibly thankful to have Hongjoong in your life though.

Over the past few weeks, as your relationship has picked up, he's been there for you even more than you could possibly imagine.

A knock at your door half an hour later indicates that it's Hongjoong.

You open the door to see him weighed down by a couple of bags.

"I brought some art supplies for us to do crafts as well as clothes and other things in case you need me to stay over," he shyly says.

You smile at how cute and thoughtful he is.

You feel a little awkward, as you don't spend a lot of alone time with Hongjoong, especially at one of your places.

"Should we do some crafting?" You say to loosen the mood.

Hongjoong nods and carefully takes out the art supplies.

You're surprised at the amount of materials he brought. It includes canvases, paints, brushes, a jean jacket, phone cases, and more.

Your shocked face makes Hongjoong explain himself.

"I've recently started doing something called reforming. You helped me realize that there's more to music, so I decided to find another creative outlet to spend my time."

Hongjoong has always been a creative person, as he showcases his creativity through music. It amazes you that his creative mind now has wandered to a different side of the creativity spectrum.

You envy him a little though, as he is musically talented and now artistically talented. You wish you had an once of his talent.

It warms your heart to think that Hongjoong spoke so highly of you. That he would credit you for deciding to find another hobby.

You and Hongjoong jump into crafting. He puts on some music so the silence doesn't consume the two of you. It helps drone out the claps of thunder and rain pelting the windows.

You had lit some candles as well, making the apartment fill with sweet smells.

After awhile, you look up to see the state of Hongjoong's creations.

You find that it like a Skittles bag puked in your living room.

Your thought makes you giggle a little.

"Why are you laughing? Do my creations look bad?"

"No, it's just, it looks like a Skittles bag barfed in my living room. It's a beautiful array of a rainbow."
