When the stars align

Tired.

"So today was just exhausting and honestly, a pretty rough day. Want to know why? Well, it started in the morning when my teacher yelled at me for something so small… I yawned, and she caught me red-handed. The class was two hours long, and I had just eaten a big meal. What was I supposed to do? Her voice was like a lullaby, and I couldn't help but yawn. Not that big of a deal, right?

When the class finally ended and I walked out, I stepped onto a wet floor. I almost slipped, but thankfully, my friend caught me in time. Then I headed to the metro, only to witness two middle-aged men yelling and swearing at each other. The words they were using, full of insults, made my heart ache. It was so harsh that I started tearing up. I felt so drained, my head was pounding.

By the time I got home, my sister was being overly clingy as usual, and I ended up yelling at her. I just vented all the stress and anger from the day. But then I saw her eyes welling up with tears, and I instantly regretted shouting. My heart sank. Now, I'm left thinking my whole day was just… well, a mess. But I’m feeling a bit better now. I just wanted to tell you what happened.

Anyway, now that I’m calmer, I’m going to make things right with my sister. I’ll talk to you later. Lots of love."

I read San’s message, and it made my heart heavy. I whispered to myself, "It must have been hard for you, dear. I hope you're okay now." Then I took the last sip of my juice.

"Hyung, are you done?" Jungkook asked, looking at me.

I hummed, putting my glass down and standing up.

"Okay, so go set up the video game," he said, looking eager.

I let out a tired sigh, not really knowing how to say no. "Jungkook-ah, can we play tomorrow? It’s just been such a long day."

He looked at me, confused, and then asked, "Hyung, we’ve been home all day... Are you okay? You look sick."

He immediately stood up and put his hand on my forehead.

I gently pulled his hand away. "I’m fine, just really tired. Don’t worry about it."

He nodded and I headed to my room. I collapsed onto my bed, and within moments, I was fast asleep.

YN's POV:

I sat there, staring blankly at my phone, looking at all the messages I had sent him. Each one revealed a side of me that no one else had ever seen. I shared everything with him—every moment, every feeling—knowing he might never read them. But just sending them made me feel at peace. It was as if I had someone who really understood me, even if only in my own little world. With him, I can truly be myself, no pretending. Even if it’s all just in my imagination… He makes me feel loved, like no matter what happens, he's always there for me. My Taehyung.
