can you imagine how things
would have been

" jae look the stars are coming towards us ", yoohyeon gazed up at the sky, fingers grabbing at thin air. jaehyun's eyes that were drooping blinked open to look at her. a smile grew on his face looking at her now run around with arms spread open. he started laughing as he ran next to her. both of them had attended a party hosted by one of yoohyeon's friends, drinking until both of them decided to retire for the night.

jaehyun's mind wandered back to her during the party, her dancing which she claimed to be horrible, the moment they had when both of them had drunk so much their hands were everywhere. thinking of it made his cheeks turn red again. he was slowly turning sober with the night wind against his face.

yoohyeon pulled him to lay down next to her. hands still in his as she looked up at the sky. he inched closer to her, shoulders now touching. the heat of their bodies radiating off each other like a warm blanket. " why are you so good to me jaehyun? ". her voice came out all sad and desperate, different from what jaehyun had in mind.

" because i want to ", he turned to look at her, pushing hair that was stuck to her face away, his hand resting on her cheek instead. her eyes looked for something in him, brushing a hand through his hair, a frown creeping its way onto her face.

" and because i like you alot, hyeon. i like you so much i want to kiss you right now. right here, under the stars ". he moved closer to her, chests now against each other, rising and falling at the same pace. it felt like the world had stopped the minute he let those words out. the words hung in the air as questions filled jaehyun's head a second after he had said it.

yoohyeon leaned in to him, her slow exhalations that fanned his mouth. closing the space between them and their lips, right below the stars that had started to spin in bliss. a kiss that had made them want more and more soon stopped when they had to catch their breath. yoohyeon's head now laid on jaehyun's chest. her lipstick stains on his lips while their hands were clasped together. below the stars that had started to rain down on them.

the universe was wide and huge,
beyond imagination,
my universe was coffee scented,
and it the midst of it all stood you,
the cute barista
