Chapter 123: Where Stardust Lands

Start from the beginning
                                        

Someone (me) is crying again.

Bam and Yeontan weave between legs.

Wacha escapes to the fridge, glaring.

"We saw the message thread," Jin hyung says, buttering a croissant. "I wrote mine with a candle and classical music."

"I lit incense," Joon hyung adds.

"I had caffeine and rage," Yoongi hyung mutters.

"I danced shirtless in the hallway," Hobi hyung sings.

"I'm still emotionally compromised!" Kook yells, tackling Jimin onto the couch.

We collapse into a tangle of limbs, laughter, and love.

Someone kisses my cheek. I squeeze Jimin's hand. Pets bark. Toast burns.

And through all the glitter and giggles and bagels,

This is it.
This is what we made.
And it is everything.

The days after blur into something golden.

They spill like honey-slow, sweet, and sticky with memory.

One morning, I wake to the sound of someone giggling through the wall.

Jungkook. Probably editing clips from his Twitch stream where he cried-again-over our video.

His "galactic wrist twirl" (Yes he nagged me into teaching him that) has already become a meme. I scroll past a GIF of it paired with, "When you emotionally destroy your enemies and serve interstellar drama."

It's art. Modern culture.
Kook would be proud.

By afternoon, he's in the lounge with Hobi hyung, arguing the structural integrity of their seventh pillow during fort construction.

Hobi hyung's face is a blend of "I love you" and "why do I put up with this?" but he's laughing anyway, because Kookie's wearing a cape made from one of Jin hyung's aprons and declaring himself "Lord of Galaxy Pillowdom."

Wacha claims the top of the fortress like it's her throne. Tannie joins with noble duty, trotting in like a prince. Bam sprawls beneath like a noble knight, guarding the realm with sleepy grace.

The next day, Jin hyung and Namjoon hyung are in the kitchen, elbows brushing, deeply locked in a debate over legal choices for Speak Yourself foundation's next project.

Joon hyung keeps poking Jin hyung's side mid-sentence, and Jin hyung just retaliates by stealing sips from Joon hyung's mug while pretending to be scandalized

Y/N noona passes through the kitchen, smirks, grabs a marshmallow from the snack jar, and drops it into Joon hyung's tea without breaking eye contact.

"For sweetness," she says, before kissing his nose and sliding out again like a legend.
