I drew him in my world.

I draw him all the time, but I don't know where to draw the line.

- Lang Leav, Lullabies

Aurora didn't want to know how much it affected him. Jungkook sat on the couch as he watched Aurora sit near the window. Her eyes were focused on the rain again and he wondered what she was thinking. The gun he was holding earlier laid on the floor and he didn't want to touch it for the moment. He didn't want to be associated with that thing yet, as he swore to himself to not ever point a gun on someone he loved or cared about. He didn't want to be that kind of monster, although the voice in the back of his head was already telling him he was. At least, that was how his victim's last words sounded like most of the time.

Aurora laid the back of her head against the wall and flickered her eyes over Jungkook. She was staring at him until their eyes crossed and she gave him a little smile. But Jungkook noticed that it didn't reach her eyes.

Was she trying to convey an emotion without needing words? Did she want Jungkook to understand her inner thoughts and emotions just by the look of her eyes and the fake smile on her lips?

Jungkook stayed silent and waited for her
