So, they broke up. A while ago. Jihoon thinks he remembers it hurting for a while, a dull ache pulsing purple on the softest parts of his heart, but in time, he healed. They both took the heartbreak of their experience, packed it into a box and left it locked up in their respective closets, never to be looked upon. Old wounds that neither of them could afford opening up again. Or, that's what Jihoon had thought. Soonyoung never was one to get rid of old habits so easily.

Jihoon's got a starlit heart and a laugh that sounds like Saturn, and Soonyoung is painfully besotted. Or, the one where Soonyoung is a space / astrology enthusiast who's head over heels for his best friend.

to most people, the sun is up there, in the galaxy; big and bright, yellow and burning, more than a thousand degrees hot. to soonyoung, the sun is down here, too close but still too far to reach. he loved too deeply, and that was his catastrophe. but isn't better to have been burned by the sun than to have never flown at all? #6 08/25/18 published: 07/15/18
