Chapter 123: Where Stardust Lands

Start from the beginning
                                        

Wacha appears last, leaping onto a stool like she's late for a royal press conference.

She glares at all of us. Judging. Dignified. Unimpressed. Perfect.

Jimin eyes the scene. "They celebrated too, huh?"

I scoop Yeontan into my lap and rub his tummy.

"Bam's still vibing. He's pro‑champagne. Wacha threw a marshmallow at Hobi hyung. It was majestic."

He laughs-warm and tingly-and then says, "Okay. I haven't even told you what my phone looks like right now."

"Oh no," I grin. "You got the poetry treatment too?"

Jimin slides his phone out of his hoodie pocket and dramatically scrolls.

"They made a folder, Tae. A folder. Titled: 'Minnie's Meltdown Messages.' Want me to read?"

"Please emotionally destabilize me."

He clears his throat like a talk show host

He clears his throat like a talk show host.

"First up-Y/N noona."

Jimin starts reading the message dramatically.

"My moonlight. I can't even pretend to be cool about this. I watched your video five times, paused to cry twice, then watched again. You and Taehyung created something so intimate and huge, it cracked me open. I love you. Please hydrate."

I gasp. "Moonlight?! She called me the usual Bear Cub! That's not fair!"

"She said I broke her open like an egg," Jimin beams.

"hobi hyung said I was a cinnamon bun teddy bear!"

"He's right. You are."

I pout. "Read the next one."

Jimin scrolls and starts reading hobi hyung's message, and this time even making sure to imitate his voice and squeals as I laugh.

"Hobi hyung says-and I quote-'Jiminieeee! I am dehydrated. How DARE you? That voice? That choreography?? I felt like I was watching my own soul get serenaded. I will be hugging you like a grief-stricken opera singer the moment I see you. Prepare.'"

"Did he say opera singer?" I cackle. "He kissed my cheek and called me a teddy bear five minutes ago!"

"He's nothing if not consistent in chaos."

Jimin then scrolls again to read the one from Jin hyung.

"'Sir. SIR. You cannot just moonlight-dagger your way into our hearts like that and expect us to recover. That final spin?? Emotional violence. You owe me skincare reparations.'"

I gasp again. "He asked me for screen time compensation! He didn't even use the word 'dagger!' This is bias!"

Jimin laughs and continues with Joon hyung's.
