Seonghwa roamed the friendly neighborhood, feeling the afternoon sun's warmth and glow on his skin. He notices a cat that sent him a moment of déjà vu, but he crossed his arms and breathed to himself, of course only dismissing it after giving it a smile.
He walked past an electric post with a low-hanging wire, through a seemingly invisible border, but never minded his lingering déjà vu.
Seonghwa continued to hum to himself to think of what to eat for dinner.
Hongjoong was on his way to his studio after working out some things with his friend, Jongho. The younger apologized, and Hongjoong was taken aback with the initiative. Though the sorry was flimsy, Hongjoong was more than welcoming even though he was still pushed away from wanting to hug.
These days too, he's been looking for someone to perform with, but he couldn't see any candidates. Some of them had distaste for his music, and some were too arrogant... which was just the same.
Either way, Hongjoong was itching to perform.
The sun dipped deeper into the horizon that he can't see as shielded by the city buildings, but Hongjoong wholeheartedly looks forward to it with an arm reaching out. To the next day hoping it'd only take a short time to find...
Things will get better.

That uniform would choke me.
San continued to stare out without much change in expression. His usual demeanor was even darker today. Baggier eyes, slouched back, and lips slightly agape breathing out the freezing car conditioned air, giving away evidence of the heavy thinking blanketing his whole being.
San's not exactly wasting his time demising as he can't dive into it anyway. He's tracing his habits, his reasons, his activities, and he's only finding out it wasn't... his. This weighing hold in the same space anchors him down. Then his gaze would sometimes switch to his own reflection in the car window, which he hated the tiring sight of, and would quickly dismiss it by continuing to watch the seemingly moving outside and the nearing sight of his new school ahead.
Twilight was dawning, and his resolution was growing clearer by each tree touched by it's light. It all brightened the color his eyes shone.

Yunho walks around in the night-fallen city, but lights from everywhere prevented the stopping of the display of life. This city refused to be reigned with dullness every time.
He has breezed through his house chores this night too so he can head out to his frequently-visited dance studio. The customer's rush in a walk wasn't affected by his sty patch whatsoever. His glee about just blasting music and moving to it was much more exciting.
Across the bustling streets was the park. A quiet place to take a night stroll in, and a nice place to sit down and think, like what Mingi has been doing since he got out of school in the afternoon.
The guy has been writing his lyrics all alone.
San, walking around, notices a guy with the same uniform as what he'd supposed be in later too.
People in a new place are either the people they want to be by starting again, or the people they don't want to be by throwing all of that here.
A thought tugs at San from approaching the new guy, but as he took hold of his own fate just moments ago, he wanted to go with doing so until the end.

Staring out into the dimming sky, darker, don't clouds stay light and the sky is the one that turns darker?
Yeosang loved the moonlit outside. The space he creates while observing it was the highlight of his every evening.
His moon attraction wasn't there, but he still loved that it takes the center among the stars.
The glistening things above and beyond the window makes me think of what kind of person I want to be
The ticking I hear helps fan the fire, I can't stop, not anymore
Everything's new, all's so unfamiliar but I'm facing it anyway
Don't be afraid, hold onto yourself tight and let's open our eyes

Wooyoung wakes up in a warehouse. He wasn't done restoring his parents' possession, but he was determined to spice up the place. A place which hasn't been warmed for a while.
"Am I awake enough to start my day this early... or maybe the question is did I sleep enough," Wooyoung groggily talked to himself, yawning afterwards.
The strong sunlight peeking through the dark suggested the first option as the 'closest' answer as it's still wrong... it's not early in the day at all.
A moth flies up too close to Wooyoung's face and flutters itself by his lips, making Wooyoung freak out and try to spit it away. From afar, one would see his body language expressed a traditional, but frantic dance while sitting, making it more chaotic. After making sure it was gone, Wooyoung props himself back onto the couch and breathes out.
The event jolted him with his just-charging-up energy he didn't know he already had. "I need to clean this place pronto."
So Wooyoung jumps up from his seat, compliments how strong his thighs are for cooperating well, and opens a window to let some sunlight in. He goes to a mirror just left of it.
He'd notice first the two manhwas stacked on the floor and adds to the resolution of needing to tidy up after also almost tripping on a wire.
Wooyoung studies his reflection. He made not much of a judgment seeing he was just as dashing as he remembered, just a wash with water and he'd be set.
With that simple plan, Wooyoung jumps several times to wake himself up more and makes his way to start his day.
Things will happen as long as you keep moving forward.

(a long) A/N: (... if I may, I'll call this "Uyu's Note" hoho so U/N*)
Thank you for reading! I sincerely am thankful, I do not expect any readers at all, but to those who got up to here without skipping parts, those who'd leave comments (or have left comments, idk if I'll edit this later ><), and to ghost readers, thank you~
I'd appreciate comments of course! Not only would it make me happy, but really, let them all out (maybe I should've said this at the start). Not everyone has your thoughts, so share them as much as you want ^^ my brain is full of mine so I'd appreciate something different now pls thanku
That last sentence I left, it's the same energy as that quote from Yunho, about finding the treasure but how can you if you're not moving (from that HoHong vlive with the neon ho and pink hong).
And before I leave this book be, I'd like to spark an active reminder!
Just like au!Hongjoong's active attraction towards what he's meant to go to/be, just keep going, Atiny~
With the things that you're doing, support and be kind to yourself no matter what. Never give up! 🔥 Ateez always reminded me that "your efforts won't betray you," and that is true. I personally believe that's the answer to why try and do! Cheer up!
Okay, to wrap this up, I'm willing to answer some confusion if anyone would like clearance on what happened on any chapter. Then I'll publish the answers once I gather enough questions~
💕💕 Have a good day and God bless youuuu
