The stars are so pretty I don't understand why people don't find it interesting to look up at the sky and wonder what's up there. I find it mesmerizing I live in an apartment with rooftop access through a window and climbing a balcony but it's worth it I love sitting up there staring at the stars.

I reached the roof I heard small mumbles of words and rocks being thrown in a rhythm pattern I finished climbing hiding behind a vent since I'm short it worked perfectly I listened to the rhythm of the person throwing them.

It stopped abruptly "I know someone's there I heard you run whoever you are come out right now or I'll come over there myself" a man yelled angrily I stepped out putting my hands up to show I surrender and I'm no threat he puts a rather large rock down "Geez kid you scared me" I put my hands down slowly.

I should leave before he-... "What's your name? I'm Hyojong or E'dawn" he questioned me "I...um my name's Ling Zheng o-or Chihun Y-yoon Chihun" I stuttered over my words E'dawn hummed.

"what are you doing up here at the time?" I didn't have an reason for it other than, "I liked the stars and it's not that l-late though" I fidgeted with my fingers he sighed "It's 4am the sun's gonna rise and don't you have school?"

I looked over the wall to see the sky lighting up with streetlights  but the sun isn't up yet just lighting up the sky I heard keys jingle I watch E'dawn  unlock the roof door I asked "Your the one with the keys" I pointed at him, he turned and nodded at me he opened it "Come on I can tell you haven't eaten in awhile your all skin and bones" I lowered my head walking through the door listening to him shuffle behind me and lock the door.

(Edawn's POV)

The walk down the was silent I hate silence Chihun was nervous I could tell from how fidgety he was, I pulled out my keys to open my apartment door "It shouldn't take too long for me to get you something to eat" I went quickly over to my kitchen it was small and clean "By the way what school do you go too?"

I questioned him I heard the door close and soft footsteps "I-i go to Chanju-do high school" I nearly dropped the eggs "T-thats the same school I teach at" he nodded I looked over at the clock we have thirty minutes to leave my apartment I sigh cracking the eggs into the pan I looked over at Chihun he was staring at my keyboard "Can you play?" he nodded not saying anything I sighed again "Chihun-ah do you think I'm going to hurt you or something because I would never do that you're quite cute"

I continued cook I heard the keys on the board start playing in a familiar rhyme of the song I wrote for my ex-girlfriend who left me because she had cancer she's currently still in the hospital her treatment is apparently doing great but I don't really want to get back together with her I hummed along with the rhythm I continued to cook food for the small boy in my apartment.

I felt a tug on my jacket "Yah! hyung we don't have much time just let me do it" he pushed me slightly I moved away and watched him cook the eggs he flipped it over I patted his hair he froze holding the pan above the stove before moving over to the plates and dumping the eggs on it I grabbed chopsticks from the drawer next to him giving it to him he started cutting the eggs.

"I'm not really hungry so you can have the rest" he finished cutting it in half he shoved the hot eggs into his mouth fanning his mouth as steam rolled out his mouth he swallowed it the steam leaving his mouth "Aigoo I have to go grab my bag and get going" I grabbed the fork out of his hand and picked up the rest of the egg he watched me for a bit I grabbed his jaw he flinched I opened his mouth and fed him the egg I let go of his jaw.

I dropped the fork "I'll follow you since we're going the same way so I'll head to your apartment with you" he finished chewing before nodding he stood quite fast I followed him out grabbed my bag, and trench coat before locking the door and following him down the hall towards his parent's apartment.
