A silent night,  two shadows climbed over the fence of the unlit space. Embraced by the pitch dark on the rooftop again,  just like the day Beomgyu made his wish.

'Hyung, thanks for accompanying me...' Beomgyu told Soobin, the older smiled in affirmation and rubbed his shoulder, giving him courage.

Eventually, dashes of glitters filled the empty sky, both of them tilted their head, stunned by the magnificent sight of shooting stars. It was an unforgettable scene that Beomgyu really wanted to share with Taehyun.

Their eyes were diverted to the sky, not paying any attention to the little sparkles appeared before them. When Soobin recognized them, he was utterly startled and stepped back. To make sure he wasn't dreaming, he bit harshly on Beomgyu's shoulder, the younger shrieked and hit him back.

The radiance dispersed, revealing some palm-sized creatures with their heads in red, wearing blue body suits with yellow polka dots, a little cape at the back- strange aliens indeed.

These visitors from planet BT collected love around the universe as their main energy source. However, they could not produce love by magic or compel others to fall in love with each other, which was why they travelled in search of love.

According to their prince TATA, Earth was a popular spot for expedition. They always came to Earth secretly, camouflaged by the meteors. They spread in teams to trade with humans, using magic to help them establish their relationships, in return, their true love could contribute to the power system of planet BT.

They made a fair trade with Beomgyu, turning him into a girl within a limited time as he wished. If Taehyun fell in love with him, this team of aliens would reach their annual performance.

'Today is the day, do you remember our trade? The boy has to be here.' One of the aliens approached Beomgyu.

'I am sorry, he can't make it to here...Is there a chance to make another wish? I may not be able to return anything but please help us...' Beomgyu begged them crossing his fingers.

'What do you want?' After all, humans were friends with prince TATA, they also showed their generous side.

'Please heal Kang Taehyun.' Beomgyu stated his wish and explained to them about Taehyun's condition.

'...erm sounds unfeasible to restore those severe damages...only time magic may work in this case...' The aliens frowned, wanted to help as feeling pity for both of them. They cast a magic on Beomgyu, hoping for the bloom of a love tale, instead of a tragedy. The BT aliens were capable of magic but not like omnipotent. It was the best they could offer.

At the end of discussion, Beomgyu thanked the aliens for giving him the most beautiful moments in his life.

Letting go of it was inconceivable yet prerequisite, tears of reluctance raced down his face as he released the unbearable emotions, each droplet carrying an indelible memory of the two.

He started it-

And he should end it himself-

Soobin couldn't let out a word, he just hugged the younger who was sniffling quietly in his arms.

For the next sunrise, things would change-


(Day6 - 'Days gone by' lyrics for this chapter)

The day when we were looking at the sunset
And when I said that I was lucky to find you
It was quite a time ago
Now, the sunset is the beginning of a night

Everything was beautiful
There was no sad day
Now as I look back
It's kinda funny
But there's no regret
Because I loved you, it's cool
From the first day
To the last one

Ah, what happy days
(it was like a dream)
Now though there won't be more
I'm going to leave them in the past

Each moment felt wasted
I hated the time passing
Now as I look back
It's kinda silly
But there's no regret
Because I loved you, it's cool
From the first day
To the last one

Very sometimes I'll miss you (very sometimes)
Actually sometimes (no, often)
Very sometimes (tears will be shed)
Even then, I'll say that I'm okay
Over and over

A decent morning breeze travelled along the window. Curtains made of soft cotton gently moved to the sides so that a warm sunlight could expand through the gap. As the light gleamed on the pure white sheets, the boy had his eyes fluttered a few times before they were entirely opened.

Taehyun yawned as he was stretching out his arms, immediately froze his action as he realized it wasn't his own bedroom. Before his queries were resolved, someone hugged him tightly.

'Beomgyu hyung? Why are you crying? Where am I?' Taehyun asked blankly, checking out the surroundings.

Yeonjun, Soobin and Hueningkai were also there, they rushed out of the room to call the nurses and his parents.

They all waited outside when the medical team checked on him. It took longer than they expected, muffled conversations seeped out through the thick wall. It had been 20 minutes, all the boys got tired and took their seats.

The door finally opened and they all stood up at once anxiously, however the team was bringing Taehyun to another floor for urgent inspections.

After the long inquisition and check-ups, the attending physician came to them, 'We are sorry...'
