In space, there is you.

Description

[chansoo / friendship / fluff / 2935 words] Kyungsoo sees something magically wonderful come his way from afar and gradually, his eyes widen. A glowing whale is swimming towards him from amidst the stars. The animal’s large fins glide through the darkness majestically and its fan-shaped tail whips up and down in leisure. "What's your name?" The astronaut asks and the whale answers, "You already know." 

Foreword

I cannot believe EXO's Christmas album used the whale in space concept. It completely revived my obsession with whales and for two nights now, I saw them gentle giants swimming in my dreams. 

This story is inspired by one of those dreams and it just came to be. There really isn't any romance, but the story is built around Chanyeol and Kyungsoo's friendship. It's something I've always thought about writing and I guess this is as good as any time. Anyways. Astronaut, space whale, chansoo, just go read already.

Chapter 1: Read this a few yrs back, and it still gets me! It just seems so plausible with their schedules... and love your comments on their friendship. I originally read as a guest, so even though it's a few yrs late, I just upvoted! ;)

This pulls so many strings in my heart brb cryimg
I agree with everything youve written in the authors note. I love chansoo friendship with all my heart. Its so easy to say that i ship them because im delu but outside of fiction chansoos friendhip is legit one of the most heart warming things ever. I cant full on rant here and i cant even start because once i begin there defintely wont be an end to all my chansoo feelings. What im trying to say is that i ship them in all of my fics and the fics i read, i ship them and go crazy when they have interactions that are really intimate, but in canon, i believe that they are one of the closest members in exo and they really are best friends and they love each other very deeply. You know how people say that not all soulmates have to be romantically together? I feel like chansoo really are soulmates. Idc how many people cant understand that.....
Aaahhhh this was a really good read. Any canon fic involving the friendship and relationship of these two, especially chanyeols comment during that radio show.... I will never forget that sighs
I loved it when soo admitted he just needed to hear yeols voice, and when yeol admitted that he needed a bit reassurance from soo, and when they said they miss each other, and when yeol took the initiative to ask if soo loves him too.
Plus i love the space whale and astronaut space au. It fit really well plus it's a nice interpretation of loneliness. Huhuhuhu. This was a really beautiful fic so thanks sooooooo much for writing and sharing. Im so happy i read this.

This story has managed to put a smile to my face. It kind of hits home, with one feels like drifting apart from the other because of life and . Anyways, this is really cute. It was simple but impactful. I bow at your greatness! m(_ _)m

Chapter 1: This is what I feel, (thank god i'm not alone at this matter). I honestly say that I feel hurt whenever kyungsoo treat chanyeol coldly, but then I look at chanyeol who never missed mentioning kyungsoo's name in every occasion that means they are actually fine. Because it just kyungsoo being himself. And please, no one could love kyungsoo like chanyeol do. Not even us, I bet. So, yeah, hail chansoo!

Chapter 1: The fic ohmygawwwd... *rolls on the floor * feels feels feels!
And you're so right about other shippers bashing chansoo...I ing hate them! Hahaha, I know why they act like that, chansoo is the ship of all ships, and it's a threat tbh because it's so real. I don't see kaisoo shippers getting worked up about sekai or baekyeol shippers getting worked up about krisyeol and sebaek...why chansoo? Because *drum rolls* chansoo is real es!!

Chapter 1: I want to cry because i can actually picture everything that is happening. How much Chanyeol relates to the whale and Soo as the astronaut. I also see many similar comments about chansoo friendship or other shippers saying how much Soo dislike chanyeol. Like last time i checked, you aint even Soo. If Soo dislike Chanyeol that much, i'm sure he would be blunt enough just to let Chanyeol know. But he doesn't. He even claims that Chanyeol is one of his closest friend and how fast they got to know each other. They act like complete opposites but their bond when they first met has to show that they do understand each other and empathize with one another. THat's why they're so close. Chen even says it. Like idk how much people need or they just hate chanyeol. I don't get it. It irritates me because some shippers cannot take what they ship away from reality. Like you're really hating on someone because they're close with your so called otp? sljflkajsl.
But seriously this fic. My feels. I LOVE how Soo called Chanyeol just to confirm that they are still close. How he wishes to not drift away from Chanyeol. I know that time in the radio when Chanyeol said that, i'm pretty sure Soo also asked him the same question. Or reassure him they're still close- just they're both busy. Even in their showcase today. No one knew Ksoo name in the drama he acted and the only one that got the answer right was Chanyeol and Chen. It really proves who pays attention to him. Their friendship does things to me /cries. And when Chanyeol told Soo he loves him. lajdlkjlks. MY FEELS. Thank you for triggering my emotions.
