You can't spell space without ace (vkook)

You don't know nothing, just pretend you do

When you're young you think once you grow up you'll have it all figured out. You'll know what you're going to do, what you want for your life and who you are.

It's scary when you grow up and realize you know nothing, you're simply lost. And once you do grow up there will be tons of people around you either telling you what you should do or who you should be, and if they are not straight up telling you that, they are speculating about it.

Jeongguk allowed people to take over his life for a while, it was easier that way, but sometimes you have to take a grip of it yourself and take control.

He did that by applying to the college post-graduation course he wanted to do, instead of doing the one his father told him to do. He also did that by allowing himself to figure himself out and it was surprising how that somehow changed him inside.

"Holy shit." Jeongguk whispered to himself as he scrolled thru Tumblr.

He was sitting at the couch, all alone in his house and that was the perfect time to keep on with his self-proclaimed "research" about himself.

"Holy shit." He repeated. "I am loving this."

Jeongguk stumbled across an asexual post about space and saw a tag beneath it that said space ace and look beside the point he is all in for puns, he is also all the fuck in for space.

He is such a space nerd. Both his phone and laptop backgrounds are space, he loves sitting outside just to look at the stars, he loves both Star Wars and Star Trek because "space!!!!!!", his favorite parts of Guardians of the Galaxy are the scenes where they show the actual galaxy, he would gladly take part of any NASA plan about sending people to space, like you want to colonize Mars? Jeongguk is here for it. If he was smart enough he would love to work for NASA like holy shit how cool would that be?!

So once he read that tag and clicked on it he discovered a whole new world.

Okay he might have been a little dramatic over it but c'mon its space, who doesn't love space? And discovering the asexual community had a term like space ace for the asexuals space loving nerds made him the happiest thing on earth.

He was very excited about knowing this part of himself now. It was easier to look at the world with a clear sight of why he felt so different from his friends and family. It made him wish he knew about it sooner because that would avoid all the doubts and worries he had once he was younger.

But that was in the past, he was now as content about this as he could be and the more he found out about it, the more he loved it.

He had stumbled across the ace flag earlier that week and he swears being ace is his fucking destiny because the flag is formed by four different stripes of colors: black, gray, white and purple and Jeongguk never thought he could love a flag this much but he does. He is not a very colorful guy, always wearing either black or white and on some occasions some gray because its neutral, but one color that always caught his eyes was purple.

He always thought it was such a nice color and even if everything he own was mostly black and white, purple occasionally made an appearance because he really liked the color.

So that precious flag was like one of the most beautiful things Jeongguk ever saw. His whole life was screaming ace positivity now and he was so glad for it. So glad for embracing it all so fast because he had been feeling off for so long and now it all made sense and he was happy to be able to identify with that.

Maybe he was being a bit over the top with it all but fuck it, he was happy so that's all that really matters.

He was basically rolling on the couch from laughter after reading another terrible but funny as shit ace joke once the front door suddenly opened, making him scream.
