The sky was dyed with a brilliant
orange hue.
The sun pulled back its rays, embracing them, as if bidding the Earth a good night before darkness, studded with stars, took over the sky within minutes

People gathered their belongings, and students packed up their tools to return home after the end of their day.

Likewise, Eileen walked out of the company building quietly. Her steps were slow, pained… her mind adrift as always.
Amidst the world's clamor. The voice of her thoughts was louder than all the noise.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ996GrZZXxd
She stopped walking when she saw a pair of sneakers before her
She lifted her head to see their owner
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGFaI2PCDo
His blue eyes looked enchanting as the sunset’s glow reflected in them, while his golden hair shimmered with the light seeping through it, granting him a warm, radiant glow. Even if the sun had set… its son stood before her now
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3zzbWPNBA
. Their eye contact lasted for minutes… as if they were drowning, discovering each other’s souls.
Neither of them wanted to break it— or rather, neither wanted to break the bond between their souls
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n4S6uD9DW
Arthur tilted his head with a wide smile, his eyes disappearing as he laughed before saying:
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPFSb8ksKu
"So, my ms. … shall we go home now?"
Eileen was surprised … she had forgotten for a moment that he was coming to pick her up.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yCABNoHsO
She averted her gaze to the right before mumbling: "You didn’t have to come, really… I can go back alone."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMpYnPOTg5
Arthur leaned his body slightly to the right, aligning their faces. "But you look very tired… Are you really okay?? My conscience won’t stop nagging at me if I leave you like this and go home… But honestly, think about taking a break to rest and regain your energy. Work won’t run away; you are what matters most."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW8jHNeq6H
Eileen stared without blinking… as if processing and absorbing his words. It was warm and comforting, and his concerned, caring words made her feel… something… something she couldn’t understand. Normally, she would tell chatterboxes like him to shut up and disappear from her sight, but… why did she want him to keep talking forever? "Was work exhausting today?"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZYG0VZVpH
She lowered her gaze again before replying, "Yes… it’s fine… I’m used to it."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOivZEKb1w
"Your efforts are appreciated. You truly are diligent and hardworking… you deserve some rest."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WsGNQOdlQ
He walked towards his motorcycle, took a helmet, placed it on Eileen’s head, and helped her get on. Then, he rode quietly through the cold December air and the beautiful sunset.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBnKSsH00u
••••• Eileen’s POV:
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil95j0yrh0
The cold wind caressed my face as the son of the sun rode down the long road leading to the neighborhood… I rested my cheek against his back, listening to his، quiet humming. His voice was soothing somehow… it made you want to listen forever… I think he’d do great if he started making ASMR content or a podcast… But… it doesn’t matter.
This boy is strange—the more time I spend with him, the more I start thinking and feeling. And the strangest part is that I met him just yesterday, yet today, I feel things I haven’t felt in years. But is this normal?… Is it okay to stay with him? What if I hurt him??
What if I dim his glow, his radiance??…
What if I make him sad and depressed??
What if I ruin his life like I did with everyone around me??
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhmncnXPSj
What if he ends up hating me like everyone else??
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcB2p1VmKr
Should I push him away??
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8C0Zs65Wh
To keep the son of the sun from getting hurt?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYIxwn8uPY
••••••End POV Eileen
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1y9nX8JJF
Silence was their third companion, and the only sound was the noise inside Eileen’s mind.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBRXnLFT5k
To quiet it, she focused on the view of the sunset reflecting on the sea.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLq21HFuTN
Had the scenery always been this beautiful?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOpTB4hnYt
It felt like the first time she had ever seen such a view, even though it was the same road she always took.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxjb5rTO3T
Maybe because she had always kept her gaze on the ground or walked without noticing anything, lost in her own world.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhppVAq6jF2
For some reason, she kept seeing the beauty in things more, the more time she spent with Arthur.
But she was still convinced that they shouldn’t get closer and that Arthur should leave her life just as he had entered it.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSdEnqCDQ0
But… is that what she truly wanted?…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XLuogUWYN
I don’t know…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eqvAyItbH
And no one knows… not even Eileen.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPsZ6ifwTE
By the time they arrived in the neighborhood, night had already fallen.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAydd36uLcs
Eileen returned the helmet to its owner with a faint murmur of thanks.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlWfvxSXqS
And all she received in return was a bright smile from those sky-blue eyes—only now did she notice the angel’s kisses etched on his cheeks.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU35XxttnFC
Then, silence fell between them as their eyes met again for minutes before Arthur broke it with:
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpICsq2qUp
"Rest well… Good night."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLTGz73rGR
To which she replied, "You too."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKISMPI7x3
And each entered their home with gentle emotions.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPHlnord3w
And that night, Eileen once again managed to sleep without nightmares, after spending hours thinking about what to do about the son of the sun.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAmFe71YPr
Should she let things flow as they are?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyJK5sL8hJ
Or should she put an end to everything?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo306kerZv
But she fell asleep before finding an answer to her questions.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0peRUsboqX
---------------- In the Morning ----------------
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnEObFjyV8
Sunny days are rare in winter—
Those days that carry a spring-like feel despite the occasional cold breeze.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOeFroGA7p
"A perfect day for a stroll" would be the best way to describe this morning.
But unfortunately, most people had to go to work—
just like Eileen, who had just woken up when something caught her attention:
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46uKCtWrOQ
A small paper plane had flown through her window and landed gently on the floor.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZaYv99MKP
Something small and unfamiliar… something that could be worrisome for someone like her,
someone who feared anything strange and intrusive in her life.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQQuFYSbKK
She bent down cautiously and picked it up… turning it over in her hands before noticing the words written on it.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH6W0DH87S
"Is this… a letter?"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsbHq5gcjG
And the thought seemed terrifying…
Who would send her a message???
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5HahhtZEZ
"Did they… find me…?!"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRFP0W39VW
Dark and terrible thoughts instantly invaded her mind.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgHzDISjp4
And to put an end to her doubts, she slowly opened it and read:
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTglRpN2smy
"Your morning is as beautiful as your eyes.
It’s a new dawn, a new beginning.
Today is not like yesterday.
You are stronger, more beautiful, and better than before.
So let the sun shine within you,
And walk forward with confidence, because I believe in you.
Be happy, for you deserve happiness.
Smile! The beauty of your smile alone can brighten the world."

From The Spreader of Happiness ♡
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAVtDFPmbS
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8aP6A3T0Z
That was… completely unexpected.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zJdbfq05K
In a single moment, the fear and anxiety disappeared.
And in their place, a new feeling settled in… one she couldn’t name. But it felt… good. It was warm… and comforting?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY3ESafpns
Regardless… she glanced out the window, hoping to see the sender, but found no one.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7eca4xvTl
Then, she got herself ready and left for work.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotqkHpaiT3
Her steps felt lighter than before.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULRtQCrMjK
She arrived and started her long, exhausting day… just like any other.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW8b0LDbNh
With a tyrannical boss and rude colleagues…
Nothing had changed… she would still be alone, a social outcast wherever she went.
And she had accepted that… as if she didn’t care… as if she…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfBpp9MfqO
Days passed as usual, one dragging the next, and the week had ended.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoM6VhEY2V
But…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwxxJgFcb0
The son of the sun had not appeared all week, nor had she glimpsed his lively shadow anywhere.
Yet, the paper planes kept visiting her window, becoming an essential part of Eileen’s day.
And those kind messages managed to draw small smiles on her lips.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD3vyi3UWs
She even kept them in a small ornate box.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrFNsElyY8
Why?… She didn’t know… But…
Let’s say you found a star in the darkness, one that lit up even a little of the gloom—
Wouldn’t you care for it, to keep it from going out?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6CrkZdI1G
Today was the end of the week.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa38fU8kafM
And unlike usual, Eileen decided to do something other than wandering until nightfall like any other day off—
She would search for the sender of the planes.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkGxfz3i2M
It was morning… the same time the messages usually arrived.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zsE8wAOsB
She put on her coat and stepped out, scanning the neighborhood for someone—
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO9GRlPcdM
And then, she spotted a familiar figure:
A tall, athletic build and golden hair…
But what caught her attention was what he held in his hand.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGU5qp8yEt
She approached him, and as always, the moment he sensed her presence, he greeted her with a smile.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7n5RRAQ5o
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ901PPzPVHO
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntCseMVGeF
"What are you doing?"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi26E9unw8i
"Spreading happiness."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9srm4UMRm
"And how is that?"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpHitJf2I8
"Hmm, as you can see… with a paper plane… with some words that might… encourage and motivate others, maybe?"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlthp1rNuZ
"Why do you do it?"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQxtLh4AF3
"Why do I do it?… There’s no particular reason. The real question is—why shouldn’t I? Or… should I not do it?"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QV7MJQnTL
"No, no, I don’t mean that… but what do you gain from it?"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY83YZBowT
"Well, almost nothing… but… the thought that I might be the reason for someone’s smile… or that I might bring joy to someone’s heart… or give them the strength and motivation to keep going… that alone makes me extremely happy and fills me with an incredible feeling.
So, for my own happiness—I spread happiness."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHCB3ShFQa
"For your happiness?… Hmm, whatever. Goodbye."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdUkBNCZXr
"Do you have work?? On the weekend??"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AmqEbPZKJ
"No… I’m just going to wander around a bit. Goodbye."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC6eiUgQuO
She quickened her steps before hearing his response…
But she heard him call out, "See you later!" in a loud voice so she could hear.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRKT2TDu8D
And as usual, she spent her day off walking…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RHtTlKrSV
But this time, what occupied her mind was Arthur’s words, replaying like a stuck record in her head.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ7B5YFfYR
"So… the letters… weren’t meant for me… I should have known…
But why do I feel this way…? It’s like:
«i know that your plane was not heading to me ... but I do not know when and how it suddenly fell to my heart ... And made me discover that I have a heart »
