The Boy Who Smiled

I didn't realize this before, but he was probably the happiest person in the world. He always had a smile on his face. Whether he was greeting people, or waiting for people to greet him back, or when people didn't greet him at all. He would still smile. I didn't realize this before but it was probably the most beautiful smile in the world.

I didn't realize this before but when he laughed, it sounded like music. He would make the whole room laughed along with him. Even when some people, including me, didn't even bother to listen to his jokes, he still laughed anyways.

I didn't realize this before, but somehow, everyone just looked tired and pale and bleak. Did something happened? Yes, something, someone had changed. He had changed. He had stopped smiling, he had stopped laughing. I didn't realize when or how it happened, but it did. When he changed, everyone else changed too, but nobody tried to make him smile again. Everyone was always too busy, too sorry, too angry at themselves like I was.

I didn't realize when this happened, but I wanted to see his smile again. When I saw him standing in the rain, alone and soaked, and most probably crying too, I suddenly knew what to do. A hug. It was all he needed. As soon as I put my arms around him, I could feel it. The sorrow and grief he had been keeping inside, the things that he wasn't able to express through a smile nor a joke, they slowly vanished in the air. I felt his big arms wrapped around my waist. Though I couldn't see it, he probably started smiling again as well. 

 


 

A drabble inspired by a certain someone whose smile I've been charmed with hee....

I've been away for so long. I need to start writing again. There's still one contest entry to be finished! I thought I'd be able to finish it by mid-May but I rejected my own idea and struggled to find a new one. I'm finally writing again, phew, though the idea is rather simple. I don't know if it will be an interesting read to others, but I have to finish it no matter what. It's a fantasy story featuring Infinite's Woohyun.
