Starry Universe

Description

When she looks up at the night sky of Seoul, and spots the tiny stars floating above, she suddenly remembers her high school days back in Daegu where she had left all the memories of the guy she used to call her stargazing partner behind. After a long while of ignoring the past and the what-ifs, she begins recalling every detail, every conversation and every moment of her teenage self who had experienced the very fine line between friendship and love - something she might have learned to embrace.

 

 

 

We loved, didn't we?

We did nothing wrong.

And yet, this universe isn't the same anymore.

 

 

 

 

 

Foreword

Prologue

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The stars are beautiful. They remind me of the people in this world. Some shine brighter than the others while some will forever live under their shadows. Some get all the attention while others are always hidden in the vast night sky. I like stars because they remind me of him. It's like I see the whole galaxy reflected in his eyes. He is just like those lights in the sky, smiling brightly at the people on this earth. 

 

We were seventeen back then. Young teenagers without hold or prospects. We were lost in the sea of dreams and fears. But we've found each other. He found me. He took my hand and loved me the way no one else could. We laughed and cried a lot. But although we loved the right way, although we were sure of each other and did nothing wrong, we didn't end up together. I can't take his hand in mine, and he can't press his lips on my forehead. We can't grow old together or lie down next to each other to count the stars. I always ask myself, why. Was it because I hadn't treated him right? Because I was selfish? Was it because I had let him go? Maybe we just weren't meant to be. 

 

Can we go back and live in our memories? 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places or incidents are used fictitiously, and the former does not represent idols' true personalities or lifestyles. I would appreciate it if you do not deem my characterizations of idols as the truth. In fact, I'm only using their names and their outer appearances for the story I create my own. Please keep in mind that your idols here are just characters and not the real personas. And I repeat, I do not believe I portray them accurately to their true personalities.

Chapter 17: This hurts my heart...It reminds me so much about my first love and I haha. And funny thing the drift in relationship was also because of distance and Instagram. I'm feeling so melancholic

Chapter 29: Just read the whole thing and it's now 2:30am.... Honestly this story deserves so much; i havent felt like this in a long time.... While I really rooted for woohyun and anjell, I knew that their paths would separate... Yet im still kinda confused on why exactly or what precisely compelled woohyun to suddenly cut off with no notice. If he cared more, perhaps he would have realized that his actions would hurt her more. They were both selfish. And that's what makes this so relatable. Thank you for this.

Chapter 30: HELLO THERE OMG. I was quiet a bit sad how their relationship ended, still, it was actually inevitable. I just kept on denying it to myself that they'd still try. Then there's a part of me that I've accepted it because reality dawned at me. That this fic reflects reality between a blurry relationship. Though, the ending made the readers think to what comes next because it was an open ending.

AND I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT YOU'D MENTION MY TWT U/N, MYUNGSPOUSE!!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I'm truly honored, you don't know how happy I am. I'm pretty much embarrassed because my friend and I were conversing about Starry Universe in our national language haha. Thank you for making this story! Truly, the long wait is worth it! :) Looking forward to your next story!

Chapter 30: Thankyou for the great story! :)
Unexpected but I love the fact you slipped some reality, and how the story looks like just an usual teenager falling love, lose hope, etc. :)

Chapter 29: Maybe it's because I started this story late but when I was reading this chapter, I remembered how Sunggyu texted Anjell during their first planetarium date too. And it's amazing how so much has changed over that span of time.
I was upset with Woohyun for suddenly disappearing and then choosing to appear again because I guess I had certain expectations of him despite his imperfections. I'm glad they managed to talk things through and have a proper closure and beginning. Thank you for this story!!
