"Let's start counting stars, TaeTae."

"Better not, Kookie. Stars won't help us live."

"Why, hyung? Why can't we continue dreaming? Dreams can bring miracles, too. It can help us live."

"Dreams are just stupid imaginations. They don't come alive, they're unreal. They don't bring miracles, they bring tragedies. I've dreamed too hard to have everything, now I'm left with nothing."

"But you still have me, TaeTae. Aren't I your miracle?"

"No, Kookie. You're more than just a miracle in my life. Dreaming hurts too much. You're not a miracle. Miracles aren't true, they only disappear; you're more like the whole world to me, one that won't."

"Hyung, I still don't understand. If I'm the entirety of your universe in your eyes, then what are you in my eyes? Just an illusion? No, you're not. You're my miracle. We're living a dream here, Tae. And I'm not gonna stop counting stars until you start counting them too."

"Believe whatever you want, Kookie. But for me; I see the reality in your eyes, not the stars. I don't count the galaxy; I count the times you would cry or laugh or smile. You're my reality, Jungkook. Not what's above us, or who has been dug six feet under."

"...how did we come this far?"

"I don't know, Kookie. But even though I don't want to die with you around, death is inevitable. I'd rather die with you, only you."

"W-What do you mean, Tae? Why are you talking about death like this..I don't want to die, at least not now. I don't want you to die. You're scaring me."

"Just continue looking up, Kookie..no need to look down. No need to worry about me. The world will accept you, but since the very beginning I wasn't meant to be alive. So keep counting those stars, Kookie. Just keep looking up..because once you look down, there will be no more stars in your dreams to guide you on the right path

without me."
