[ canis major. ]

february, 2020.
4:11 am, park's resident.

"hello? renjun hyung?" his voice shakes.
"jisung-ah!"

shivers, everything went by too fast. he can't
tell what's going on anymore.

"can you do me a favor?" the person
from the other line asks.

"sure." jisung replies

"you still have my telescope set up right?"
renjun asks eagerly.

"of course" he whispers, almost breaking
down into tears.

"look into it!" the chinese replies.

"okay hyung." and so he did exactly what
the other told him to do.

the brightest star, sirius. jisung knows
this because of renjun, he would always
talk about how jisung is his 'brightest star'

"what's the constellation called hyung?"
jisung asked.

"canis major" renjun says. "it represents
the famed greek dog laelaps"

"are you calling me a dog hyung?" jisung
says teasingly, a smirk forming on his face.

"wait no i'm not calling you
a dog or something!" the other panics.

"im joking!" jisung reassures, letting out a
bitter chuckle.

"well, did you know that he was so fast he was
elevated to the skies by zeus?" renjun says,

"and then?" jisung asks.

"do you want to be turned into a
constellation jisung?" the chinese abruptly
says.

"...what do you mean?" lies. jisung knew
perfectly what he meant.

ever since the incident, jisung has
been speeding through life, ignoring all
the offers of hangouts he had received.

"slow down, jisung-ah." renjun says.

and that was it, that was what it took
to have the younger a sobbing mess. "hyung,
if i slow down the memories of you come back."

he says, wiping his tear with his sleeve.
"good, don't forget me." his voice was
comforting, as if renjun was hugging him at
this moment.

"hyung, please don't bother the other
hyungs anymore." jisung says.

"hm? what do you mean?" renjun asks

"don't, visit them anymore." the younger begs.

"jisung-ah,

i don't want to be forgotten."
