There's something beautiful
about loving you, Kim Taehyung.

You are the very meaning of joy.
You filled my heart full;
and yet why am I not content?

Like a rose with thorns,
the tighter i hold you,
the deeper the wounds; the darker the scars.

Even so,
I still don't want to let this go.

"Where are you going?" Jungkook grabbed Ae-Ri's wrist. She stopped her movements and turned around, "I'm going to get some fresh air. The smoke is too much for me to handle." she said as she tried to pull her hand away from him.

"Do you want me to come with?" he offered.

Ae-Ri's gaze then locked on the pair in front of them, Yeona and Taehyung was laughing about something. Ae-Ri's bet it was Taehyung who made the joke since Yeona was laughing harder than the boy next to her. Jungkook followed her gaze; a strike of pain run through his heart once again. Jungkook stood up and blocked the view from Ae-Ri, "Hey... You want me to come with you?" he asked again.

Ae-Ri snapped out of her daydream and answered, "It's okay, I want to be alone." she said. A concern look was all over Jungkook's face, Ae-Ri knew that look all too well. She chuckled, "Don't give me that look, Koo. I'm just going to the beach over there. You can practically see me from here. See?" She pointed at the direction. Ae-Ri was right; Jungkook can clearly see the beach and there was a couple walking along the shore. Jungkook eyed her once again, pleading her to take him with her.

"Jungkook! Jimin! I need your help with this!" Jin's shouting voice was heard. Both him and Ae-Ri turned their attention to Jin.

"Go. I'll be fine. You can watch me from here. Okay?" She reassured him and pushed him towards Jin's direction.

"I'll run to you if I don't see you from here, got that?" Jungkook warned., pointing his index finger right at her nose.

Ae-Ri giggled, "Okayy. okay! Whatever you say, Koo..." she rolled her eyes before walking away from the bonfire.

Ae-ri walked along the empty beach, the cold wet sand squished between her toes. She watched as the salt water comes in small waves, occasionally run through her feet. The salty sea wind gently blew her raven locks away; the air was cold but she wasn't bothered by it. Somehow, it soothes her. If it was during the sun set, the sky would've had been painted with magnificent pink and orange with a mixture of lilac shades. But it was actually night time. The sky was exceptionally beautiful; the scatter of shimmering stars of the pitch black sky was especially breath-taking with the full moon near the horizon. The sea was glimmering as the moonlight cast upon it; almost look like a mirror reflecting the stars above.

She took a deep breath; taking it all. The air, the view, the nature; admiring them dearly. The scenery inspired her to write something but then she realized that she left her journal at the bonfire. She sighed in disappointment. Ae-Ri didn't know why and how she started to write down her feelings in her journal. But ever since she was a little kid, she wasn't really good in expressing what she was feeling. She believed that if she smile and laugh a lot, she would be happy. At least that was she was told by her parents. Therefore, whenever she feels down or in pain, she would try her best not to show it to people; and will write it down somewhere. It was in high school when she had her first journal; Jungkook gave it as a birthday present.
