Waking Up the Satellites

It started with a kiss, one that wasn't supposed to happen, in a dorm room that wasn't supposed to feel like home. He told himself it meant nothing. That it would vanish like most things do in the blur of college days and unspoken feelings. But some moments leave a mark. Some people become satellites, quietly orbiting long after they're gone.

So he wrote it down. A confession meant for no one. Just a signal flung into the dark, because he had no one to tell and nowhere else to go. But someone picked it up. Then everyone did. And suddenly, the boy who spent his life hiding became a headline. A heartbreak. A star collapsing in public view.

Still, somewhere out there, the satellites are listening. And maybe, just maybe... one of them is him.

Inspired by the love story of Nikko and Mikko from Uno RecoLeaks.
