Tonight was so lovely! I feel, like, I've found the happiness I've been craving these past few days because Vansent's Dokyeom took me, Eelje's Minghao to the central part of the city. We went outside just looking for peace, seeing how crowded the city is, while looking for something we can adore—and the answer is both of us! We adore each other, we comfort each other, until we're not realizing the sun has set. Before going home, we stopped by, and ate at a restaurant. “Do you like the food? I hope you like it. I hope you're happy to spend your time with me, Hao,” he said as he took a picture of me after we've done eating.

Miss you lots, Ilyes. Happy (late) valentine. 🩷

　　　
A weekend well-spent with the two people who know me, Eelje's Sanghyeon best. It started with a quick mirror snap before we set off—just a simple outfit for a long day of walking and i, Eelje's Sanghyeon was bought a new iPhone by Talse's Junseo. The highlight was definitely the arcade; Talse's Junseo was so determined to win that cactus plushie for Eelje's Winter. Watching Eelje's Winter hold it with such a pure, happy smile made the whole afternoon feel like a scene from a movie. The day wrapped up at the station with one last blurry selfie. Masked up and exhausted from all the laughter, but giving a thumbs up to a perfect trip. Grateful for these small, quiet moments with me, Eelje's Sanghyeon, Eelje's Winter and Talse's Junseo that always feel like home.

Sunday afternoon feels a little longer than it should be, don’t you think so, neighbors? It’s all about honey and woodsmoke over my lungs. Standing at the balcony, doing nothing but staring at the ceiling might be one of the best way to spent the time wisely, at least for me. I’m telling you this because I know your ribs might feel like a birdcage today, too. I know the way the light hits the floorboards makes you wanted to apologize for just being present at some flicker of moment. But, as long as we’re still here, skinning the day for whatever sweetness hasn’t turned to salt yet, it’ll be just fine. If the Monday-panic starts to sharpen its teeth in the back of your mind, remember the way the light looked when it was too thick to swallow. Take a piece of this bread and some red cherries on top—don’t you worry if it’s a little burnt at the edges; that’s the tastier part, after all! Consider this as your gift for being in peace, because we surely have another weeks of nosebleed heat to pass by, right?
