A light tint of blush appeared on other male’s facial features as he responds. “It’s a little obvious for me to hear such words as I’ve literally never even talked with someone this much. I don’t know the feeling of sharing your thoughts with someone or hearing their thoughts back. Especially these delighting thoughts like yours.” He averts his eyes to the animal as his mind went on. “Dodo is the only being in my life. And she is not as thoughtful as you are, but I’m still really thankful of her presence.”

“You got her such an adorable name. Just as adorable as her.”

“Well, talking of names, I’m Dongyoung. May I know the name of the adorable stranger as well?”

“Jaehyun.”

The name sounded melodic, the name sounded familiar. A single term seemed to hold million mysterious pieces but mostly, “Your name reminds me of peaches.”

Jaehyun giggles at the fruity comment. “Been told that once. Just… In a different way.”

“Well, everyone has their own ways. But I hope you will like mine the most.” Dongyoung smiles sheepishly at his comment.

“And I am sure you will love theirs the most.” Jaehyun responds and the latter makes a confused expression. Jaehyun then chuckles and continues, “Somewhere around the nature, there are people, who are waiting to tell you that how much they cherish you, how much they envy you. To tell how much they love you, in their own fascinating ways. You are just yet to hear their melodies. Once their voice will go through your ears and reach your heart, you will probably forget my each word.”

Even though the tone and syllables Jaehyun released were harmonizing, the statement alone was enough to make Dongyoung’s heartache. It felt as if Jaehyun was unaware of the charms he had, until… “But I sure have my own ways to warm someone’s heart. Ways to warm your heart.” The latter smiles innocently and Dongyoung could feel butterflies in his stomach. Jaehyun sure had the ability of warming people’s heart.

“For real. And yours must be the sweetest.” Dongyoung declares and the other lowers his head while chuckling at the little rabbit.

“Thanks for the sweet compliment.” The animal cuddles under his arms comfortingly.

“Oh come on, it’s not a compliment. It’s a truth, Jaehyun. See, even Dodo likes you already because of your sweetness. She barely gets this close to anybody except me. But she seems to like you already when it’s just been a moment since you two met.”

“I’m delighted. And I would be even more if the one she belongs to would like me too.”

That wasn’t an expectation, or a consideration. That was a truth, which needed to be confessed. “Guess my words don’t hold the power to describe the admiration I have already created for you. But to be honest, even like would be an understatement to describe my feelings for you. The best I can state is, as you said that I would cross any obstacle for the beings I cherish, then I’d just cross every obstacle for you.”

“So, if I’d ask, would you follow?”

Dongyoung gets a little surprised by the instant respond of Jaehyun, and especially a question on top of that. “Are you taking me somewhere?”

“Fate, will take you to your destination. Where you’ll feel your heart beating in pace, there you’ll feel your destination.”

Some phrases by this mesmerizing man were as mysterious as himself, yet Dongyoung still liked to hear them.

Jaehyun starts standing with the rabbit in his hands which Dongyoung tried to take back but the animal didn’t seem to like the separation from the man. “It doesn’t seem like she belongs to anymore.” Dongyoung says playfully and the other chuckles.

“She’s still your bunny, while you’re my bunny.” The bunny man feels his ears reddening at the comment.

“Well, since she seems to adore you this much, how about you make her your bunny as well?”

“Are you sure? Wouldn’t you miss her?”

“Of course I will but, I guess fate has other plans, which I’m more than happy to experience. Besides, we are going to meet again, right?” Dongyoung’s eyes beamed with hope as the question leaves his lips.

“Of course. You just have to close your eyes, and remember me.” Jaehyun sings and Dongyoung could feel his getting closed magically as he tried to picture Jaehyun’s beauty.

He smiles at the aesthetic view that appeared in front of his closed eyes. They even included Dodo as she belongs to Jaehyun now.

“I was wondering, do bunnies like peaches?” He opens his eyes as he interrogates only to find no one around.

“Well, not sure about others, but your bunny man sure does.”

At this point, even fate seemed to be an understatement to describe the bond Jaehyun had with these three wonderful people. There were just endless wonders about. To brief one, all of those three had a pure resemblance of nature. And Jaehyun loved nature. The creatures, miniatures. Pixies, universe and galaxies. All these planets. But his favorite, the moon.

“However, it’s been declared that the moon is not a planet anymore. It is a satellite of our planet earth as it spins around it. Therefore, our solar system consists of eight main planets as of now. So, are we clear now?”

Everyone in the planetarium hall nods in agreement at the host’s explanation while Jaehyun just smiles and remains still in silence.

“Alright then we are finished with this session. It was really great to have you all here. Take care and keep stargazing.” The host finishes the session as everybody starts bidding their farewell and exiting the hall. Except one certain man, Jaehyun.

“But still, my most favorite planet is moon.”

The host turns his head towards the direction of the voice to meet the very strange yet very familiar and surprisingly, very fascinating man. “Well that is your favor but that cannot change what is truth.”

“But what if the truth is in our favor?” The stranger exclaims and the planetarium staff must admit that the voice of the unknown man sounded even harmonizing closely.
