Jaehyun couldn’t fall back to sleep since he’d woken up from his dream; a feeling of immense restlessness had settled in his stomach. He sat in the veranda and waited for the day to start.

Seeing the sunrise wasn’t new to Jaehyun. It was a hobby of his, especially whenever he was in a bind or two. Watching the start of the day always and somehow calmed him. There was just something poetic about it - the vision of the rising sun, it’s rays washing all of his worries away. His friends would about it but the male was undeterred.
