Epilogue
Day And NightBaekhyun wakes up with a jolt from his nightmare of a battle between residence of the sun and patrons of the moon. He’s sweating despite the cold rush of wind that fluttered his curtains, cursing himself for not locking the windows before going to sleep. The night is cold and he shivered, quickly closing the windows and locking them before hopping back onto his bed. He has a morning class the next day which he cannot afford to miss because exams are drawing near and he hasn’t actually done well for his class tests. If only Baekhyun could actually concentrate on things that do matter.
Instead he had spent the last few weekends visiting his grandfather who lives in the outskirts of town, spending many hours seated on the floor as his grandfather tells him stories after stories of the unknown worlds of the past, stories of nightwalkers and daywalkers and forbidden lovers.

It was well into six in the evening when he finally found something that could explain a few of his questions. He wasn’t entirely satisfied because he had expected to find something about the lovers that were believed to have caused the war between the two worlds, but perhaps he should make another trip outside town and visit his grandfather again this weekend.
