Where Fireflies Dwell

11. The Secret Drawing

W ooju listens to the gentle click of the door locking and feels his own heart beating, aching, and breaking.

His hand searches underneath his pillow and stills as his fingers brush against what feels like cardboard.

A smile finds its way to his face as he pulls a sketchbook out from its lair. He stares at it for a moment before turning to the final page, his eyes sparkling at a beautiful drawing.

He smiles.

But the joy found in the curves of his lips also holds the bittersweet taste of sorrow because, on that piece of paper, he’s drawn the boy who ignores him.

Yunho.
