"mingyu i swear, it's him! he's my soulmate, mingyu, i saw him, i felt it!" jihoon just can't stop shaking the boy in front of him. "then why didn't you stay with him, you idiot?" mingyu asks.

"because i was late for the exam!" jihoon shouts and sits back down, nothing but whines escaping his lips. this is all new to mingyu. jihoon is never the type to blush madly over the thought of someone and mingyu never expected that he'd live to see the day bright red color burns through the boy's cheeks. now he's convinced that jihoon really met his soulmate.

that night on their way back to the dormitories, mingyu decides that he should stop by jihoon's room first to talk and eat before heading home. as they walk, jihoon smiles upon thinking about the boy he met earlier and decides to look up at the stretch of a million stars right above them, like ornaments on a pitch black curtain draped over the sky. surely, these are the same ones his lover is looking at right now; these are the same ones that would be there in millions of years and somewhere between them, stories about him and his soulmate are written.

jihoon holds his hand up slightly as if he could touch the night lanterns, his fingers trailing over constellations that tell the secrets of the universe. "gyu, earth was boring before i met him. i never even thought that every piece of my being would be more in love and fascinated with the stars because he's definitely the most beautiful constellation i've seen."

"you still haven't met him fully and you're already this in love with him? damn this is crazy," mingyu says, a chuckle escaping his lips. "i never thought i'd see you become this happy though. seems like a good thing so i'm not against it."

the two boys enter the building and make their way to the tenth floor, last room to the left. "i wish we would pass by each other again and i swear i won't even let him go anymore," jihoon mumbles.

"are you really sure that it's him though?"

jihoon inserts the key inside the knob, "yes, it's him, mingyu. i just know it's him!" the door opens and the first thing jihoon sees is a boy looking out of the window, quietly listening to the stars sing their ode to the moon.

"it's him," jihoon whispers.

the boy turns to look and he gives him a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet. there's something about his smile; the way his eyes form perfect crescents, the way forces of motion fight gravity to pull up the corners of his mouth. the stars definitely went for a skydive this time to make their new home right there in jihoon's heart.

that is the first time jihoon ever saw his soulmate smile and he swears it feels like they've known each other for light years.
