"It's called Lyra. That brightest star, right there, that's Vega. It's my favourite one," Taehyung says, his voice quiet and gentle. "In Greek mythology Orpheus played the lyre, did you know? He managed to charm Hades with his music so that he'd let him take his beloved from the underworld. Hades agreed on one condition; Orpheus couldn't turn around to look at her until they were outside, but he looked back just as they were steps away from the surface, and she had to stay in the underworld forever."

Yoongi blinks a few times, his gaze dropping from the sky to Taehyung, who was still staring at the constellation above them.

"He loved her so much he went to hell to haggle with Hades for her soul. And he missed her so much he couldn't stop himself from looking back, even though it meant losing her again, forever."
