One world. More than one billion people. Suffering from countless difficulties and hardships. Yet, Jaehyun’s heart hitches for three certain people. Seeing them surviving their lives with having no one by their sides hurts him. There is something… About them, which makes him feel relieved. Makes him feel completed. Makes him feel happy. But seeing them smiling brightly in front of the world and hiding their broken emotions from everyone hurts him. His soul yearned for their happiness. He wanted to tell them that they were loved. They were not alone. They had him. They had… Each other. He wanted to connect with them. He wanted to connect them.

“Hey buddy, watch out!”

Jaehyun turns his head in the same direction from where the voice came and meets with a slight shower of sunflower petals. They felt so full of life as if they just bloomed recently.

“Sorry buddy, it’s almost dawn which means cleaning and closing time and this breezy winter’s wind aren’t really helping. Anyways, looking for some lovely flowers for your loved one?”

Just like those sunflowers, the owner himself looked so full of brightness. He was shining as bright as sun. His sun toned skin just added shimmer to the shine. No wonder those sunflowers belonged to him. “I would love to. However, I have not enough money for these precious flowers.”

“These flowers are precious of course. But, nothing is more precious than love. If you have someone who waits for you to come back home everyday, who asks you how was your day, who cares about you, then these flowers are really nothing. If I was at your place, I would gift the universe to the one who would love me.” The man says as he looked at the flowers in his hands fondly as if he was actually looking at his lover. While the man admired the flowers, Jaehyun admired the brightening man in front of him.

“You seem to know the feeling of love quite much.” Jaehyun starts helping the other man with cleaning the area as he collected the petals from the floor.

The latter didn’t seem to mind the other helping him as his mind was too lost in its own reverie. When his mind processed what other just said, he chuckles softly and starts speaking, “Does it really seem like that? Funny how I maybe somehow even know the feeling of it but never got to feel it.”

“If I’d want to make you feel it, would you let me?”

The reaction on the sunflower type man was priceless. It had glimpse of both shock and surprise and somewhat delight as well. He seemed to say something, or many things. But the only thing he could in response was to stare in silence at the angelic stranger.

Jaehyun notices the amusing reaction on the other’s face and blushed when he realizes that the other was staring at him for way too long. “Everyone is bonded with someone in this world. Everyone is meant to meet the ones who will be with them till their last breath. There are people who love you, who want be loved just like you. You just have to find them.”

The explanation took the other out of his reverie as he blinks a few times at the other in amusement. A light tint of blush could be seen onto his cheeks. “I… Whoa. I don’t even know as to why I’m talking about my love life with a stranger I just met.”

“Funny how it doesn’t even feels strange in the first place. It feels as if we have known each other for so long. As if, we have been together for so long.”

“Whoa, whoa…” The sunkissed man started shaking his hands in air and Jaehyun just laughs at the man’s slightly panicked state. “I see you’re very bold with your words…”

“Jaehyun.”

“Jaehyun…” The man repeated the name in a tone as if he was he was singing a rosary. “Oh, where are my manners? The name’s Donghyuck. But people tend to call me Haechan as they say it resembles my personality.”

“Well, they only see what you present to them. But I know who you truly are. I’d rather call you my love.” Jaehyun smiles fondly at Donghyuck and the latter just clears his throat in embarrassment.

“Anyways, I never saw you here in town before, Jaehyun. Have you recently shifted here?” Donghyuck asks changing the topic as well as making the situation less awkward.

“I’ve always been here but my heart just got the courage today.”

“You seem to like philosophies a lot. Are you a philosopher?”

“I’m a wanderer, wandering the world in search of love. Would you like to wander with me?”

Donghyuck raises his eyebrow suspiciously at the latter who just seemed purely confident with his words. “Are you asking me out? Well, I’m too manly to be asked out you know.” He says while smiling confidently himself.

“Does being asked make you less manly?”

“No way! Are you doubting this man in front of you?” Donghyuck asks playfully while brushing his soft hair and showing his masculine charms.

“I could doubt my own self but never you, Donghyuck.” Donghyuck looks at Jaehyun and the man looked as if he really meant those words. And maybe, he even did.

“Jaehyun… I still don’t know as to why this happened or how this happened or what just even happened. But, I’m really, really happy that it happened. I’m happy that you happened. Call it exaggerating or call it fast, but you really are the best thing ever happened in my life so far.”

“No. Not the best, Donghyuck. There are many things and people, which are even better and the ones for you. When the time comes, you’ll know it. And trust me, the time is near.” Jaehyun says slowly and Donghyuck didn’t seem impressed with the other’s comment.

He was about to protest but before he could speak, Jaehyun already continued, “Though, I’m really grateful that I could make you feel happy. Your happiness is my happiness.”
