➳ 3rd year highschool

sometimes, when i can't sleep. sometimes, when i am left alone with my thoughts. i think about us.

the world in general. and everytime i come to the conclusion, we are all just magnets.

our opposites attract us, just like the human and the ground.

ina and i are big opposites, which is a proof that shows: opposites attract each other.

i feel like him and i aren't opposites, but we attracted each other the second we met. is this us before a disaster?

we are different. but at some point we are very similar. we are an 'in between'.

magnets which don't have any direction. magnets who are still looking for our correct poles.

so i find myself staring at him sleeping, while thinking about it.

what would byeol five months after now say to this? would she say it's a regret?

jakes eyes flicker open as i get back to the reality, "good morning," a big smile spreads.

he silently makes some noises and snuggles back to me. i giggle at his sleepy state and touch his hair.

"dont you think it's time to wake up? we already missed breakfast," i try to shake him awake when jake shakes his head.

"how did we end up here," his morning voice echoes through the room, "you don't remember?" i ask surprised when he looks at me, also surprised.

he gets up and looks at me, visuals of a freshly woken up angel. i smile at him.

"you were at this party, deadly drunk," i say after a time and his head falls. "you told your friends to meet me," i continue, "to me, you said that," that i shouldn't let someone fall in love with me.

"what did i say, star?" he asks as i hesitate, "you said you want to go to the hotel," i lied.

effortlessly i lied at him. the guilt built each second we sat there in silence.

"thank you for taking care of me," jake placed his hand on mine as he smiled.

the purity in it, how do i even deserve him? i smile at him as i get up, "we should go home and get ready." he nods and gets out of the blanket, "dinner tonight?" i nod and look at him putting on his shoes.

"do you want me to walk you home?" i take his hand as we leave the hotel.

i think for a second, "it's better if you don't, that woman might be at home," i mumble when he holds my hand tighter.

"sorry, i wish we could," i look at his face when jake shakes his head.

"don't worry, star. we'll see each other tonight," he leaves a kiss on my forehead. just for that moment i could close my eyes.

it felt like he took away all these bad thoughts about home out of my head, with just one kiss on my forehead.

i feel him slowly letting go of my hand as i open my eyes again, "see you tonight, jakey," i lean in for a kiss and kiss him one last time before i walk the other way.

just a few hours later i heard something hitting my window. i didn't realise it at first until it happened again and again.

i opened it, letting the small rock hit the ground in my room. "jake! i told you not to come!" i scream whisper when he makes a caught expression.

"sorry, i couldn't wait to see you." he climbs into my room, leaving a kiss on my cheek.

i blush a little when he gasps and i hit his mouth, "not too loud, mom might be here," i whisper and make him sit on my bed.

i sit in front of my mirror again and continue doing my make up. it's not the first time jake climbed into my room, it happened quite often and we almost even got caught climbing out.

"hey, jae. what is better," i hold up two dresses when he raises his brows, "this one, but isn't it too cold?"

i shake my head, placing it on the bed. i take off my top, "i have you to warm me." jake giggles.

while we still kill some time, we hear a knock on the door. jake already gets up to hide when i hold him down and smile.

"come in, dad," i tell him before he appears from behind the door, peaking into the room.

i get up and hug him, while he kisses my crown, "who is this byeol?" he asks surprised to see a scared jake in my bed, i laugh at his face and turn to my dad.

"that's my boyfriend of five months actually. sorry i couldn't tell you sooner," i look down when dad holds it up again, "it's kind of my fault, i couldn't visit," dad pats my head and gives me a warm smile.

he turns to jake and i whisper him his name, "good evening jake, it's nice meeting you. let's catch dinner one day."

jake greets back and i look behind my dad, "she's gone, i brought her back just a few hours ago," i nod and look at him relieved.

"also i wanted to ask you if you could move the date on next time? my friend from china is here and we wanted to catch up," he explains when i nod confidently.

"don't worry, we also wanted to go out tonight," i look at jake, who doesn't look that good. my expressions change a bit as my dad says his goodbyes.

"jae, are you okay," i hold his head when he flashes a smile, "everything good," i shake my head and just let him hug me, "i'm sorry, i shouldn't have."

i hear him sniffle a bit on my shoulder when he shakes his head, "don't worry, star, it is not your fault. i love seeing that," he smiles again. this time his smile seemed more sincere.

i kiss him as he returns it with love, "we should leave," i mumble between the kisses. he nods again, his eyes glowing.

"star," he looks at me to get my attention and i look at him. we lay on the grass, star gazing at the not so lonely night.

"this night is flawless. star, please don't be in love with someone else," his eyes shine as bright as the stars above us.

i slowly nod, "my thoughts only echo your name, jae." i reach for his hand and scoot closer to him. i love you.
