seungmin and haneul took the bus as they started their journey towards haneul's home.
by the time they reached their destination, they still had to walk from the bus stop.the sky darkens as they resumed walkilng which was odd for the both of them since it was just eight in the morning.
little do they know, the sun was slowly being covered by a dim ball of shadow, making it seem like an eclipse would soon appear.as the couple went down the alley with seungmin's right arm resting on top of haneul's shoulders and the latter's left arm snaked around seungmin's waist, they passed by the coffee shop that they used to go to every morning when seungmin fetches haneul for school.
they soon realized that the path they're taking was too familiar that haneul shivers from the thought that came to her mind."love?"
"hmm?"
seungmin lowered his gaze at haneul which was looking at him with worry."aren't we gonna pass by that street? that one street th-that-"
"it's okay love. i guess, we can't avoid it. let's just walk quickly when we got there."
seungmin cut her off as he noticed that her girl hesitated in opening up that topic."are you sure?"
"yes love, i'm sure"
he smiled brightly with his eyes showing up a crescent shape to reassure haneul's worries.they were nearing the said street as they can see that stop light by the crossing, near a gothic store that screams emo and dark.
they reached the stop light and they had to wait for their turn to cross the street.
haneul's anxiety arises as they wait for fifty seconds for the stop light go green.50..

the wind suddenly blew hard, enough for the couple to stay close together and be alert. the trees' branches began to sway roughly past one another and the sun, it was fully covered by the moon.

woah.. an eclipse..
amidst the sudden chaos, haneul thought. she was staring intently at the eclipse.
