Taehyun likes the sun.

He likes to bask in the heat that hits his skin and glows bright that blinds him a bit. With the cool morning breeze, it's the best combo he could ever take in his daily routine for his day offs.

As a call center representative who handles a 24/7 account, having a graveyard shift isn't a surprise. Taehyun leaves his house in the evening and steps out of the office with the sun down, barely meeting the natural light that the sun emits in his daily life.

With his repetitive routine that is deemed as the reverse for a normal way of living- which is waking early in the morning to get to work, Taehyun couldn't really complain. The pay was good, the onsite building was 20 minutes away from his apartment, and it has a good working environment. Plus, he's been there for years since he started college. It was his first job, his first part time so he can fend for himself.

Despite all those, he can't help but miss the sun. The responsibility as an adult- no more reason to take it as part-time, prevents him from seeing the morning sun and only manages to feel the heat when he (unwillingly) works overtime and of course, on his days off.

His offs were random days. He sometimes gets his rest day in the middle of the week, sometimes on weekends. More often, he gets it on a separate day for a slight transition to his tiresome schedule.

It was stressful. Taehyun admits that. Being the team leader tires him more than being an agent, more as to why he wanted to apologize to his younger self for complaining in his earlier days for being a simple customer service agent who is more likely the receiving end of all the stress in the world.

Hence his built hobby on his days off. He jogs to destress. He runs around to get enough exercise from sitting for too long in a whole week, and of course, to stay healthy so he won't faint from his depleting health from the lack of sleep, trying to maintain his sanity intact by unwinding.

But the real sole reason for that was to meet his beloved sun.

Jogging early in the morning became a habit. A habit that he admittedly loves. He gets to meet the sun and see his surroundings in a better lighting (the lamp posts every night are beautiful but it still gives off a different vibe). He can clearly see the wild dry, browning grass in the park, people in their coats and kids in their uniforms as they cross the streets. The lively mornings in the wide city he lives in, also changing its tone and color at every different season as the sun gives it a different glow.

The beauty of the world in a different light in different times.

For Taehyun, the sun is love, and love depicts each season- his second most favorite. The one that gives justice to the scenery, to his sight.

And the season that holds a significant meaning for Taehyun as it reminds him of people, particularly the people he loves and loved.

Like how the sun shows the intensity of love while the season portrays his lover. It has always been like that for Taehyun. And his memories of finding his sun was clear and memorable. Something unforgettable.
