Leeteuk’s POV

Starry, Starry Night.

I stare outside the window. Darkness, the kind of darkness darker than black that suffocates you. This is how gloomy and pathetic nights look like. In this endless darkness, I could sense the loneliness that has been living in my body for years.

“Appa?” Sound of turning the knob of my room, where an innocent figure appears.

I turn over from my window whilst shutting the curtains, there he is. 

“Appa, It’s storytime. You told me you would read me a new story!”

I fixate my eyes on his soft face, that kind-hearted soul that I have been searching for years in myself. Long has the vicissitudes washed that innocent soul in me. 

“Appa!”

I am once again brought back to reality. Days ago, I promised my son to talk about a story that I have been wanting to share for long. 

Promise, I shockingly realise, that it is such a formidable word to slip out from my mouth. Behind that simplistic word hides thousands of burden. It is only a white lie to deceive you, a momentum to keep you going on alone. 

I pat his back and shove him to my bed. He is there, lying on the pillow peacefully, waiting for his father to tell a story.

I discreetly take out the book and touch on the silver lining. Years had passed, but this book never fails to appear whenever I need it. It is not simply a story, but more as a reminiscence, a collection of memories that shall never be fallen apart

Chapter 2: Hi there, the story is written very emotionally and you already can taste the bittersweetness here.
I'm not often on this site and stumbled over here out of coincidence. Your describtion of the starry night sky is nice. It reminds me a bit of a story a friend of mine is writing. If you like describtions of the night sky, please go and read her work.
Thank you for writing.
