❛❛we wrote a fairy tale, its name, Eclipse❜❜
A story of a paralyzed girl, and an ephemeral boy, who were only able to meet at night and starting from silly conversations they became the light in each other's darkness.
But no one knew where he came f...
I cuddled myself up with Haechan's blanket, my tears soaking his pillow, anxiety pumping in my heart.
"Em...you wanna spend the night here or should I drop you at your house?" Haechan whispered into my ear, softly.
"I'm fine...." I muttered under my breath, he was about to walk away, when I held his wrist.
He slowly turned back and I said,"You never saw him did you?"
"Emmmmm....." he placed his hands on his hips. "If this Moon was your imaginary friend and came back after such a long time, I swear to God, it'll be a real life horror film."
I chuckled and he smiled at me, shuffling some of my hair,"you are an absolute idiot Em"
"Yeah....right...." I sarcastically replied to him.
"I'll be back in a minute.." he said, then walked out of the room.
I pulled the blanket above my face, my upper body shaking a little, as I gripped the sheets tighter.
Please dont disappear. I don't know what I'm going to do without you.
I laughed at myself a little, believing on the same Haechan who had once asked me to jump from a tree, dyed my hair pink, got me into trouble from bunking class,
The same Haechan who crashed... The same Haechan who I can perhaps never forgive...
I didn't realize I was staring at the blanket, my limbs freezing, eyes bleeding with tears. I heard footsteps come into the room, and I swiftly brushed my tears away.
Haechan whispered,"If I scream in the middle of the night because of you sleeping like a mummy, dont blame me.." He said and laid himself beside me on the bed.
We were quiet for a really long time, thinking about the days which have passed by, how much we have left behind when suddenly, Haechan's weak voice spoke up.
"You know Em....I still think about it..." He whispered, his voice teary.
"Dont..Haechan don't..." I gripped his arm tightly, I wasn't ready for the truth he was about to spill, the incident he was about to rewind, I will never be ready for it.
"I am so sorry."
A pause, then a sharp inhale.
"I have been feeling guilty for all these times, how I have hurt you so much...I am such a bur..burden...." He was choking at the end of his sentence, and I was too, trying to gulp my tears.
"You dont have to..." I gripped his hand even tighter.
"I'm sorry Em...I didn't mean to, I could never hurt you, it was all my fault."
"Our stars...Em...OUR STARS.." Moon's voice echoed in my head.
"Stars...." I found my lips murmur.
"What?" He turned at me, tears caressing his cheek.
"Look at the stars when you feel broken Haechan, look at how they shine with all their light in this vast sky...."
He remained speechless, staring at the ceiling like I did.
"You...you are the Sun...Haechan..." I whispered. "You can't dim your light now can you?"
He hugged me, mumbling,"God, you are so random..."and I slipped my arms around him, as his tears were wetting my shoulder.
"Sorry..Em.."he whispered into the crook of my neck.
"Say that again I'm gonna punch you!" I giggled and ruffled his hair.
"That speech you gave, did you mean I'm a light bulb?" He raised his head, flashing a grin at me.
I fired a punch at his gut yelling,"Its literally your name you Idiot! Your middle name should have been stupid."
He gasped, rolling dramatically on the bed, yelling,"Man down! Man down!" as I stared at him, judging him.
"Our stars..." Those words flashed in my mind again, and I realized how much he had taught me...
He was my Everything...
But,
Moon did not come this night....
I somehow felt, the more I learnt to believe in myself, love myself, he seemed to slowly fade away....
