Ch. 4Fourth Chapter


“However, it’s been declared that the moon is not a planet anymore. It is a satellite of our planet earth as it spins around it. Therefore, our solar system consists of eight main planets as of now. So, are we clear now?”

Everyone in the planetarium hall nods in agreement at the host’s explanation while Jaehyun just smiles and remains still in silence.

“Alright then we are finished with this session. It was really great to have you all here. Take care and keep stargazing.” The host finishes the session as everybody starts bidding their farewell and exiting the hall. Except one certain man, Jaehyun.

“But still, my most favorite planet is moon.”

The host turns his head towards the direction of the voice to meet the very strange yet very familiar and surprisingly, very fascinating man. “Well that is your favor but that cannot change what is truth.”

“But what if the truth is in our favor?” The stranger exclaims and the planetarium staff must admit that the voice of the unknown man sounded even harmonizing closely.

“Maybe it is, but just not for everyone.”

“Maybe it is for everyone, but just not in the same ways.” Jaehyun converts the host’s comment making the latter chuckle.

“Then guess for me the way is quite long.” The latter says, wondering.

“The longer it will be, the warmer it will be. And I can feel that there is not much distance left. You are so close. We are so close.” As soon as Jaehyun’s lips left the last lines, the other man makes an intensively surprised expression which made his eyes shine even more than they already were.

It was not just the eyes though, the man himself was glowing like a little form of moon existing on the earth. The glimmering skin of his, his rosy and thin lips. Everything about him just seemed so full of gloss. The only thing that was staining that human moon was the broken emotions that were hidden deep down behind the humble smile of his.

The man blinks for a few times before saying, “We are technically close as we are standing right next to each other. But still, it feels good when someone relates you with them.” He then smiles a little as he continues, “It feels good when you relate me with you.”

Jaehyun smiles back at the latter and replies, “I’m not someone who makes relations, I’m someone who chases relations. I treasure what is fated. I treasure beings that are related. I treasured you.” Jaehyun looks at the man in the eyes and the latter lowers his head, averting his gaze and hiding the blush on his face.

“So you’re saying that you don’t like interacting with new people?” The host asks still keeping his head low.

“I’m saying that every interaction has a purpose. Our interaction has a purpose. And many reasons, which will be unwrapped soon, during a chosen season.”

The reaction the moon like man had was representing multiple emotions. At some points, it he seemed delighted with knowing that there was hope for him to interact with people. But at the same time, he seemed sad as if these scenarios will also end up like a daydream like every other dream he had.

But mostly, he was amused by words of this lovely stranger. “I am not sure if our interaction has a purpose or not, but it sure has me happy.” He says as a wide smile appeared on his face. “Anyways, may I know why moon is your favorite planet?” He asked, highlighting the word planet.

“Because moon is the only one, which follows never leaves earth’s side, and follows it with its every step. It never leaves my side and follows me with my every step.” Jaehyun answers and another expression of amusement appeared on the other’s face.

“Gosh… I never thought about it this way. You really have an admiration towards moon.” The man chuckles and a tint of blush reappear as he goes on, “It’s a strange coincidence that…”

“You yourself are a moon.” The latter completes as the host nods shyly.

“And since you already got the moon, the name is Taeil.” Taeil introduces himself and waits for the other’s turn.

“Jaehyun.”

Just like Jaehyun’s words, his name was giving Taeil strange yet delighting feelings. There was something about his name, as well as himself. Something he could not clearly describe. But he purely feels. “Such a lovely name for a lovely man.” It was true. Jaehyun has to be loveliest person Taeil has ever met. “Well, while your planet is moon, my favorite planet is earth. Not because it is followed by the moon, but because…” The reason was going to be strange but sweet, just like the entire event the both men experiencing. “It has peaches. I never been really fond of the said fruit but somehow my heart feels like to yearn for it. Maybe it’s because they’re just sweet as you.” Taeil amuses at his own statement.

“There are many other elements, which your heart will yearn for even more.” Jaehyun starts and the latter seems confused. “Nature consists of many things which are just as sweet as peaches, and maybe even more. If the sweetness of peaches makes you happy then there is other elements’ greatness which will make you happier. If interacting with me makes you happy, there are people, who will make you the happiest.”

Taeil actually wanted to argue Jaehyun the very first time he said that he considered moon as a planet but his charms had taken over him that time. But this time and this certain statement was literally enough to argue with the latter for real this time.

“But being one of the reasons of your happiness is like being in paradise.” Jaehyun adds before the other could start his act.

And the words melt the host’s heart that he forgets his previous thought. “It’s always been empty here after session but your presence made this place as well as my heart warmer. So it’s you, Jaehyun, who made it feel like a paradise.”
