Moon and stars
The moment when the moon and stars meet
Sunyoung rose from her seat and approached the girl whose gaze had locked with hers. "Probably you. That thing I had kicked."
A man was approaching me. He wasn't someone I knew. But he wasn't a stranger either. Something about him pulled me in, like the gravity of the Earth. It was the gravity of fate.
Although we didn't say anything, the man and I came out at some point.

"name.."
ㅇㅇㅇ
name.....?
ㅇㅇㅇ
"yes.."
ㅇㅇㅇ
"you...?"
권순영
"Hoshi.."
Hoshira... in Japanese it means star.
ㅇㅇㅇ
"Is your real name Hoshi? That's unusual. I don't think it's your real name, but I guess you don't want to say it, so I'll just call you Hoshi."
ㅇㅇㅇ
"Who are you?"
권순영
What did you hear me say? This guy
권순영
"I said Hoshira."
ㅇㅇㅇ
"No, I'm not asking you something symbolic like that. I'm asking you who you are. What kind of person are you?"
The girl's question left me speechless. What kind of person am I? How can I describe myself?
ㅇㅇㅇ asked again, feeling frustrated.
ㅇㅇㅇ
"Is this a bit of a difficult question? Is there something about this that reminds you of me?"
Why does this person have so many questions? Even as I thought that, my mind was already searching for things that reminded me of myself.

"moon..."
After hesitating a few times, I finally spoke. As expected, the girl opened her mouth again.
ㅇㅇㅇ
"Dal... I thought you liked stars because your name is Hoshi, but the moon suits you well too."
권순영
It might be strange, after all. The moon and the stars are similar, yet at the same time, different entities.
권순영
"Then what are you?"
ㅇㅇㅇ
"What am I? I'm a human."
권순영
"No lol. Instead of giving such a boring answer, ask me literally who are you? What kind of person are you?"
ㅇㅇㅇ
"You're using my door as a countermeasure? Isn't that copyright infringement?"
ㅇㅇㅇ
"If I had to say it - a star!"
?
ㅇㅇㅇ
"Well, don't make such a strange face. It's just that the stars are quite attractive."
Sunyoung stared intently at ㅇㅇㅇ's face.
ㅇㅇㅇ
"What are you looking at? What did you ask?"
권순영
"No, just"
"Because I was attracted to you-"
Sunyoung swallowed her words.
권순영
"Yeah, do you ever want to go somewhere?"
Sunyoung asked while observing ㅇㅇㅇ's expression.
It was a signal and a hint to follow him into Sunyoung's world.
ㅇㅇㅇ
"That's true. Sometimes I just want a quieter world."
권순영
".....okay?"
Sunyoung got up from her seat.
ㅇㅇㅇ
"Where are you going?"
ㅇㅇㅇ looked at Sunyoung, who had gotten up from her seat, with a puzzled look. Without saying anything, Sunyoung grabbed ㅇㅇㅇ's wrist and helped her up.
권순영
"Let's go. To my world, to my moon."
