Another silence.
Jungkook soaks in the sound of Jimin's breaths and wonders if he could give up his own for Jimin's. If he just held his breath long enough, he could somehow send his lost-breath through the speaker to Jimin, to keep him alive for--
"What star are you going to?" Jimin asks, breaking the silence. His voice is fuzzy with static.
The man points at a screen with a map of the solar system. The ship is closing in on the first of Jupiter's moons.
"Your star. We're going to your star," Jungkook says, letting his head drop between his knees to steady his breathing,
"The one you picked out that night we were on the roof."
"Really?"
"Yeah, it'll be a long way there so you should--"
"Really rest up, I know, I know," Jimin's voice is indulgent and it seeps into Jungkook's skin, sticking like the apple juice that slicks down your fingers when you take too big of a bite.
"Its sunset, you know," Jimin says after another brief break.
The static is getting worse, half-syllables breaking off. Jungkook glances at the screen--halfway to the last of Jupiter's moons.
"Is it pretty?" he asks, running a finger over the cover of The Little Prince, tracing the title.
"Too pretty."
"Sunrise is still prettier," Jungkook says, but he hears the choke in his own voice and has to swallow again.
