❝ So you become their source of oxygen, and they become your source of light and everything in between is water and fire ❞
In which two lost souls that once knew each other find themselves together in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

KEVIN CAN'T REMEMBER THE last time he received a failing grade on his English papers, having a father who supported his dreams of becoming a published writer and a mother who was fluent in the English language.
Hana was half American and Korean. She was the boy and his father's favorite moon indeed.
With her spring in their air personality, sunset eyes holding a mysterious but loveable gaze, and summer night smile calming the waves of the oceans, she felt like spring and summer, everything in between.
In the beginning, she taught him the languages with his father overlooking them, being their rope when they needed rescuing.
Siwoo always pulled himself down to help them rise, but he never left their side. He never let anything unfair slip through their tight small family bond, ripping it apart.
Kevin's mom also began to realize her son's love for music during grade four of elementary school, showcasing his hidden vocals. He would whisper lyrics under his breath in the music room, fingers drifting across keypads like glittering water hit by the warm sunlight.
The summer rainy day after graduation came like an earthquake, taking Hana from them.
It's not like it wasn't going to happen.
It came too soon.
It filled the hearts of her child and her husband with grief, loss, and memories playing on rewind.
Some things are better left unsaid.
He didn't understand at the age of thirteen, broken-hearted since then.
Now he gets it.
How is he going to face Jacob and apologize?
What if the letter was just mere kindness, understanding, nothing more than friendly like his nature? He's sitting two tables across from him, gaze focused on the printed pages, reading.
Jacob looks up, an easy smile resting on his face. Kevin realizes he caught his gaze, and immediately shifts his own down at his poor exam paper, cheeks tinging a shade of red.
Kevin is stupid, so stupid an idiot for falling in love with his best friend.
He places his phone on the page of the exam practice textbook and holds the spine up to cover it, typing out a message to the random stranger. He's not sure why texting the person is his first choice.
