But “space,” of course, was too wide a search term, and “outer space” wasn’t much better. She slumped back in her seat with a huff, already frustrated. Okay then, she would start small. “moon”? …Nope, still too wide, and brought back results of every moon she could imagine. “earth’s moon” was a little better, but as she clicked a page and started reading, she was soon completely lost, swimming in big words she didn’t understand. Reading was hard enough, and this made it impossible. As a last ditch effort, she put in “facts about the moon”, hoping to get a quick and simple list like she sometimes saw about other subjects. To her surprise, the first result was a video. Deciding that would absolutely be better than having to slog through more reading, she clicked it immediately.

“Annyeonghasaeyo!” greeted the unni in the video. “It’s Alice, and today’s topic is my dream location. Yes, we’re talking about the moon, and I’m about to tell you ten cool facts about the orbiting body around our Earth…”

By the end of the video, she was smitten, excited to find someone so fun and relatable and easy to understand. She spent the rest of the afternoon looking through the unni’s other videos, and by the time she reached the one about Star Wars, she was absolutely hooked. She even read through the transcript of the article she had found, as tired as she was of reading by that point. But it was worth it. Clicking back to the YouTube channel, to that first video she found, she hit the button to type a comment. There was a moment of hesitation, where she wondered if she should, if it would even be noticed among the thousands of others. And if it was, would it even be taken seriously? She was getting used to her family noticing her, making sure to take her opinions into consideration, but she still had years of people deciding she wasn’t worth the time. But then the final words from the article came back to her: “Thank you for loving me. Now, please make sure to love yourself.” She nodded to no one, looking determined, and began to slowly type.

My Eunwol-unni,

In my wildest dreams, I never would have thought we’d end up here. To think that I started as just a kid admiring a YouTube celebrity, and it blossomed into this. To think that from there, I’d find my best friend, my soulmate, my partner in every sense of the word… it’s surreal, and I still have a hard time wrapping my head around it.

I wonder sometimes what would have happened if I’d given up just a little sooner that day, if I never found your videos. How different both our lives would be. Just a slight change, and all of this would be gone. It could be coincidence, but my great-grandma taught me that there’s no such thing. The stars set a path for us to come together, with the moon lighting the way, and every day I’m so thankful that they did.

Dearest noona,

Do you know why the wolf howls at the moon? The wolf knows that the moon is something they can never have, so they vent their frustration by howling at it, in the hopes that their love can one day be heard and reciprocated by the moon they pine for so badly.

I am no wolf, so I would never cry over something I can never have- or rather, I feel I cannot, the way one tries to grab onto sand and watch it slip through their fingers over and over. It’s futile, pining over something that isn’t yours, so this will be my first and only letter addressing this. Anything else, and it makes me a desperate fuckboy.

Even so…the moon reigns, eternal as she bathes me in a harsh light that makes me feel so inferior.

It wasn’t an abnormal night for Eunwol. Albeit, she rarely had guests, but her Friday nights consisted of a reward in the form of a drama marathon. Dramas were something you didn’t really have to think about. You just felt them, and just feeling was relaxing to the girl verging womanhood. The oddity of the night, as aforementioned, was the guests. She had recently become close to a family with two brilliant children, and tonight she found herself in the company of those said kids.

This was far from a burden, though. Where most her age would like to find distance from children, she found them refreshing. Seonhwa was a mute, but Eunwol learned the lack of verbal language didn’t prevent communication. She smiled to the girl whose head rested on her lap. Combing her fingers through her hair, Eunwol was happy to be in the presence of wonder girl even as she slept. Soon, Eunwol’s eyes went to the drama ongoing. That is when the first kiss scene of the series occurred. Eunwol didn’t think much of it until the boy beside her made his comment.

Daeyoung was special as well. His body was wheelchair bound, and without machines, he wouldn’t be breathing. Eunwol knew that life for him had to be hard. Kids were cruel, and limitations were always made aware to the handicap in a society like theirs. She wondered how he was able to be like this. He was always like this in front of others, she observed. Daeyoung always had a way of deflecting attention from himself. He was usually not cruel about it, but Eunwol could see he was making a joke to push away from his own questions and feelings about romantic love.

She had been staring at him since the comment, and she just realized he had noticed. “Have you ever liked someone before?” she inquired from him wanting to talk about him and his feelings.

Daeyoung participated in everything Seonhwa did, mostly, not that she would leave him alone, and meeting Alice, or Eunwol as he now knew her as, was no exception. He had been relaxing with them as Seonhwa gave a silent yawn, crawling into Eunwol’s lap after a while and falling asleep, and when he made a snarky comment about the notion of love, he soon felt the older’s gaze bear down at him. He looked around, mildly confused at his attention being held like this about a benign question, but figuring there was no escape, he gazed back to her and gave a slight clear of his throat.
