"Jasmine." Spoke those beautiful, brown lips.

"Aren't you..."
"Dabin." I answered.

She tilted her head downward to hide her smile.

But I caught it just like the rest of her features and hidden treasures. All black and all gold.

How could a simple function of the face hold so much heart and humility?

They say I'm an optimist, Christian, Scott, and Kyung-Mo. But all I want to think about is now.

I believe that I'm a lIVE-in-the-moment type of guy. I'm a painter, spreading all the good vibes around to those who go in a downward spiral.

And that's why I lifted her head up.

Her head rose up with my touch. Her eyes, deepening her smile.

"Where you from?" I questioned.

"I'm from here, London. But personally, I think it lacks color. Where are you from?"

That doesn't matter. I thought. But talking breathes life to a world of connection.

"South Korea but I'm an Island kid." I told her.

"Sounds lIVEly and colorful."

"Yeah, but I like you better."

Her blush made it easier to make my promise.

"You know I can paint the world
Sitting there in black and gold
You're the perfect chemical
I gotta test I gotta know."

"You know I'm no criminal
But I could take your heart and go
You're the perfect chemical
I gotta test I gotta gotta"

"Oh really?" She said.

"If you just let me."

One time out loud and three more times in my head. I'm longing for that feeling that gives me purpose.

I can't help but think about space when it's all around me. Empty but filled with a void of color. It gets brighter every time she looks my way.

Do you know how gold is formed? It takes a collision and this and that- blah blah blah.

I don't know either. How or why I feel this way. But gold is one of the most precious things on Earth like Jasmine.

The gem and the girl. She's the perfect chemical.

Just let me
Just let me
Just let me
Just let me

"Good cars, a lot of money
I might not have but
I can love you
I can care for you
And if you want
We can get on a spaceship
Fly across the night sky
I can pick the stars and place them in your hands
Just tell me, anything."

"I can tell that you dream big and guess what else?"

"What?"

"I can tell that you're a man of your word." Jasmine revealed.

She's my type.

"There's just one thing."

My eyes widened swiftly.

"I'm unfamiliar to that type of thinking and dreaming." She said.

"If you're new
To this paint the world
We can roll with this black
And gold
What to do with this chemical
I gotta test I gotta gotta."

"I could I could
I could paint your beauty
That's if you
Just let me."

"Okay."

That's the vibe I can paint.

That's the vibe I can paint
