Hourglass

First of all, I have to thank Myt_kun for making this translation possible

So this was posted a loooooooooong time ago but I lost the link so...yeah...sorry 'bout tat XD

 

Secondly, I think there needs to be an explanation for the plot that seems to be confusing for some. So basically Tao is a time-traveler, and Sehun can see the future. Tao hates his life, and Sehun is blind. So one fine spring day, Tao finds himself traveling many years into the past and meets Sehun. Tao does not age, and even when he's back to his time, he always goes to find Sehunnie. Note that Sehun is basically the age of Tao's grandfather if Tao is in his present time. Sehun sees that he's dying and , but he knows that his pain can never be compared to that of Tao because Tao cannot age, thus seeing all his loved ones die one by one until he's all by himself. Yes Sehun knows that Tao is from the future. People know Sehun has this ability too, hence the news article near the end. Also, when Tao is 29 years old (but still looking 19), he feels like a erted old man seeking a teenager like Sehun but doing the math, Sehun is way older than him in present time. So I guess...it's pretty confusing. Mianheyo.

 

The sequel is pending. Hooray!!!! I can't give out much details, but it is basically a dystopian!au where Tao is roaming the world by himself, and he meets a descendant of Sehun OuO or reincarnation, whichever you prefer.

 

XOXO
