Chapter 2 - The Blue Rose of Seoul

The next morning, I woke up feeling a strange electric hum in the air. My journal was glowing faintly on my desk. I opened it and saw the sketch of a grand, ancient library.

​Without thinking, I pulled out a small, dried blue rose from my collection of decorations. I glued it onto the page and wrote: "For the leader who carries the weight of the world, may this flower bring you peace."

​Meanwhile, in Seoul, Kim Namjoon was walking through the quiet aisles of the Starfield Library. He felt exhausted after a long day of practice. He reached for a book on the highest shelf, but as he pulled it out, a fresh blue rose fell from between the pages.

​It wasn't dried; it was alive, and it smelled exactly like the spring air in my garden.

​Namjoon froze. He looked at the rose, then at the empty aisle. "A blue rose?" he whispered. "This shouldn't be here."

​He touched the soft petals and felt a sudden wave of calm. Little did he know, thousands of miles away, I was watching his smile through the ink on my paper.
