Topic > SUNSET - 10 PM

My hands shook violently as Taemin gently removed the blindfold covering my eyes. The blood pounded in my head. I bit my lip as I tried to calm my pounding heart. The blindfold fell from my eyes and I felt like I might faint at any moment. I gritted my teeth. “Baekhyun, open your eyes slowly,” Taemin whispered and took my hand. I took a deep breath. I opened my eyes and saw nothing. I blinked. Once. Twice. Three times. No. Every muscle in my body froze. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move. The world had stopped. No. Hot, heavy tears streamed down my face. “Baekhyun? Can you see us?" Chanyeol asked, touching my face. Instead of answering, I just shook my head. I clenched my fists. I couldn't stop crying. "Can you guys give us a minute please?" Suho said to the others. "Luhan , Chanyeol, you can both stay." I heard the door open and close as the others left the room. I heard Taemin sigh. “Hyung, listen to me please. You need to undergo eye drop treatment sessions. Do you understand?” Taemin said as he held both my hands. I nodded at him. “But what if it doesn't work? Will I no longer be able to see?" I trembled involuntarily. “You will have another transplant,” Suho whispered. “Baekhyun-ah.” I felt Luhan put his arm around me. I haven't heard anything from Chanyeol. “Chanyeol?” I reached it blindly. “I'm here,” he said as he took my hand. “On second thought, if you don't mind, I want to talk to Baekhyun, alone,” Suho told them. “Of course,” Taemin replied. “Then we'll be outside,” Chanyeol murmured and kissed my forehead. Suho waited for them to leave the room before speaking to me. “Baekyunnie.” Suho took my hands in his. “Hyung, what if I can't see anymore?” I sobbed. “Listen to me. I want you to keep it in my... in the center of the paper... as it was returned to me. Like lost objects. The sun was halfway across the horizon. The lake below, just as I remembered, sparkled. The forest, so alive. I smiled at the scene before me. “It's beautiful,” Chanyeol said. I looked at him. To her perfect face. God. It's like I'm seeing Him again for the first time. It shone before my eyes. If I were his angel, then he would be my angel too. I could almost imagine him with wings and a halo on his head. I was drowning in her perfection, my eyes tracing every curve and dip of her face and body. “Yes, it's beautiful,” I said. He turned to me. I stare into his eyes. I could see myself reflected in them. Love was deep inside them. My angel smiled at me and leaned down to kiss me. It was the best birthday ever. “I love you,” I whispered against his lips. “I love you too,” Chanyeol whispered back, pulling me closer to him.finis
