☾* talking to the moon
⁂ feat. @yhserin
silence makes wonjun uneasy. it’s suffocating and still, and there’s nothing more disheartening than the realization that there is nothing left to be said, literally or figuratively. it’s part of why he’s always been so keen on sound. he thinks of his beats and music as amplifiers for what has to be said and substitutes for what is not. therefore he’s almost always listening to something, whether it’s for work or leisure; and not just listening, but submerging. but after an inhumane number of hours in the studio spent pouring over every intricacy of sound, he thinks he needs to unplug — or he might just go more insane than he already is. besides, he can’t hear anything properly anymore; not when his head is pounding, ears ringing. he needs to get out.
he leaves nearly everything back in the studio, his steadfast companion (i.e. his earphones) included; though he does take his phone, which is funny because there’s really nobody to talk to at this hour of day. he embarks on a meandering stroll through the locale which is quiet and lonely, but that’s not a bad thing. this sobering break from nonstop sensory stimulus was probably long overdue. admittedly it’s kind of nice to be able to hear himself think for a change, and the cool night air is rather refreshing. geez, he’s starting to sound like an old geezer now, isn’t he?
anyways, apparently old habits do die hard. the late night stroll is one of few things he still carries with him from his childhood, even long after the person whom he originally picked the habit up from has left him (without even a proper goodbye, by the way). sure, it’s not the same without her company and their shared conversations, which he still remembers quite fondly. but then again, it’s also much easier to engage in this habit now that he doesn’t have to climb out his second-floor bedroom window to join her. it’s amazing how things can change so much while at the same time not changing at all. just like the unfortunately familiar streets of this damned neighborhood, to which he has somehow made his way onto. it’s a good thing that nobody is around to catch him lurking around — or so he thinks.
