10. PLANETARIUM.
. . . .
AFTER that one night on the rooftop, they went there again whenever they had the time to.
That's why today, to return the favor, Taehyung asked Eloise to go to the planetarium with him, with wanting to learn more about the night sky as an excuse. That wasn't a complete lie, he caught interests on learning more, but that's not the main objective either.
A boy just wanted to spend more time with Eloise, and that boy was Kim Taehyung.
They entered the theatre, taking seats, and faced the ceiling. The show had yet to begin. Some other visitors were filling the room.
"This is very exciting." Despite what she said, her face remained flat. Taehyung was somehow used to her not showing much emotions, that's just very Eloise. He didn't mind it that much.
"Don't be so excited." Taehyung chuckled jokingly.
Eloise frowned. "No, I am serious, Tae. I am very excited about this. You know me, I am not good at expressing myself."
And Taehyung smiled at her. His heart melted after the protest; seeing the slight facial expression change made him soft. That was cute.
The light in the room dimmed, slowly adjusting the dark to the audiences' sights. A view of the night sky presented on the ceiling.
Theories about how earth was made, the names of constellations and how planets were created came along with explanations. But of course Taehyung didn't really need those, he has an excited Eloise explaining everything while pointing to various directions. It was the first time he saw her being so excited.
They saw the meteors, black holes, and the milky way. The wonderfully projected animations made them feel like being a part of the solar system, rotating slowly with the cosmos.
A realization dawned upon him then, his eyes opened wide. This was his world, this was the space that he'd been living in all this time, everything looked so exquisite. How the cosmos moves, how the shooting stars fall, the seemingly enigmatic views were belong to humans. These were everything revolving around him. And to think he'd been sleeping on these after all this time was pretty stupid.
The universe was beautiful, and Taehyung had finally realized that. He almost shed a few tears because of it, he didn't know why too. He just felt so... happy? He was never good at emotions as well, he shouldn't be.
"Tae, stars are very beautiful, right? Stars can guide you home. If you were a traveler and got lost, the stars would guide you back. You're never alone as long as the night sky exists," Eloise muttered, making sure her voice didn't interrupt other audiences.
"I love being alone, but not lonely. Stars are just perfect companions to me. Each time I look up, I would feel like there's a place called home. I feel completed. I like that feeling. They always guide me," she added.
Taehyung couldn't agree more, yes, the stars indeed guide people home.
The stars guided him to Eloise.
