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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9pkMkwaSY
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc07i8wTFJ4
She stopped walking when she saw a pair of sneakers before her
She lifted her head to see their owner
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLM2YlmVd6
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

. 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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCgGa5QHjG
Arthur tilted his head with a wide smile, his eyes disappearing as he laughed before saying:
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJoyxE7htM
"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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UdbYQHVgm
She averted her gaze to the right before mumbling: "You didn’t have to come, really… I can go back alone."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiR1TznEYZ
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."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Etcn0vIQ
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?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx5MkAMTFv
She lowered her gaze again before replying, "Yes… it’s fine… I’m used to it."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILr9z50od8
"Your efforts are appreciated. You truly are diligent and hardworking… you deserve some rest."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDNB0DntcS
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR0WKXbd4d
••••• Eileen’s POV:
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4DOGuT7Gt
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??
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTy6hUl0Ja
What if he ends up hating me like everyone else??
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEcs2nhVHK
Should I push him away??
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLzkrr4jYx
To keep the son of the sun from getting hurt?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99gU3Fkhm7
••••••End POV Eileen
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfN2Ysbgs0
Silence was their third companion, and the only sound was the noise inside Eileen’s mind.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiDIWKI3yl
To quiet it, she focused on the view of the sunset reflecting on the sea.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbHMgiS1n0
Had the scenery always been this beautiful?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNV8jZxwe4
It felt like the first time she had ever seen such a view, even though it was the same road she always took.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXukj7BhOOe
Maybe because she had always kept her gaze on the ground or walked without noticing anything, lost in her own world.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuFHEe3qgj
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfBBfdHEME
But… is that what she truly wanted?…
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDbACp53fX
I don’t know…
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftCnptKgtU
And no one knows… not even Eileen.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bNoLzYYOC
By the time they arrived in the neighborhood, night had already fallen.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KKwh8MgsH
Eileen returned the helmet to its owner with a faint murmur of thanks.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7SpvWDCke
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4k62p5k4e
Then, silence fell between them as their eyes met again for minutes before Arthur broke it with:
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMeL9gKg1B
"Rest well… Good night."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxMPmXuT1n
To which she replied, "You too."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYc4jKuULc
And each entered their home with gentle emotions.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LH9Llhh8q
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLsKuOtVvQ
Should she let things flow as they are?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdDY2bpNFH
Or should she put an end to everything?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2avBY8eQF5
But she fell asleep before finding an answer to her questions.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dRQ26btvq
---------------- In the Morning ----------------
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL7tFKKlG9
Sunny days are rare in winter—
Those days that carry a spring-like feel despite the occasional cold breeze.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9upNFsf1D
"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:
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw0W9TvtQx
A small paper plane had flown through her window and landed gently on the floor.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdfIgyjOtW
Something small and unfamiliar… something that could be worrisome for someone like her,
someone who feared anything strange and intrusive in her life.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxRsDiZqgE
She bent down cautiously and picked it up… turning it over in her hands before noticing the words written on it.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1heBlz7lU
"Is this… a letter?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tFcI53tKA
And the thought seemed terrifying…
Who would send her a message???
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6UVWrgnDO
"Did they… find me…?!"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtNkxodg3V
Dark and terrible thoughts instantly invaded her mind.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8EOHE2KTW
And to put an end to her doubts, she slowly opened it and read:
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1XzsP5sZM
"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 ♡
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse59RxNr37
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzgZSVmrHu
That was… completely unexpected.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKdb4GgrO9
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?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT4dPZ4tjt
Regardless… she glanced out the window, hoping to see the sender, but found no one.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWWBRTe39k
Then, she got herself ready and left for work.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxF0nW9oki
Her steps felt lighter than before.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutVshFERod
She arrived and started her long, exhausting day… just like any other.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgURhymccbi
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…
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbzI4Pq3ZC
Days passed as usual, one dragging the next, and the week had ended.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp1R8vkVHh
But…
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQeaB6xEkT
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHafpfLdYyy
She even kept them in a small ornate box.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3yFn7BFsw
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?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsz7scx4uh
Today was the end of the week.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjMQ3Ma5Xo
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91tmoZtHiP
It was morning… the same time the messages usually arrived.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1P7DaKW2i
She put on her coat and stepped out, scanning the neighborhood for someone—
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHSGg69QJG
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtZ8c6rIRy
She approached him, and as always, the moment he sensed her presence, he greeted her with a smile.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnQ0C72hnn
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLmhRL5exH
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5uln5qDFi
"What are you doing?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW4ud7178G
"Spreading happiness."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm0QiR5D2L
"And how is that?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLgU5GjSsb
"Hmm, as you can see… with a paper plane… with some words that might… encourage and motivate others, maybe?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9umN3JOsb7
"Why do you do it?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkYug9DzDL
"Why do I do it?… There’s no particular reason. The real question is—why shouldn’t I? Or… should I not do it?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM5wf2Qyg0
"No, no, I don’t mean that… but what do you gain from it?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0oPAE8EAV
"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."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBNslBNvrM
"For your happiness?… Hmm, whatever. Goodbye."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY47TvQwNR
"Do you have work?? On the weekend??"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gov3u3YV2
"No… I’m just going to wander around a bit. Goodbye."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAy3Oy2Ozi
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8xCy3yTtn
And as usual, she spent her day off walking…
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUkT4KjWwy
But this time, what occupied her mind was Arthur’s words, replaying like a stuck record in her head.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqek6xAChN
"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 »
