warnings: sneak peak of the next chapter, angst, during the agent incident (Yoon Jisung’s story, but do read Seongwoo’s first to follow the order), ft. Choi Min Gi, Daniel’s gone full rogue, dark themed (for the non-pure souls), mentions of death, will be continued with someone else’s story.

You had only counted to five when everything turned dark. One, it was one in the morning and the streets were supposed to be empty. Two, your heart dropped its pace as you watched a car turn round from the corner block. Three, the brake stopped working as soon as you pushed on the pedal. Four, the car toppled forward only scratching the side of the other automobile. Five, your visioned had blurred out when you pried your eyes open, only then did you catch sight of a hand reaching out to you before you lost your vision.

You only heard voices, first a feminine voice said, “She’ll be experiencing temporary blindness for a few weeks, due to the her retina getting bruised from the impact; however, there is a possibility that it might turn permanent if the retina detaches completely fro the optic nerves. Although, in most cases, the vision returns after three weeks or after a whole month.”

“Hey.” The male said after you heard the creak from the door. He proceeded, “Around one-thirty on a Friday, your car had flown forward flipping the vehicle upside down in effect. I witnessed you that morning, so I submitted you to the hospital.”

You still hadn’t open your eyes, so he continued, “I know you know who I am.”

After he finished his statement, you slowly opened your eyes to observe your surroundings; however, you could only make out the colors. Slowly, your tears rolled down past your chin and your ears started blocking out all the unnecessary sounds as you only listened to your head screaming at you.

Thus, you turned to the male and whispered, “I can’t tell who you are just from your voice.”

He took your hands in his palms and placed them on his face for you to feel. You brushed your thumb against his cheeks before drawing his eyelids with your index finger, then grazed his bottom lip with your thumb. You moved your fingers down the bridge of his nose, hence you repeated, “I still can’t tell who you are.”

The boy forced a sad smile about to introduce himself, but decided against it. Instead, he let go of your hand and said, “Give if it a few weeks, your vision will return eventually.”

You muttered, “I believe it won’t. Unlike you, I’m pessimistic.”

You patted the sand twice before sitting on the ground just a few meters away the water. The same male who introduced himself as Hyeong watched you as you stared straight into the distance. You were just staying at the beach on your fifth day, and the most you could do was walk near the ocean or feel the sand beneath your palms. Hyeong sauntered towards you, halting only a few inches away from you before taking his seat.

You asked, “What do you see right now?”

He explained, “The water’s clear, there are less people strolling around the sand, the sky’s a mixture of pink and orange, and the sun’s almost setting down.”

“What else?” You questioned him wile you looked straight ahead of you. His breathing became ragged as he muttered under his breath, “You.”

He took you back home when the time neared ten in the evening. The man drove the car back to Layte Street and parked in the parking lot behind the TRXY building, before getting inside the club. However, upon entering the bar he saw their heir, Kang Daniel, aiming his handgun at the other male in front of him, Kim Jaehwan.

Daniel exclaimed, “You’re fucking kidding me, aren’t you? Set the jokes aside, Jaehwan.”

The male only gave Daniel an indifferent look before he answered Daniel’s question, “You failed, Daniel. That’s all there is to say; the agent’s three steps ahead of you, so why not just give her what she wants and so shall you get yours in return.”

Jaehwan moved the bullet hole away from his eye, thus said sternly, “You’re not a threat to me, Kang. You don’t scare anyone anymore, even your cousin knows that.”

Daniel only looked ahead as his friend left the bar. The younger male only sighed as he walked towards Daniel’s cousin. The woman ignored the whole scenario and only minded her notes while Park Jihoon sat beside her. The older male approached the two and questioned, “What does a girl look for in a man?”

The female looked up at him then answered, “Are you even a man, Heong Seop? In my eyes, you’re a just a boy in love with a girl who doesn’t love you back--it’s unrequited.”

Heong Seop was about to reply, but she intervened first, “Just because she’s blind now, doesn’t mean she’ll change her focus and look at you instead.”

“So you just want me to give up, because she’s in love with Min Gi?” Heong Seop asked, his hands balling into a fist as he gulped down on his saliva. The female finished, “Why not?”

Heong Seop knew she was right, he just didn’t like giving up especially if it involved you.

You paced around your house trying to find the phone; it had been ringing thrice this morning. After a few minutes of brushing your hands against the objects, you finally found the telephone thus quickly you lifted the phone and placed it near your left ear.

“Hyeong?” You asked softly. On the other line, he could only hear the crack of your voice. Today was your seventeenth day and there was no improvement as the days passed. Heong Seop felt his guilt eating him up in the inside. That night, he drifted his car from the corner block; however, he didn’t notice your car beside him which lead to the crash.

He replied after a long pause, “I’ll meet you there in your house. I’ll just go buy breakfast from Pete and Pipper’s.”

You didn’t respond back, because he cut the call afterwards. You went back to your room slowly, then searched for a casual dress to pair with your flats. Feeling on the fabric and corners of the dress, you eventually made out the outline of the clothing. Thereafter, you wore your only pair of shoes before going back down towards the kitchen.

After fifteen minutes, you heard your door opening. You lent Heong Seop a spare key for him to drop by. When Heong Seop reached the kitchen, he saw you dressed in a yellow Sunday dress. Heong Seop thought your vision had gone back because you were looking at him until you asked, “Hyeong, is that you?”

“Yes, it is.” He said before placing the plastic on the table and assembling the food. He observed you as you snapped the chopsticks apart and tapped on different areas of your plate to find the food. 

He asked, “Do you need any help?”

You shook your head in response, but he noticed you struggle. Heong Seop stood up and took your chopsticks away from you so he could feed you properly. When you finished your food, you sighed, “Thank you.”

He then brought you outside to shop. Heong Seop glanced at a flower boutique before he told you to wait for him and just stand on your current spot. You trusted him and didn’t move, but as your vision started getting clearer as you blinked. You caught a glimpse of male walking from the other side.

“Min Gi?” You muttered before running towards him and shouting, “Min Gi!”

The male looked at you and his eyes widened when he saw your body on the ground only a few meters away the car that hit you. Heong Seop rushed outside when he heard Min Gi’s name, he was certain that it was you.

When he saw you bleeding on the ground, he could almost hear his heart beating in his ears. His hand growing numb and in effect the marigolds dropped to the floor. But what hurt most was that Min Gi was holding your frail body tightly.

Rather than rushing towards you, he called up the hospital, “A girl got hit by a car in Leighton Street. We’re currently located at the timesquare. Please, hurry, she’s losing a lot of blood from her head.”

The two males were crying torn between their minds and their hearts. Min Gi whispered, “Stay awake, please. Just stay awake.”
