Riki first met Sunoo under a sky full of stars, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of the moon. It was a small gathering on the rooftop of a friend’s house, a late summer night, the kind that felt like magic was lurking in the air. Riki had come for the thrill of it all, but something about the way Sunoo stood apart from the crowd, gazing up at the stars as if they were telling him secrets, made Riki pause.

“Why are you standing all the way over here?” Riki asked, his voice teasing yet curious.

Sunoo turned, smiling softly. “I like it better here. It’s quiet.”

“Quiet’s overrated,” Riki replied with a grin. But he stayed, standing beside Sunoo, letting the night settle around them.

They barely spoke that night, just exchanged a few words and quiet glances, but something about it left Riki feeling restless. Sunoo had this calm, almost dreamlike aura that made him feel…moonstruck. There was a part of him he didn’t understand, but he felt drawn to Sunoo, pulled by something he couldn’t quite name.

As the weeks passed, their paths crossed again and again. Riki would catch Sunoo at coffee shops or in the park, always surrounded by people but somehow distant, like he was lost in his own world. Eventually, Riki found himself sitting across from Sunoo at a small, cozy café, their conversation slow but easy, like they had all the time in the world.

One night, they ended up back on that same rooftop, just the two of them this time. The city lights sparkled beneath them, but Riki barely noticed. His gaze kept drifting to Sunoo, taking in the way the moonlight softened his features, making him look almost otherworldly.

“Do you believe in fate?” Sunoo asked suddenly, his voice barely above a whisper.

Riki blinked, taken aback. “I don’t really think about that kind of stuff.”

Sunoo smiled, looking down. “Me neither. But…I think some things are meant to happen. Like this. Us.”

Riki felt his heart stutter, a warmth spreading through him that he didn’t know what to do with. He’d never felt this way before, this mix of wonder and fear, like he was on the edge of something beautiful and terrifying all at once.

Without thinking, he reached out, taking Sunoo’s hand. Sunoo looked up, his eyes wide and full of a quiet, gentle surprise. They stayed like that, hands intertwined, the world falling away until it was just the two of them, surrounded by the stars and the soft glow of the moon.

“Sunoo,” Riki whispered, barely aware of his own voice. “I…I don’t know how to explain this, but when I’m with you, it’s like…like everything else just fades.”

Sunoo’s smile grew, his fingers tightening around Riki’s. “I feel it too.”

They sat in silence, the air filled with a sense of unspoken understanding. For the first time in a long time, Riki felt like he didn’t need to chase anything. Sunoo was right here, filling the empty spaces he hadn’t realized he had.

In that quiet moment, they both knew that something had shifted, something that felt as steady and beautiful as the moonlight surrounding them. They didn’t need words to explain it; they had each other, and that was enough.

And as the night drew on, under the endless sky, they held each other close, feeling a love that was gentle, unwavering, and as constant as the stars.
