“What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine”

------

"Alright, but tell me, how did you write this song so easily? I don't know why but my songwriting capabilities is going weaker as the day passes by" He chuckled as he drank his soju

The girl laughed in response, she was a little woozy from the drink she had, she wasn't that much of a heavy drinker, she was quite light-headed just from the half bottle of soju

"T-this? You thought it was easy to write this song? Bitch please, I've been working on this for months, probably because of my procrastination but you know what I mean" she smirks as she takes another sip

They sat quietly on the bed, the laughter dying down and the silence surrounding them

"So? What made you write a song, Ji?"

A small gasp escaped from her lips as she heard the nickname, smiling at what he said

"Oh, I don't know, boredom?" She shrugged

She placed the soju bottle on the table and laid down on the bed staring at the ceiling while he sat beside her

"What about you? What made you continue Paris in the rain after, you know, our breakup and shit"

He shrugged, placing his soju bottle beside hers and laid down
Both of them staring at the ceiling

"I don't know, boredom?" He smirked and looked at her

She raises an eyebrow and glances at him, returning the smirk he gave

"Copycat much? No originality? Huh, and to think I thought you changed"

She averted her gaze but the smirk was still there, she could still feel his stare but she didn't mind

"Wow, are you seriously going to use the past against me, m'lady?"

She scoffs, "What? Did I lie? Didn't you plagiarise my music?"

He burst out laughing, "Seriously? After all this time you think I copied your song? Stop flattering yourself, Kim"

She shrugged and glared at him, "It sounds the same though, you're lucky I was nice and didn't sue you and your management"

"Well I guess I do consider myself lucky, if it weren't for that scandal we never would have known each other nor got together"

She smiles as she remembered the memory

"You mean Coachella 2017? We were both chosen to perform? Your band, Me and some other artists', good times" She giggled

She closed her eyes while her mind takes her back to that exact moment

"Remind me how we got together, again?" He says

"I can't remember a lot" She mumbled, "But I think it was at The AB Artist awards? Your band won the musician's of the year and in your speech, you mentioned me, talking about the alleged plagiarism"

"Mhm, then we talked backstage, long story short I got your number" He continued as he stares at her

Neither of them was sure if it was the alcohol talking or maybe it was the liquor that made them so comfortable talking to each other

"Yuppers! Then a year and a half passed it was 2019, I'm sure both of us knew what happened that year" She snickered, her eyes were closed but she felt the tears brimming

Taehyung hummed in response, truth told he doesn't think he will be able to forget the events that happened that year even though he wishes he could

"That year was full of shit!" She continued to laugh, her tears were now streaming against her face

He was completely oblivious to the fact as it was dark in the room and the only thing that provided the light was the moon shining brightly

"We both suffered a lot that year, but remember when we went to Paris? It was our first time there as a couple" He changed the subject as the topic barely made him comfortable

"Yeah, remember our first Christmas together too? It was with my family while we spent the new years with yours" She sniffled as she wiped the tears out of her face bringing back her smile

"It was also our first birthday that we spent together"

She hummed in response

"Do you ever wish you could turn back time?" He asks putting her off guard

"Why did you ask?" She returns a question

"Well do you ever wish that things turned out the complete opposite as to what it turned out?" He inquires as he looked at her

"Well maybe things happened because it was bound to happen, maybe it occurred because that's how it supposed to be" She gazed at him

"But what if we had a chance to change it? Would you take it?" His brows furrowed as he looked at her, his stare was sharp, like he was expecting a particular answer from her

"It depends, there are some things that are better off not rewritten at all"

"Yes but what about the bad days? The times where you were badly screwed? The year you were poorly hurt?" He rambled question after question

"Well, for me those days are what makes up life, a life without damage means you wouldn't be able to grow, pain and weakness is what makes us stronger, Taehyung" she avoided his gaze and stared back at the ceiling

"But still, don't you think there are days where you want to rewrite? Maybe the day where you took a test that could change your career? a day where you could stop yourself doing stupid things? A day where you can be with your past lover again..." 

She could hear the pain in his voice making her breathing weaken

"I don't know what you're trying to say here, Tae, but you cant just rewrite the stars, things happen if it is meant to be" she stood up from the bed

"But what if you can?" He says

"I'm afraid that you can't do that in real life" She sighed, putting on her shoes and opening the door

"Jisoo" He called out, his sight becoming blurrier

"Good night, Tae" She mumbled as she left the hut, closing the door leaving Taehyung by himself
