Part Four: We can't be friends

☀︎︎what do we do when the cosmos collide? Do we avoid the collision, or face it head on.

THE MILKY WAY 🌌

The distant town that both Nova and Taehyung knew was drifting off behind them. Finally reaching out of town, the two were driving down a long desert road. The sun was shining prominently as it hit its peak.

There wasn't much in the surrounding area, just an auburn stretch of sand and mountains. Focusing his attention on the road ahead, Taehyung softly tapped his finger against the steering wheel as he usually did, while Nova smiled softly, as she watched out the window with her knees against her chest.

"So How's your mom?" Glancing briefly over at Nova, Taehyung asked.

"Yeah she's good. She's um...paranoid about me going to San Francisco. But you know my mom." Nova smiled softly, while Taehyung chuckled and nodded.

"Still hates your dad huh?"

"Yeah..."Lokking down at her hands, Nova sighed as she fiddled. Despite his focus being on the road, Taehyung had managed to catch her small fidget.

"Well...what do you think about him?" He asked.

"What do you mean?"

"He's your dad. You're not at least going to try and get to know him?" Taehyung shrugged briefly, earning a frowned look from Nova.

"I don't want to think about him right now. Besides my mom would be upset if she knew I spoke to him—"

"So? You have a right—"

"Taehyung. Stop it." Nova frowned and mumbled.

Taehyung sighed and rolled his eyes as he looked away. Nova fell silent, turning her head to look out the window. With a frown on her face, Nova now wished there was something to focus her attention on as they drove through the long desert road.

"Why do you do that?" Nova asked making Taehyung frown as he briefly looked at her.

"Do what??"

"Push my boundaries."

"Oh shut up nova." Taehyung groaned as he shook his head and focused back on the road.

"You know how my mom feels about my dad! and yet you're trying to make me pick a side."

"No I'm not! If anything I'm trying to get you to think for yourself for once."

"I can think for myself!" Nova protested.

"Right. Because you've done such a great job at that so far." Taehyung remarked sarcastically.

"What's that supposed to mean??" Nova frowned once again, this time with tears brimming her eyes.

"You're moving to San Francisco to work in an art gallery because someone told you too and you don't even have that much of an interest in art! You won't get to know your dad because your mom says so! And you're too afraid to follow your songwriting dreams because your 9th grade teacher told you a song you wrote sucked!"
