the sound of footsteps
the sound of noise slowly disappears,
taehyun runs fast. its like he's almost facing the surface of an ocean, though his tears fell drown deep inside of him he knows there's a reason of everything.he remembered when he and kai were on the tunnel, when kai's head was laying down his lap as he read a book he hears a music that says "when you lose everything the sky gives you a meaning" when he started to have the world closer to him and now has let go.
actually, it was kai that let him go. kai has chosen the gray city over him and maybe its because he does not feel the same. taehyun dont want to think more, it hurts but its alright, he patch, the band aids are here, the memories are here even though it hurts to carry memories because it will stop him from moving on.
but taehyun's happy, he's happy he cried, not even looking clearly of the ground that's the rainbow he is passing and the stars that pushes him forward and to become himself. no light, dark or gray to tell where is he from, who is he and who should he be.
freedom.
but does he feel complete? something inside his chest is missing. how could it be when he found himself he lost his meaning? he said he wanted to live but he's a part of him. the tears in his eyes has completely blurred his vision, a sudden bump hit on him and he fell down the ground.
ocean, he could feel the water beside him and when he looked up—
oh
"a-are you alright?! please speak," he stared at his lips and notice the same color of it as his. he saved him from drowning.
taehyun breathes again staring at his face, its surreal its all like a dream but one thing for sure, it gave him a chance.
"my name is kai i-i saved you"
taehyun smiles,
what a world
what a world he now lives in again.
EXPLANATION:
okay so poppin' star is one really weird story y'all i apologize if it ain't yo cup of tea. its very confusing but LIGHT DARK GRAY CITIES are like heaven, hell and purgatory. people who confess at grays are given chances whether they can go on live again on earth again. i think what i wanted to push out in this is that people always labels being different as bad? people at dark city were people are controlled may it be their own feelings, mind or society. light city is well just happiness, that could ruin others happiness hence comes the GRAY's, its to fix things like as descripted.taehyun and kai were the first to find out that there could be another option between light and dark, to be bad or good or to be just labeled and its to simply be themselves in their safe place.
i cant really tell if kai likes taehyun back, you can think about it if you want but taehyun sure as hell liked him a lot. its the first time someone has shown him so many things more than fitting himself in a box, kai is different i think his character is love. taehyun found love.
taehyun is a star of course obviously, its the little thing that not most people appreciate but free. FREE, we are free but we feel prisoned.
when taehyun gave kai his bracelet it shows that light could have darkness, that love could have flaws, that kai is able to feel more than what people just wanted to see and when kai gave taehyun his necklace a star appeared on the dark city, its a little hope that brings out the shine of him.
and so he pops, he breaks free from everything he realized he wanted more and wanted more to see, though kai didn't came with him they encountered first love together.
the ocean in which where taehyun wakes up to is like a reborn, he borns again but this time with many more choices, its earth.
now what did he first saw? kai. yes thats also him and now hes have to relearn his love but this time with earth.poppin' star is just a lot lmao.
thank you so much for reading!! hope it didnt waste your time 💞
