Summary
Apollo is the center of the universe up there, and Wooyoung wants it for himself. The grace, the control, the cinematic opportunity. Wooyoung knows art, he can create it, but he desires more. He wants to be the art. He’s seen how some of his classmates had looked at him, especially after his first day of life modeling. He could have this. It would take months of work, of building muscle—Wooyoung can’t pull his eyes away from the veins in Apollo’s forearms that pop every time he flexes his biceps—of gaining stamina, but he could put in the effort. He can, he will, he wants this. Reality is clay, and Wooyoung is seated at a pottery wheel ready to shape it any which way that benefits him. Any goal is a future reality when his hands mold it. Wooyoung doesn’t just aspire, he achieves. He’s been looking for a reliable source of money, and he knows this can be it. Apollo is soaring on that stage, royal, powerful and untouchable. Wooyoung can be regal. He can burn gold and he can command just as much of a crowd. He can touch the sun.

Or, the modern retelling of the fall of Icarus as told by WooSang at a strip club. Sensuality, ambition, and being the only one daring enough to reach out for the untouchable.
