Author's Note: The space facts I used are from space-facts.com and I had so much fun embedding them into the story. Also, it’s one of my first times taking part in a fanfiction festival and I just want to thank the mods again for their hard work and all the effort they put into making this such a wonderful experience for me! ♥

Working at a planetarium is my dream job. Or maybe at NASA. I mean, dream big, right? XD (Hello Joonmyun, I actually have “real interest” in this job!!)

“Jongin spluttered.” Much charismatic. Wow ^u^

I like that Jongin started wondering about stars/the planetarium out of his own interest before he even met Kyungsoo and not because he met him.

STAR PUNSSSSS (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Things that happen when you get too into planetarium fics: reading “the boy at the other side of the room” as “... other side of the moon” OTL

Aww, it's so nice to see shy Kyungsoo coming out of his shell <3

Sobs, I want to watch (or more specifically: hear) Jongin's show. His posts on the Exo fanboard always have such lovely wordings, I'm sure he would come up with a great presentation at a planetarium show, too.

That feeling when you're an introvert and like living alone but sometimes it does feel a bit lonely... of course I might be projecting but I think I understand Kyungsoo well.

Jongin encouraging Kyungsoo was really amazing. He's a good friend. And I love how you showed that categories like popular kid and nerdy guy are stupid and don't define people.

Their relationship is really precious – both before and after the love confession. I like that it doesn't magically make Kyungsoo's insecurities disappear. Because, lbr, it's just never that easy irl and when that's something you can relate to as a reader and writers go that ooooh-love-now-all-your-problems-are-gone route, it just makes you blank-face, like o...kay... not really. But you didn't do that! You gave the characters time to develop, and little successes, and setbacks, and someone who's like “hey, you can do it, I believe in you.” And that's what really means the world <3

EO!
I'm dizzy from happiness (or is it because I had another coughing attack?) that you took your time to read and comment here <3
I'm so happy you liked it and I'm even happier that I got the introvert thing right (heh) and you could relate to things in my story.

I'm also extra happy that you appreciate my detour and the whole 'love confession magic' thing that I build in to make the whole thing realer. It's kind of an relieve that it all seemed to have worked in my (or the stories) favor, haha

PS: I also think you'd be amazing as supervisor Junmyeon's assistant or at NASA ;)
and yes! STAR PUNS - it's not a real yuku fic if I don't make weird puns lol
