❝i lay on my back, looking idly at the nightsky where specks of gold flickered.❞   

THE LATE NIGHT CALLS and text messages become more and more frequent, despite both of their busy schedules. whenever jeongguk gets stressed out from his work, long and heartfelt text messages from eunseo would always make everything better. and whenever eunseo has to study long hours in school, jeongguk would video call her while she's walking home to put her at ease. 

distance does make the heart grow fonder.

he finds himself missing her more than half the time, wishing to see her face-to-face again. every single day, whenever he has free time, jeongguk uses it to think about what he would say when he sees her again at the airport. it has only been a few months since she has left, but he believes that time will pass fast enough. 

maybe belief and trust is what they both have to hang onto.
