Summary
They say 'Hoshiakari' means starlight. The faint, persistent hope that cuts through the cold, vast empty spaces of the night sky. But for three long years, Euijoo believed his own sky was meant to stay completely dark.
His life had broken into pieces, leaving him to raise a fragile four-year-old who clings to him like an anchor in a storm. Being a single father meant burying his own youth, his own desires, and his own heart just to make sure his son, Harua, had enough light to shine safely. He didn't have time for peace. He didn't trust it anyway.
He thought he was entirely handling the dark on his own.
Then Nicholas appears, bleeds his way into Euijoo's carefully guarded boundaries. He introduces an inescapable constellation of warmth into a cold routine.
But letting someone in means letting down the walls that kept them safe. For a man who only knows how to be a protector, learning to be loved by another man feels like a quiet crisis of everything he thought he knew about himself.
Can Euijoo learn to trust the peace before the sky falls again, and can a heart frozen in survival finally learn to thaw?
This is the journey of how a lonely star found its missing constellation.

everything’s about choices — from the friends you pick during your first days at school, to the last words you’ll ever speak. choices shape you. they tell the world who you are, and for Euijoo, that’s always mattered.
But, for Nicholas — someone who had long since chosen the wrong path — choices were just an illusion for the weak.shame on him, for being one of them.

Summary
Being the son of a General, Nicholas wasn’t prone to religion or the idea of an almighty being pulling the strings of everybody’s fates. Yet, for a faith that was bound to stay dim, it all changed the instant he saw the cause of his night terrors being taken away by a force that couldn’t be named anything but divine, despite its seemingly humanly childish shape covered in blood.
Behind the red stains on his vision, a memory stayed frozen right up to the moment those rounded eyes found its way into his life again, walking in his direction, this time wearing the same military attire he wore in a much taller figure that wasn’t as bulked up as his own, gracefully demanding respect in a different way.
As he sat there, taking in the familiar stare, he couldn’t shake off the idea that, if he had ever learned his savior’s name, it would probably be close to EJ’s.
Or: Nicholas thinks EJ might be his mother’s killer.
