TO BE SEEN IS TO BE KNOWN — with @nivise
as yuta looks at the night sky, he can't help but to feel touched by the beauty of it. in tokyo, all the lights make it hard to see the stars and the sky. once upon a time, when yuta was a teenager, he used to escape to the rooftop of their building at night just to look at the sky in silence. that has always been his problem, one of the woman who worked at the orphanage would tell him, that he wanted a family, but would always spend his time alone. what are you afraid of? she'd ask and yuta wouldn't know what to answer.
seolhwa is supposed to be a new start in his desire to find connection, but yuta feels out of place. it's not a new feeling, not really, but he still hoped here would be different. he can feel haneul's presence in everything, and a part of him doesn't know if he should even be here. they'd been friends, but not close ones. they'd had fun, but not made enough memories. and yet, he's here now, he can't run away.
outside, he takes a deep breath, letting the cold air fill his lungs. soon, it will be too cold to be here, so yuta wants to enjoy all his time while he can. it's when he notices yura, still sitting by the fire they had lit a couple of hours earlier.
he should leave her be, but a part of him worries to see her alone in the cold of the night. so, because yuta doesn't know a life that isn't lived to help others, he goes inside and comes back with a blanket that he gently places over her shoulders.
"it's too cold to be sitting without a blanket," he says, his korean slow and careful. he hasn't spoken it in months, and it will take time for him to get used to it. he sits by her side, extending his arms to warm his hands by the fire. "it's nice, out here." he looks up at the sky, smiling. "peaceful, isn't it?"
