"So you didn't even remember me?"

He shakes his head. "Then, when you dropped down, I felt my heart start a bit. I felt like I recognized you, but couldn't quite put my finger on it." He finally brings his eyes up to meet yours. "When you started talking, it was like all at once, everything come back. I broke free of the spell. You saved me, Y/N."

You give him a nudge. "And I would do it again in a heartbeat. I'm glad to have you back. When the Belt first came, for a few seconds I really thought I'd never see you again."

The two of you fall into a short silence, then he nods. "I was terrified too." You smile, and so does he. You stay like that for a few moments before letting out a loud yawn. He chuckles. "It's been a long day, and it's late. You should sleep."

You furrow your brows. "What about you?"

"Don't worry about me, I'm sure I'll sleep eventually."

"Kook..."

He lets out a long breath. "I'll at least try, how about that?"

You reach up and ruffle his hair. "Works for me." He fakes a pout at your actions as you stand and trot over to the corner of the cave. You're not too far away from the fire, but far enough that the smoke doesn't bother you. "Goodnight, Jungkook," you say, kneeling, then fully lying down on the rough terrain. He grins, giving you a nod.

"Goodnight, Y/N."

~22:57~

Jimin watches as Yoongi tries to use his long distance comm, but it's no use. They're standing not too far away from the ship, their armor completely shattered off their body. If it wasn't for the armor, neither of them would be alive. The only problem is that their comms got destroyed as well. That certainly makes things difficult.

"You don't suppose there's any payphones around, do you?" Jimin jokes.

Yoongi stares at him in confusion. "A payphone?"

Jimin's smile falters. "Yeah, you know, like the ones seen in those ancient movies?" Yoongi blinks at his Captain, which causes Jimin to sigh and drop it. "Never mind. Do you have any idea where we are?"

"Ganymede."

"No shit, Sherlock. I meant are there any towns around? Any people?"

Yoongi only seems more confused. "Sherlock?"

"Okay, you and I are having a movie marathon when we get back. Until then, we need to focus on finding somewhere to lay low."

Yoongi shrugs, not questioning it. Jimin glances around, seeing the large, empty terrain all around them. Ganymede is worse than Y/N described it. His heart hurts at the thought of her, but he pushes it down to instead focus. He can mourn later. Right now, he needs to get himself and Yoongi to safety. It's what she would've wanted. The thought makes him stiffen, and vomit threatens to spew free from his parched lips.

"You okay?" Yoongi asks.

Jimin kneels, placing one hand on his chest and the other on the ground. His fingernails dig into the hard, gray surface. He can't help but look up at the "sky." His eyes buldge. Jupiter stares back at him, the vastness of space awaiting him. Jimin trembles. Ganymede really is terrifying.

"She's gone," he whispers, the reality crushing his heart.

"We don't know that."

"She didn't check in, her and Jungkook are mysteriously missing, there was her blood and her comm near a large dent. What am I supposed to think?"
