As Blind As Could Be...

Earlier…

New Mansion
The morning of you discharge. A few hours before Chanyeol was sent to get you.

Third Person POV

The boys just finished eating breakfast and are greeted by Eunsoo’s father. He asks them to sit down in the high-ceiling living room.

“Today is the day of my daughter’s discharge.” He begins. “I know she considers you all as family. I know how important you all are to her. And this is why I’ve been housing you guys and letting my workers take care of you. (Pause) But as you know, she’s been down about Kyungsoo’s death. I don’t want her to mourn for the rest of her life… so I have a request.”

“Anything.” Suho replies. “We’ll do anything for her.”

“I’m sure you would.” He smiles back. “For the next few days, I want you to pretend that Kyungsoo never died. As a matter of fact, like Kyungsoo’s death was nothing, or didn’t happen. Make her happy and bring great memories, like always. Distract her from thinking about it. That’s what her biological older brother informed me to tell you. It’s the best way for her to fully recover.”

“So you want us to pretend Kyungsoo’s death didn’t mean anything to us?” Lay repeats.

“Yes.”

“How?” Kai stands up, objecting. “I know she’s having a hard time right now, but we are getting it bad too. I am getting it horrible. Not as much as Eunsoo-ah, but way too similar to agree to this.”

“Jongin.” Minseok pulls his hand down, forcing him to sit. “Calm down, won’t you.”

“I know it’s selfish of me to ask. I apologise for that.” Eunsoo’s father sighs. “I just want what’s best for my daughter. She’s the only child I have now, so I want what’s best for her. So… I’m just asking you to enlighten her mood and try to make her forget about the darkness of life. Bring her light.”

“We will.” Tao says determined.

“And I hope you two especially. (points at Tao and Kris) I welcome you back for the only reason being she cares about you. I don’t want her to be in a gloomy mood because you two weren’t here.” He gets up and bows. “Thank you for agreeing to do this for me. I greatly appreciate it.”

After a few minutes, he leaves. The boys look at each other. Unsure of how to act when Eunsoo arrives. Unsure on how to act when she’s around.

“How does he expect us to do this?” Luhan asks.

Chanyeol’s POV

Namsan Tower
12 am

We’ve succeeded with father’s request. I hope… at least for now. As of now, we’re just chilling on the lift as it moves up and down. It’s what I requested from the workers. If it’s this later, we might as well just sleep here.

Eunsoo is sleeping… on Jongin’s shoulder. Yeesh. I should’ve told the guys when I had the chance at dinner. I hope she's okay. I hope nothing's going to happen to her now. What can be worse? What more can happen to her? Nothing... right?

Eunsoo’s POV

UAHHH~! I’m tired. I open my eyes to find myself resting on Kai’s shoulder. I look up and see Chanyeol watching, but he quickly looks away. Slowly, I lift my head and look around. We’re still on the lift. Sheeshes.

I hear a slight snore and look to my left. Kyungsoo was leaning on the window. Back slouched, wearing all white with a black jacket. His heart-shaped lips are mouthing words. He must be in a deep sleep. I smile. Wait… Kyungsoo? Kyungsoo?!

I scream and jump, which startles everyone. I turn into Kai’s jacket and close my eyes shut, shaking, holding onto his sleeve (not arm, just sleeve).

“W-what happened!” Luhan asks.

I turn to my left to find Luhan in the spot I saw Kyungsoo sleeping in.

“N-nothing.” I hesitate. “I just thought… no, nevermind. Nothing.”




Suddenly, I felt the urge to jump out of this lift and fly away. I shut my eyes and reopen them. The lift was empty. I was the only one in it. Me and this… wolf. I smile and the wolf comes near me, expecting to be pet and loved. I smile wider and start petting it’’s soft fur. I look up and around to find that there was fire everywhere. Burning forests, smoke about to burn the lift down.

“We have to get out of here.” I say to the wolf and look down.

Kyungsoo looks up at me.

“Why? I love it when you caress my hair.” He smiles.

I look at my hand that continues to stroke Kyungsoo’s hair. Yeesh, what the hell’s going on? I run and open the lift doors using the emergency handle. The lift was starting to melt.

“WE HAVE TO GO NOW!” I yell.

Kyungsoo shakes his head no. Why doesn’t he listen to me? I yank his hand over and over again, for some reason, he was as strong as a metal. I gave my last blow, my last yank with all my strength, and this time, lifting him up was to easy. We fall out of the lift.

“EUNSOO-AH!” Luhan screams.

I hear a yell. I shake my head back to reality. The lift doors are open. I look down at the darkness of the forest and streets below. I look to find myself dangling from the lift and scream.

“HELP ME~!” I panic.

I don’t stop screaming. Tears fall out of my eyes, but are quickly dried by the high altitude of wind at this height. Red flashing lights come from the top of the lift. Meaning that help was on the way. Chanyeol takes my arm and pulls me. Baekhyun and Sehun help him. Xiumin and Kris take my other arm and pull me up. The rest of the boys close the lift doors with all of their might. I hear a sigh of relief from the guys. I hold onto Chanyeol like my life depended on it. Shaking. Shaking so much that the lift is slightly shaking because of me. What the hell was that? A hallucination. All of us are on the floor of the lift. They breathe heavily and some put their hands on their hearts.

I hear the boys talking amongst themselves as the lift slowly moves back to the ground. They review what I did. How I opened the lift doors so easily, when it was suppose to be locked and secured.

Chanyeol pulls me closer to him. Shaking as well. I look around at the boys and notice that they all have shocked, confused and worried looks on their faces. Looks like they couldn’t believe what just happened.

I see someone get up and come to support me. As he approaches, I notice, once again, it was Kyungsoo. His smile melts my heart as he kneels down and caresses my hair gently.

“Are you okay?” He asks.

I shake my head and bury my face into Chanyeol’s shoulder. Closing my eyes tightly, hoping that Kyungsoo would go away. Hoping that it wasn’t real and was all a dream to begin with. Hoping that I never left that hospital room.

I slowly look up at Chanyeol. He looks at me with tearful and worried eyes. His face slowly transforms to Kyungsoo’s. Looking at me with the same expression. My breathing starts to pick up once more and I go crazy. I scream so loudly, the boys cover their ears.

And I can’t remember what happens next…
