[JUNGKOOK]

Jimin had eaten his meal and got up really quickly. Jungkook tried eating up his food quickly too but by the time he was finished Jimin was no where to be seen. He went into the kitchen but he wasn't there. He went to the living room but still no Jimin.

Then he saw Mr. and Mrs. Park sitting together on the front porch. They were hugging and snuggling together under a large blanket. Jungkook smiled and dreamt of himself and Jimin doing the same thing years from now. A future with Jimin by his side was what he wanted.

"Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Park, but do you know where Jimin went?" He asked them politely. "You don't have to be so formal here, Jungkook," Jimin's dad explained. "We're are traditional but we also know when it's time to relax."

He got up and took Jungkook by his shoulders guiding him to look out into the field. "You see that faint light just up yonder? That's where he is. He goes there whenever there's a phenomenon happening in the constellations like an eclipse. Jimin really loves to look at the moon. He says the moon is his peace, his love, his destiny."

Jungkook's heart raced hearing Mr. Park's words. Jungkook thought, 'If I'm Jimin's moon then Jimin is my sun.' He couldn't imagine his life without Jimin. Like Nana said even though they met only a few days ago it already felt like forever. Jungkook's life finally made sense to him now.

He asked Mr. Park, "So he really loves the moon?" Mrs. Park answered, "Oh yes and the stars. From since he was a baby. Whenever he would cry as soon as we put him towards the window to look outdoors, he would calm down. His grandfather named him Jimin which means..." but Jungkook remembered and said it for her while looking up at the stars, "Your wisdom will reach higher than the sky." Mrs. Park smiled, "Yes."

Mr. Park then told him, "Well the moon isn't out tonight but Jimin also goes there to read, relax and reflect. We Park men, as children, would play our fortress war games there. When we became men, we would bring our girlfriends and even propose to them there as well. It's kinda like a family tradition." Mrs. Jimin added, "We have a lot of fond memories there. It is nice. You should go and meet him," she said and gave him a torch light.

Jungkook sighed sadly, "I don't think he would want me there." But Jimin's mom counteracted his thoughts, "Oh that's not true, Honey. Of course he wants you there. I'm sure he's waiting for you to come to him. Go on, it's okay. Just follow the path," and she patted his shoulder to head in Jimin's direction. Jungkook bowed, thanked them and went to meet Jimin.

[JIMIN'S PARENTS]

Jimin's mom, "Oooh this is so sweet." "What is my dear?" Jimin's dad was asking as he sat back down on the chair. He pulled Jimin's mom back into his arms, covered them with the blanket and started kissing her neck. "Our son is finally in love... Awwww," she swooned looking at Jungkook as he made his way on the path.

"Hmmm... that's nice, dear," but Jimin's dad was busy getting cosy and wasn't really listening. She continued talking, "Jungkook is so handsome and it's obvious they're in love," she cooed. "Who's in love, my precious? I know I am," as he continued to get her attention.

Mrs. Park announced to a startled Mr. Park, "Our son and Jungkook of course. They're definitely in love with each other." "Cough-cough.... What did you say?" And she repeated her words a little louder to him, "Jimin and Jungkook are in love! They obviously had some kind of lovers spat but they'll get over that."

Mrs. Park finally got his attention. "Wait so they're together-together?" He asked and she nodded. "Oh, that's why Jimin was so quiet at dinner... and they really were looking at each other throughout. Oh man! How could I be so daft?" Mrs. Park hugged him and whispered, "That's cause you were only looking at me," and she giggled and kissed him. He warmly welcomed her embrace. Then lifting his head up, he looked at the light at the fortress, "Jimin and Jungkook.... 'JIKOOK' .... I like it," and he bent his head to kiss his wife again.

[JUNGKOOK]

Jungkook walked slowly along the path at first but then found himself trotting, then finally running. He liked running, it also relaxed him. He loved feeling the breeze blowing through his hair and that sudden rush of excitement. Jungkook thought of Jimin. Loving him was kinda like running: fresh and exciting.

He saw as the lights came closer. He slowed down and began walking again as he reached nearer to the fortress. It was really large for a boy but suitable for a man. Its wooden structure was solid and it looked like Jimin had recently given it a coat of varnish. It looked somewhat new although he guessed the Old Betsy was probably clocking some good old age.

Jimin was lying on a beach chair and listening to music from his phone. Jungkook walked up towards him quietly and sat down on the soft ground close behind him. Jimin was looking at a constellation map and he began to talk to himself, "Hmmm.... So where are you tonight my beautiful moon?" "I'm right here," Jungkook replied causing Jimin to almost fall off the chair.

"Oh my God. You frightened me." Jimin steadied himself then asked, "Why are you here?" Jungkook looked up at the sky and answered, "Your mom and dad told me where you were and said..." "No!" Jimin said firmly and continued in the same tone, "Why are you here in Busan? Didn't you say that you had enough and you were done with me?"

Jungkook could feel the hurt in Jimin's voice as he repeated the words Jungkook spoke to him in the conference room. He could see the hurt in Jimin's eyes. Then Jimin looked down at the mess he made on his clothes and on the chair as the soft drink flew from his hands when Jungkook startled him. Jungkook immediately took off his t-shirt and went to clean up the spill.
