it wasn’t often anymore that sohone went to see leeyoon. before becoming guardian of the sun, they would see each other constantly. they would talk about their day, talk about their upcoming duties as guardians, and once in a while get into trouble. they were indeed best friends, even if sohone was leeyoon’s only real friend. nowadays though, sohone only came by when he needed something. it’s not that he didn’t like seeing leeyoon, but his schedule as guardian of the sun demanded his constant care and attention. he had to wait until the temple crossed over the night side so that he could squeeze in the time to visit his companion. leeyoon unfortunately was most likely asleep at this hour, as those in the night were nocturnal.
despite all this, sohone would clumsily walk up to leeyoon’s home. while still cave-like, it still resembled day homes, having a door and being well furnished inside. the sun guardian lazily banged his fist against the door, calling his friend’s name.
“ leeyoon... leeyoon--! ” he called, unable to speak much more without coughing and wheezing. with one shaking hand he supported himself against the outside wall of the cave, while the other pressed against his mouth. all the while horrible whispers echoed in his head. they called him names, told him to go back into the temple and keep moving, for he would just burden leeyoon. for now he ignored them, as he continued to call his friend and bang on the door.
