Astronomy

In An Awkward Place

Title: Astronomy

Pairing: Minwoo/Hyungsik

Prompt: New Star

 

It was another slow night at the observatory. After Minwoo had finished sweeping the corridor he joined Hyungsik at the monitoring station.

“Any news from the space station?”

“No, not tonight.”

Hyungsik lay down on the carpet and Minwoo followed him. They looked up at the ceiling of the observatory that was decorated by stars.

“Isn’t it funny to think that light from the stars takes hundreds of years to get here?” Hyungsik mused. “It’s like looking back in time.”

Minwoo asked, “If you discovered a new star, who would you name it after?”

Hyungsik folded both his hands over his stomach and smiled contentedly. “Well, I’d name it after Kevin of course,” he said as if that should be obvious.

“Fair enough,” Minwoo said, hoping that his disappointment would not be detected. “Besides, who cares anyway? There’s already billions of stars in the sky…”

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Aww, poor things...i could imagine Kevin heard that song being sung by Kwanghee's voice though...i know i could...even though while reading...i heard the original singer's voice. i've always been fond of the song even way before Kwanghee sang it in his Kwanghee style...
Anyway, thank you for being the first or maybe the only one to complete the challenge and for dishing out a variety of stories/plots/setting that are entertaining yet thoughtful at the same time even with short lengths..it takes skill to do that...and it's been a delightful journey for my senses reading the stories here, even if it took me ages to comment. the 30 participation+30 bonus karma points have been sent to you in March. i would've sent more for bonus, if only i hadn't lost most of my karma points transferring to different account and then forgetting the password n unable to retrieve them...-_-...sorry for all the distress/inconvenience this challenge/i have caused you but i'm really thankful and honoured to be reading the stories and well, yeah Congrats again and thank you, for everything.

Chapter 29: ok...goodness this is just a creepy counterpart to the intro...i'm creeped out just trying to think of which is the reality n which is the dream...or if both or neither...

Chapter 28: Aww, poor Minwoo...

Chapter 27: I knew at least one of them would be 8128...haa...but the ending sentence really left a certain impression that i couldn't describe in words...but it certainly left an impression.

Chapter 26: ugh...i worried Minwoo would be injured too but started to think maybe it wasn't him when Junyoung got worried...the beginning conversation though....poor Junyoung...that was harsh Minwoo(though not necessarily impossible)...

Chapter 25: lol. ok...this is kind of random...Hyungsik's response is so...random n lol. i thought he was some sort of death angel at first since he appeared out of nowhere...well, it's nice of him to...be so intent on returning the deed though part of my wild imagination wondered if he orchestrated the situation to 'return the deed'....hmm, think too much of it. but nice n short entertaining piece as usual.

Chapter 24: i've been meaning to continue where i stopped to read the stories especially this one, (hope that's alrite)...that i ended up re-reading all parts of it...still, the impression left is...Siwan is creepy...and when he mentioned nightmare..it reminded/tied back to the first story...though it remains mystery for me the things he exactly did...but his motivation/reasoning could be perceived.
