jihoon squatted down among the maze of thick bushes and cradled his small figure in the lushes of green.
picking on a stray dandelion that grew on the ground, he realized that it was turning night time soon and before leaving, jihoon blew the dandelion strongly, hoping his wish could come true.
'soonyoung, where are you?'
while walking back, jihoon embraced the cool winds that caressed his cheeks and carried some stray leaves along with it.
when he had reached the city area, it was still buzzing with life as everyone scurried around to finish their tasks before retiring back home for the day.
the wings that were attached on everyone's back seemed to still interest jihoon even though he was already here for a year. he himself had one of the most beautiful wings, grand and wide.
unlike the rest, jihoon always chose to travel by foot and everyone who whizzed past him greeted the young male with a friendly wave or greeting.
jihoon stepped into the small apartment he lived with a friend he got to know of when he came here. that friend was incredibly silent when jihoon first met him but now he was yelling out the lyrics to some song he came across in the music store from the center of the city.
his deep voice suddenly halted its singing. "hoon, you're home?" he asked, the sound of sizzling resonated in the small room.
"yes wonwoo, when's dinner going to be ready?" jihoon cracked his knuckles and proceeded to set down the cutlery on the table.
--
"jeehoon, you know a new guy cam up heer tooday, he is mingoo?" saying between bites of food, wonwoo asked while attacking the small piece of meat on his plate.
jihoon grunted at the disgusting behaviour of the other male then shaking his head in reply. "why?"
"he's hot," wonwoo giggled then slapped jihoon hardly to show his bashfulness. choking, the smaller male glared at the other.

resting on the handmade hammock that was tied flimsily to two poles, jihoon stared up to the pitch black sky.
"soonyoung, we aren't even looking at the same sky," the male muttered between the puffs or warm air.
getting off the cloth, jihoon stared down from his apartment to be greeted by a bed of beautiful stars adorning the ground in jihoon's world with small bright dots.
"are you looking at the sky right now? it's our fifth anniversary. we always stargazed at mount halla since we visited seungkwan in jeju every year," the male whispered softly to himself, not noticing the tears gradually slipping down his face and splashing on the ground he saw metres away from him.
it was a year ago on their anniversary. they were crossing the road, hand in hand and engrossed in their mindless chatter that revolved around which chicken place should they order take-out from.
"kyochon?" jihoon tossed out another idea, snuggling into the taller's warmth. soonyoung shook his head and stated that pa dalk would be a better choice.
"let's g-" jihoon wanted to say, before a loud blaring interrupted his words and a pair of headlights shone brightly at the both of them.
hurriedly, the short male shoved soonyoung aside and when he wanted to run away. his body was hit by the car and his body landed a distance away.
