Her Astronaut

✯47✯

Nova felt like she was floating.

After countless months of therapy and being lost in her grief, she finally found the light at the end of the tunnel she had desperately sought for so long.

The final stage of grief - acceptance.

Right in the middle of a Coldplay concert nonetheless.

It was so fitting. The place where she found solace with Jenn after leaving her family all those years ago is where she finally found peace with Jenn's death.

However, she was not alone in this journey.

Many people had helped her along the way. From Gavin/Rodrigo to Mirabel and everyone in between, many people stood by her with unwavering support.

In this moment, two men in particular had helped her reach this revelation - the bodyguard holding tightly onto her hand, and the Korean Idol who was just moments away from performing the elusive song that would "prove" his love for her.

All she could hope for was that Jenn's soul was finally at peace.

It wasn't long until it was finally time for Jin's highly anticipated solo debut performance. The two of them were both wiping tears off their faces from the Fix You performance when Chris Martin began to speak.

Nova held onto Yeong's hand as Chris eloquently introduced the song:

At first, she had half a thought to pull her phone out and film it for everyone. Knowing that BigHit was recording this performance, she opted against it and decided to revel in the moment.

She wanted to soak it all in.

It was bittersweet knowing that she was able to experience his first and last solo performance before enlisting in the military.

However, Instead of focusing on that, she was overcome with gratitude to all the people who helped make this moment happen. Not just the creation of the song, or even this performance, but the fact that many people rallied around her so she could be here to experience this beautiful moment for herself.

Right as the song was about to begin, Yeong let go of her hand and stepped to the side.

"Where are you going?" she asked confused.

"Giving you some space, I want you to fully take this in. Don't worry I'm not going far."

She gave him a weary look before turning back to the now-darkened stage. Her heart fluttered as the lights focused on the B-Stage where Jin rose from the middle. The world faded away as the song began.

Nova melted into the instrumentation instantly. The moment Jin began to sing, she felt her heart flutter. His voice was always a healing balm to her soul.

Closing her eyes, she let herself get lost in the song. However, he barely finished the first verse when her eyes bolted open as she began to process his words.

You and me, an unending history
Oh, you became my universe
The story of us
Like that asteroid drifting by without a destination
I, too, was just drifting along
Every dream I found in the darkness
Starting anew this story
