taehyung loved the stars.
the silver sequins like scattered embers of a dying fire, burning dazzling white, illuminating the dark taurpaulin stretched over the world.
they burnt with a bright pallor of an electric light, yet as far from electric as something ever could be.
terming him an astrophile was perhaps, an understatement of his love for the glittering heavens.
the silver beauties were like home to him, a sense of warmth in the bitter cold, a promise of life within the darkness.
for Taehyung had no home except for the one under the stars.
he lived in a house, yes, a mere structure of bonded bricks and cement. yet such a bond was nowhere in the place.
his family, for the want of a word, for it didn't feel like family at all, had rifts more than he knew, shattered orbs for eyes not matching their fake, happy smiles. it was a family he was not familiar with.
it was a nightmare living in a place where he was considered an accident, a mere disturbance, for he didn't live upto their expectations.
it was he who was wrong always maybe it was their fault to ever consider him as their son.
it was suffocating and Taehyung wished to break free.
when he felt the darkness "pressing in" on him, Taehyung didn't let it overpower him he embraced it. he made the darkness his best friend, for he knew with the darkness came dawn, and under the night skies he could find his freedom.
there was light in the dark as Taehyung saw the stars, loving the way they twinkled; whispering something ears couldn't hear. his heart heard it all, the sweet nothings that told him to stay strong to keep going.
the loneliness had been so cold, his tears frozen into ice. the abyss sucking him in, taking over him as a parasite. and thus the stars became his paradise.

Short first chapter hehe, but it's to set the mood of the story, and in this form longer chapters are hard to write.
