*Beep Beep Beep*
The sound of Yuni's alarm could even be heard from kitchen, but Yuni didn't seem to be bothered by it at all. After waiting more for a couple of minutes, Yuni's mom was standing beside the bed giving the usual earful greeting to her one and only daughter in the morning as waking up to the alarm was never her thing. Both of her parents knew how much Yuni loved staring at the night sky everyday which made her stay up till late nights. Luckily, they lived in the highest floor and as no one else visited the rooftop, Yuni didn't have any trouble going there daily.
After having her usual morning routine and breakfast, Yuni was on her way to the college when she spotted the unfamiliar guy who walked few steps ahead of her, wearing the same uniform as her. However, before she could even read the nameplate on his sweater, he took a turn to the school office room. 'Must be a newly transferred student', she thought to herself and continued walking towards her classroom.
She barely made it before being too late else she'd have to walk around the classroom looking for an empty seat since the first period is always crowded. Just then the homeroom teacher,Mr.Kenji walked in,with the usual pile of books in his hands and signaled to someone standing near the door to step in.
Unexpectedly, the guy who was standing in front of the whole class right now was none other than that unfamiliar guy who Yuni saw earlier. A strange feeling rushed within Yuni at the moment she saw the new student and as if they had telepathy, after running his eyes throughout the classroom, they met Yunis'. The whole classroom was staring at this mesmerizing person who just arrived igniting sparks of attraction until the teacher asked him to introduce himself to the class.
"Hello everyone! Um...I'm Kim Taehyung and I hope we can get along well"
Yuni was lost in her own world that she didn't even notice the new handsome guy who came to sit beside her till he asked whether the seat wasn't taken by someone else. She didn't accept it first, but soon she realized that she won't be concentrating on the lesson while having such a distraction next to her.
Taehyung was charismatic, and he somewhat looked matured until that boxy smile took over his face making him look like a five year old kid who's excited to have candies. His dark brown strands of hair covered the thick and beautiful brows he owned and the mono-lid and double eye-lid made the perfect combo for his appearance. The couple of moles which decorated his soft and smooth delicate skin along with the eye-catching jaw line he possessed altogether didn't let Yuni's sight to leave his figure off her mind.
Taehyung was also enrolled for the same classes which Yuni attended and though they didn't talk with each other yet,he has been sitting next to her for all the classes throughout the day. However, Yuni has never been interested in guys and the main reason was she got afraid to get close to another person after she lost the person she treasured the most, her best friend during high school. So it was a total new experience to her that she got interested in this new guy suddenly.
*Time Skip*
Yuni was sitting on the bench of the rooftop,where she spent most of the nights observing the night sky. It didn't take long for her to notice the oddness of the sky today,something was missing,something which she enjoyed seeing everyday.
Deneb!
The constellation she loved the most was missing. It has been her favourite since the day she learnt about the summer triangle. She blinked a few times and squirmed her eyes to get a much better view at the stars.
"You seem worried"
She knew to whom that voice belonged to, Kim Taehyung, the new guy who joined her own school just this morning has been running through her mind since the moment she saw him on the road earlier. She thought it was her mind playing tricks,because there's no way he could have followed her from school and most importantly,it's almost past midnight. Just to confirm her assumption she turned around and then only she saw...

"Tae"
She didn't know where that nickname came from,it just flipped from her tongue.
"Ummm hi! You look startled, sorry if it's because of me"
"Oh,it's okay...but,"
She was about to ask from where on earth he came this time,but was cut off...
"Do you like watching the night sky? Judging by how you are staying outside at this late hour,I suppose so"
"You got me right. But the problem is,........................... my favourite is missing, so I was looking for it before you come here."
'So it was true,somehow I happened to be your favourite out of all the stars then', he murmered.
"What?" Yuni couldn't clearly hear what the guy was whispering to himself.
"Nah,nothing. So what's your favourite one then?"
"Deneb...that should be there next to altair,the bright star shinning over there next to the milky way. The milky way has been crossing the path of Altair and Vega,other bright star you can see there. Many only notice the other two stars,except for Deneb. It's said that they two were separated by Vega's father for loving each other and people feel bad since they can meet only once a year. However, I feel bad for Deneb, he has been staying there over years all by himself, he might have felt lonely all this time as no one ever noticed him."
Taehyung was staring at this cute girl sitting beside him, who kept on speaking about the summer triangle and the story behind it. He knew it all, afterall it was his story, but she didn't know that and he decided to listen to this story Yuni was saying so excitedly.
On the other side,Yuni was starting to feel the mysterious aura beside her and then only she noticed the sign of summer triangle marked on the wrist of Taehyung's hand.
"Taehyung,can I please know who exactly are you?"
"Well,actually I know it may sound absurd,but....I'm Deneb. I loved this name so I wanted to introduce myself to humans in that name."
He explained everything from the beginning to Yuni,how he has been observing people since years and how everyone kept on talking about the moon,milky way,Vega and Altair but never about him. How Yuni was the first person to notice his existence and how all of them made it possible for him to be reborn as a human. Yuni was uncertain at first, but after listening to the full story,it all made sense. However, she couldn't stop herself from asking one more question from him...
"So Tae, I mean Deneb...what happens to the star above? Won't we be able to see Summer Triangle again?"
