Geonhak couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe how his boyfriend of three years had cheated on him. He gave Lee Seoho his heart and what did he give him in return? Pain. Sadness. Loneliness. Heartbreak. All Geonhak could do everyday was lay in his bed too empty to even cry anymore. He stared at the wall for hours on end covered in blankets oblivious to the world around him. Time still of course, moved on. But he stayed the same. He couldn't move on. All he could do was remember all of the time he spent with Seoho and how much he had loved him. But apparently, Seoho didn't return that love. His heart belonged to Lee Keonhee. Geonhak felt as if he would never move past his pain. One week, two weeks, one month, two months. And nothing changed. One night though, something different happened. He was laying in bed as usual when he heard someone outside. At first he didn't even notice since he was so deep in his thoughts and depression. When he finally noticed, he realized that the person was singing. It was about 12:00 am so he was confused. Why would someone be singing so early in the morning? As confused as he was, he couldn't help but notice that whoever was singing had a very beautiful voice. It was low, yet gentle. Quiet, but powerful. After a few minutes of arguing with himself, he decided to get up and look out the window to see who it was. He slowly sat up and walked over to the window. He opened it and immediately felt the chill of night air and he felt a shiver run down his spine. Geonhak didn't know where the singing was coming from so he looked around for a few seconds before his eyes landed on a small boy sitting atop of the brick wall across from his window. He was small with dark brown hair. He also looked pretty young so Geonhak guessed that he was about 20. He had his back against the building attached to the wall he was sitting on and he was staring up at the stars as he sang. After he listened for a few seconds he realized that he knew the song. It was Regulus by ONEWE. This was one of his favorite songs as it had comforted him so many times after he found out about Seoho.

The boy continued to sing oblivious to the fact that Geonhak was listening to every word he sang. He looked down at the boy as he sang and he realized how pretty he was. His eyes sparkled in the starlight and he had such a young and innocent look to him. Suddenly, the song was over and the boy had stopped singing. Geonhak didn't notice for a few seconds because he was too caught up in looking at the boy's pretty face. When he realized what he was doing he immediately stopped not wanting to be looking at the boy without his knowledge or permission. He quietly closed the window and slipped back into his bed. He fell asleep after a few minutes his thoughts filled with the beautiful boy whose name he didn't know.
