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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP1NxctXQs
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknLCu3GQc0
She stopped walking when she saw a pair of sneakers before her
She lifted her head to see their owner
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyry3tNRVo
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
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuGZwfsJSi
. 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
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IB6pKgz97
Arthur tilted his head with a wide smile, his eyes disappearing as he laughed before saying:
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ9nEZ6jrx
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi0krBcqmv
She averted her gaze to the right before mumbling: "You didn’t have to come, really… I can go back alone."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bJUJgFhLY
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."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC5bC0pWOV
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?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9WBrZcprD
She lowered her gaze again before replying, "Yes… it’s fine… I’m used to it."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7atZiOAchG
"Your efforts are appreciated. You truly are diligent and hardworking… you deserve some rest."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdzKuPpVPS
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uwSRbltIq
••••• Eileen’s POV:
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QLGqMJC78
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??
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUigyeZA7lV
What if he ends up hating me like everyone else??
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65QGo9ttpu
Should I push him away??
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bWhOybIKD
To keep the son of the sun from getting hurt?
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHzJ37D1Oh
••••••End POV Eileen
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYfHmcvqkw
Silence was their third companion, and the only sound was the noise inside Eileen’s mind.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUdQIInmHH
To quiet it, she focused on the view of the sunset reflecting on the sea.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg2Z0z9oLz
Had the scenery always been this beautiful?
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhtf6lBVg1
It felt like the first time she had ever seen such a view, even though it was the same road she always took.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwykK8Cm4v8
Maybe because she had always kept her gaze on the ground or walked without noticing anything, lost in her own world.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthTComfFXS
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uZIGtcxAT
But… is that what she truly wanted?…
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2qtpDpZjP
I don’t know…
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteB9oz0dhN
And no one knows… not even Eileen.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTGE7hAx6y
By the time they arrived in the neighborhood, night had already fallen.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDx5Xkk9uc
Eileen returned the helmet to its owner with a faint murmur of thanks.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD1Tt7EiwS
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOolyGOdtHO
Then, silence fell between them as their eyes met again for minutes before Arthur broke it with:
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q5zsa2dn9
"Rest well… Good night."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Fiusrr0i
To which she replied, "You too."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVafdljxfw
And each entered their home with gentle emotions.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOGXRs0S05
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpSJ8YTCkw
Should she let things flow as they are?
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aWeFYGKZu
Or should she put an end to everything?
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51gY7B5FNf
But she fell asleep before finding an answer to her questions.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhNoPoAPR3
---------------- In the Morning ----------------
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkRPWE9m3M
Sunny days are rare in winter—
Those days that carry a spring-like feel despite the occasional cold breeze.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUkt3l79cd
"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:
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnge9PI3O9P
A small paper plane had flown through her window and landed gently on the floor.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwbLWvJT0P
Something small and unfamiliar… something that could be worrisome for someone like her,
someone who feared anything strange and intrusive in her life.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Q1BnqcKc
She bent down cautiously and picked it up… turning it over in her hands before noticing the words written on it.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQWkz4syNc
"Is this… a letter?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfc3asJRH0
And the thought seemed terrifying…
Who would send her a message???
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyFiGG5dhB
"Did they… find me…?!"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2M8kGltxf
Dark and terrible thoughts instantly invaded her mind.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNTdVpLxmr
And to put an end to her doubts, she slowly opened it and read:
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U8EHK5MdX
"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 ♡
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTHR2C2tst
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pALMkzSEO
That was… completely unexpected.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHCVgdfd9j
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?
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X4RCwx0PH
Regardless… she glanced out the window, hoping to see the sender, but found no one.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEffyfzmPCX
Then, she got herself ready and left for work.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQovQV1KB2O
Her steps felt lighter than before.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBSeRTuuv3
She arrived and started her long, exhausting day… just like any other.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HSHn0u9Oo
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…
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1EiJF9vdv
Days passed as usual, one dragging the next, and the week had ended.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQMw9AGoNN
But…
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r2rpmt6pW
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAAMt2EV6r
She even kept them in a small ornate box.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVwL4g5Yxt
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?
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOkNLbHKQG
Today was the end of the week.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSJszBMiJn
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqNyyoE1Sx
It was morning… the same time the messages usually arrived.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcFdj4Z6UD
She put on her coat and stepped out, scanning the neighborhood for someone—
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I0YHmQUWA
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhqf0eup8b
She approached him, and as always, the moment he sensed her presence, he greeted her with a smile.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2CovnL9qF
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJzF6c72uZ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTZBE3bgU8
"What are you doing?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILbShf4u5P
"Spreading happiness."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrHVnwBP1T
"And how is that?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOTxr0okB7
"Hmm, as you can see… with a paper plane… with some words that might… encourage and motivate others, maybe?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKTz7842LI
"Why do you do it?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLme4lP1Eu
"Why do I do it?… There’s no particular reason. The real question is—why shouldn’t I? Or… should I not do it?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xw6f00P3N
"No, no, I don’t mean that… but what do you gain from it?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT49yCLV71
"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."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhFtrwBSmS
"For your happiness?… Hmm, whatever. Goodbye."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYUsuKf1EO
"Do you have work?? On the weekend??"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFqhoKi1MX
"No… I’m just going to wander around a bit. Goodbye."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReRNNez0eI
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFZRCqa9sd
And as usual, she spent her day off walking…
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48lsHoK4Qg
But this time, what occupied her mind was Arthur’s words, replaying like a stuck record in her head.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHZUQrPk9A
"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 »
