donghee and hotae are sun and moon - but! with a delicious caveat!
on the outside, to everyone else - to the youth mall aunties, to wonyoung at first, etc - donghee is the bright sun, the smiley cafe owner, the sweet young man; hotae is the brooding moon, the bad boy, the one with tattoos and bruises, the high school dropout.
but on the inside? between them? donghee is the moon, aloof and cold, the one with secrets and trauma and things no one can see. hotae is the sun, warm and persistent, uncomplicated, the one who gives sunflowers and picks up on every smile.
(hotae has trauma of his own, certainly, but he's determined not to let his baggage weigh them both down. and donghee isn't always cold, he's just felt alone for so long, safe only where no one can reach him.
and their story - the truth of them - is how badly both of them long for the eclipse.)
