It was the perfect place to talk alone with him. Under the shade staring at the clouds, laying on the soft bed of greeny grass beneath our bodies. The small wildflowers blossomed here and there and waved in joy with the touch of the breeze tickling them. The young fragile flowers stood up manfully against the gravity pulling them back. Fragile yet so brave they were, the lavender colour petals slowly danced with the alluring environment set. It was past noon, the sky wasn't shaded yet.

So tranquil.

So soothing.

Being one of my favourite people lying beside me made the feeling thousands of times better than it already was.

We sat there for minutes, no hours.

Just me and him. Between us it was silent but from inside we weren't silent at all.

Two souls were entangled in love deeply with each other without even realising.

Jungkook black doe eyes shot his glances to the light blue sky. His orbs glimmered as he kept a watch of Mother Nature's beauty.

"Jungkook?" I talked to him in a quiet voice, trying not to agitate the peaceful background.

"Hmm?" He hummed, more in a musical rhythm. Humming as a reply, he turned his ravishing gaze at me. 

That look in his eyes.

It didn't fail to flutter my heart every time I fell under his gaze.

It was so addictive.

"What does romance mean to you?" He paused to think for a moment, setting his gaze again at the sky.

"Well, I think romance lingering between two fates that cross their paths through their journey. But with the blend of faith and loyalty in that relationship between the two parties. Romance would mean giving hope, trusting and relying on each other" his words flowed so beautifully coordinated,  creatively including his idea in it.

"That's so highly detailed and advanced saying about romance if you would ask me" I chuckled at him. He snorted as I said.

"Miss Park, how would you answer that question then hmm?" He crossed his arms in front of his chest and cocked an eyebrow at me.

"Simple, I would call romance as love"

"Just love? "

"Love with passion," he got into thinking again about what I said.

"I like that more than just calling it passion. I rather die than live without a passion anyway."

He said while plucking a wild flower near him. A small tiny purple flower and changed his position to a sitting position. I followed him crossed my legs and sat down on the ground.

"Mr Jeon you are so deep and mysterious" he lightly laughed at my comment. 

"Why would you say so Y/n?" When he called my name like that I always felt that jittery feeling of satisfaction.

I felt like I was his.

His and only his.

What am I even thinking?

Times like that caused me to mentally slap across my cheeks and pinch myself for real.

"I just feel like that. You are like the ocean deep, mysterious but..." I almost said the word 'beautiful' in front of him. Thank you sweet Jesus for saving me from that embarrassment in front of him.

"The ocean?" I nodded as he shifted his gaze to the ocean that slowly started reflecting the evening sky.

"Do you like the ocean?" He inquired about me.

"I love it!" I enthusiastically replied but after seeing the sly smile of satisfaction curving the raven-haired man's lips I realized that he just caught my thoughts by my words.

Sly bunny.

"Uhm" I cleared my throat, " I mean I like the ocean" I heard him chuckling at my silly behaviour trying to cover up my embarrassment.

"I think you are like the sky" he abruptly said, setting me in astonishment. I turned at him with widened eyes.

"Like the evening sky, look, it has so many shades. Like that, I feel that you have many shades, many colours that you don't show the world " As he said I was submerged in deep thoughts.

Isn't he telling the truth? I'm complex, my life isn't stable, and it's prone to change time.

"I never put my thoughts like that," I said.

"I love the shades of the sky" My breath hitched the moment he said that. Is he...I must be just kidding myself.

I gulped the lump that I felt that obstructing my throat.

"There are things you should know about me Jungkook," I said heaving a sigh with a heavy heart.

I didn't know how he would take these things but before it was too late I decided to let him know the truth about me and my real identity.  I was scared of course, about how Jungkook will react and all. After all, he had full authority to hand me over to the police if he wished to for the protection of the passengers.

But I couldn't hide the truth from him.

"I'm all ears for you Y/n, I would like to see your shades as well..."

That's how the path to revealing my story to the stranger who saved my life in the RMS Titanic paved the way.

That evening my every secret was unlocked by him.

Starting from where I had to move to the USA to the point where I had to hide in his ship, I explained everything without a dust of doubt remaining in the air.

I could say he was a little shocked by the story I had to reveal to him. But what made him shocked was not the fact I was a rebel, it was the part about how I escaped the remaining Gambino brother and saved myself just by an inch from getting killed.

"So what happened to Yeonjun after that?" He asked in a  concerned manner. I shook my head.

"I couldn't trace him back or contact him again after that day. Even he doesn't know the fact that I lived up to this day"

I closed my eyes, feeling the squinching pain inside me with the memories I recalled. The pain made my eyes sore up from tears but I tried to hold it back.

That feeling that I was all alone.

I felt a warm hand caressing my back, lending me a company of comfort.  Slowly my teary eyes were turning into a flood a river of salty tears as I completely cracked.

"I feel that I'm all alone, I feel so lost" I bit my lower lip to control the sob I was about to let out, but my voice was broken, clearly I was too.

"Y/n, I know that feeling of feeling lost and hopeless believe me." He gently grabbed my chin and turned to my sober face to him. 

"But think of it Y/n, you made it this far, you still managed to live. Isn't that Yeonjun and your brother Jimin would wanted for you?" His deep stares dug through my soul with a convincing gaze.

"What matters is that you are alive now"

His arms suddenly wrapped around me and squeezed into a tight hug. It was so sudden and unexpected that it took me a few solid seconds to understand what he just did. I breathed heavily, laying my head on his hard chest, feeling the warmth of his embrace.

"Let the time heal your wounds Y/n, Don't let either the past or future hurt you. Just live within this time " his smooth words brushed my ears, and his hand continuously caressed me to make me comfortable.

"I'm sorry I broke down like this" I apologized after a few minutes, after I got hold of myself again. He slowly loosened his hug, letting me go. I sniffed and swept off my wet cheeks.

"You don't have to be sorry," he stood up and outstretched his hand and pulled me up. "Do you feel better than before?"

I exhaled sharply and nodded, forming my thin lips to a smile of gratitude.

"Well actually, I do kinda feel like I let out the burden" I took a moment to grasp the time by seeing the environment. It was already getting dark.

"Shouldn't we head back to the ship Jungkook?" He smiled and shook his head in denial.

"You forgot the fireworks show? Let's watch it from here"

The firework show, I remembered how Captain Smith announced the fireworks show arranged to celebrate the first trial of Titanic.

We both walked a little further, leaving the tree we sat under before. We sat in a place where the sky was visible. Jungkook checked his watch, especially when the time was almost seven We both were excited to enjoy the grand firework show. 

" The ocean and sky go together," Jungkook said, motioning his head towards the view ahead of us. His words set my heart on fire, making my heart race a million miles per hour.

The fireworks started to display. I
It was pretty much like it was the fourth of July. The sky was lit with colourful fireworks, just like my heart felt right at that moment. The dark ocean reflected the red and pink illuminations ruling the sky.

"They truly look beautiful together" I admitted.

That's when our eyes met each other, holding a fire inside our eyes.

Just like the fourth of July.

He appeared like fireworks in my life, so colourful and beautiful.

He tilted his head towards me as he was seeking permission to taste my lips. As he got closer, I felt like my heart was attempting to leave the rib cage that kept it in place. His hand snaked into my back, closing the space between us and shortening the distance. I kept staring at his black orbs, unable to break the addictive gaze he held. He stared at my eyes for a moment before tracing it down to my lips. Caressing one of my cheeks, he gently but passionately closed the space between our lips.

My breath held for a moment as we kissed.

My eyes closed as he kept looking for the sweetness of my lips. My lips parted, giving him permission for a deeper kiss. My hands snaked around his neck, pulling him closer to me.


"Jungkook," I whispered as we broke the kiss. I mumbled under my breath. He slid his hand to mine and enfolded my palm. I looked up at him.

His eyes were filled with love.

That read pure love.

"Hmm," he hummed.

"There's no turning back if I start" his hand moved one of my bangs away and stroked my head.

"I'm well aware of that y/n, and I don't want you to turn back either" With that, his lips again crashed with mine. My hands cupped his face tasting every amount of his sweet lips that explores me.

While the fireworks still lit up in the sky, it came the time that we started a journey that they could never turn back again.

That night,

We realized that truly the sky and ocean are meant to be together
