"Just maybe, creating another reality with you isn't so bad after all, Jaemin."
He's persistent and she's stubborn, add some bumpers on the road and it's already one hell of a life story.

"Is it bad that you caught my interest at first sight?"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
My body is still frozen still. "I'll just ignore his message." I stood up and took my hoodie before exiting my apartment to the supermarket since i ran out of groceries.
"Damn, its chilly." I whispered and step my foot inside the market. There were less people out since it was already night time and usually adults would go straight back home from work.
"Looks like they launched a new ramen flavour. I have to try it." I scooped to packets and placed them inside my basket.
After getting all the necessary items, I didn't forget to stock up Lulu's food too. The groceries were paid and stored inside my own personal bag because we gotta save planet earth and shit.
The stars were clearly shining brightly out. I couldn't waste such beautiful opportunity to stargaze alone since I'm single as a pringle so I decided to stop by the playground. I put my bag down beside me and sat on the swing.
Muffled sounds of aeroplanes were buzzing up from the sky. I inhaled the fresh air and closed my eyes. This brings back memories before everything fell apart.
"I couldn't do anything to help you." My hands were getting cold the longer i stay out. "Help who?" "What the-?" Jaemin suddenly appeared from behind me and sat on the other swing. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked, feeling pissed.
"Just strolling around. I live quite near here. What's the matter? You look down." I sighed and tried to calm myself down. "Nothing that concerns you. I'll be on my way." I stood up but he pulled my hand down which made me sit back.
"Don't go yet. I was happy to be able to stargaze with a friend." He pouted. "I'm not your friend. Plus, i would rather stargaze alone." I spat out angrily. At this point, i wish I'd never even met him in the first place. He's super annoying and nosy all the time.
"That's not true. My mom said that stargazing is better when there's someone to accompany you." He said softly while ruffling his black hair.
"Well, I don't believe in such bullshit." He looked quite taken aback. This is good. Now, he'll be more pissed and leave me alone. I thought to myself.
But instead, he just laughed and stood up from the swing. Is this guy out of his mind? He turned to face me and held out his hand. "Take my hand, and I'll show you why it's not bullshit." Come on now, for a second there I thought he was angry.
"No thanks." I rolled my eyes. "You never know. Besides, don't you want to experience how does it feel like?" He persuaded a little bit more. He won't stop until i agree right? "Fine. For 5 minutes. That's it." I took his hand lazily.
Wether it's the lighting or the weather outside, i swear i could see him blushing. "Great. Follow me." He started to drag me along till we reach a hill. There were few houses here since it was pretty far from town.
"From the hills, you can feel the real fresh air and the feeling of 'free' itself." He whispered quietly. The cold air was hitting my face as i shiver. I hate to admit it but he's right. The view from up here is ten times more amazing. The stars looked closer too.
Then, he pulled my body closer to him and wrapped his arms around my waist gently. I could feel the warmth if his breath tickling my neck around the exposed area. " Why are you back hugging me? Get off." I clicked my tongue in annoyance.
Just as I thought he was being less annoying. "Trust me. This will make it even more better." His voice showed a hint of tiredness in it. "I'm going to scream."
He gripped on tighter as a sign of reassurance and begging. I allowed him to stay in contact with me to avoid from dragging down time while i stare at the view in front of us.
"You must be a night person, huh?" He broke the silence. "Why? Because i love the stars?" I closed my eyes in attempt to endure the strong wind. "No, you look much livelier during the night." He spun me around and hold both of my arms to my sides.
"That might be true." I avoided his gaze and stepped closer to the iron railings that were separating us from the cliff. "Why do you hate me so much?" What a random question. "I don't know. You're annoying." My answer was straight and practically facts.
There's no point in sugar coating if he knows I'm lying. "I see. But can i ask you something?" He's already asked me plenty. "You have quite the nerve to ask me." I mumbled under my breath. "What is it?"
He went completely silent. Since my back was facing him, i grew impatient and decided to look at his face because he's wasting my time. But as soon as i did that, my gaze witnessed his pink tinted cheeks.
"What the hell are you blushing for? It's cold but not that cold you know." I wondered at him. "Is it bad that you caught my interest at first sight?" My brain stopped functioning but my heartbeat starts to pace faster. What kind of nonsense is this?
