Minyook and Jinxi were sitting at the end of a cliff overlooking the wilderness. This part of Seoul was less crowded and had a Township vibe to it. The clear sky and pollution-free air made way for a spectacular view of stars.

With slight wind and cozy clothes, the two sat there in silence, absorbing all the splendid things the world around them missed.

"It looks gorgeous."

"I almost feel like my life is small in this vastness and my existence is meaningless."

"Someone told me that stars are a source of hope," Minyook said leaning against the giant rock. A faint silver gleam of hue painted his soft face with ethereal beauty.

"Hope?"

"Whenever you think you need some courage and whenever you need some hope that everything will be alright, Look up to the stars, and borrow it from one of them, it will give you some luck and hope."

"You believe it works?"

"The light has traveled from so far away just to reach you. I believe they have enough wisdom and power to lend you at least some."

"But there are so many, how would you keep track of it?"

"That's the beauty of it," Minyook said with a smile, hand outstretched at the night sky, grabbing at one of the little stars, "You never run out of hope to pluck from."
