IM FAMILY SHEEP FARM
VENDREDI 20:02
Cold breeze. Warm bonfire. Sparkling fireflies. Nayeon and Tzuyu shared the night silently: watching fireflies glowing around the tree.
The atmosphere is great but Nayeon did not want to stay mute. They were silent ever since after meal. She went on: "Did you know that when fireflies become adult they only live for weeks?"
Tzuyu looked at her. "That short?"
Nayeon nodded. "Larvae lives one to two years, but when they become adult, their lifespan is that short."
Tzuyu shifted her attention to the fireflies. "How can such a beautiful creature live so poorly?"
"That is life for them..." Nayeon said in a depressing tone, eyes on the fireflies. "I like fireflies since I was a kid... I found them fascinating as they glow in the dark. I once pet them. Put them in the jar. But as a clueless kid, they died after three days."
Tzuyu looked at her side profile. She did not speak, just wanted the older to continue and admire her view.
"I hated myself for killing innocent's freedom to live... Since that day, I never wanted people controlling someone else's life." She turned her head at the younger. "I can't stand seeing someone who can't fly freely because someone is holding them back."
Tzuyu stared with admire. The way Nayeon said it, and the way her eyes look at her. Everything about Nayeon at this moment, Tzuyu found it admirable.
"I don't want you to be like those fireflies, Tzuyu..." Their eyes studying one another: one shows concern, one shows admire. "I hate seeing people I care for, not having the life they wanted."
The cold breeze caressed their skin as it passes through. The atmosphere between them suddenly changed. It became warmer.
"Be my friend," Nayeon extended her hand for a handshake. "I will be the darkness... Who will keep you glowing."
Tzuyu was hesitating in her head, but her hand take Nayeon's hand without taking her eyes off her. There is always a condition in every grant, hence she asked: "In exchange?"
Nayeon bunny-smiled. "Just be the light of my life."
Tzuyu wholeheartedly acknowledged the generosity, yet she wanted to tease a bit. "You are just trying to flirt with me, right?" She said with a straight face.
Nayeon choked on air from the sudden attack. "What do you think of me? I'm not trying to flirt. I'm serious right now, Tzuyu."
The defensive respond made Tzuyu smiled. "I know. I can tell if someone is being sincere. Thanks for the generosity, Sunbae. But I might fail your expectation. The path I am bond to take, it's too dark, a firefly's light is pointless."
