The heart never forgets. It's just that... sometimes there has to be sad endings for the spark of better beginnings.

I rub my eyes, dragging my feet to the kitchen to have a cup of water. I'm thirstier than usual today for some reason.
I stop as I notice Jimin hyung leaning lazily at the counter, his back facing me. An immediate silly grin takes ahold of my lips, and my arms ache to reach to him and engulf him in the biggest backhug in the history of morning backhugs. What is he doing?
- Ah... yes, officer-nim. Mmhm.
Officer...?
It's a split-second that makes me decide against moving further, my alertness level thriving compared to my previous morning soreness.
- Yes, I understand... Have a good day. Yeah, you too.
He lets out a distressed sigh while turning around, eyes going wide open when they meet mine.
- Hey... -I say quietly, feeling out-of-place.
- Jungoo-ah.
It's five seconds of silent staring that starts up my anxiety, one that I'm quite not in favor of letting take over me just yet. I should be calm, I should handle this like an adult.
- Did I interrupt something? -I bite my lip, my steps towards him coming to a halt when he meets me half way, arms wrapping around me as he tiptoes, pressing his lips unto mine. I respond, keeping him at eye level when the chaste kiss ends and our eyelashes flutter open.
- It's alright. -He whispers, hands caressing my waist where they cling into.
He's been like this since yesterday... He is with me, he stands in front of me, his hands reach all of me, body warmth radiates all around my veins, but somehow it feels like he is still out of reach... Like he is staring at me behind a foggy glass.
- Hyung... is there anything you want to tell me? -I ask concernedly, ignoring all the voices that tell me to pretend like everything is alright.
- Yeah. -He nods slowly, taking his time watching me. I didn't expect him to agree talking it out this easily. -Just got a call from the police station... They are calling us in for testimony. -He bites his lip in expectance of my reaction. -... for Bang Shi Hyuk's case.
My reflex is to close my eyes and draw a really loud sigh.
This again?
- Jungoo-ah. -Jimin hyung's hands travel from my waist to my shoulders, thumbs caressing softly the spots they land.
I ignore his words and instead wrap my arms around him properly, pulling him in for a tight hug as I hide my face on the crook of his neck, a warm nest for me to seek comfort from the more I squeeze him closer and the more his shoulders raise up from the pressure.
