When he heard the song, he never saw some random street light like he used to. It would never feel the same again because what happened under one of them was nearly took his life. If it wasn’t for a pair of arms that held him back to the sidewalk just a second before a wild taxi smashes him, he would be flattened on the asphalt. The said song was claiming his sense in his ears through his earphones, muting his surroundings. That’s why he didn’t hear the honking taxi.
To say that he was shocked to death was understatement, he was more like hammered to death then dragged back to life again in the next second. It was painful and delightful at the same time. Painful, because he was almost died running by a speeding taxi. And delightful, because of his savior was heart-stopping gorgeous angels could cry in shame.
Baekhyun was astonished. He was sure he was looking at a Heaven’s create, a lovely being almost godlike, a lovechild of Morpheus and Aphrodite; so breathtakingly beautiful that almost impossible to exist.
But he was there, just like the song in his ears. Perfectly streaming down his soul and calming his senses but yet again, thumped his heart faster than any beat it ever committed. Baekhyun could only watch hopelessly when his savior smiled down at him, even his voice was like a Heaven’s whispers, soft and tinkling, abusing his poor petrified mind.
“Are you okay? God, you almost get killed-are you hurt?” the savior did a brief check up on him if he was injured in anyhow. But seemed like Baekhyun already lost his ability to speak, too drown in the sublimity in front of him. “Hey, can you hear me?”
Oh I hear you alright. Just please keep talking….
“Um… I… uh…” Baekhyun struggled to speak, “Um… can I buy you a coffee?” and he wanted to slap himself for being so straightforward yet so dumb. But to his agony, the savior chuckled.
“You’re okay then.” He said, amused.
“Um… so… coffee, yes? For a thank you?” Baekhyun stuttered, much to his embarrassment, but he just couldn’t stop, like he was in autopilot; like his mouth has its own brain since his brain now is a wreck. The savior let out a light laugh.
“Sure.”
“Um… what’s your name?”
“It’s Luhan. And you’re cute~”
“It’s… um… Baekhyun actually, but thank you.” Baekhyun bit his lips, “For that, and for saving my life.”
Luhan gave him a sweet murderous megawatt smile Baekhyun almost faint when he saw it, “Don’t mention it, Baekhyun~” he chirped, and oh how Baekhyun loved his name rolled on the other’s tongue.
Just like the song in his ears that kept on flowing, real and alive, so does the flawless being before him. So does the feeling that starting to grow in his heart. The feeling of admiration, the feeling of the brain malfunction, the feeling of numbness all over the limbs, the feeling of the gentle curse in the universe, the feeling of love. The feeling he had towards the savior. The feeling he had developed just within seconds he spent time near the man.
Near you.
Near light.
