William's POV

"Such a disgrace!" My dad slapped me and scolded me with so much anger.

I failed the semester.

I could feel the heat of my left cheek because my father slapped me hard for what
happened.

"I did my best dad! I told you that i wanted to take Tourism, not Law." My father
closed his eyes tightly. I knew that this day would come and I know that he's really mad
right now and I can't even get the chance to explain myself.

It's difficult when you're forced to do things you don't want to do.

"What about your brother, Ben? He's intelligent, hardworking, and kind. And you?!
what kind of mind do you have that almost all of your subjects are failing?! I did not
raise you just to be this dumb William!" Toxic parenting, I clenched my fist, refraining
not to talk back, but this is too much. I took a glance at my brother and he's looking at me
with those worried eyes of his. I love my brother so much and he's our family's bread
winner and I always wonder to what its like to be him.

"That's enough Samuel!" My mom said while stopping my dad from landing his palm
on my face again.

All I ever wanted is just to be free from this shithole.

"No! Don't tolerate your son! That's why he's growing up like that because you're
spoiling him! How will he learn about life?" My dad said.

Before, I used to understand why he was always angry, maybe he just wanted the best for
me but this isn't what's best for me, I have my own plans for myself too.

"Where did we go wrong William? We sent you to a prestigious school, fed you,
clothed you, and took care of you-" I cut him off.

"Because that's your fucking obligation and responsibility!" As I said that, I received
a hard slap from him again. "If you're just going to throw back the obligation of being
a father to your children, then maybe you shouldn't have had children in the first
place, right?" I can see his anger by just looking through his eyes.

"Family planning is a thing, Dad. If only you knew, I would never be grateful to you
for the life that I have right now. This is not the life that I was expecting when i was
a kid, I hate to talk back and that's why I remained silent for my whole years of
existence." My dad isn't always right. I feel like I don't have the right to decide for
myself, I know what's good for me and they will never know that unless they walk in my
shoes.

"Your generation sucks! Where do you get the nerve to speak like that huh?! You
have no right to talk to me like that! You're just my son!" I scoffed in disbelief. "No,
it's not our generation sucks but your mindset is. Your generation and our
generation is totally different," I can feel a lump on my throat and I don't want to cry in
front of them.

"What I experienced is different from what you've experienced, you experience a


beautiful life where you can decide for yourself. And if only grandma was still here,
she can prove that you're wrong." I can feel the weight of the words I'm saying it's like
I've been carrying them for years before I finally said them and I want to break free. "I
will become a flight attendant soon. I will fly for my dreams even if the cloud are
rough and one day you will be proud of me dad, mark my words."

"You're really stubborn huh?" I saw him walking towards the telephone, I already
expected that this day would come but I still close my eyes tightly as I waited for what
Dad is about to say."Cut off his allowance and transfer all his money to my bank."
After hearing those lines, tears streamed down to my face while my eyes remained closed.
"From now on, you will be the one to provide for yourself." My dad smirked like a
devil as if he's satisfied with his actions.

"Dad this is too much!" My brother interfered but I only look at him and just smiled.
It’s okay, I already accept this and I know how much money I wasted from failing
anyway.

"You wanted to be free from this shithole? Then get out of my house. From now on,
you have no family."

Third Person's POV

With tears still on William's face, the guy quickly packed his belongings while he felt
determined and sad at the same time, his brother Ben was there by his side quietly helping
him as they got ready to deal with their father being angry.

William left his home behind and got on a plane to Amsterdam. He felt unsure about what
lays ahead about him but he's hoping for a new beginning. As the plane flew on the way
to its destination, he still felt sad about being abandoned but he’s also thinking about
chasing his dreams that made him feel a bit better.

When William arrived in Amsterdam, he immediately set out to find a place to stay in and
fortunately, the luck was on his side and he managed to secure a condo. As he prepared to
settle in for the night, his insomnia kept him awake until 3:00 am, leaving him restless
and staring at the ceiling. As William decided to looked out the window, he then realized
that he can view the rooftop from his window, and to his surprise, he saw a man sitting
alone on the rooftop in the middle of the cold night. William thought to himself that the
man seems lonely and sad but as William blinked his eyes, the man suddenly disappeared
like a bubble. It felt strange to William, but he figured it was just because he was tired.
So, he decided to ignore it and go to sleep.

As noon starts to kick in, William decides to look for a job to provide for himself, and
luckily he found one and he is a barista in a coffee shop.

It's 8:00 am when he got back to his apartment, he decided to wash up and planning to
sleep after.
William's POV

It's almost three in the morning and I still can't sleep and that's why I decided to go up to
the rooftop for some fresh air.

I want to become one of those stars, Where they can hide through the clouds when they
are afraid to be seen.

I leaned my arms on the railings and waited for sleep to come. When I look at my watch,
it's 3:00 am

"They will shine brighter when it's dark" I heard a voice behind my back. "I can
almost hear you thinking" he chuckled. He's the guy that I saw the other night! and god,
he's so damn fine! I watched his face closely and he looked like an angel falling from the
sky. He had a sharp jaw, nose, and fangs, pale skin, and almond eyes.

"Are you single?" His eyes widened before letting a small laugh. Why? Is there
something funny about what I said? "Yes why?" He gave me a soft smile and I crossed
my arms before facing him. "Can you be my lover?" His slips formed into an amused
smile before shaking his head. "So what's your name?" He looked down before meeting
my gaze directly. "My name's Sean" I said, not telling him the truth. Even though he
looks ethereal, I still can't trust him to give him my real name. "Benjamin" He simple
said, god even his names is gorgeous!

"I saw you here the other night alone, around 3:00 am to 4:30 am and you suddenly
popped out," I pouted before I continue talking again. "Are you Elsa? because the cold
never bothered you anyway?" I seriously asked him but he just chuckled. god even the
way he laugh is so gorgeous. "I am just used to cold weather, it's keeping me alive
and I think I'm healing." I nodded even though I didn't understand what he said. "I
don't see you often during morning, why is that? What unit number is your room?"
I asked him a series of questions, he ruffled his hair slightly as it had a little snow on it. I
purse my lips containing a smile. Why does he look so good on everything he does, it's so
unfair!

"I found peace in midnights, no one can hurt you when it's 3:00 am. People are
asleep and alone in their dreams." He walked towards me and brushed off my beret and
I noticed some snow had fallen. He's such a gentleman! "I am most scared of
midnights, there's a lot of ghost when the clock strikes at 2:00! Aren't you scared of
ghosts?" I asked him like a kid. I saw him biting his lips preventing to let out a small
smile. "Actually there's a lot behind of you." I almost throw myself down the railings
but gladly he held my wrist and waist before I slipped.

He look straight into my eyes and there I got mesmerized and drunk by his gaze. "Do you
have a crush on me?" I asked him, mustering all my courage. He let out a small laugh
before guided me to stand properly. "You're cute" He replied. My face heated up by
what he said so I ended up standing awkwardly.
Before I could say a word, my phone rang "Shocks, I have work!" I was about to run
away when I remember that I'm still with someone, so I went back in front of him and
offered my hand. His brows furrowed out of curiosity. "Your phone." His eyes widened
by my moves so he took out his phone from his pocket and I tapped my number from his
phone and called myself.

"Can we see each other tomorrow again?" I shamelessly asked. While waiting for his
response, he suddenly smiled again which made my heart melt like butter. "I'll wait for
you, Sean." I gave him a sweet smile as he chuckled again, looking so happy and
contented.

Third Person's POV

After that incident, Night after night, William found himself drawn to the rooftop, eager
to spend time with Benjamin. They shared stories, dreams, and secrets. Their bond
growing stronger with each passing night and William found comfort in Benjamin's
company, his loneliness slowly dissappear in the warmth of their connection.

One night Benjamin offers William to stay in his room for a night so he won't feel alone,
William nodded as they intertwine their fingers on their way to the latter's unit.

William's POV

We stopped in front of a unit at the end of the hallway.

Room 19. Oh, so this was his unit number?

He used his card to open the unit and let go of my hand, I didn't know why but I suddenly
frowned.

"Feel at home"He said and I just followed him. As I entered his unit, I felt something
cold that gives me chills. I look around and I saw a vintage interior designs that was a
trend a decades ago.

"I didn't know you were into vintage designs" I saw him drinking water on the island
and he noticed that I am rubbing my arms because of the cold temperature that I felt
earlier. "Oh I’m sorry I forgot to turn on the heater" As he turn on the heater, the cold
feeling I had somewhat disappeared.

"I never get the chance to renovate this unit, if only I could..." I felt sadness in the
words he said. Why couldn't it be? "Anyways, you should sleep now it's already
quarter to five." He went to the other side of the room, and I just followed. "Come
here." He said while fixing his bed.

"Where will you sleep?" There's only one bed here in his unit and it would be
embarrassing to sleep on it. I saw the couch on the side, so I pointed to it and said "I can
sleep there." He suddenly grab my waist and forced me to sit at the edge of the bed, and
he laughed because I looked like a puppy being told to sit.
"You look like a kid" He pursed his lips. "Sleep well Sean, I will keep you safe from
all your nightmares." I was lying on his bed and it smelled like vintage, something that
doesn't smell bad. After a while, I fell asleep due to exhaustion and drowsiness.

"If only I could turn back the time, I will save you again and again..."

I woke up because of the noise of my cellphone's ringtone.

My eyes roamed around his room and I didn't know that a guy like him would choose an
old fashion design for his unit, is he a 90's kid? "No way, he just look the same age or a
year older than me" I just shrugged my shoulders. "Benjamin?" as I was looking for
him, my phone beeped and there I saw his text that he needed to go to somewhere.

I packed my things and fixed myself before I leave his unit. As I closed the door, I saw a
janitor cleaning in the hallway. The man was startled and looked at me as if he had seen a
ghost. He glanced behind me and I looked as well, I see him staring at the unit number
and Fear was evident on his face.

"Are you the new person who will live here?" he asked. the man were about in his 50's
and the fear in his face were still evident. "Oh no, I'm just staying over, my friend
owns this place." I saw him suddenly get even more nervous. "Why? what's wrong?" I
couldn't stop myself from asking.

"No one has been living or visiting here for a long time, young man." as my brows
furrowed in confusion, the man slowly walks away.

I just ignored what the old man said because I saw his pictures inside.

Maybe they just don't see him coming home because Benjamin only comes here at 3:00
am.

Third Person's POV

As the time goes by, William finally enrolled into a school where he can pursue his dream
course and he's taking summer class.

His friends wished him good luck.

After William finished his class, he checked his phone and saw that it was already 8
o'clock, so he decided to go home and sleep.

As William lay down, sleep eluded him because his eyes were getting used to it. He saw
snow outside his window, and when he checked his phone, it was already quarter to 3, so
he hurried to the rooftop, but he bumped into the janitor again.

William's POV
"Son, it's already early morning. Where are you going?" He asked. I grabbed onto the
wall catching my breath.

"Oh, I'm just going to visit my friend on the rooftop, sir." He furrowed his brow.

"I just went there, son. I can't be mistaken, but..." Fear was evident in his eyes again.
I want to know, but I witnessed it myself, and I know that there's nothing for me to fear
there. "I went there because I got something from the basement," My eyes widened as
I had just seen Benjamin before coming up here. "No one lives on the 6th floor where I
saw you the other day. The reason? They hear someone crying from the rooftop. It's
not scary, they say, but it disturbs their sleep." My heart raced at what I heard. How
come that I slept there but I didn't hear a single voice.

"How come no one lives there? I can see it from my condo that many children play
on the rooftop every morning." His eyes widened, and he stepped back from where he
stood. "Maybe you made a mistake," he forced a smile at me, though fear was still
evident on his face.

"Is that so, son? Alright, I'll go first. I need to wake up early and clean here." After
that, I gathered my courage and still went up the stairs to the rooftop.

"Benj" But he's here, he's really here right in front of me. He even look more pale and
his hands are shaking. It looks like he will collapse in no time.

I grabbed the windbreaker and coat that I brought for him.

"What are you doing?! You're gonna freeze to death! What's your fucking
problem!?" I don't know why, but I feel annoyed whenever I see people who's already
giving up on their lives. "Benj, for heaven's sake, don't forget to take care of yourself!
You're so much better than this."

I helped him put on the windbreaker and coat, along with the gloves and beanie. I just
found myself hugging him to comfort and to warm him up and after a while, he started
crying silently.

"I'm sorry Sean, sorry if i am not that strong. I'm sorry, I'm sorry," He kept
apologizing.

I am not mad at him, it's just I am worried about him.

"Shh, it's okay. Don't blame yourself, the world is cruel and it's not your fault. Just
don't give up on yourself. I am here, we can be each others crying shoulder." I
caressed his hair and kiss his forehead to calm him down. "We are all tired but not
lifeless" after a few minutes, he already stopped crying. I held his hand and guided him to
his unit.

As we entered his unit, I lit up the fireplace and made a warm milk for him.
We're sitting near the glass window beside the fireplace, watching the snowfall. I took a
glance at him and he's fine now, and I saw him playing guitar.

"Do you believe in shooting stars?" He asked me while plucking in his guitar.
"Actually, no." I smiled bitterly "I remember my 5 year old self, wishing on a
shooting star."

"Hi shooting star! when I grew up, I want to have a happy and normal life where
happy ever after exists!"

"Ironic isn't?" I mocked my 5 year old self. "That's why i wanted to become a star, to
grant every child's wishes because I don't want them to experience the same agony
where I used to question my existence." As I looked at him, he's also looking at me like
a proud dad.

"You grew up so well, Sean. Thank you for not giving up." In that moment, I knew I
was already falling but I can't, because he's waiting for someone and that’s not me.

"What's your favorite song?" I asked him, I want to hear his singing voice. He was just
talking, but it sounded like music to my ears. After that, he stopped talking and just
played his favorite song.

"Would you know my name?


If i saw you in heaven
Would it be the same?
If i saw you in heaven?

It’s nice to stay up late and talk about heaven, earth, dreams and to have someone who
will be your own version of universe.

I'll find my way


Through night and day
Cause i know i just can't say,
Here in heaven"

"I hope i can stay with you like this" i whispered.

Third Person's POV

After a few hours of silence, William manage to break their silence.

William: Tell me a story Benj.

Benjamin: A tragic or happy ending?

William: A tragic, i don't believe in happy endings.

Benjamin: I used to believe in happy endings before, because of Uno and dad.

William: Who's Uno?


Benjamin: Uno is my dad's lifeline. Their story is tragic, but they created their own happy
ending.

William: They must be really inlove

Benjamin: That's because of Sol and Luna, they are their witness.
Dad sacrificed his life for my dad, selfless right?
That's why Uno never give up on his captain, they never give up on each other.
I hope i was strong as Uno.

William: Why? Aren't you strong enough for choosing to stay alive?

Benjamin: So that I could save a life. How I wish I never gave up on him. I am too
coward.

Willliam: Him? Who is he?

Benjamin: He's my moon, and I'm stuck in my own star.


Sean, please don't scared to be alone. I am always with you.
I will stay with you until you feel better. Until you feel like yourself again.
Be the moon, Sean.

Third person's POV

After the incident, William waited for Benjamin for two weeks. He called him, texted
him, and even waited for him on the rooftop until morning but Benjamin didn't show up.

But one night, Benjamin showed up again, but William sense something. A sense as if he
were about to cry.

William's POV

"Am I late?" My eyes lit up when I saw him standing in the entrance. I don't know but i
feel like I'm tearing up. "I'm sorry..." He hugged me while caressing my back.

"I thought you wouldn't wait for me like you always do," He chuckled before
breaking our hug.

"I waited for two consecutive weeks, I was here..." I pouted. "Oh, you drink?" He
asked while pointing at the liquor that I was holding and i just simple nodded.

"Let's talk about our future, just the two of us." We climbed to the very top of the
rooftop where all the city lights are visible.

"You know what? Uno and dad always do this. Late night talks, wasted nights,
stargazing, and just chilling while talking to Luna." He smiled while reminiscing their
good old days. "And look where we are, escaping. Running away from the cruel
world." My heart aches so good.

"I love the 3 am version of people" I smiled while thinking about what tomorrow will
bring. "Honest, real and sincere." I foud mine. I look at him, wishing that I will be
spending all of my 3 am with him. We're chugging down the liquors while talking shit
about the world.

"Captain, my dad always told me that if you really love a person, you can sacrifice
everything you have," He sighed deeply before smiling at me. "Even if it's your own
life and happiness." I saw pain in his eyes. I closed my eyes as he hugged me tight. He
softly kissed my forehead as he slowly let go of my embrace.

"Love can be shown in different ways, Sean." All I can say is his parents raised him
well.

"What i can do for you is,

to destroy myself."

The moment i opened my eyes, he was gone.

Third Person's POV

After the interaction they had, Benjamin lost again, William waited for Benjamin again
but for three weeks this time. He called him, texted him, and even waited for him on the
rooftop until morning but Benjamin didn't show up.

But one night, Benjamin showed up again, but this time it was different.

William's POV

I am patiently waiting for the clock to hit 3:00 am. I waited for him again, this time in the
middle of the rain, soaking wet. I didn't mind being in the cold, all i wanted is his arms
around me.

"Love is to destroy" I sighed while looking up into the skies and let the rain hits my
soul.

"Benj, You're different kind of healing." I whispered to the wind, hoping it would hear
and grant my wish.

As the raindrops fell, so did my tears. As i opened my eyes I saw that there were no stars
twinkling in the sky.

"Benj, am I being greedy if I ask you for one more hug even if you don't want to
anymore?" I whispered to the wind again, but it seemed like the heavens heard my
wishes.
I closed my eyes tightly as I felt a warm embrace from behind.

Some hugs are worth waiting for.

"It hurts, Benj..." His hug tightened even more, as if he didn't want to let me go.

"Sean I will always wait for you in the afterlife. I'll find you in heaven, even on the
other side" Tears streamed down my face, as his arms were growing cold.

"Love, you're so cold" I uttered. I am trying to contain my sobs.

It feels like torture whenever you're crying silently.

I felt his face against my shoulder.

"Love if you ever miss me, just look at the stars okay?" I bite my lips as I let out a
sob. Why do you have to leave? "I'll shine brighter for you" I tried to break free from
his arms, but I couldn't because I felt weak from what I was hearing.

He took my hand and put on a bracelet with a key pendant.

I hate goodbyes.

"I love you so much, Sean. Just like until the end of the page of a book, I will love
you over and over again." As he slowly let go of our embrace.

As i looked back onto him, all the memories of 3:00 vanished.

William's POV

And just like that, rain in Amsterdam wouldn't be the same anymore after you left.
When I was a kid, I remember my dad.
He's always there whenever I fell down on my knees.
But now, he was the reason of my greatest downfall.
Life is full of unsaid thoughts,
but at least, we met.

I will never regret anything that made me smile.


I've never thought that I found a home in a stranger.
"Love is to destroy", he said.
So he made me realize that love is acceptance.

But I still wish that i could spend my whole life with you.
Benj, Take me to the clouds.
Even in those brief moments, I feel my worth.
You really are my 3:00 am thoughts.
Just the two of us, in the rain.
Even if it was for a short amount of time, I knew it was real.
- And after that, William collapsed from crying and exhaustion due to everything that had
happened.

Johnny's POV

My name is Johnny, one of William's friends.

I'm on my way to the hospital after receiving a call about William being hospitalized.

As I entered to the hospital room, I saw him, my bestfriend looking pale and unconscious.
I saw a guy who's quite taller than me, I furrowed my brows because he looks familiar.

"What happened to him?" I asked him. He's wearing a long sleeves and black trousers.
Oh, I remember him, he is William's manager, Ethan.

"I saw him lying on the floor in the middle of the rain at the rooftop of our condo.
He's burning that's why I take him here" I don't know why but his eyes looked
worried.

"I should probably get going" I nodded and thank him.

"John..." I heard my name was being called by jake, our other friend. His eyes widened
while looking at William's phone. "He's...texting himself" I walked towards him, and to
my surprise, my eyes widened when I saw him literally texting himself.

"Look at the photos" I said.

"Where the hell is this?! Where did William take this photos?!" I saw a plenty of
pictures of him, inside an abandoned room that looks old and vintage.

"He's... hallucinating."

And there, we found out that William actually has depression.

-Depression can cause hallucinations. Depressed people are prone to see bad spirits and
ghosts because their spiritual health was not that healthy.

Third Person's POV

After everything that happened, Johnny and Jake waited for William to wake up.

As hours passed, William finally regained consciousness.


William's POV

As I opened my eyes, I wondered why I was in the hospital and why my friends were
here.

"John.. Jake.." I muttered. They turned their attention towards me and approached,
caressing me gently.

"Where's Benjamin?" I repeated, my voice trembling with urgency. "Have you seen
him? Did he go home?"

John paused, his voice barely audible as he spoke. "William... Benjamin... he..." He
stopped, unable to express the heartbreaking reality.

My heart raced with fear and I felt a lump in my throat, trying to hold back these tears.

Jake took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly as he reached out to hold mine.
"William, Benjamin is not real. You're just imagining him because you're in the
hospital due to depression. You ended up here because someone found you lying
down and unconscious on the rooftop from waiting too long for Benjamin," he finally
managed to say, his voice filled with sadness.

It felt like my world crumbled after hearing what they said, I cried because I felt
devastated by what happened.

"No... he's real, Benjamin is real! Please, you have to believe me..." I pleaded
desperately, my voice choked with tears. I clutched onto my cellphone, frantically
scrolling through our messages and photos, each one a cherished memory that now felt
like a cruel illusion. But despite my efforts, they remained unconvinced.

"William, all this time... it's just been you. Texting yourself, imagining things," Jake
said softly, his eyes filled with pity. "And those photos you showed us... they're empty,
just like that abandoned room you keep mentioning. It's all in your head, William."

His words felt like a dagger to my heart, each one piercing deeper than the last. But still, I
refused to let go of the hope that Benjamin was real, that our bond was genuine.

"The janitor. he knows me, he sees us together," I insisted with my voice trembling
with desperation. "He can prove it, he can prove for Benjamin's existence."

They agreed to what I said, so we quickly went to my condo to find the janitor that I
mentioned.

As we got there, we saw the janitor right away.

"Hello, can we talk to you for a moment?" I asked the janitor, who seemed surprised
but agreed.

We went to a cafe near our condo and where the janitor worked.
"What's the matter, boys? Why did you call me?" he asked, he was a bit confused
about what happened, but he still managed to make us feel comfortable around him.

"By any chance, do you know someone who named Benjamin who used to live here
in the condo?" We saw the surprise on the old man's face, but it quickly faded, replaced
by sadness.

The janitor nodded solemnly. "It was in 1993, 31 years ago. There were two men who
loved each other, but his lover named Sean died first due to suicide. Benjamin died
at 70 years old, because of his old age. And every night, he waited for his lover for 31
years alone on the rooftop."

We all fell silent after hearing this, but I was shocked because my name matched
Benjamin's former lover, even though I used the name Sean to not tell him my real name
but I felt hurt by what I heard.

"That's all I know, boys, sorry, but they said they were buried together as spouses at
the Beth Haim cemetery."

Third Person’s POV

The three of them immediately thanked the old man and decided to go to the cemetery.

After a few minutes of searching, Jake called Johnny and william to come over because
he found the coffins of the couple.

William's POV

I feel like my soul left my body when I saw his grave.

Park, Benjamin Alas.


1923 - 1993

It's raining again. Heaven really let me dive this deep.

"I thought he was just your hallucinations, but he really existed." Johnny said while
holding the umbrella for me. "And I guess that Sean was his first love, and it was
you."

I glanced at the other grave, and there I saw the name.

Kim, William Sean.


1923 - 1953

My knees fell in front of their grave. There, I saw my face in the picture frame, it was old
and dusty but I can really tell that it was my face.
No, this can't be happening…

"Benjamin died at the age of 70. He waited for you to be reincarnated, he waited for
31 years alone at the rooftop." My eyes widened when I saw the condo janitor. I didn’t
notice that he followed us. "Sean, he always sneaked out just to be with Benjamin
every 3:00 am, that's why Benjamin only appears when the clock hits 3:00. Tragic
right?" I glanced at the picture of Benjamin and Sean, the real Sean. "They always
climb to the roof, talk about their future and just let themselves got wasted. A simple
love that hindered by the harsh world."

They really love each other, until their last breath.

"Benjamin let you used him like a drug," my brows furrowed. "You only see him
when you're sad, he's just there when you're drowning, and that's what his purpose
is." My chest tightens as I realize that Benjamin is really selfless but selfish. "He failed
to save Sean from drowning his thoughts and ended his life without bidding a
proper goodbye to Benjamin. The world was too greedy for Sean, but Sean lived a
happy life because of Benjamin." I glanced at where my beloved was lying.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry for leaving you behind" I whispered, crying.

"He didn't have any regrets when he died." Johnny uttered.

I looked at his tombstone, When i read it, I already lost it.

To my Sean, wait for me.


I will save you, again and again.
To life and death, i will find you.

He waited.

I looked at Sean's

I will become the moon,


Benj, you are inside my moon.

"You are Sean's reincarnation," I looked at the man with curiosity. "Look at your
wrist" I saw the bracelet on my wrist, as if the omens were real.

My body froze when I saw a box beside their grave with a padlock on it. I saw a small
key, the pendant itself was attached to the bracelet. I opened it and I saw a letter of
Benjamin and their old pictures together.

They look so happy in the photos, as if they have no problems in the world, relying only
on each other for peace.
After looking at their photos, I opened the letter from Benjamin that addressed to his
partner, Sean.

Dear Sean,

How are you up there?


I am stuck in my own star, moon.
Year 1941, our first page.
We were both 18 and stubborn.
We kept going, even though the world tried to hold us back.
Over the last 10 years, i've fallen in love with you for how many times.
So I'll wait for the restart of our page, and for your heart to beat again.
The world may be too greedy for you, but love is what you returned.
Until the next dawn, I'll be waiting.
Regardless of the years, regardless of the generations.
I will save you from drowning, i won't let the history repeats itself.
I'm thankful that i was the last person you loved, Sean.
Until our stars meet again, Sean.

-Benjamin 1993.

The end.
