My Innocent Roommate

Hopes and Dreams

Everything starts with hope...and everything ends with a dream, as long as we all believe in it.

"Hey Mackenzie, why are you laying all the way over there?"

"B-Because you're going to tease me again..."
(>_<)

"Aww I won't! I promise! I promise I won't touch your soft spot again~"

"...You promise?"
(￢ε￢　)

"I promise~ Now, come over here and lay next to me."
(*^^*)

Juno said as he pats the empty spot next to him, smiling as his brown eyes gleamed with happiness. Brownie yawns as he lays on the end of the bed, curled up in a small fluffy ball as he quietly snores.
I pulled the covers up to my nose, trying to hide my red face as I carefully scoot closer and closer to Juno, my heart racing as I was now laying next to him, staring up at him with a shy expression.
He plops his head down on my lap, closing his eyes and smiling as he pinched my red cheek.

"See? I'm not gonna tease you~ I just want to rest my head on your comfortable lap!"
(*^▽^*)

"Okay okay! I trust you..."
(￢ε￢　)

"So...what would you like to talk about now?"

"Hmm I don't know...not many topics to discuss about. I mean, I'm not a politics kind of person and there isn't much going on here in South Korea...so what would you like to talk about, Juno?"

"Hmm..."

Juno hums in response as he places a hand under his chin, sticking his tongue out as he was deep in thought.
God he was so cute whenever he was thinking...
He then snaps his fingers, gasping.

"I know! If you had a dream job, what would it be? What would you like to have done if you were able to do it?"
（＾_＾）

"Hm? A dream job?"
(。･o･｡)

"Yep! A dream job!"
(^～^)

No one has ever asked me that kind of question before. But I have heard about it many times, a person doing their dream job that they were happy with...
Honestly, I have never been much of a dreamer.
In this world, no one cares about achieving their dreams, even if they tried.
In the end, it doesn't even matter, for all that everyone cared about now was making money...
I sadly smile as I sat up, playing with a strand of Juno's dark hair as I told him my thoughts.

"A dream job, huh? Yeah...I used to have one back when I was in elementary school...when we were learning about astronomy, I have always dreamed of being an astronaut..."

"Aww a spaceman?"
（＾ω＾）

I giggled as I pinched his cheek.

"Yeah, a spaceman...I have always wondered what it would be like traveling through the cosmos, discovering new life on planets, being able to touch the stars...I just loved the idea of it so much."

"So why did you stop dreaming?"

"Because they don't send the astronauts out there anymore...I mean, they do, but because of the new technology being developed, they would rather send a robot up there than an actual human being...who can describe what outer space is really like in their eyes instead of providing a sad, blurry picture..."

"Ah...that's true."

"Yeah...but I also have another silly dream job. I also dreamed of owning a bakery in a small town...making cakes, macaroons, cookies and brownies~"
