Gratefulness~ pt.4

I'm browsing on my phone and checking social media apps. Sara seems to have used Snapchat druing her whole trip from Finland to the concert venue. From her story, I can find photos from the airport, a video recroded in the airplane, photos from the hotel she's staying in and a video of her showing off her outfit of the evening... What did I do wrong this time?

Ji Yong is one of the first people who walk out of the doors and he sneaks behind my back without me noticing it.
"Oh!" I startle and laugh afterwards.
"Snapchat?" Ji looks over my shoulder and smiles by himself.
"Do you have Snapchat?" I wonder how he knows about it.
"No but Seungri has. He sends pictures to all these girls," he utters a silent laughter and I laugh too. That player...
"Wanna take a snap?" he looks at me and I nod happily after he kisses my cheek. Ji sits beside me on the stairs and throws his backpack on the floor. I lean to his direction shyly because it's weird to take a picture of us two together and I don't know what kind of a picture he meant but then he suddenly grabs me and squeezes his arms around me, presses his cheek against mine. I can't help smiling overly excited and take the picture. I look at him with a wide smile and he smiles back. He just makes me so, so happy.
"Aww, that was a good one," I say, download it and then add it to MyStory. Ji stands up and asks if I need a ride, just like he knew what I was thinking of.

"It was a good night," Ji smiles happily as he speeds along the wet road with his awesome car. I must say that it would be pretty nice to drive this kind of toy.
"It really was, and you did well," I look at him.
"Did you see Sara?" he asks.
"Yeah," I answer silently. "But she was busy."
"Busy? ...Okay."
He heads to the dormitory.
"Umm," I mutter. "Could I sleep with you tonight?" I ask because I feel a bit down because of meeting with Sara and I really would like to feel loved. And Ji Yong's warm hug would help. And then we drive past the dormitory and I know that he said yes. I smile by myself.
"Komawo."

It's already over midnight. I yawn as I step inside the chilly apartment before Ji. He kicks the shoes off and walks to kitchen to make us tea.
"Do you want a drink? Like tequila or...?" I hear him asking and going through his shelves. I sit down on the comfortable and familiar sofa near the window and lean my head down. I could fall asleep right there.
"No. Tea is fine," I answer him silently but in the spacious apartment my voice echoes to the kitchen well. I yawn again and look into the darkness. Somewhere near YG papa lives as his neighbour, I recall.
Ji comes to me with mugs in his hands and sits on the opposite side of me. He has taken off all his heavy jewellery and brushed his hair too. He looks like a dream. A dream I would wish to be true. I just sometimes don't remember that this is the reality.
He blows the hot water a couple of times before handing it to me.
"Be careful," he adds and turns to look outside of the window too. I'm warming my hands around the hot mug. It's nice and peaceful.
"Can you see that star? That one," Ji points at the star that's shining brightly in the middle of three other stars. I look at the asterism for long and then look at Ji Yong. Does he know something about stars too? I realise that I don't know what else he's into except music.
"Yes, I do," I answer and it sounds like a whisper. I lean on my elbow.
"It's you," he says, staring at it.
"Me?"
"Yeah," he smiles at me. "Just as pretty as you."
I can feel my cheeks turning red. Why does he have to constantly make me blush? I sip the lemon tea and a warm wave goes through my body.
And the three surrounding you," he points at the sky. "Are love, lust and darkness."
"Why darkness?" I ask out of curiousity.
"Because," he drinks his tea. "Without darkness there wouldn't be love. And without lust there wouldn't be darkness."
I don't know if he has read this from a book... But it doesn't matter. It sounds beautiful. It's like a nice lullaby.
"Tell me more."
"You can't know what love feels like if you don't know what it is like to be in the darkness. And if you let the lust take you over, you will end up in darkness. But in the end, love will always save you."
"Sounds... Safe," I just smile at him and move the mug in my hands that are not that cold anymore. Ji turns to look at me again with warmth in his eyes. This is what love looks like, I think to myself.
"Maybe I should buy it for you."
"Ah, Ji Yonga," I smirk. "Money can't buy you love~," I hum Se7en's song and laugh. Ji grins by himself.
"And I can't buy you anything like this, so it would be unfair," I add.
"Yet," Ji adds and looks back at the stars. "And it doesn't matter. I can buy everything I want by myself."
"It's not the same... But fair," I laugh it off.
"You still bought me something," Ji looks at the bookshelf. There's the teddy I bought him from the airport.
"Ooh, that one," I notice it.
"Do you still have the one I gave to you?" he asks.
"You mean the necklace? Of course I have," I show it to him and finish the tea.
"No, the teddy bear," Ji smiles mysteriously and looks at my confused expression.
"Teddy..." I frown and try to understand what he's meaning. Then I get it.
"Was that...?" I look at him with my mouth open. "Did you buy me the one I found in my hotel room?"
Ji Yong nods a little and a happy smirk spreads on his face.
"Nooo," I gasp. I could have never actually believed it was from him.
"Didn't you see the little G?" Ji leans towards me and draws a letter G with his finger on my arm. I giggle like a little girl and nod.
"Wow," I'm so amazed. "How did you knew I was coming...?"
"We read all the names on the tickets to see if yours was there," he gets closer to me, holds my hands.
"You did?" I can't believe it. He really was waiting for me to come after the six months apart, out of all the girls he must have met during that time.
"Me and Daesung and Seungri," he laughs at himself, how stupid it was not that he says it. I just shake my head from side to side.
"You're unbelievable. And I feel like such an amateur. I can't do all this romantic stuff..."
Ji Yong laughs loudly and then smiles at me with his eyes filled with happiness. I pout.
"That's why you have me."
"True," I smirk.

Notes

The marathon didn't really work out but I'll try to post whenever I can so that I can then concentrate on the 5th part.
