Ch. 5Fifth Chapter


“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.”

The other man smiles at the compliment he received. “Well, there is another paradise, waiting for you to find so that it could rise.”

“Do you know another place?” Taeil asks playfully.

“Your heart will find it. There will be various paths, but destiny will connect you with what is chosen for you.” Jaehyun stops for a moment and the latter waits curiously. “My paradise was here because that was fated by the destiny. But you are yet to find your fated paradise. Go and follow your fate, just like how moon follows its own which is earth.”

There were many things to process in a single statement of Jaehyun. Some were delighting, some were as mysterious that they seemed to be hypnotizing. But the thing Taeil felt needed to do the most was, “You really admire moon a lot.” He sprung a crystal ball from his pocket which seemed to have a moon figurine inside of it. “I have been collecting astronomic figurines but somehow I lost the rest and only this one got left. And I’m sure that it will stay secure with you more than me.”

Jaehyun takes the ball as a gleeful expression appeared in his features. “Now I got two moons following me.” He says and looks up at the artificial solar system structure. Taeil follows him and looks at the moon.

“Well, how about three moons? I mean, if I’m the moon and you’re the peach on the earth…” He turns his head back towards Jaehyun’s direction which didn’t have the sight of the said man anymore.

“Then I’ll also follow you with your every step.”

The pink sky during the sunset and the garden of peaches during the end of the winters were just as perfect as the geometrical degrees of a natural rainbow. The weather was breezy yet warm at the same time. It was giving the feel of the warmth of the fireplace during the mild winters. Pitch and perfect.

“Excuse me…”

A man with a sunshine toned skin turned behind and offers a brightening smile just like him. “Hey buddy.” He greeted the other man who happened to be just as bright and fluffy as an angelic rabbit. “Looking for someone as well?” The sunkissed man asked.

“I… Yes. Wait, are you also?” The latter asked in surprise.

“Lovely. How about we do it together?”

“Hello, gentlemen.” A new voice entered taking the both men’s attention. The high pitched voice surprisingly belonged to quite little and adorable man. He has an own kind of glow in his features which made him looks like a little moon on the earth.

“I was searching for someone but I didn’t expect it to be two.” The moon like man said fondly, seeming delighted with the sight of two men in front of him.

“The name’s Donghyuck.” The man with the sunshine touch introduced himself out of the blue.

“Dongyoung.” The bunny like man followed.

“May we have the opportunity to know your good name Mr. Moon?” Donghyuck and Dongyoung asked in unison and the other man in front of them giggles shyly at the nickname.

“Taeil.”

“It looks beautiful, just like you.”

“Yes, our Moon Taeil is just as beautiful as the glowing moon in the sky.”

Taeil chuckles at the compliment. “Thank you for your sweet words, Donghyuck and Dongyoung. Well, if I’m as beautiful as the moon, then you two are even lovely like the fluffy rabbit and blooming sunflowers.”

It has been hours since the three men met and the evening has turned into night. It was strange since they all had a habit of getting home before the dawn but that night was different. Different because they were not alone. Different because they had each other, they were together. And it felt just better.

The evening had started with them walking and random talking. The talk were somehow endless, they just had either a new thought or a compliment for each other every minute. As the sky turned dark, the three of them laid on the fresh grass right to each other and started stargazing together along with sharing random compliments, stories and even a glimpse of hidden feelings.

“It’s a little obvious…” Taeil mumbles in between the session of laughter. “It’s been only a few hours since we met but it feels as if…”

“As if we have known each other for years.” Donghyuck completed.

“Or maybe, ever since the day we were born.” Dongyoung reemphasized.

Taeil chuckles as he joined in, “Wouldn’t that be considered as connection than acknowledging if we feel like to know each other since birth?”

“And maybe we are connected with each other.” The sunkissed man mumbles.

Dongyoung agrees as he said, “It does feel like that.”

There was a moment of silence as the three looked at the sky hazily. The only thing that was audible was their breaths and their heartbeats which were somehow getting heavier and heavier with every second they spent with each other.
