|To the Moon and Back| ☆M.Y.G☆

"It looks like you two have gotten close." I commented to the both of them who are currently having a fun time talking over our dinner.

Hoseok laughed, "I guess you can say that."

"Oh, by the way hyung. What are you guys planning? How can she go back to her own time?" Hoseok asks candidly.

"First, we don't exactly know yet how she ended up here. I'm guessing that she can go back the way she got in." Thinking about it, I haven't really asked her much about it. "Did you do something peculiar just before you got here?"

"The last thing I remeber doing is sleeping in there." She pointed at the house's pillar where I found her. "That's why when you found me I thought that I was still in my house."

"Maybe there's a portal or something here." Hoseok looked around the house seemingly being wary of his surroundings.

"I don't know." A-Ra looked down with sad eyes.

"Did you wish for something, maybe?" I was trying to give out suggestions that could be plausible.

A-Ra raised her head, wide-eyed. "Yes!"

I was surprised at our little breakthrough, "Really? Then what did you wish for?"

"I... uh... wanted to be free."

"...Because you don't want to get married?" A-Ra nodded to my question. I did not ask anymore since I might make her feel uncomfortable but she continued.

"I would like to live my life as a person and not just someone's wife. I know that the moment that I'll be married, I'll be expected to fulfill my duties as a wife first. I know its selfish -"

"Its not selfish. Thinking about your happiness too is not selfish." I cut her off.

Everybody was silent. It was only the whistling of leaves that can be heard. Slowly I became embarrased. I didn't mean to make it awkward.

"Hyung."

I know what Hoseok meant with that sympathetic tone.

Is it really over now? Did I finally accepted it?

"Thank you Yoongi for letting me know that its okay for me to think that way... at least in this time its possible."

"Then... why don't just stay here for good A-Ra?" Hoseok shrugged his shoulders.

A-Ra smiled sweetly to Hoseok, "As much as I love my freedom here, I have the people I love there. The thought of them looking for me right now breaks my heart."

She doesn't know that contrary to what she's saying earlier... that's she's selfish.. it's not true at all.

"I guess you should give it a try."

The two looked at me with confusion.

"I mean, you should try to wish to go back and sleep there again. As I've said, what made you go here might make you go back."

The two nodded in agreement to my suggestion.

"Yes, I should give it a try."

That night, A-Ra said her goodbyes to us. We were all hopeful that she could go back to where she belongs.

Hoseok decided to spend the night in my house because he was also curious as to what will happen to A-Ra.

The two of us stayed in my room. To be honest, I can't sleep that night. It was unusual for me to do so.

I was holding myself back to go outside of my room. A-Ra and Hoseok said that maybe it couldn't work if someone will see her disappearing. I thought that it was absurd but I guess, the whole thing with A-Ra proves absurd things can actually be true.

Upon Hoseok waking up, we both went outside my room, scrambling towards the wooden pillar where we left her to sleep.

"Whoah! Hyung... it worked!"

My eyes couldn't believe it... She's actually gone!

"To be honest hyung, I thought that it won't work."

I'm lost for words. She was there last night.

Was it that easy?

"Hyung..."

Hoseok called my attention and pointed towards the room that I let A-Ra occupied for a night.

There, we both saw A-Ra walking, half awake in the pyjamas that we bought the other day.

"A-Ra?"

"Hoseok."

"It didn't work?" I asked and to which she replied with a no.

"I waited until sunrise. I also got uncomfortable so I decided to sleep in the room."

"For a moment there, we really thought you're gone." Hoseok approached her and gave her a quick hug. "You might have been disappointed."

"I guess I am."

"So what's your plan now? Any ideas?" I asked.

Hoseok held A-Ra's shoulders which made her surprised, "A-Ra, I know you want to go back but as long as you're here, I just want to let you know that we'll be here for you. Me and Yoongi hyung." Hoseok looked at me for confirmation.

"Yeah. I guess, there's a reason why you ended up here. We can just figure it out along the way. But for now, as I've said, you're welcome to stay here."

Her face lit up instantly, "Thank you Yoongi, Hoseok."
