Jinyoung's POV

~trip day 4~

"Mark!" He turns around and smiles.  A week before the trip he started wearing long sleeves and jeans only...now I know why. 

"Yeah, what's up?" He smiled bright and beautiful.  No.  Say it. 

"Can we talk in the cabin?" He was hesitant but nodded.

"Yeah sure."

• I looked in the bathroom.  A hidden blue box.  Jingling noises when shook.  I hated that because of my past.  I hated knowing the feeling, the sound, the insecurities, that pain. •

Walking in silence to the cabin made me think of everything I wanted to say. 

"So what's up?" Walking in that cabin, that question, that moment.  I couldn't spot the thoughts that popped up before. 

"P-please just r-roll up your sl-sleeves." That bitter feeling, that taste in my mouth from saying that after I've heard it myself.  That bitter taste, feeling, that pain, the tears of fear for him.  The sorrow i felt when he froze.

"Y-you- know?" He teared up just as me.  I nodded and he began to sob. His arms around me made me feel the same and depression he sunk into.

Almost drowning

I slip my arms around him petting his hair as I began to cry. 

"Mark just do me a favor." His sobs stopped but sniffles in my chest stay audible. 

"Yeah?"
....his voice cracked....

"Come with me to the docs tonight... Please?" He nodded and weakly smiled as I wipe a tear carefully off his cheek. 

"Thank you." I smiled pulling him into my chest once again.  I don't know why he did it...but I definitely want to prevent it. 

I don't need his reasoning, i don't need to see them, I just need to make sure he's ok and not doing this again.  I don't want him hurting himself...not now, not ever. 

🤐

He met me there.  At the docks.  He wore a smile, no weakness showing.  I'm glad.

"Here, sit." I tap the empty spot beside me and smile as he sits. 

"So why here?"

"Watch this." I wave my hand through the grass causing fireflies to show.

They slowly begin to float through the air in every direction.  Each one's lights flicker.  On, off, on, off. There's no beat, but it was still like music with the sound of crickets. 

"It's so pretty.." he looked at me with his eyes full of excitement and mesmerization. 

"You remind ne of them." I said smiling laying back.  He soon followed laying down beside me. 

"Hows that?"

"Just beautiful.  They remind me of good things.  Things I  want and it also reminds me of things I can avoid.  So promise me something?"

"Hm?"

"Stop cutting and I'll help you.  And one more thing."

"Yes?" Impatience, but curiosity.

"Be my Firefly forever... Stay my everlasting Firefly." He smiled and placed a quick peck on my lips. 

"Of course....to all of it."

Mark is mine...Mark is my everlasting Firefly.

And together...our lives will be known as the everlasting fireflies.
