this isn’t the first time they’ve done something like this. 2am hangouts have always been a staple of their relationship, though each one ends up going a little differently. rather than sitting up giggling at movies or old cartoons, luna and jinri have ended up in jinri’s room, the soft light of her lamp illuminating them as they sit in comfortable companionship after so many years together.
right now the only sound comes from jinri’s phone, playing a gentle lo-fi beat from a live station she found on youtube. the device itself is lying next to her, while she holds one of her throw pillows in her lap and picks at a loose thread on it. luna is sprawled out somewhere closer to the end of her bed, but the silence reigns between them for now, the quiet music managing to fill the spaces in the room.
jinri breaks it suddenly, but not shockingly. that’s just how these nights go -- they’re both lost in their own thoughts, and then they may share it with each other, knowing that any topic is open for discussion.
“i keep thinking about the royal show,” she says, fingernails picking at the loosening embroidery on the pillow. “i wouldn’t have done it without you. i think i knew that the whole time i was considering it. is that weird? i feel like i should have made the decision for myself, not because of whatever you were doing, you know?”
