brighter than the sun
It’s been a while since he arrived early enough at Nova to eat breakfast and actually go. For weeks, he’d been content with eating at Jihyun’s place before heading out. His mornings are bright enough the way they’ve been and he had no plans of changing it but he’s up earlier these days for practice, the new evaluation motivating him to come early and stay late. A new song, new choreography, and the constant nagging in the back of his mind to improve on a daily basis make for a chipper Nova trainee with too much energy on his hands for early morning. Scanning the cafeteria for someone to hopefully join in on his excessive exuberance, he catches sight of a person he’s always happy to see but surprises him because it’s Nova.
Jaebum was the first person he looked on his first day of official training. As soon as he got the contract offer, he was excited to follow through on his promise. They’d perform together again someday, be on the same stage one more time and more to follow. The disappointment and gloom state he fell into when he found out Jaebum had left not too long before he joined still popped up every now and then. It wouldn’t need to anymore if his guess is right as he goes bounding towards the younger male, embracing him without any warning. His joyous greeting will have to do for now along with the big question, “are you really here? JB, are you back in Nova? Bro, if you’re not, you’re gonna break my heart.”
