We were watching a movie when I excused myself. I told him I will go to the bathroom but instead, I took the cake I bought earlier while he was in his studio.

"Happy birthday, Jeon Jungkook..." I greeted him as I finished singing the song and was already in front of me. 

His doe eyes glistened with emotions that I couldn't help but also tear up. This is the first time that we will be celebrating his birthday together after so many years and as a couple.

"Make a wish," I whispered. He smiled at me before closing his eyes. He took a minute to say his wish quietly and when he opened his eyes, he blew the candle. "Happy birthday!"

"Thank you, babe." He said in a whisper. I put down the cake before kissing him. "I have something for you."

"Huh? It's your birthday and I am the one who has a gift?" I asked in confusion.

"Yeah. Just stay there, okay?" He said before standing up. When he came back, he was already bringing his guitar. "I think this will be released  in the morning."

"What? What is going to be released?"

He only smiled at me before he started strumming. I leaned on the sofa, clutching my chest as my heart was thumping in anticipation. This isn't the first time he sang in front of me but it felt suddenly like it.

I bit my lip and concentrated on him when he started to sing:

I launched my rocket ship
There's somewhere I need to be
The celestial map in the darkness

Holding onto everything you said
You showed me the void is not empty
My spirit rose, alive and plenty
Even with endless impossibilities

Through the galaxies  we explore
I'm sure we'll land here and more
I launched my rocket ship
Babe, you are my rocket ship

I see the fire in your eyes
The passion in your soul
You've got a dream to chase
A goal to make you whole

I floated through space all these years
You said it was there, you'd be there

I launched my rocket ship
There's somewhere I need to be
The celestial map in the darkness

Holding onto everything you said
You showed me the void is not empty
My spirit rose, alive and plenty
Even with endless impossibilities

Through the galaxies we explore
I'm sure we'll land here and more
I launched my rocket ship
Babe, you are my rocket ship

Now, I've landed on so many stars
But why do I still feel so lost
I've reached the heights
But where's my heart?
The universe can be a lonely cost
But when I gaze into your eyes
I see a world beyond the skies
