francis forever
for @dambiyn.
3am just hits different. there’s something chaotic about finding yourself there, heading home or to the next place, in the middle or at the end of it. for their part, it’s an early night. hyunjin has things to do tomorrow, so staying up until sunrise isn’t an option.
which isn’t to say that the nights grow dark anymore– they don’t, really. walking home, she can almost trick herself into thinking it’s a late evening. early spring just goes well with anything. maybe they could’ve stayed a little longer too, but what’s done is done. later, she’ll be grateful for having been so steadfast.
and besides, there are more pressing concerns right now. mainly the fact that she doesn’t really feel like going to bed, and some general late night anxiety to go with that restlessness. the idea of sneaking though the hallways with one rather rowdy song dambi isn’t exactly thrilling either.
she mulls over their options for a few minutes, zoned out while keeping pace with dambi.
“you wanna cool off for a few minutes before we go in?” just like old times. sitting out on the haengju lawn on summer nights, comfortably nestled in the shade of the sunflowers, for a breather after or in-between parties is a tried and true method for the two of them.
it’s a little colder now, but not much. and it has been a while, but does that really matter?
“i think i need to, or i literally won’t sleep.” hyunjin shrugs, slowing down as the near the campus entrance. “you’re not cold, right?”
