*Yes, nowadays all the newest 7x7-line Subaru (At this time Subaru and Boeing have conducted a merger, hence why the Subaru spaceships are all named 727, 737, 757-900, etc.) spaceships include ultra detailed black boxes that even take note of some laughter and silences because (according to the fine print in their safety contract): “We need your highest level of cooperation to keep you safe, and following in the footsteps of our aviation forefathers we include black boxes in all our spaceships. All this data—only gathered if ship has been wrecked in telling circumstances—will be used for your safety. We want to keep you safe because we know someone out there loves you, and as we say here at Subaru: ‘Love. It’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru.’” (Also yes, contracts are written as letters or some other more interesting format than a formal contract because of a push for corporate transparency.)

Y/I: “You know, one of the main reasons I walked outside to talk to you is because Yeri and Jungkook were trying to make amends. No, stop making that face, it was really genuine. They still look really cute together.”

MYG: “That’s annoying.”

Y/I: “But I mean in a non-annoying way. I hope they stay together for a long time.”

MYG: “Do you want that planet to be destroyed along with Earth?”

Y/I: “No! They’re just more mature now. I’m pretty they know how to practice safe sex and not get into dumb fights every ten seconds now.”

MYG: “Okay.” Approx. 18.09 seconds of silence. “I think it’s good that they were talking to each other because being honest about feelings is good.”

Y/I: “But I mean not always. Feelings are tricky.”

MYG: “True, but ugh, why does it even have to be that way? Relationships and feelings are just so complicated. I just want something uncomplicated. Something honest, maybe honesty will make it all better? But—ugh. You know what? Yeah, fuck it, maybe even no relationship.”

Y/I: “Um. Wow, Yoongi, I’ve never heard you go off like that.”

MYG: “I guess that’s because we don’t really know each other.”

Y/I: “Yeah.” Approx. 2.77 seconds of silence. “Hey, I’m glad I’m getting to know you now.”

MYG: “Psh, you don’t know me. Relationships are too complex to develop a real one in this short span of time.”

Y/I: “Relationships are complex and Yeri and Jungkook managed to survive in a year what couples most couples experience in twenty years. Love, cheating, pregnancy, lying all in that one. Are you trying to say their relationship was fake?”

MYG: “Okay! I guess you got me. I guess you do know me. That’s cute—I mean nice

Y/I: “Mhm, yeah. You’re nice too”

Y/I: “Yoongi, what if we didn’t get along so well?”

MYG: “Who says we get along?”

Y/I: “Oh my God. Stop attacking me. You lied when you said you’re only mean when you’re drunk. You’re snappy when you’re sober too. I can’t wait until I can get away from your sassy attitude.” Y/I sighs for approx. 2.9 seconds, and MYG laughs for approx. 5.5 seconds. “How much time until we get to Earth?”

MYG: “Just a few more days. You should try piloting for once.”

Y/I: “Do you want to die?”

MYG: “Are you threatening me or are you that bad of a pilot?” Approx. 3.45 seconds of silence. “Never mind, I don’t want to find out.”

Y/I: “But seriously, what if we weren’t able to get along?”

MYG: “I mean we have to. We’re stuck together for a bit.”

Y/I: “Yeah. You know we probably would never have done this if it weren’t for your thirst for adventure.”

MYG: “Yours too. I know you have a full, busy life ahead of you, but if going out makes you happy, don’t deny that part of yourself.”

Y/I: “Hm. Thanks.”

MYG: “Y/n. Fuccccccck. Did u see that?”

Y/I: “What, no?”

MYG: “It’s a police ship. I’m pretty sure they passed us though, so don’t worry too much. It was really far away, but we’re not supposed to be here.”

Y/I: “Wait, what? A police ship? Describe how it looks like to me.”

MYG: “What? Are you an idiot?”

Y/I: “No, I’m not. I just want to know how it looks like so I can watch out for them and make sure we don’t get caught.”

MYG: “Alright, okay. So these look like saucers, like the stereotypical alien ship things you see on old, old, oldie cartoons. They’re designed to do a Chameleon CC,* but these ships are so outdated that it’s pretty obvious that they’re fake as long as you have functioning eyes and notice the shape of the ship.”

*Color change, “Chameleon CC” is one of the major vocab terms students of AP Mechanics have to memorize. Yoongi and Y/N’s teacher (Miss Yuna Choi, the youngest teacher on staff, yet the strictest) beat vocab words into them so hard that they now use the words in everyday conversation. Sometimes Miss Choi’s students confuse non-AP Mechanics students with their occasional vocab word dropping. Chameleon CC is a feature that can be added to types of transportation to allow them to camouflage. It was at first created to stop major land transportation from destructing views from residential buildings, but it is now used in military, police, and even some savvy civilian vehicles.

Y/I: “Alright. Noted.”

MYG: “But how do you seriously not know how a police ship looks like? This grievous lack of knowledge is coming from the girl who dissed me about not knowing what a car was.”

Y/I: “I just don’t have every single police ship design memorized. That was not a part of the AP Mechanics test and not one of Miss Choi’s ridiculous requirements and I just never thought I would need to have this information memorized.”

MYG: “Oh, yeah. I forgot. Well, I know it because it’s a part of my military test thing.”

Y/I: “You’ve been studying?”

MYG: “Of course. I think one of my textbooks is somewhere mixed in with our dump of things*.”

*Y/n and Yoongi are both quite messy, at least in the domestic sense. All their laundry and clutter have been put in the back left seat to become “dump of things.”

Y/I: “I don’t want to dig through that. Honestly, I never want to open a textbook after all the articles Miss Choi made us read in AP Mechanics. No, never again.”

MYG: “Hah, yeah.” Approx. 1.02 seconds of silence. “Hey, did they have AP Mechanics on Earth?”

Y/I: “Not sure about the class, but yeah, they had AP. Didn’t you learn anything from AP Galactic history?”

MYG: “No, because I didn’t take that class. I hate the AP system and avoid taking AP classes whenever I can, but you know, sometimes we don’t have a choice. The system screws us all in the end.”

Y/I: “Wow, you’re cynical. Not only that, you’re just mean. I was totally right about how you’re snappy all the time. Sometimes I heard whispers about the soft, sweet Min Yoongi, but honestly after being on this ship I don’t see where that is. Wait no, there was that one time you let me use the bathroom longer than we discussed. And there’s that WJSN album I found a while ago. Yeah, actually I take that all back, you’re—”

MYG: “Ok now you chill, babe—I mean, girlfriend, no I mean girl.”

Y/I: “Did you just call me babe?”

MYG: “NO.”

MYG: “The world is way too big now for anyone to be caught doing anything bad. It’s just a matter of making sure you don’t get up to too much trouble.”

Y/I: “Like smoking weed and accidentally lighting yourself on fire?”

MYG: “Um. Yeah. Sure that’s an alright example.”

Y/I: “Feeling caught, Yoongi?”

MYG: “Mhm. Now shut up, and stop making me look dumb.”

Non-human voice sound recognized. Police sirens. Approaching vehicle.

Y/I: “Ah! Yoongi, what was that?”

MYG: “Christ. It’s  just the end of something that never really began.”

Y/I: “Can you please specify ‘it’? Man, I can’t wait to get out of this ship and talk to someone who can speak more clearly. Oh wait, I’m getting what I want now because you didn’t bother to wake me up to keep guard while you went to sleep. I hate you, Yoongi.”

MYG: “Oh shut up, I know you like me.”

Y/I: “Yeah.”

MYG: “Anyways, I meant this whole trip. It’s all something that never really began. We started it a few days ago and we’re not even halfway there and getting arrested.”

Y/I: “Yeah.”

author’s note pt. 2 i wrote that ap section bc i just like thinking that people hate ap even many, many years in the future (unless it dies, or gets improved). also personally i don’t totally hate ap, i just hate it little bit lol. also in case u don’t know what ap is, hopefully the wiki pg will suffice. and yeah this whole series is just super experimental for me as a writer lol. it’s v strange, but i hope u get something out of this series.
