A Thousand Splendid Suns

Description

Woohyun can have anyone he wants, he can even have it all - but all he yearns for is a man who burns with the intensity of a thousand splendid suns, whose harsh glare scorches him every day, but he revels in the feeling. After all, Sunggyu pulls him, Woohyun gravitates towards him, as if he’s the sun, a thousand splendid suns, at the center of his Universe.

Foreword

You glow with the intensity 
Of a thousand splendid suns,
I want to shy away
But I simply gravitate towards you;
I have no choice
Because the Sun is always at the center;
And as the centripetal force drags me closer
I give up,
I burn.

Chapter 2: Come here sunggyu, lemme hit some sense into your head. Jk. This was really intense, despite the abstract words that caused the descriptions to be vague. I really liked how you showed both woohyun's and sunggyu's thoughts together, almost like a poem. Thanks for writing this :)

Chapter 2: Uhmmm... yeah he doesn't know cause the Sun can't read your mind, you still have to say it. The story moved me and frustrated me at the same time. One bearing everything, one bearing nothing, yet they both feel the same. The thing is in a relationship each side has to give in this relationship. Only Woohyun gives. Your writing is very addicting, I read even when I am irritated with the characters... much like how I felt about Wuthering Heights, disliked the main characters (I wanted to beat them both with hot iron rods), but the written was just so good.

Chapter 2: I really like this! Although sunggyu's attempts to convey his feelings don't work out too well I think woohyun will eventually catch on, hopefully ^^ I also liked how sunggyu's thoughts were in both chapters :)
