As Blind As Could Be...

“Well… he has something of mine.” Chanyeol says. “He has… my galaxy. He has you. You told me that night you saw the galaxy in my eyes. Well to me, my galaxy is you. All I see is you. And now… he’s taken it away from me. He’s taking you away from me!”

“I’m not ‘yours’ anymore.” You look down.

You hold his hands in your own, slowly spreading his arms wider apart until they were wide open in the air. You lower your hands. He takes a breath and looks at you.

“Cha.” You say, slowly. “This is the last time… I’m going to kiss away the pain.”

You gently and weakly cup his head with your hands. He blinks, then closes his eyes. You cautiously make your way to his face. And when your face is close enough to his, you felt his short breaths. You panick and your heart rate speeds up. You shake your head and move your hands to wrap around his neck. You move your head to the side and put your head on his shoulder. He opens his eyes in shock and dramatically hugs you back. The wind starts to pick up as he tightens his grasp. Tears come falling down your face, but are quickly dried.

And weirdly… it wasn’t him who was experiencing anything… it was you.

You are reminded of the first time you met him… not at that phone store. The first time you heard his voice. At the time, he was close with Baekhyun, and he was the one who introduced Chanyeol to the club.

Everyone in Music Club was doing their own thing. Luhan was singing a Chinese song. Jongdae was having fun and playing around with a violin. Suho was playing the cello and humming. You and Kyungsoo were singing a duet. You are standing, strumming an acoustic guitar (strap around your neck) and Kyungsoo was next to you, holding the sheet for him to read. Kyungsoo sings as you harmonize and strum the guitar. You memorized all of the chords on the guitar, with the help of Baekhyun. Baekhyun and a friend arrived just as you and Kyungsoo reached the high notes.

No one was paying attention to Baekhyun because he usually comes late. Everyone stops and notices the new boy. You keep on singing and strumming the guitar, unaware of you surroundings. You stop, hearing only your voice in the room.

“There’s a new kid… Baekhyun brought him.” Kyungsoo whispers in your ear.

You nod.

“This is my friend. He’s lowerclassmen, but his voice is amazing. I thought he could join our club, if you guys didn’t mind.” Baekhyun smiles.

“Annyeonghaseyo, my name is Park Chanyeol. Please take care of me.” Chanyeol bows.

Everyone bows back together except for you.

“Annyeonghaseyo Park Chanyeol.” You smile and bow (separately). “I’m the founder of this club. Do Eunsoo. If Baekhyun recommends you to join the club, then your no joke.”

“Ne…Thank you.” Chanyeol stutters. “I… I hope I’ll do well in this club.”

“Yah, yah.” Luhan smiles. “Let’s hear you play something.”

“I… I’m a little rusty... and nervous.” Chanyeol says shyly.

“Don’t be.” You smile. “Everyone here at first was nervous… but this is just a club. There’s nothing to be nervous about, we’re just people.”

You could tell from his voice, he was stiffened and nervous. You smile.

“Could I use that guitar?” Chanyeol asks.

You nod and unwrap the guitar strap from your neck, bringing the guitar down. You panic for a second, forgetting where to were supposed to walk. Chanyeol blinks and tilts his head.

“K-kyungsoo…” You say and immediately, the entire club comes to your aid.

You laugh as they guide you to Chanyeol.

“Sorry.” You reply. “I may have a talent with music, but my eyes are another story.”

Chanyeol laughs along with you.

“I’ve heard a lot about you, Do Eunsoo-shi. I hope you enjoy what I’ve prepared for you.”

Kyungsoo takes you to sit down. You sit up straight, attempting to act like a strong, powerful President of the club. But when Chanyeol plays a song on the guitar, unexpectedly, it softens your body.

You smile. He smiles seeing you enlightened by his voice. After he’s finished, it was quiet. The boys were waiting on your approval of him.

“Welcome to the club.” You smirk. “Call me Yeowang.”

As minutes turned into hours and days turned into weeks, Chanyeol soon was a regular member of the Music Club. Having a special connection with you.

“Aigoo. Why not?” Chanyeol complains. “Your supposed to be in my class anyways. Wae, you don’t like me?”

“Aniiii, it’s not that.” You smile. “It’s just that Kyungsoo is the only one who really knows how to teach me and everything… if that makes sense. (you pause and shake your head) I mean, he helps me understand what we’re learning in class. He’s basically my second teacher. And you know us being the inseparable twins so we mostly never leave each other’s side and-”

Chanyeol shoves his sandwich into your mouth.

“Mostly never… well lucky me to have lunch with you today, alone.” Chanyeol smiles. “Maybe we could be the inseparable twins now.”

“Yah!” You say with your mouthful. “You wish.”

Chanyeol laughs and kisses your cheek.

You secretly grew a liking towards him without even realising it. Without knowing what he looked like, just his personality.

And when you could finally see… the first time you met him with your eyes, you didn’t recognise him at all. But you fell in love with his looks and pure heart so easily after a few days. Which is why you were willing to skip an entire school day and be with him. Which is why you offered him to live with you and Kyungsoo. Which is why you kissed him three days after your eyesight was back… at the Han River.

[Review of Chapter 5]

You spend the entire day at the amusement park, riding rides, winning mini-games, playing at the arcade, eating cotton candy, playing laser tag. It was night and you both were tired.

You walk to the Han River, how beautiful the water was coming out from the bridge. You sit down at the stairs. You sit two up from him. Chanyeol looks at you and sees the reflection of the lights in your eyes. You look back at him and smile. Hot tears roll down his cold cheeks. You examine his face closely. There’s a bruise on his face from this morning when the loan shark hit him in the face. You frown. You look closely at his hands, putting them close to your eyes. There were fabric burns trying to pull you away from the loan sharks. Tears from your eyes fell upon his hands and it stings the burns. You look back at Chanyeol, who’s face was covered with tears. He slowly leans towards you and rests his head on your right thigh, hugging your waist, crying loudly.

“I-I’m sorry you had to witness a-all of that. I (hiccup) I didn’t mean for the debt to get t-th-that high. I don’t have any money to give them (hiccup). I need to save it for college (hiccup) but if (hiccup) they take that away, I won’t be able to go. (hiccup) I don’t even have that much saved for college. I-”

“Shhhhhh… I know, I know. It’s just the fate set on you. Mine was my eyes, you’re was endless debt. But the thing is… everyone has an angel to take care of them and take care of that fate. Mine was Kyungsoo and my father. For you, it’ll be me. I’ll pay for all of the debts you have. I’ll take care of your college funds. I’ll give you and your mother a better house, a better life, a restart. I know these are all words, but eventually, your bad fate, will vanish and something good will fill in the space… But just for now, do you want me to kiss away the pain?” You say and he looks up at you.

Without him answering, you kiss his eyelids, under eye area, and his wound on his cheek for a long time, like he did you. You let go and are nose to nose with him (not forehead too, only nose). Without hesitation, he stands up, helps you up and immediately kisses you. You inhale when he does. He pulls you in closer, by the waist. You put your arms around his neck and you let him explore you, (more than Kyungsoo aha). He is literally letting you kiss away the pain. You’ve known him for such a long time, yet only seen him for three days. You bet he’s been wanting to do this for a while now. You kiss for as long as possible (5 minutes).

That’s why you acted that way… you loved him all along. And now… your letting him go because your pregnant. With Luhan.

You push Chanyeol back, away from you.

“Chanyeol… I…” You start to say.

“If you thought this would help me forget about you… about us, you thought wrong. I am never going to leave your side. I am never going to let go of you and I absolutely will NOT let Luhan get in my way of doing so.” Chanyeol says with a deep voice. “I’m not letting you go so easily. All of those years in high school to now. You are my first love. I’ve been in love with you since the moment I saw you in school. The moment I laid eyes on you. And when you could finally see… I was hoping for you to love me back. And overtime, you did. And I bet you still do. I’ve loved you for 10 years. 1o YEARS. And I still love you now, Do Eunsoo. From Freshman of high school to now. Taking me to a stupid cliff won’t change anything. It won’t push away the feelings I had for you for those 10 years. I don’t care if your pregnant or not. I don’t even care if your halfway across the globe. My feelings for you will never change. And your just going to have to accept that.”

You give each other a death stare and the wind dances around you, playing with your hair and clothes.

“I will accept that your feelings for me are still strong and pure. I will accept that you still love me. I’m not stopping you at all.” You say. “But… there is a consequence.”

“Consequence?” Chanyeol questions. “Why are there consequences in love?”

You ignore his question and sigh. You take a deep breath.

“I don’t care what you do Chanyeol. And I admit… I love you.” You say. “But I have responsibilities to take care of and members that look up to me. I won’t try to change your feelings for me. Heck, if I tried, it wouldn’t influence anything. But… if you keep going with this… if you can’t change your affections towards me…”

You pause and break the stare, looking down. You quietly curse yourself for saying what your about to announce to him. You meet his eyes once more.

“I love you Chanyeol, but not the way your hoping. And if you can’t accept that, I have no choice… but to kick you out of the group.” You say weakly.

Chanyeol is held aback.

“What?” He blinks.

You cover your face with your hands and breath. You move your hands up to the back of your head, running your fingers through your hair and continue to meet his eyes.

After a long silence, Chanyeol finally speaks.

“Is this President Lee’s condition? It is isn’t it? You still love me. I know you do Eunsoo-ah. Don’t let President Lee control you.” Chanyeol tries to negotiate.

“It was my decision.” You lie. “I was going to tell you at a better time, but I guess now will have to do. Never in my life have I thought our relationship would have to come like this. I don’t want this either Chanyeol. I’d hate to see you leave. I don’t want you to leave… but if it’s the only way you can forget about me, if it’s the only way you’ll move on, then so be it.”

You break the stare and head to Baekhyun and Luhan.

The cliff is quiet. The wind is hushed by your fury. The grass stiffens and stands up straight, sharp. The sun’s bright light is concealed by white fluffy balls that formed in the air. The children on the beach were silenced by their parents. The ocean was still, a low current. All you could hear were the small waves crashing into the coastline. Chanyeol steps back and stares at the ground. He falls onto his knees as if he weighed tons of pounds. And for the first time on the “Cliff of Tearless Memories,” a tear is shed.

“How is he?” Baekhyun asks.

“I’m pretty sure he’s in a shocked state.” You reply. “I explained to him the consequences.”

“President Lee made that one a bit too harsh.” Luhan replies.

“Tell me about it.” You roll your eyes.

“Did you tell him President Lee was that one that made that consequence?” Baekhyun asks you.

“No… I didn’t.” You shrug and sigh. “I guess it’s more effective if I tell him I made the consequence up.”

There was a pause.

“Yah, you two go first. I’ll wait for Chanyeol.” Baekhyun suggests.

“Are you sure?” Luhan asks.

“Eo. Don’t worry about it.” Baekhyun smiles.

You hug Baekhyun and go down the mountain with Luhan, headed for Baekhyun’s grandmother’s house.

“Does this mean I get you all to myself?” Luhan smiles, taking your hand and interlocking it with his.

His other hand is on the steering wheel.

“Yah.” You tease. “You want me all to yourself? You gotta get passed the other nine boys waiting in line.”

He laughs.

“But seriously though…” Luhan says. “Since your pregnant, do we both get ‘maternity leave’ from SM?”

You pause and think.

“Ani.” You reply. “I’m sure even if I’m 9 months pregnant with a big ass stomach, President Lee will have me on a schedule… or us on a schedule.”

Luhan laughs once more.

On the other hand…

Baekhyun walks to Chanyeol, who was still on the ground. He sighs and crouches down with him. Chanyeol quickly wipes his tears.

“Yah (sniff) this is suppose to be a (sniff) cliff of tearless (sniff) memories. Why doesn’t it work on me? (sniff) Why does it (sniff) only work when she’s here?” Chanyeol pouts. “Did she leave?”

Baekhyun laughs to himself.

“Eo. I told her to leave first with Luhan.” Baekhyun answers.

“That womanizer. (Sniff) Jerk. He's no friend of mine (sniff).” Chanyeol pouts once more.

“C’mon, get up.” Baekhyun replies. “You aren’t the only one who’s experienced heart break.”

Chanyeol gets up with the help of Baekhyun and they walk down the mountain. Baekhyun’s arm around Chanyeol, patting him as an act of comfort.

Baekhyun’s Grandmother’s House
6pm

“Yah! You guys finally came!” Chen smiles as Baekhyun and Chanyeol enter.

“What took you guys so long?” Chanyeol’s mother says, coming to hug his son.

Chanyeol shoots a glance at you and you look away, guilty.

“There was traffic.” Chanyeol shrugs.

“C’mon, the foods ready, we were just waiting for you guys to arrive.” Baekhyun’s halmoni smiles.

They bow and follow everyone into the main dining room.

There was SO much food. And surprisingly, Luhan’s mother was there.

“Welcome back, oh, we missed you so much.” Minseok’s mother says to Luhan’s mother.

“I know, I know, things have happened. I’m so glad we have a huge reunion right now.” Luhan’s mother smiles.

You look and Kyungsoo and sadden. Eomma and Appa…

Just then there’s an open of the front door.

“We’re here!” Your father says. “There was a lot of traffic.”

“We came from the airport!” You mother smiles.

Everyone, especially you and Kyungsoo stand up as they walk into the dining room.

“Eomma?” You ask.

“Appa?” Kyungsoo questions.

You both go up and hug them.

“Oh! My baby’s having a baby!” Eomma smiles.

Once the greetings were placed and everything was settled… there was that talk.

“So, what are you planning on doing with my daughter now that you banged her up?”

Luhan slightly chokes on his food. The parents giggle and the members chuckle to themselves. You laugh and drink some water.

“I… um (clears throat)... It depends on what President Lee wants us to do. He creates our schedules and, depending on how busy our schedule will be, I’m not so sure yet… father-in-law.” Luhan replies.

Appa nods his head. “I could just negociate with him and give him money.”

“Yah!” You object. “Appa, you can’t just go the easy way and tell him you’ll give him money. He’ll ask for trillions of won (korean money).”

“That’s true.” Xiumin nods. “That’s what his life is based on. No wonder he has no children… or wife.”

“Haha, his money is his wife. Duh.” Chen smiles, chewing on food.

You and the EXO family sit and converse. For some reason, for the entire time, Chanyeol was quiet and spaced out.

Should I say anything to him? You think. I wonder what he’s thinking about.

“Chanyeol…” You start and the room gets silent.

They all know… you and Chanyeol aren’t… well to be honest, all of the parents wanted you to end up with Chanyeol, but since Luhan was back into the picture, they all had to forget about their imagination and desires.

“Chanyeol?!” You repeat.

He looks up.

“Huh?” He replies. “Ah, sorry. What did you ask again, Eunsoo-ah?”Eunsoo-ah… no more… Yeowang? You think, slowly to yourself.

“You look like you’ve been hushed or something. Is there something wrong?” You ask.

It takes more than a moment for Chanyeol to reply. His mother, and the rest of the parents start to form concerned faces. He looks down to his food, then back to you.









“I guess my mind is in the galaxy these days.” Chanyeol replies, giving you a death stare.

You clear your throat and look down, stiffening your posture. Kyungsoo puts his arm around you, holding your waist, pulling you closer to him. He comforts you without noise. You soften and look back at Chanyeol. You smile.

“Well, I hope the galaxy doesn’t bring yourself elsewhere. Where’s the life of EXO? Huh? Exo’s Voice? I hope those traits haven’t left you, yet.” You laugh.

The parents grin and EXO follows, knowing the real meaning to the words you communicate with each other.

Chanyeol shakes head, making his hair go crazy and forces a smile.





“There, happy?” Chanyeol says, which brings light laughter.

You could tell it was forced. Your forcing everything on him. There’s nothing he can do about it either… if he doesn’t want to leave your side. But he can’t be by your side, because your with Luhan now. And he doesn’t want to leave you, so… he’s living with pain every second he sees you with Luhan.

“OKAY!” Sehun’s mother livens up the atmosphere. “It’s the last time our Eunsoo-ah can drink. Let’s all cheers as one! Cheers to Luhan’s return. Cheers to an upcoming baby. Cheers to a REUNION!”

“CHEERS!” Everyone replies.

You drink and drink and drink.

You were about to take another shot. You lift your shot glass. Chanyeol takes the glass out of your hand.

“That’s enough.” Chanyeol sighs. “Your not even good at drinking.”

And he takes the shot for you.

Suho, Xiumin, Sehun and Lay are the only ones sober. The others, including you, are drunk asf. Chanyeol is the most drunk. You can’t blame him.

Sehun drives you and Luhan home.

“Hyung, I want to sleep with Noona tonight.” Sehun announces.

You nod and your head drops, eyes closed, hair crazy like the grudge. Luhan makes a hand gesture, allowing Sehun to do as he pleases.

You, Luhan and Sehun are the first ones to arrive back at the dorm.

Luhan makes his way from the car to Sehun, Suho and Chanyeol’s room, sleeping in Sehun’s bed.

Sehun gets out of the drivers seat. He walks around the car, doing a semi-circle and reaches your car door, the passenger’s seat (front). He unseatbelts you and lifts you up. You wrap your arms and legs around Sehun by instinct and Sehun holds your thighs carrying you inside. You were stomach to stomach, chest to chest. Your long breaths tickle his neck and he can’t help but to laugh from it.

He asked to sleep with you tonight by request from Suho. They both knew what type of person Luhan is when he’s drunk. When your drunk. So…

Sehun strips you and puts your pajamas on. He don’t care about your private parts, he has a younger sister too… and he’s seen you, they all have, as I keep reminding. He changes into his pajamas and snuggles up with you in bed. You two are on your sides, facing each other.

You sleep in peace and beauty. Sehun watches you and smiles. The moonlight glowing on your pale skin. He caresses your hair and pats it. He then sighs and switches his position so he was laying on his back. He looks up at the ceiling and cracks his neck.

“Everything’s messed up now.” Sehun says. “Wu Yifan and Huang Zitao are still gone. Jongin and Kyungsoo are together. Lay has returned… finally. Eunsoo-ah is pregnant. Luhan is back. Chanyeol is heartbroken. Where did we go wrong?”

He ruffles his hair and messes up the sheets and comforter with his legs. He sits up and hears the dorm door open and close. He walks out of your room and closes the door silently.

“I’m not sleeping in the same room as Luhan! As that girlfriend-stealing freak!” Chanyeol raises his voice.

“Shhh!” Suho says. “Sehun, Luhan and Eunsoo-ah are sleeping. Don’t be such a burden and sleep.”

“Yaah! Let me just sleep with Eunsoo-ah!” Chanyeol suggests.

“Shut up!” Sehun walks towards them. “Let’s go Chanyeol, you’ll just sleep with me.”

“I got Eunsoo-ah.” Suho mouths to Sehun.

Sehun nods in response. He takes Chanyeol into the room and that’s the last of them.

Suho walks into the room to find you sleeping so beautifully. A grin rises on his face and he leaves the room to change into his night wear.

He returns to find Kyungsoo, Kai, Chen and Baekhyun snuggling with you.

“Aish these drunk boys.” Suho mumbles.

Xiumin walks into the room.

“Aiishhh.” He says. “I left them for one second to change.”

They look at each other and laugh, shrugging. They leave the room and sleep in the empty dorm room.

You were sandwiched by all of them, Jongin and Baekhyun were literally on top of you, but not on your stomach. Kyungsoo was spooning you. Chen was in the position Sehun was in, on his side. You moved around to face Kyungsoo and Baekhyun fell deeper on to you, putting great weight on you (your still on your side). Baekhyun puts his arms around you and you do to him. And with that, everyone fell asleep.
