𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗

A blanket of stars covered the city of Seoul, the lights of the buildings were blend with the stars themselves making it difficult for the human eye to differentiate where the sky began and the skyscrapers ended. The voice of the wind sang over the sounds of the city creating a perfect melody. The perfect dream.

Her face was hiding behind the high collar of her jacket, from which the end of the zipper was nailed to the skin beneath her jaw bothering her. She sighed bringing the deadly stick to her lips, watching as the smoke mixed with the light mist of the environment when it came out of her throat. She closed one eye for a few seconds, something she used to do since she was little even though she didn't have a reason to do, and she took her gaze to the phone in her hands. The light of the phone's screen on her face, enhancing her features giving it a gloomy and sad touch.

The fingers of her left hand, somewhat numb due to the cold, began to crawl across the phone screen filling the screen of letter notes that at that time would not make sense but surely Yoongi or Namjoon would put them to good use in one of their next songs. Maybe if they were good enough they would use them as her solo or maybe even put them on some song from her next solo album.

Notifications that the boys were talking in the group that the eight had appeared at the top of the screen, didn't read them, simply pushed them out of the screen without caring too much if they were talking about the place where they would go to dinner or if they asked for her whereabouts. She didn't want to talk to someone at that time, she didn't want them to know that she was freezing on the roof of the company building because she was dying for a cigarette, she didn't want that, now that she had managed to relax and some inspiration, they would bother her with what was her request from Panda Express.

But apparently it was not going to be possible because someone had already found her, and that someone was walking slowly towards her, with his hands tucked into the pockets of his jacket and with his teeth shivering. Jungkook sat beside herin silence "Hey...".

"Hello" She replied without looking at him, her eyes were focused on the now black screen due to loss of contact. The boy raised both of his eyebrows when he heard her, was that what he had heard was Arabella Lee, the badass Storm, being shy?.

"The hyungs are looking for you, they want us all to go to dinner together. They want to celebrate Jin's birthday in Korea before going to Nagoya." Her leaned against the wall, tilting his head to the sky although his eyes never stopped looking at her. She was so beautiful, she was like a dream. When she turned to look at him, he quickly closed his eyes "What are you doing here?".

"I needed to be alone" She replied, tracing his features with her eyes, stopping at that scar that decorated his cheek. She brought the cigarette to her lips again when he opened his eyes slightly, let out the smoke slowly causing his gaze to shift to her lips. She licked her lips instinctively "Have you ever thought about how our life would have been if we weren't, well you know, famous? I did" She answered herself by diverting her gaze to the remoteness of the city "That's why I climb here, because here I don't feel the pressure. The screams fade, here they don't give me frivolous conversations like 'Do you like this dress for this performance?', 'Oh, look at these heels, Versace sent them to you,' 'You should go out with him, it would give you more fame if you do it" It's ridiculous" She scoffed before bringing the almost consumed cigar to her lips but before she could touch her lips a hand snatched it away.

She watched as Jungkook held the cigarette between his fingers, immediately thought that he would throw it to the ground but was surprised when she saw him take it to his lips and then cough as the smoke came out from between his teeth breaking the image of a bad boy that he had given her making her laugh. She gave a small blow to his back helping him while still laughing.

"Why do you do this?" He simulated an arcade "It's disgusting" He returned it quickly, not wanting to have it close. She accepted it laughing and then threw it to the ground, it was almost consumed and Jungkook had broken what little was left squeezing it after his coughing attack.

"You get used to it with time, believe me" Laughter died leaving a beautiful smile as a body that Jungkook appreciated, as well as the warmth of her hand —still perched on his shoulder— provides. Arabella frowned "Why did you do that?".

"I wanted to know what it felt like. After your sad speech I have come to the conclusion that we have lost part of our adolescence. Think about it, we have not gone to nightclubs, we have not got drunk, we have not had our first teenage love or none of that" Lie, his mind started screaming. Lie, lie, lie. It was all a big lie, a dirty secret that nobody knew and he thought about leaving it that way until it lasted, he hoped to fall in love with someone else and forget that stupid crush but even after years of waiting it had not yet passed and he already began to think that it had never happened .

Bella's smile slightly diminished becoming a little grimace "You're right, but we still have a life ahead of us so, what if when we go to Nagoya, I take you to a club and get drunk? I won't drink so you can do it, do you?. What do you think? I always drink, it is a great sacrifice that I am making here" She raised and lowered her eyebrows in a playful movement making him smile.

"You have more experience than me so" He shrugged, making her let out a little squeak that made him laugh, although his laugh cut short as he felt her arms around his neck and a second later her body on top of his. He tensed as the alarms began to sound again in his head, but still he circled her waist with his arms and placed his chin on her shoulder. He smiled softly, enjoying the feeling of having her in his arms, just as he did every time the situation occurred.

"It will be great, Jungkook and Storm partying. Maybe we can convince some of the boys so I can drink with you too. You need to know that I am hard to beat at shots" She laughed filling his ears with the sweet melody. He closed his eyes tightly trying not to break in that second, bit his lower lip trying to hold back tears.

Arabella began to separate from him which caused him to panic again, tightened his grip on her waist stopping her, making them be face to face.

The girl looked worried when she saw his hurt expression "Kook ..."

"We have to talk about what happened, Bella." His voice came out trembling and this time it was in Arabella's head where the alarms began to sound.

I MISS THIS but my full comeback will be soon, I promise 🥺
