WHEN STARS COLLIDE
A Gentle Note Before We Start
Quietquill
Hi!
Thank you for opening this little story of mine.
This is my first time writing something like this — and honestly, it feels both scary and exciting.
Quietquill
I’m not a trained author, not someone with polished grammar or perfect storytelling.
I’m just someone who felt a small emotion whispering inside and decided… maybe it deserves a place on paper.
Quietquill
I’m usually a silent reader —
the type who reads quietly, smiles quietly, and disappears quietly.
Quietquill
But this time, something whispered, “Try writing too… just for fun.”
So here I am.
Quietquill
I’m just a person who wanted to create something small and warm.. make myself escape to my world,
because it made me happy.
Quietquill
It’s written because it felt nice.
Because the scenes in my head wouldn’t stop knocking.
Because a tiny spark wanted to turn into words.
That’s all.
Quietquill
If you’re here, reading this, thank you.
I hope you find warmth in the gentle moments, a smile in the silly ones, and maybe a little comfort in the spaces between the lines.
Quietquill
I don't know till where i go still I wanna walk on this path~
where my taekook heart lead.
Quietquill
Let’s enjoy this slow-burn journey together, step by step, page by page. 💛
Chapter 1 - The boy in red hoodie
The morning sun leaked into the hallway, turning the school’s glass windows golden.
There s boy rushed through the corridor, backpack half-open, hair a mess, because of course he had overslept again.
Students whispered as he passed.
“Isn’t he the basketball captain?”
“He never acts like one.”
Passing by a classmate of that boy said:
“Taehyung-ah, slow down!”
Taehyung ignored all of it. His only thought was:
KIM TAEHYUNG
""I’m late. Again. Namjoon-hyung is gonna kill me.""
He turned a sharp corner—
And collided into someone.
Taehyung stumbled back, almost dropping his phone.
KIM TAEHYUNG
Yah! Watch where you’re—
The boy standing in front of him slowly lifted his head.
Black hair falling over his eyes.
Red hoodie.
Headphones around his neck.
Expression unreadable.
KIM TAEHYUNG
(muttering): “…Whoa.”
The boy didn’t apologize.
Didn’t flinch.
Just stared at him with a look colder than winter.
UNKNOWN BOY
You ran into me.
The tone wasn’t rude.
Just… plain.
Like he didn’t care enough to be annoyed.
KIM TAEHYUNG
Excuse me? I— I did not run— okay maybe I did but— still! You should at least say something!
Before Taehyung could react, the homeroom bell rang.
The boy walked past him without another word.
And Taehyung just stood there, watching the back of the red hoodie disappear down the hallway.
KIM TAEHYUNG
Who… was that?
The teacher walked in with a new student following behind.
Taehyung froze.
Teacher
Class, this is our new transfer from Busan.
Jeon Jungkook. Please treat him well.
Jungkook didn’t bow deeply. Just dipped his head politely.
“Busan boy is cute.”
“He looks scary though.”
“Why is he wearing a hoodie inside?”
Meanwhile Taehyung was sinking lower in his seat
KIM TAEHYUNG
(whispering to his bestie): That’s the guy who insulted me!
？？？
Insulted… or were you being dramatic again?
KIM TAEHYUNG
Taehyung: I’m NOT dramatic. Pabo Jimin-ah!!
PARK JIMIN
You said the cafeteria kimchi was ‘a personal attack’ yesterday.
Teacher
Jungkook, you can sit… hmm… next to Taehyung.
Teacher
Unless you’d prefer sitting on the floor?
Jungkook walked over and sat beside him, placing his bag down gently.
After a full minute, he leaned slightly toward Jungkook.
KIM TAEHYUNG
…So. We meet again !
JEON JUNGKOOK
(calm): Unfortunately.
Taehyung’s mouth opened in offense.
KIM TAEHYUNG
You know, transferring students are supposed to be NICE.
JEON JUNGKOOK
And noisy students are supposed to be quiet in class.
Taehyung’s ears turned red.
Jimin was trying not to laugh behind them.
Quietquill
Let's stop for now here.
Quietquill
Will see soon ~
