Y/N POV

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing.  I stretched my legs and turned to my side to check it. 10 missed calls from my mum, I'm guessing Yoongi updated her about what happened. I didn't want to talk to anyone right now, I needed just a bit of time, if Yoongi updated her then she'll know I'm fine. I guess.  

My head felt stuffy and my eyes hurt to open them considering how puffy they were. My phone read 2am. The moon lit my entire room, along with the city night lights. Remember when I said how much I loved my balcony? Right now was the time for those deep thoughts on the balcony watching the city that never sleeps, yes I know they say that for New York but have you seen Seoul at night? There is something about the dark, about night, about the moon and the stars that makes me feel so peaceful. It is so serene. The moon and the stars listen to the words and emotions I cannot speak during the day. The moon and the stars; the galaxy, it's something profound I've found during a time I didn't think I needed, it's my serendipity. 

I took my pillow to the balcony, and lay there, stargazing. I wished upon the stars to discover happiness here, to have a home. The cool, spring, Seoul night breeze caressed my hair and skin, taking me back to summer nights with my family, the essence of nostalgia ached my heart, but I had to make memories here. I got up and leaned against the balcony railing, looking at the city lights, totally immersed and lost in the beauty, in this moment, I wished this night lasted forever. It sounds confusing, this day was possibly the worst day of my life, but looking at the stars makes me feel so small in this universe, in this galaxy looking down at me. I could have died, but I didn't. 

I wondered if any of the boys were awake, they should be, some of them, I'm sure. I normally stay up until 2am myself just watching Netflix. But I wasn't too sure I wanted to break this trance I was in. I felt relaxed and content, for the first time in forever. I tiptoed back to my room, grabbing my diary from underneath my pillow, it's not something I write in every day, just when I want to doodle or write my emotions down. I went back outside, taking a deep breath, writing how I felt today, and how I feel now. I brought my blanket with me too, and leaned against the wall, putting the pillow behind my back for comfort. 

A few minutes passed. 

I had finished writing,  just watching this mesmerising view I had in front of me, until I heard my door open. I felt scared, I guess it's the post traumatic emotions coming through, but deep down I know it's one of the boys, I need to bury those traumatic feelings away otherwise they're going to bother me in the future. I stayed where I was knowing whoever it was would find me. 

"You're not asleep?" 

I turned my head up, it was Jungkook. His tall, figure in the dark, but his eyes twinkled in the moonlight. I smiled, "Anya" and turned my head back to the view in front of me. Jungkook sat beside me, making a small thump, his shoulder leaning against mine. "Wae?" he cocked his head to the side, looking at me, I could tell from my peripheral vision. I knew he understood english well, I was happy he wasn't holding back or being shy, normally that's me, so it makes communicating a lot easier for me. I replied, still looking at the lights that made my heart smile. "I woke up around half an hour ago, and came to the balcony, outside. I like night time, I like the stars." I explained. "And the moon", I pointed my finger towards the moon, his eyes traced my gesture, leading him to the galaxy. He smiled warmly at me.  I wonder what he's thinking.  

BTS/Narrator POV

Jungkook was lost in Y/N's eyes. Not in the romantic way, he wanted to figure her out. He realised in that moment, she too, was just like her big brother, Yoongi. Both of them keep to themselves, so when they do show emotion, it's intense. He chuckled to himself at the similarity.   He was happy he was talking to her. "Are you okay?" He realised he hadn't even asked her how she was from what happened earlier. He noticed her puffy eyes, and it hurt him a lot. Y/N smiled, "I am, thank you." She spoke few words. Does she want me to leave? Am I disrupting her thoughts? I should probably go. "Aren't you tired?" she suddenly questioned.                                "Ani, I play games all night. I like to be awake." Y/N liked his presence. It was nice to share her beautiful night with someone. "You know, I'm glad you're here." She looked to the ground, shy at what she just said. Jungkook watched her every move, fascinated by her, she was someone new in his life, in BTS' lives, he didn't get to see this side of her, it was like she was the 'dark side of the moon', the side he never gets to see, or any of the boys.  "I like tonight, I feel good. The stars and the moon relax me." She turned back to look at Jungkook, smiling. The way she spoke showed meaning behind every word. "I like the stars too", Jungkook revealed. Y/N shocked by his statement, "You do?".                                                                                                                                                           "Ne" he nodded, flicking his head to move the hair in front of his eyes, getting a better view of Y/N.  Y/N smiled, "I think it gives certain people, like me, or like you, a place to confide in, right?" Y/N was starting to use words that Jungkook didn't know. He didn't want her to stop talking though, so he secretly recorded what she was saying on his phone so he could go back and listen using google translate. The boy just nodded in agreement, hoping it was the right thing to do. "It's like a therapy session, but a really nice one, one that truly works and make you feel changed and at peace. It's magical. The galaxy is magical." She spoke softly but vehemently. She was unaware that Jungkook possibly wouldn't understand all of what she was saying, but it was also a magical sight for Jungkook to see. He knew she was speaking passionately about something, and he guessed that it was to do with the stars as she kept looking up, smiling contently. Jungkook's eyes were still twinkling, in the deepest of nights, his eyes sparkled. Y/N noticed this, "Jungkook, did you know you have galaxies in your eyes?"                                                                               "Hm?" He didn't understand the question, he was still recording and he was glad he was.                   "One second, I'll use google translate" She quickly tapped some words in her phone, then showed her phone to Jungkook. The pair were sitting very close, shoulders touching, which made the conversation, and the night, much more personal. "당신은 당신의 눈에 은하를 잡아" Jungook read. He laughed warm-heartedly, looking at the ground, still smiling. "Wae? You really do hold the galaxy in your eyes!" Y/N jokingly argued, she ended up laughing, mainly out of embarrassment, thinking why she just said that.                                              

Y/N reminded Jungkook  of his hyung, Hoseok. His laugh could light up a room, his presence alone was enough to make someone feel better, yet when he was alone, he wouldn't be the bright light people know him as. Y/N was somewhat the same. Jungkook doesn't know her that well yet, but from what he noticed today, it reminded him. All souls are tainted, even the ones that shine the most. "Y/N?" a curious Jungkook wanted Y/N's attention.                                                    "Mhm?"                                                                                                                                                                                   "Are you happy here?" He questioned, his legs stretched out in front of him, feet crossed, arms crossed, shoulders still touching. "I will be. I am right now", Y/N smiled. The pair both looked in front of them, not wanting to miss anything from the city light.  "A happy soul shields the cruelty of this world", she stared into the eyes of the galaxy. Jungkook didn't quite understand, but whatever it was, it touched his heart. "Y/N, I'm glad I met you, that we met you. That you're in our lives. You know that, right?" Y/N nodded, pulling the blanket over her and Jungkook as gentle wind brushed their bare skin. "You have given night time a new meaning to me", he slouched against the wall to become more comfortable. The two were lost stars talking the night away, the moon started to fade and the stars disappeared. They fell asleep, her head on his shoulder. The two had no romantic feelings for one another, but this may have sparked the start of an amazing friendship.
