That night Hyuna had a nightmare. It was a blurry one but colourful. Like when she had her vision when she was a small girl. She could her

them laughing. Not the joyous kind but a snide, mocking laugh. Those laughs you make when you see a loser at a party. Out of place. She

feels a million knots in her tummy. She tried to keep her face straight but she couldn't. She looked around for Junhyung but he wasn't there.

Before she could call him, the lights went down, and everyone in that huge room shushed. The huge spotlight landed on a beaming couple.

It was Junhyung. His arm around a beautiful lady. But it wasn't her.

" No..... please. " She felt herself going weak.

" I'm right here.... don't leave.... " She whispered uselessly.

He strides past her slowly. Not even glancing at her. He looked really happy. Her whole body could feel the jolt of her heart. She continued

wanting to scream but she couldn't.

" Wake up.... Hyuna? Wake up. " Someone unsurely shook her shoulder.

Her eyes flew open. And she breathed. Her eyes were wet. Hyuna felt a hand and hurriedly held it tight. The hand was warm.

" Don't leave me. " She said.

" Um... okay. It's okay. Don't cry. " He said calmly.

Hesitantly combing her hair. Hyuna nods, inhaling slowly. Dongwoon blinks, his hand awkwardly brushing her hair off her face. She was

screaming so loud in her dream he could hear her from the kitchen. Junhyung was no where to be found so he decided to see to her. He

listens to Hyuna's breathing regulates and soon she fell asleep. He simply smiles, a jab at his heart. If this is the only chance I would have

with you, it's enough, he thought. Hyung is your destiny. He watches her sleep, wondering when did he actually started to like her. Touching

her cheek softly, he bent down to kiss her but stopped. He swallowed a lump in his throat and walked away from her room. A searing burn

in his heart and throat.

The next morning, the Yong family set up a huge breakfast for the guests. Hyuna and Junhyung obviously sat together. Dongwoon settled

for a seat opposite them, his actions last night, he pretended didn't take place.

A lady beside Hyuna nudged her, eagerly. " The decor last night was very pretty! Did you see the way the hanging lights lit up? Amazing. "

Hyuna blinks rapidly. Not quite sure how to deliver the message. Did this woman miss the announcement of her lack of vision?

" I um... can't see. I'm blind. " Hyuna says with a tight smile. The woman with her bread halfway from gaped at her.

" Oh...... ohmygod I'm sorry. I- You look normal. So I thought.... I mean you didn't seem... blind." She said hurriedly, looking at Hyuna as

if she's an exotic creature with feathers at her back.

Junhyung clears his throat. " Uh... Aunt. I know my fiance is pretty but - " He laughs " Please continue to eat your bread and soup. "

The exchange attracted a lot of looks and a lingering question hung in the air.

" Where did he even find her..... " Hyuna heard someone whisper at the far end. Her breakfast suddenly seemed unappetizing.

" I think I'll head up. " Hyuna said briskly, getting up. To her surprise, Mr Yong got up and cleared the air.

" If everyone would've asked, Hyuna is an orphan, but her parents are none other than my own close friends. They died when she was

young. " Mr Yong let the truth out. Hyuna froze.

" My friends departed this world too early. Leaving their own enterprise unattended. But I thought it would be best to marry off Junhyung

and Hyuna here. They look like a good pair, don't you think? " He continues, cheerily holding a orange juice glass to them.

At the word ' enterprise ' everyone's eyebrows shot up. And they raised their glasses, acknowledging Hyuna as their own. Rich and classy.

Junhyung gazes down at his plate, his face burning. " Why is father telling such a lie? " He glances at Hyuna, whose face was blank but her

eyes are cold. Junhyung muttered a lame sorry.

◆

Hyuna sat on the swing at the Yong's balcony. The day turned to night and everyone have gone home, even the boys. But the couple stayed.

Junhyung sighed in relief as he found Hyuna. He started to make his way to her but stopped.

" Moon, When I get my eyes operated on, come out and see me okay? I..... I really miss you." She said casually, her head tilted to the sky.

Junhyung watched her, shaking his head. She stretched her arms widely, embracing the night sky.

"I think I'll get married. " She announces happily, like she decided she was going to have a rabbit. Junhyung raised his eyebrows, eyes wide. 

" If Mrs Yong wants me to have an operation, I will. But not to be like them, but for myself. I want to see...... so badly. You know, these

days I start yearning to be able to see. Especially - " She catches herself mid sentence and smiles to herself. As if hiding a secret.

" Especially what??? " Junhyung asks, hating cliffhangers.

" Who's there? " Hyuna suddenly stood up, looking at him directly he felt she could actually see him.

Chills ran up the back of his neck. He clears his throat. " It's me. Just me. " He says cheerily.

Hyuna's eyes soften and she smiled. Then froze, her eyes furtively glanced to the right and left. " How long were you there? " She asks.

He shrugged, as if she could see. " Just came up. What were you doing? " He pretended not to know.

" Oh nothing. Enjoying the breeze. " She believes him, smiling nervously.

He takes her small hands, and turns to see her face. Wondering what life would be like if he spent his entire life with her. Staring at a face

like hers. Hearing her laugh and cries. Junhyung found himself smiling. That wouldn't be too bad, he thought.

" Hey, there's a small night bazaar open nearby. Wanna go and visit? " He asks, nudging her.

Hyuna hugs herself. " What if they stare? It will get crampy, I don't want them to complain. " She said.

He rolls his eyes, he really wanted some dukkbokki. " The only reason they'll be staring is because you have me. Now go ask them to get

you dressed. "

◆

Junhyung pumped an old bike up as he waited for his maids to help Hyuna get dressed. He dusted the seats and stared at it, smiling proudly.

" Are we ready? " Hyuna appeared, accompanied by his maids with a walking stick.

She was wearing her usual girly flowy dress with cotton leggings. Junhyung bit back a laugh and patted the back seat.

" We're taking a bike. Come on! " He said, taking her hand.

Hyuna eagerly folds her stick and jumps on the seat at the back. Junhyung quickly gets on. 

" Hold on, I don't want you to fall. " He reminds her.

She does as told, her toes curled up with excitement. With a wave at his two maids, he started to cycle, struggling to balance a bit at first but

managed to gain his balance. He cycled swiftly, knowing Hyuna would enjoy the breeze. He glances behind, curious.

" How is it? " He asks loudly. The wind blocking out his voice.

" It's not bad, it feels quite.... clear. My head. " She says absently.

Junhyung lifts his head and takes in the scattered stars above. He thanked God silently for giving him a chance to see. His heart fell, Hyuna

must've been wanting to see the stars. She had a small smile. A thinking one.

" When I get my vision back, will you teach me? How to cycle? " Hyuna asks quietly, facing dead ahead. Junhyung slows down, so that she

can hear him.

" Definitely. " He says clearly.

Hyuna's grip tightens on his shirt, and she smiles wistfully, closing her eyes and allowing her hair to cover her face. As they approach the

bazaar, they could hear all sorts of songs playing, Hyuna could very faintly make out spots of lights demanding attention. As usual,

Junhyung knows exactly where the kind of places she would love to go. Junhyung turns to a bicycle parking area and stops. Hyuna gets

down first, her stick unfolding. Her eager and noob side was showing. She was beaming like a child, turning to every direction longingly.

" Where shall we start? Food stalls? Game stalls? Shops? " He asks, looking down at her.

Her milky face had red and yellow lights shining off it, which made him snicker.

" Games!! " She breathes, clutching her stick.

" Okay, but don't knock the kids out. " He laughs as they walk towards the Game area.

Hyuna frowns " What kids? "

" You'll find out. " He bites back a laugh.

The games were strictly for kids. Only some lovey-dovey immature couples did the water gun shots for the partner, or throwing hoops to

get some lame stuffed toy she would throw when they break up. Junhyung judges them as they walk by. Mercilessly rolling his eyes at

them. Meanwhile Hyuna tried to play almost every game she could. Which is a lot for a blind girl. Woman. And a lot for Junhyung, who

had to follow her and explain to her how to play. She laughed like a hyena and squealed so high Junhyung was sure it was a broken speaker

for a moment. It was the night she let her hair down. She was who she really was. And she could only be that with Junhyung. He watches

her with amusement and sometimes amazement. Hyuna didn't find a reason to give up on life, she lived. And now, as she twirls out of the

area, her long hair whipping around, he concluded that he liked her. A lot. Whenever he watches her, he felt the world dim slightly, and

there was only her in his vision. He was sure that whenever she tilted her head up, looked at his direction, he felt his body stiffen and his

palms would sweat.

He chuckles, tucking his hands in his pockets. " I used to be cool. " He muttered.

" Are you hungry? I think we could use some snacks. " Hyuna decides, her breathing shallow but a smile bright on her face.

" You're all sweaty. " He laughs, wiping at the edges of her face. Her smile falters, and she stood still.

" There. " He said softly. She bravely stuck her hand out and took his. Surprising him.

" What do you want to eat? " She asks lightly.

They got ddukkbokki as he wanted and a lot of other snacks, munching heartily along the way. Hyuna's stick now tucked in her bag. She

looked normal, eating normally. Only she needed his voice to know where she needed to be. They reached the end of the food stalls and out

into the open area. Music was blasting and it seemed like a dance session. Hyuna pulls on his sleeve.

" What's going on? What's the noise? " She asks, leaning close. He glances slyly at her and quickly grab all the food from her hands.

" Hey! " She exclaims.

He pulls her to the center of the crowd, the music pulsating around them. It was a fun and energetic song. It made her want to jump. She found herself smiling widely. Junhyung took her hands and put both around his neck, his hands on her waist.

" Just dance! " He said in her ear.

And dance they did. Hyuna busted some surprising moves and laughed till she was breathless, Junhyung lost all his shame and danced

mindlessly with he. Causing others to actually stop dancing and stare. Time actually slowed down for him. Hyuna seemed so happy,

throwing her head back and laughing and clutching at her stomach, the whole thing. And as for her, she felt alive. Every inch of her was

alive and agreed with her. It was all thanks to him, he brought her out to feel the world. To know how it was without having to see. Feeling

her legs tire out, Hyuna slowed down and pulled him closer to her. She wanted to thank him, hug him, anything. Her feelings were up to her

throat now. She wanted to tell him everything. But instead, she held his face, and rested her forehead on his chin.

" Thank you. " She manages.

Junhyung melts against her fingers, and closes his eyes. The music around them slowed down, turning mellow and gut wrenching.

" Thank You. " He presses, grinning. Just then, a woman in a cream dress stood still in front of them.

" J-J-Yong Junhyung? "
