Diana first person pov:

"Where are we going?" he asks as we climb into the car. I'm in the driver seat and he sits beside me in the passengers.

"You'll see." Is all I say before I turn the car on and start driving. We drive out of the building and onto the bright streets of Seoul, colorfully lit up in the dark of the night. I can tell he's trying to guess where I'm taking him, but as soon as I get onto the highway and make for the country I can tell he no longer has any clue as to where we're headed.

The car goes on for a while, driving down the large roads, leaving the bright city behind us. Now on a more secluded road and off the highway, we're the only car on the road. We've gone for about an hour when I pull over and stop the car.

He curiously looks out the window, but since the lights of the car are still on, you can barely see a thing. "Where are we?" he asks, but I just turn the car off and get out.

He follows me out of the car, and into the dark. We're standing at the top of a hill, sloping down to a large open field, with a gorgeous view of the illuminated city.

Standing there open-mouthed, he stares out at the magnificent sight, but I'm not done yet. Without giving him the chance to say anything, I reach into my pocket and pull out my air pods, connect them to my phone, and get some music going.

Wordlessly I hand him an air pod and watch as he puts it in his ear, revealing my choice of music. He gives a slight chuckle and I feel my chest lessen. Smiling, I grab his hand again, giving him a good look before darting down the hill, pulling him along with me.

"NOOooooonnnaaaAAAA!!!!" he yells, pumping his legs and feet to keep up with me. Magically, his shout was also in time with the music.

In no time, he's regained possession of his legs and is running faster than me. I hold my arm out as far as it will go to prevent being pulled onto my face. We've reached the bottom of the steepest part of the hill so I'm able to catch up a bit, but with his long legs, matched against my short ones, he's still faster and pulling me.

Without thinking, I leap up and attach myself onto his back. He emits a large grunt, at the sudden extra weight, but soon adjusts and carries on running down the hill with me on his back.

I grab onto his strong shoulders and hold on tight, as my legs automatically latch around his waist, high enough as not to get in the way of his legs as they speed through the grass. My head is getting a bit dizzy, being bumped around, so I lean forward and rest it over my hand, by his neck.

With the music blaring in our ears, and the only light to guide us, coming from the glowing city in the distance, we stager to the foot of the long hill. Jungkook slows to a walk and I detach myself from his muscled back, landing in the soft grass.

We take a moment standing there, trying to catch our breaths. But then a new song on the playlist starts and I take his hands again and begin to dance. Nothing fancy, just holding hands, circling, spinning, waltzing our feet.

The next song comes on and I have to laugh. I completely forgot it was in here.

Stepping away from his arms, I ready myself, and begin to sing out loud with the song:

"Take my hand. Take a breath. Pull me close. And take one step."

I sing, holding out my arms. Jungkook smiles his bunny smile and begins to act along with me. Since he joined in with watching the movie with me and TXT, he knows it pretty well too.

We begin to dance then, waltzing through the grass. It's quite dark but I can see the bunny smile remaining on his face. But then suddenly I'm lifted off the ground, being held up by his strong arms, just like the way they did it in the movie.

"It's like catching lightning, the chances of finding someone, like you. It's one in a million the chances of feeling the way, we do."

We sing. Or, I sing. He sings the best he can and harmonizes without words when he can't, but since we're also listening to the song it doesn't matter. Dancing through the grass, we fall into the music. I let him lift me up, spinning me through the air and then returning to his secure arms.

"And with every step together, we just keep on getting better. So can I have this dance, can I have this dance!"

The song ends and we're left holding each other, standing in silence. I can barely see him in the dark, but somehow the night sky reflects in his eyes, making them sparkle with stars.

A new faster song starts up and I get an idea. "You're it!" I squeal and tap his arm before sprinting away.

He takes a second to process what happened but then gets a mischievous smile and darts after me. By this time I've run a good distance through the grass and he has a stretch of the field before getting close to me.

He moves his legs in an inhuman speed and gains on me. I wait till he's a yard or two away before dropping down to one knee and sprinting another way. His outstretched arm sails over me and he loses balance, but is up and chasing me again in a second.

This time when he gets closer he reaches out with both arms and traps me against his body. "Got you!" he squeals, excited to have won.

I giggle and step out of his embrace to leap up onto his back again. The music goes on and he starts swaying to the tune. After a minute of dancing around while I'm still on his back, I slide off and dart away again.

But this time when he turns around to look for me, I've darted far enough away for him not to be able to see me well and crouched down into the tall grass. This is one of the times when being small is quite useful.

He searches for me, in generally the right direction, but still can't see me. After I have my fun of watching his clueless face, I make a bird whistle and his attention snaps to my position. He walks over, merely a yard from me, but doesn't see me.

He turns around, and just as he's about to walk away, I leap up and crash into his back. "GRraaaaAAAHHHhhh!!!" he shouts, startled, and we stumble and fall to the ground.

"Got you!!" I say, half on top of his chest. He laughs, and I roll away so I'm lying next to him on the soft ground. With my hands behind my head, I stare into the open night sky. My eyes flit over thousands of stars I don't know the names or constellations too, and most likely never will, but I don't care.

Turning my head away from the open galaxy and down to the star on earth, I look over at Jungkook to find his eyes already on me. Staring at me, studying me, smiling at me. Smiling back, I look back up at the stars, letting the music wash me away.

I never want to leave here. Never want to leave this moment, just staring up at the night sky, listening to the music, and breathing in the clear air, as we lay side-by-side in the soft grass.

This chapter was one of the original scenes that I imagined, and then came up with the more detailed plot line for the book.

Either way, I'm happy that it's out and posted!! 🥰

What are your thoughts on the chapter?

This is unrelated but my mom heard that I got 10k reads on this book and she made me chocolate ice cream 😂🤎🍫🍦

Happy reading!
