Wonwoo had always liked stars; the way they shone and made patterns in the sky interested him and when he got a telescope for his seventh birthday he found himself gazing at them every night.

He had a space patterned duvet on his bed, glow in the dark stars and planets stuck onto his black walls to look like the night sky and way too many books on constellations and galaxies neatly lined up on his shelves. It was only natural, of course, that with his almightly obsession the next course of action was to make a whole tumblr account dedicated to space.

The blog hadn't meant to take off so quickly, but it had, and Wonwoo had started off reblogging a few pictures of nebulas and moons from the more popular space blogs, until he himself was one of the popular space blogs. He liked photography, as well, and taking black and white photos to edit stars onto was always fun but the best photos were taken when night fell and he climbed up onto his roof as soon as it got dark and took photos of the sky.

There was hope, happiness, in the stars for Wonwoo, something beautiful that amazed him and filled him with a sense of comfort every time he looked at the sky. He had fought long and hard with his parents over their choice of house when he was about eleven years old because he wanted a house with a skylight window. Now, at seventeen years old, he didn't regret the choice one bit.

It was summer, which meant shorter nights, which meant that the stars and the moon were hardly visible in the sky, and Wonwoo had nothing better to do than to stay in bed all day on his laptop and reupload old photos to his blog. His phone vibrated as a notification from tumblr popped up on his screen, announcing a new follower. His face lit up with complete and utter delight as his eyes scanned the notification, his breath hitching in his throat as a very familiar tumblr icon was displayed on his notification alerts.

Fuck. This couldn't be happening, could it?

The blog by the name 'plantbean' was one of Wonwoo's favourites. It was one dedicated fully to plants, and was definitely one of the most popular 'aesthetic' type of blogs on the entire website. He would honestly have been lying to himself if he had said he didn't stalk the blog, because he could honestly scroll through each of their posts for hours on end. Their photography was incredible; minimalistic and always of cute potted plants or garden leaves against tanned skin or tendrils of green vines against brick walls. Wonwoo had always wondered what the person was actually like in real life, because he had seen their throat and legs and arms and hands and hair from photographs they'd uploaded, but the actual face behind 'plantbean' was a mystery.

Wonwoo had 434,660 followers on tumblr, and 'plantbean' had a whole 469,000, (probably more since they posted the 'thanks for 469.000 followers' post two days before) which made the plant blog one of Wonwoo's aspirations as a fellow photography blog. Their blog had in fact been one of the reasons why Wonwoo had stopped only reblogging photos and moved to taking his own, because they always said on their posts how happy photography made them and how satisfied it made them knowing that people liked the plants they had grown themselves and the photos they had taken.

Still in a state of shock of sorts, Wonwoo was struck with even more disbelief as his phone vibrated once more, this time with a tumblr messenger notification lighting up his screen.

plantbean: wowowowowo ur blog is snazzy

Wonwoo held his breath, still doubting reality, and clicked on the message, opening up the new chat and typing in a new message and wishing he could have been born with better conversation skills. His phone vibrated again as soon as the message had been received.

starboy96: bye mutual fren to you too

Wonwoo fell back on his bed and smiled. He had successfully not only gained his first mutual, but his first mutual was also his favourite blog. On top of that, the sky was beginning to grow darker as the clock struck half past nine and Wonwoo's lunar chart said that there was going to be a full moon that night, and he the new lens he had ordered for his far too expensive digital camera had arrived.

Jeon Wonwoo was having one hell of a good day.
