UNDER THE SAME STAR
What if the person you were meant to love was born under a different star?
Janus lives on Saturn, a distant world where the nights are endless and the stars are the only things that seem willing to listen. He has learned to keep his feelings to himself, finding comfort in the silence of the universe and in the familiar light of Spica, the star he talks to every night.
Until one night, he sees her.
Vindemiatrix-Vindi-lives on Mercury, a world completely different from his own. She is restless where he is quiet, warm where he is cold, and impossibly far away.
They should have nothing in common.
They should never have met.
And yet, somehow, Janus cannot stop looking for her.
As the distance between Saturn and Mercury becomes the distance between what Janus feels and what he can actually have, other people enter his orbit. Some offer him companionship. Others offer him affection. Some remind him what it feels like to be close to someone.
But how do you let go of a love that never really had the chance to begin?
Between stars, planets, eclipses, and countless nights spent looking at the same sky, Janus will discover that not every love story is meant to end with two people together.
Some are meant to change you.
Some are meant to hurt.
Some are meant to illuminate the darkest parts of your sky before disappearing.
And sometimes, loving someone means learning when to stop waiting.
Under the Same Star is a story about impossible love, distance, longing, and the quiet process of letting go-without pretending that what you felt was never real.
Because even when two people live worlds apart...
they may still be looking at the same star.
