01. melancholy

winter was always bittersweet, the warmth of summer long gone and the life of nature slumbering for a number of months. if you were lucky then pure white snow would fall from the sky and blanket everything, settling the chaotic air with an eerie calm. it was beautiful, in a way, to only see the footsteps in the snow yet no signs of anyone nearby; the air undisturbed and peaceful.

with a small frown, the black haired figure continued walking in the snow covered park, lost in their thoughts as they continued along the hidden path. footsteps from the previous people mark the way. gentle flakes of snow fell from the sky and landed on the face of the figure, the small drops tickling their skin and sticking to their hair, slowly melting in the frozen air.

the wistfulness for humidity, the nostalgia for the summer sun, the freedom and light seeming like a distant memory. the frigid air and snow may bring serenity to the world yet it seemed that it drove people apart, the sidewalks empty and roads clear, only lone figures walking from place to place in search of warmth. the slumber of the land could only last for so long before everything started to decay, the yearning for the sun growing with each passing day.

it was beautiful, the white blanket upon the earth slowing life down and creating a certain type of peace. however, the grey skies and long nights did little to comfort a certain figure, one bundled up in black coat hurrying towards and apartment complex. if summer was euphoric then winter was pensive, the patient waiting for the sun to return once more, to bring warmth and life back into the world.​

02. hiraeth

soft laughter escaped from sanghyuk's lips when he stood in front of a random convenience store in seoul, the plain exterior had caught his eye because despite never setting foot in jayang-dong before, he knew this exact store. flashes of the storefront would accompany heartache throughout the years; nostalgia for a place so familiar yet so foreign to him.

moving closer to peer into the large window, sanghyuk would spot a black-haired man at the counter, casually flipping through a magazine while talking to someone else, presumably in the back. he could feel his heart yearning for whatever was in the store, the scent of petrichor filling his senses as he finally reached a hand to enter the store. despite finally getting answers to his burning question over the years, he still hesitated. everyone in the world knew about soulmates, the red string of fate, and everyone dedicated most of their time trying to find the person 'destined' for them. some could argue it was a load of shit, yet it was an undeniable fact of their world.

perhaps part of him didn't want to believe that he found the person that he could potentially spend the rest of his life with. that it was just a fluke. the pain in his chest seemed to argue otherwise, his impatient nature urging him to ignore any feeling of anxiety and to just walk through the door.

breathing out a heavy sigh he finally pushed himself forward, fighting the hesitation he still felt lingering in the back of his mind. the bells hanging above the door chimed sweetly causing the man sitting at the counter to look up. recognition was clear on his handsome face before he smiled, his back straightening from where he was hunched over.

"welcome." it was a simple utterance spoken with a rich tone, one that immediately calmed that storm roaring in sanghyuk's heart.​
