The lazy sun was peeking through the windows, it was a slow and regular day for the couple. The orange hues of the afternoon were peeking through the curtains. Yoohyeon was lazing on the couch while Damian was taking his shower. Yoohyeon, bored of the mundane shows on the television, was slowly dozing off. Her eyes slowly shutting off alongside the sun that is also sinking into hiding. She was on the verge of falling asleep when her phone rang and vibrated. She was jolted awake by the sudden notification. Her hair was all over the place, her clothes a loose fit, her eyes droopy, a perfect Sunday mess. Yoohyeon reached for her phone atop the coffee table, grunting in the process. The bright screen flared up as she unlocked it, her eyes squinting with a sudden burst of brightness. It was a message from the art department. 

"A contest? Exhibition? Art Gallery? Prize money?" Yoohyeon squealed in excitement. Her eyes lit up in excitement, in anticipation of the opportunity to show her talents.

Yoohyeon stood up as she can't contain her excitement with the opportunity presented to her. "This could be it."  She thought to herself. She rushed to where Damian is, peeking through the bathroom door.

"Hey babe~" Yoohyeon eagerly called.

"Yes?" Damian confusedly answered.

"I'm going to enter a contest! and I want you to help me later with it."

"Sure thing babe, just let me wash up first. Or would you want to join in?"

"Eh? Pervert."

"You're the one who's watching someone take a bath."

"Oh-" Yoohyeon sheepishly replied. "I'll wait for you outside then."

She closed the door and left Damian alone, rushing to her sketchbook. She drew rough sketches of ideas of what to paint and submit, from portraits to landscapes, to intricate pieces. She had dozens of ideas but nothing seems to click.

"How is it going babe?" Damian asked, coming out of the shower.

"Drawing blanks. Tried a lot of things already but everything feels off."

"Hmmm."

"Any ideas babe?" Yoohyeon blankly stared at Damian, pouting.

"Hmmm, in fact, I do have one. Dress up babe, we're going out."

"Huh? Just tell me." Yoohyeon replied as she stood up.

"Nah, it'll be better if you'll see it." Damian said as he grabbed the keys to the scooter.

"Ok then, surprise me." Yoohyeon replied as she went on to get dressed.

A 30-minute ride after and with the sun already in the hiding, the two arrived at the familiar spot. A place of great importance to them. A place of joyous memories and intimate moments. A place that they both cherish dearly. The same spot from before, where they all first got together, where the galaxy above lays atop them. Where all of its stars and splendor shine beautifully for them to be laid upon by the wistful eyes beneath it.

"Seriously, this place agai-" Yoohyeon's words were cut-off by awe and shock that she felt and permeated throughout her body.

"Yeah, I know." Damian smugly replied. "Remembered that tonight's one of the best nights to view it."

"You're the best." Yoohyeon exclaimed as she went on and hugged Damian. "This is why I love you." Giving him a peck on his cheek.

"Seriously? Not even because of my face."

"You flatter yourself too much, sweetie." Yoohyeon jested. "Your face is a part of your charm, don't worry."

"Is that even a compliment?"
