Hi guys, I know that I'm an eternity late to upload, but I'm still stressed over my finals, so thank you very much for waiting. I had to reread my own story, because I forgot the details, anyways I hope you like the chapter!

Author's POV:

"Oh god, that was one of the most annoying and stressful months in my life, I'm so glad everything is over now", Jimin said relieved.

"I know exactly what you mean, I thought I was going to die due to the stress too...I just hope, I don't have to do anything again, I just hope I passed", Hoseok said.

The boys were sitting as usual in their café when Yoongi joined them leaving his shift, "Are you talking about the exam? I feel like it was harder than usual, but look at it positively, now we have vacation and after that just one semester left to get our master".

"True, after six months we are free, but it wasn't harder than usual. That's what everyone says as an excuse, you should have learned more than drooling over Jimin", Namjoon said laughing.

"Are you jealous, that Jin isn't yours yet?", Yoongi mocked back.

"Just shut up, it isn't time now, but eventually the right time will come so-", Namjoon was interrupted by Jungkook, who came in and sat next to him, "There is no such thing as 'The right time' you have to create your right time".

"Jungkookie, he is just jealous that Jin hyung didn't say yes right away", Jimin laughed earning a glare from Namjoon, "Anyways, how was your exam, you studied with Taetae right?"

"Yea...it was good I guess".

"Are you still sad over the fact, that he won your little game?", Yoongi asked and Jungkook looked away.

"Wait, what game?", Hoseok joined.

"They asked each other questions to see who could answer more, but it was kind of obvious that Taehyung would win and now he has to do everything Tae says for a whole day. Now our muscle baby is sad", Namjoon teased.

"Oh, I get it, but is it that bad to loose against Tae, Jungkook?", Hoseok asked.

Jimin looked at Jungkook with a little smile, "I guess that ruined his plan that he actually had".

Hoseok looked at Jimin, "What plan are you- Oh, hey Jin hyung and Tae!"

Everyone looked to the door where Jin and Taehyung came from.

After everyone was present, they ordered some coffees and juices and talked about the exam and how they think they did. Time flew by and they decided it was time to go, so they left the café.

"Oh, I think I left my jacket in the university...You can leave without me, I'm going back to get it", as Taehyung wanted to run, Jin stopped him to come with him, but Jungkok said he would go and so the group split.

As the two of them walked silently to the university, Taehyung decided to break the silence, "So, how was your exam?"

"It was actually good, some of the questions were harder than I thought, but I think I have passed. What's with you? I bet it was good".

"I studied much, so I think it should work out".

"Yea, you also won the game, so what do you want me to do?"

"I don't know yet, this is a big opportunity and I can't just miss to use it correctly".

"What's that supposed to mean?", the younger asked confused, but his hyung just chuckled.

When they reached the university both of them searched for the jacket but couldn't find it.

"Hm...weird. I'm sure it was here. Maybe it's on the third floor" Taehyung muttered.

When they reached the third floor, but couldn't find the jacket anywhere, Jungkook asked if his hyung was sure, that he left it here, which the other confirmed.

"We can ask the caretaker tomorrow, for now you can have my jacket, you don't have any kind of fat on you so you must be cold", the younger said taking of his jacket and offering it to the other.

"Hm...thank you Kookie, but the main problem is, that my phone was in the pocket of my jacket", he sighed, "It can't be helped now, it's 11 p.m. I have to ask someone tomorrow", with this words he put on the slightly bigger jacket.

"Wait, so that means I can't text you anymore to meet with you".

Taehyung laughed, "I guess you have to do it the old way and send me letters, or you decide to walk the stairs up to my floor and tell me directly".

Both of them left the university and decided to take the longer way home through the park. The night sky looked beautiful with the stars and moon on it.

"Stars or the moon?", both of them looked surprised, but then started to laugh when they realised, they asked the same question at the same time.

"You answer first", Jungkook said.

"Well, for me it is the moon. The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished. It is the only thing you can see in some nights, when the stars decide to leave its side.
Usually, stars appear with other stars in a constellation, but the moon does not need anyone".

They walked further coming near the hill they sat on a few months ago.

"The moon does not die like the stars with a supernova, dragging everything near it to death. It receives its light from the sun to shine.
There is a side of the Moon which we never see, but that hidden half is as potent a factor in causing the ebb and flow of the Earth's tide as the part of the Moon which is visible".

They sat down and watched the sky.

"It really teaches us that darkness can't hide the beauty of life if we know how to reflect it".

"It's like you".

"Hm?".

Jungkook's POV:

He looked surprised at me.

"Well, you kind of taught me to see beauty in life even in the dark times.
You went through so much and I bet even more which I still don't know, but you are here standing on your feet, or now sitting but you get what I mean and focus on your future. I really admire you hyung".

Six, three...five?

Wait what? Usually he looks six seconds at me, then three away and again six seconds at me, but now he broke eye contact after five seconds.

"Hyung? Is everything ok?"

He looked surprised, "Yes, why shouldn't everything be ok?

"Well...", should I say why or does it make me look weird and creepy?

"Well, you usually look six seconds at me or other people when you talk with them, then three seconds away and again six to them. After a certain time, also depending on the person, this seconds change and it seems like you are not counting in your head anymore, but right now you broke eye contact after five seconds with me. This whole semester I got to know you better and you don't seem like the type to change habits easily, so that's why I wondered".

He looked shocked. So it was to creepy... good job Jungkook.

"Why do you care so much for me Jungkook?"

He looked away, now facing the sky and cried...?

He sat there on a hill, watching the stars as a tear silently left his eye.

"I hate tears so much, they remind me of old times even when they can mean happiness.
Why aren't you leaving me? I'm just a monster who tries to be human".

"Don't ever call yourself that again!"
