❝does he have his house there? money in advance? a phone⸺❞

❝he has everything there, don't worry.❞ the superior glanced at the star floating above a cloud, a little behind him, then looked back at jungsu who was still sleeping peacefully in his bed.

sending off stars as humans was not something they did on daily basis. in fact, it was something they hadn't done in a very long time. sure, there were other times when they had to do it, but because of the consequences, mostly stars would rather stay up in the sky. not like many went for some time to help their humans either. having such strong powers was not something easy to give up and not easy to accept too. imagine spending whole life knowing you can feel certain someone's emotions, feelings, detect where they are, help them heal physical wounds and suddenly you don't have any of those powers. 

adapting to human life was not easy either. obviously, stars struggled with so many simple things humans could do on daily basis, it was not easy to adjust to a totally different lifestyle. that was why, most of them never went down in the first place. helping out their special people from up in the sky. or, at least, once they came back from earth, they didn't ask to be sent back as humans.

no one would give away such strong powers and life in the sky just to go on earth and keep living there as a normal human. but, of course there were very few who did that. jungsu was one of those.

at some point no one could blame him, the superior knew how everything was going, he had been watching each and every step of his after all and he kind of did expect for jungsu to ask him about going back there. he could tell, there was something more than just protecting his special human when it came to jungsu. there was something more he felt about it, something deeper which was not so common among stars. he just didn't want for him to go. he didn't want for anyone to go. the consequences were big, the life would be hard at first and he didn't want for anyone to go through it. especially, two times, like jungsu did right now.

but their wish was his command. he just had to warn them all, make sure they knew what they were putting themselves into and that was it. he tried convincing jungsu, but it was no use. as long as the star was happy, he was ready to give him everything. they all were like his own kids anyway, their happiness mattered to him most so if that was what jungsu wanted, despite the consequences, he would let it be so. 

one other thing was that he could do was to provide everything on earth, he would make it seem like jungsu had always existed on earth, was always there, went to certain school, than university, had his own house and basically everything he needed there for a fresh start.

he couldn't blame his friend for being worried for him, he knew it must have been so hard for him too. they were practically born and raised together, given a chance to spend every single second by each other's side and now that jungsu was gone, the other star was suddenly all alone, being left with no one. well, there were plenty of other stars in the sky, not like he wasn't getting along well with anyone there but jungsu was different. they were inseparable.

❝sorry, i just.. i already miss him so much.❞ the star landed down on the cloud with a long sigh, looking at jungsu who still was asleep in bed so peacefully, like there was no tomorrow. ❝i wish i was able to go there and see him.❞ he then mumbled more to himself, not wanting for the superior to hear what he had just said.

that was forbidden. going down without asking anyone and getting a permission to, was breaking a rule and no one knew what could have happened if you did break a rule like that. well, he did break it once, when he went down to check up on jungsu, making sure he was okay and giving him some advice he needed, but that was a one time thing. no one but jungsu knew about it and he was sure the other took that secret with him on earth now because if anyone found out about it, he would be in a huge trouble.
