days grew into weeks, weeks grew into months.

in a span of three months, it's safe to say that julia hasn't completely moved on yet. she was immune to the fact that her system always looks for jungkook, whereever she may be.

but moving on is a must; she doesn't want to keep hurting anymore. she was stuck with a fallacy of love which was to love someone continuously even if the one you love dislikes you, loathes you, even. loyalty; and such. pure viridity.

but as time flew, she realized that it was indeed a misconception, and that it wasn't as accurate as she thought it was before. she realized that, for her love for someone to grow healthier and for her to be happier with loving that certain person: the other should love her too.

with julia's feet in the sand, she smiled as she witnessed the sunset. the relaxing breeze that made her want to close her eyes and relax all day.

she reached for her phone and snapped a photo of the lovely sunset. orange hues, with a hint of purple in the sky. the clouds which was gradually disappearing from sight, being exchanged with an enticing night sky.

"hey, let's take a picture together!" jimin says, smiling. julia faced the front camera to the both of them, posing for the shot. both smiled beneath the wonderful sky, happy.

"can you get me a solo shot?" jimin asked, posing jokingly. hands in both hips, leaned in an awkward stance with a silly facial expression. julia cackles.

"you're such a clown." she commented before taking the picture. jimin came running to see the photo, and when he did, both of them bursted into laughter.

"hey, you too." jimin said, as he positioned to take a shot. julia stood by the beach and made sure that the sunset was visible in the photo. and then, she smiled.

jimin took the photo and was in awe for a moment. she looked absolutely stunning; like the sunset, the sunrise, the starry night sky. she looked beautiful. the epitome of perfection, jimin thought.

"can i see?" julia asked, as she approached jimin. and in jimin's eyes, it was as if she was walking in slow motion. a few strands of her hair hanging loose, the smile curved on her lips and the dimples in her cheeks.

"i like you." jimin voiced out.

julia stopped her track. both stared at each other's eyes, as silence engulfed them. the air and the waves the only sounds to be heard.

in those three months, jimin made her feel a type of feeling jungkook has never made her feel. it was as if jimin was caring for her genuinely; more than a friend. he was patient with her, they were together for almost every single day.

jimin accompanied julia, whether it was in her most happiest days, or in her most saddest days. he was there to lift her spirits up.

and that is something jungkook has never done to her on his own.

a stroll around the park with smiles on their faces. biking around town with happiness in their eyes. jimin waiting for julia everytime she works until she finishes. him making her happy, smiling in joy.

everything jimin made her feel, made her ecstatic.

these memories ran through julia's mind. she cracked a smile, so did jimin.

the boy sighed. "okay, that was an unexpected confession, i swear.." he held his nape. "look, julia. i've liked you even before our first encounter at the convenience store. i like everything about you, and everything that you do makes my heart flutter."

julia looked at jimin in awe. jimin's embarassed expression making her laugh at the second, but she didn't want to ruin the moment. "i love your smile, and you keep me up all night."

"okay, i really can't express my feelings in words but—" jimin sighed once more, nervously. he clenched his fist, and got ready to say these lines:

"can i court you?" he spoke softly. "i won't promise anything, i'll show you along the way how deeply i care for you."

dusk has came, the wind blowing colder, but the warmth of each other's hearts cozied each other up. the full moon peaked at the sky, the stars which sparkled.

"yes." julia said. "yes." she repeated.

jimin, with bulging eyes, jumped in glee. "wait, really?" he fist bumps the air before hugging julia tightly. "thank you," he murmurs.

julia just chuckled before hugging jimin back.
