                               On a warm yet cool summer night, where cool air passing through person to person. A young man in his 20s, wearing a black hoodie and black jeans, casually runs his hands through his black hair while listening to his favorite song, 'Lost Stars', as it's a usual thing for him to do at night. He went directly to a cafe known as "Begin". There, he sat near the window, where he could watch the sky and, most importantly, the stars clearly. so that he could converse with the tiny bundle of lights in the sky. The cafe is small yet cozy, decorated with soft lights and an interior that feels like home. Outside, the cafe is surrounded by small pink and blue blooms, along with purple hanging flowers whose faint fragrance fills the cafe beautifully. The young man looks up at the two stars in the sky, which seem inseparable, reminding him of 'someone'. As the lyrics say...

"But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
Who are we? just a speck of dust within the galaxy?"

                     He sat there, mesmerized by the lyrics and melody, while caressing a beautiful tiny blue star pendant with a shining silver chain clenched in his hands, as if his life depended on it - maybe it did. The tiny blue star shone beautifully under the moonlight passing through the window glass. It was as if both he and the tiny star had lost their own stars, trying to illuminate a world that once was more than beautiful but now was all darkness. The tiny blue star shone as brightly as it could, as if trying to reduce the sorrow in his heart. Well, eventually, the sparkles of the blue star slowly diminished the sorrow of that man, not entirely, but just a little. If only he could go back in time and change everything, but it's impossible. He deserves every bit of loneliness he earns, or so he thinks. And the lyrics go...

"Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow~♪
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer~♪⁠♪"

           He finds peace here while gazing at the shining stars, which seem to be mocking him, reminding him of what he's lost, and recalling memories he'll cherish forever. The stars remind him of him, and his mind starts revolving around him again. Is he doing alright? Does he remember him? He regrets everything, as the lyrics speak again...

"Turn the page maybe we'll find a brand new ending~♪
Where we're dancing in our tears and
God, tell us a reason yout-"

            His thoughts and song are interrupted by a beep sound from his phone, indicating that someone has texted him; it's none other than "Tae🐻", his partner in crime and best friend since middle school.

Tae🐻:
Hey Jungkook! Are you ready for tomorrow?

kook🐰:
What's tomorrow?

Tae🐻:
Dude, don't tell me you forgot! We're welcoming our freshers tomorrow! How could you forget?

               Jungkook smiled, amused by Tae's dramatics. Of course, they had to greet and welcome their juniors, make them feel comfortable in their college, and ensure a smooth transition - after all, ragging was strictly prohibited in their institution.

Koo🐰:
Don't worry,tae I'll be sharp at morning.

Tae🐻:
Great,get some rest then! Goodnight!,see you bright and early tomorrow.

         Jungkook closed the texting app, checked the time, which displayed 10 pm on the screen, and sighed. He chose to head home for the night but not before gazing up at the star-filled night sky. But, then his eyes were drawn to the two inseparable stars that shone brightly together in the darkness of night. He tucked his own small blue star into his pocket and jogged out of the cafe, heading home.

                  He punches in his password on the apartment's access control panel as he enters his apartment, then switches on the light, only to encounter a pile of clothes and pieces of paper, that were crumpled, while some papers were inked with melodies and lyrics, scattered everywhere in the hall. He sighed at the sight before him as he collected the inked papers, carefully keeping them together with paperclips. As he made his way to his bedroom, he found his bed filled with papers, yet again. However, this time, they were adorned with multiple portraits of a boy with an enchanting crescent moon smile. He gazed at the sketch, lost in thought, and carefully gathered the paper portraits, placing them in his bedside table drawer. As he stared at the tiny photo frame, placed beside a vase that had no flowers in it to adorn, the picture inside stole his attention - two boys enveloped by a sea of sky-blue forget-me-not flowers, grinning from ear to ear, they showed galaxies in their twinkling eyes, as if they owned the whole world. He smiled softly gazing at the photo frame as if he just remembered the story behind the photo. Then, he collapsed into his bed, exhausted, finding a comfortable position to sleep, he wondered what tomorrow held for him; then, he slowly faded into sleep. While the moonlight passed through the delicate curtain, its soft light captured the small photo frame, making it shimmer under the moon's gentle glow.

     But,Little did he know, he was soon to meet his star...
