Through Sunsets and Midnights

25

The dusky moonlit sky accompanied by the calm and frigid wind passing right in front of them,

Keeping these two feeling warm and fuzzy are the blankets Chaewon found earlier in a drawer,

Minju has two on her right now,

One by her lap going down to cover her legs and one wrapped around her shoulders making her head the only thing in danger of getting cold,

Chaewon on the other hand was feeling quite alright with one just covering her chest,

The rest of her unbothered body feeling calm like the night they are starting to fall in love with due to its pretty ambience,

The shining stars, the big bright moon, the tall trees, the warmth they are both feeling just by knowing that,

They are with each other right in front of this very beautiful view of the night sky,

Full of stars and clouds making everything feel alright with just one single glance.

The vast variety of stars just differentiating from each other by how far or how bright they look from the human eyes,

Every single star differentiates from each other in a way you could never really know unless you give more attention to it,

To learn it for a couple of years or to simply research about what they could really be,

Minju thinks that Chaewon is similar to the starry night in front of them right now,

It being gorgeous and calm and fragile and endless,

The only thing that can really differ these two with each other is that the sky in front of them right now,

Is free and unrestricted from anything that can hold it back from covering the whole nation with its tranquility and radiance while they fall asleep,

Dreaming about how they could start the day after once they woke up,

And the sky Chaewon represents is still as beautiful and marvelous as the one they are looking at right now,

Yet she's trapped in some small jar only letting a certain amount of people see and know,

What there really is about her and her endless amount of stars wanting a chance to be known and shown off to other galaxies,

As big as Minju's personality.

Once you get to know Chaewon you'll know that her eyes hold a whole other universe,

A universe you could live in when she looks directly at you and the number of good things she has,

Overwhelms the bad stuff like storms and heatwaves all throughout the season,

Once you see the flowers bloom and the sky full of white and fluffy clouds on a good day,

You'll forget about the lightning and thunder she used to be overflowing of.

"Have you always liked the sky?"

Chaewon asked while she was downing half the cup of cocoa she has right in between her hands,

And to be honest, she didn't see that question coming out of anyone's mouth and most especially hers,

It's like a question you ask a kid you just met for the first time at a subway station your always taking the same train at always at the same exact time,

Yet here they are in the exact situation Minju's joking about inside her mind,

Maybe it's not a bad thing at all,
