It was a fine weather, the sun shone brightly and gave warm sensation to the skin. Saeran thought that it was one of the best days he experienced. Days that he can breathe the open air and his feet could freely roam around. Though, he still sensed the pain from being tied up in the house that sometimes reeked of alcohol his mother drank the night before.
Outside world was truly wonderful for him, he saw everything with pure eyes of wonder and innocence. Though sometimes he felt unease when he was around people of all kinds, man in suits and field uniforms, household mothers taking out of their toddlers, and other kids running around the block. But it did not matter for him as long as his strong twin brother was by his side, he felt safe.
Today Saeyoung planned to buy ice cream again. Ice cream and sunny days were a match made in heaven for Saeran. Enjoying his ice, the red haired boy sitting down on the grass upon a hill with his twin brother looking up at the sky. It was always nice and comforting to see sky decorated with cotton candy clouds. He could spend hours and hours observing the changing forms of cloud.
"Someday, I promise you, I will take us out from that house." Saeyoung broke the silent between them.
Saeran looked at his brother and saw glimmering optimism in his face. He looked down the hill and saw people looked so tiny like ants. He was weak, far weaker than Saeyoung. What he said seemed impossible for him who felt that he can not go anywhere in fear of their father would get them. But Saeyoung would yell at him if he said that they could not do it.
The younger of the twins looked up the vast blue sky again. "Saeyoung..." Is there any place that would be safe for us to hide from our father? "If I could enjoy this blue sky with you, I feel happy. Do you think is there a limit to the sky? If we were to escape to far far away place, would the place still have the same beautiful blue sky?"
Saeyoung pondered at the question and looked at beautiful eyes of his twin brother. Those amber orbs reflected innocence. He sighed. "Of course, Saeran, of course. You know, they said that the blue color is not even the real color of the sky."
"Oh really? So, what's the real color then?"
"I don't know. Maybe we have to go up in space to be able to see the real color of the sky."
"Space?" Saeran's pupil dilated.
"Ya." Saeyoung grinned. "Let's go up to the space station. Maybe we can find our place up in space where we can be safe from father."
Sky. Space. Both incorporated a hope for better life Saeran. He always looked up to the sky outside the window from his room everytime his mother tied him up. It comforted him as it holds the promise of happiness.
