Where Fireflies Remember Us
1.
The village breathed in soft winds and golden sunlight. Fields swayed like lullabies, and the air smelled of wet earth and old stories. Goats wandered freely, children laughed barefoot, and time moved gently — as if the world had nowhere else to be.
Tucked behind lemon trees, the old library stood like a forgotten poem. Creaky shelves, sun-dappled dust, and books older than memory. Leo sat by the window, reading quietly, suddenly get disturbed by a bang sound of the door.
?
Oho! Leo! Are you taking the training of being Einstein!?
A young man around 22, amazingly mesmerizing structure, shiny eyes, full lips curling little from corners in a teasing smile, sweat droplet spreading on the forehead like the pearls, breathing heavily suddenly bragging inside in a dramatic way
Leo doesn't look at him directly. He placed his books aside before shooking head towards Him.
His tired eyes suddenly lit up, and his dead face covered with a lint of softness.
Ivan
(grin.sit beside him)
Ivan
Drop the idea Leo. Otherwise, People will curse you till your seven generations.
Leo
(chuckle left from throat)
Ivan
By the way! Your Plants tried to kiss me again!!
Leo
Those are ferns Ivan. They don't have lips.
Ivan
Neither do you when you are reading.
Ivan laughed loudly, laying on the floor holding stomach.
Leo gaze towards him, a sincere and soft smile lingers on his lips turns into a wide grin and the cold and lonely library covered with the spring of laughter.
