Sorry for not updating this sooner. I had a debate competition yesterday and I was busy preparing for it. I plan on updating 2 chapters today as a reward to my readers for being so patient.

Yoongi blinked in confusion, his mind reeling from Seokjin's words. Hibernating? What did that even mean? He had never heard of such a thing before, and the idea of it sent shivers down his spine.

---

"Hibernating?" Yoongi repeated, his voice barely above a whisper, betraying his inner turmoil. "What do you mean?"

Seokjin's eyes bore a weighty concern as he let out a sigh, shoulders slumping under the gravity of the revelation. "Hibernating is not merely a word, it's a state of existence, a realm where time slows and life itself holds its breath," he explained, his voice laden with a mix of empathy and trepidation. "It's a survival mechanism forged in the crucible of nature's harshest trials-a refuge sought by beings in the grip of harsh winters or barren landscapes, where dreams are suspended and the pulse of life slows to a whisper."

---

Yoongi's eyes widened in astonishment as his mind struggling to grasp Seokjin's explanation. Hibernating? That concept seemed like something out of a science fiction novel, a concept relegated to the realm of fantasy and imagination, not the cold embrace of reality.

---

"But... how did I end up hibernating?" Yoongi's voice trembled with uncertainty, each word a fragile thread clinging to the hope of understanding. "And why didn't anyone else on the ship experience it?"

Seokjin's brows furrowed in contemplation, his gaze drifting to some distant horizon as he grappled with the weight of Yoongi's inquiries. "The mysteries of existence often defy explanation, woven as they are from the fabric of the unknown," he mused, his tone tinged with a sense of resignation. "Your slumber, a tapestry of enigmas woven from the strands of your unique biology, remains a puzzle yet unsolved. Not only does your kind hibernate I have also noticed you need darkness to complete your cardiac rythm properly. It is a solitary journey, a path veiled in shadows, where answers elude even the most astute of seekers."

---

Yoongi's mind raced, a whirlwind of confusion and apprehension swirling within him as he tried to process Seokjin's words. Darkness? Cardiac rhythm? None of it made any sense to him, but he could sense the weight of their significance, like distant echoes reverberating through the corridors of his consciousness.The pieces of the puzzle seemed to slip through his fingers like grains of sand, their significance lost in the vast expanse of the unknown. And the realization that he stood apart from the rest of the crew only deepened the chasm of confusion within him.

---

"But... what does that mean for me?" Fear crept into Yoongi's voice, its tendrils wrapping around his heart with icy fingers. "Am I condemned to repeat this cycle of hibernation, a prisoner of my own biology?"

Seokjin's gaze softened, a flicker of empathy dancing in the depths of his eyes. "The future, a tapestry yet unwoven, holds both promise and peril in equal measure," he murmured, his words a soothing balm to Yoongi's troubled soul. "While the specter of hibernation may loom on the horizon, we shall stand vigil, guardians of the flame, ever watchful for signs of its encroachment. Together, we shall chart a course through the mists of uncertainty, forging a path illuminated by the light of camaraderie and understanding."

---

Yoongi nodded, a tremor of resolve coursing through his veins as he gazed upon the faces of his companions, a motley crew bound by the threads of fate and the bonds of friendship. Though the road ahead lay shrouded in shadow, he took solace in the knowledge that he need not tread it alone. With each heartbeat, a rhythm of solidarity echoed through the chambers of his soul, a symphony of unity rising above the discordant clamor of doubt and fear.

---

As the conversation unfurled and the crew tried there best to relieve some tension in the room, like the petals of a blossoming flower, Yoongi found himself enveloped in a tapestry of shared laughter and whispered confidences. Amidst the warmth of camaraderie, the burdens of uncertainty grew lighter, their edges softened by the gentle touch of understanding. And as he basked in the glow of friendship, Yoongi knew that no matter the trials that lay ahead, he would face them with courage, buoyed by the unwavering support of those who walked beside him.
