Dong Hae's POV
It’s a pleasant day today. A complete contrast to the continuous downpour from yesterday. I actually like the rain and prefer it over a sunny day usually, but to be honest, it can bring my mood down sometimes. Today I feel refreshed, like I just came out from a dead depressing state of mind. I decided to go to my special place. It’s not imaginary, as some would make it out to be. Rather, it’s the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life. Full of green grass swaying in the wind, the variety of flowers dancing and the beautiful stream running for miles. I decided to go to my happy place, for I know that a happy place makes for beautiful music. And nothing beats that.
As I reach the scenery, I take a deep breath. Somehow I feel, it is going to be a magical day. Blame it on my fixation with fantasy, but I truly feel something special will happen today. That leaves me smiling my own goofy smile and walking over to my favourite spot underneath my favourite tree. As I reach my destination, I sigh in content. The tree leaves are swaying, the birds are chirping their own happy song and I feel the heavy weight of responsibilities lift from my shoulders. Just for now I want to be carefree. Just for now I want to go back to being a child, lost in his own little world, fascinated by the different things he sees around him. Taking out my guitar, I feel the music rush through me, bringing me tunes and notes I would not have thought of yesterday. I close my eyes and let it take me wherever it goes. Complimented by the sweet sound of the birds and the steady rush of the stream right in front of me, I could not have felt happier. Quite some time passes like this. Eyes closed, I enjoy this rare moment of being alone. But as I open my eyes, I see something that surprises me. I see you.
You are sitting right underneath a large oak tree, directly opposite me; twiddling with a leaf as you stare at me with so much attention, so much of curiosity. As I stare back in surprise, you slowly start to smile. You have a beautiful smile. Your full lips spread beautifully revealing a set of sparkly set of teeth. Your almond shaped eyes crinkle at its edges and sets me wondering if you smile like that at everyone. As I stare at you, one word crosses my mind, eliminating every other rational thought. Beautiful.
You have pale skin, so pale I wonder if you have come out under the sun in a very long time. Your jet black hair gently falls over your forehead, almost covering your right eye. Your eyebrows are arched beautifully, almost as if they were sketched. Your jaw line looks mesmerizing in the sun, although half your face is shaded under the cover of the tree. The clothes you wear do you justice. Your black tee hangs loose and reveals much of your milky white collar bones and the cargoes on you seem to suit better than on any other guy I have ever seen. Your wear simple sneakers, made out for walking for miles. Beside you lies a black backpack. All in all, your dark ensemble makes your skin glow, something which I am starting to find immensely pleasing. You seem relaxed, completely at ease and at one with the nature.
I wonder how long you have been sitting there. I wonder if you have been staring at me all this while. A blush starts to form on my cheeks as I count in the possibility that you have been simply staring at me and listening to me play. You seem to realise the blush on me and your smile gets even bigger as you let out a small chuckle. I feel my ears warming up at being under your steady gaze. We keep looking at each other and it just feels so perfect. Slowly, you reach into your bag and take out a notebook, without taking your eyes off of me. For a fleeting second I wonder if you are an artist who came to this little known place to get some inspiration to draw. May I say, not so humbly, that I wonder if you might want to draw me. There I go again, getting swept away by my own fantasy at something I deem to be so romantic. But then I see you scribble something on the notebook and tear it off. I start to get confused. What are you trying to do?
You slowly get up from the ground and walk towards the stream. Your skin seems to glow in the sunlight, making you look like an ethereal being. You pick up a small pebble and wrap the little piece of paper around it. What surprises me the most is that you throw it in my direction, across the stream. I fumble with catching the paper covered pebble, dropping it once. Already red in the face, I begin to feel hot now as I hear your low giggle, carried over the ever running stream. I strain to unwrap the paper from the pebble with my trembling hands, delighting in the possibility of a message from a stranger across a stream.
You're beautiful.
Is it even possible for me to blush anymore? I whip my head back up and give you a shy smile. You smile warmly at me and gesture for a message back. I turn to my guitar case and take out the notebook where I jot down all my material. With my pen poised over the paper I suddenly stop in my actions. How do I reply? I glance up at you and see you sitting right next to the stream with your legs bended and your arms around them with an expectant smile on your face. I blush furiously at this undivided attention from you and look down again.
Thank you :-) I didn't think anyone would be here though. Were you sitting there for long?
I quickly tear out the piece of paper and wrap it around the pebble. You shift, getting ready to catch when I throw it. You catch it deftly in your hands and look up at me and smile again. I feel my heart racing at the thought of conversing like this with a complete stranger. All of a sudden, I’m struck with a scary thought. What did I just do? Did I just encourage conversation with a man I barely know who might just turn out to be a rapist or a serial killer?
I start to panic as you read my note. But the smile that you give me makes me throw away any and every inhibition I just had. Your smile, it lingers in my mind as you look down to write a note again. Soon enough, a pebble flies towards me again. I quickly unwrap it, eager to see your response. As I read it, I feel my heart grow twice its size as it thuds against my chest. Now I know that the magical thing I was talking about? It was you.
I've been here every time that you were here. Just out of sight. I want to hear you play again. It makes me fall for you more and more.
I'm Hyuk Jae, by the way.
