We find each other and grope for each other
The same sky
We promised to shine just the two of us
Far, far away, never ending Betelgeuse
A magic that connects you to someone
(korean)
We find each other, reach out to each other, and share the same sky
I promised you two that we would shine
Betelgeuse, the endless star in the distance
The magic that connects you with someone

It was under a dark sky that I first met him.
It was a small observatory on the outskirts, beyond even the city lights.
The endless expanse of stars seemed alive, as if breathing.
That day, he muttered while looking at the stars.
"We are all connected. Like Betelgeuse in the distance."
His words made me realize something.
The meaningless routine that I had been repeating every day suddenly seemed important.
I followed him, raised my head and looked up at the sky.
The red-glowing Betelgeuse was looking down on us.
“Why Betelgeuse?” I asked.
"That star will explode someday.
The end is not set.
But even until that moment, it brought light to countless people.
Isn't it similar to the reason we live?"
Starlight was twinkling in his eyes.
We looked at each other.
At that moment, I felt a deep connection with this stranger.
"Then shall we make a promise?" I said.
"What promise?"
"Let's make each other shine under that sky.
Enough that it's okay even if the end comes."
He smiled and held out his hand. I took it. It was warm.
At that moment, it seemed like all the stars in the sky were shining down on us at once.
After that, we spent a lot of time together looking at the stars.
Like stars, each with its own orbit,
Sometimes we moved away and sometimes we came closer.
But the promise between us remained firm.
Like the magic that Betelgeuse connects us.
One night, he said,
"When that star disappears, I might not be here either.
Is that okay?"
I looked at him and shook my head.
"You are always here. Your light never fades."
And we looked up at the sky again.
Betelgeuse was still shining in our sky.
