sleep never came easy for hoseok. flashes of images of monsters and nightmares scattered around hoseok's dreams, making the boy wake up in cold sweat every morning led by splitting headaches that remained the entirety of the next day.

hoseok stayed up late every morning, his elbow propped up on his wooden table, his chin resting on his hands as he gazed at the glistening stars through the cracks of his crimson curtains.

he pulled out his notebook and a time worn pencil, a smile lingered on his face as he scribbled on the open page, the words bleeding out onto the paper, the thoughts clouding his mind, slowly but surely, making him feel less suffocated.

hoseok wrote about the stars, how he compared every midnight sky to love. how friendship in his eyes rendered the feeling of a bittersweet sunday night.

with his notebook, his friends and the midnight sky,

hoseok felt safe.
