Chanyeol sighed as he sat down on the blanket spread out on the side. He lets his long legs spread out as he picks up his guitar and mindlessly strums some chords. He was hoping this vacation would help refuel his inspiration for the songs he has to write this year with his band. But so far on this trip to Hawaii he has gotten nothing. He did meet a girl near his age though, her name was Haruka and actually was two months younger than him. It amazes him how she always has a bright smile on her face even with her homing situation and her family’s health. Even her health isn’t the best but she doesn’t complain, she never complains about the difficulty of eating and she never lets herself cry in front of others. Chanyeol wished he could be more like her, maybe happiness is what he needs to create something great, something worthy of being performed by him and his friends in front of people. It had to be perfect, some of them have to move people to tears. And he knows he is capable of creating such a piece. Maybe I’ll ask Haruka for help. And it was in that exact same moment that he heard the lilt of a laugh he would know anywhere. He looks up quickly to spot Haruka walking with two boys, the shorter of the two boys with his arm wrapped around her waist.  The boy shorter boy was still taller then Haruka though since Haruka is only 5’1.  The shorted one had to be at least 5’8. He watches as Haruka spots him on the blanket with his guitar propped up on his leg. She waves slightly and smiles when he waves back as she begins to make her way towards him with the two boys. As they get closer Chanyeol realizes the taller male is her brother Luhan except with newly dyed pink hair with purple streaks, the look suited him. The shorter male was barely shorter than Luhan and sported plain black hair. To most people how he looks would be considered plain, but the way his black hair and pitch black sunglasses contrasted against his pale white skin had Chanyeol mesmerized. He’s too pale to be from here. He moves his guitar to the side just in time as Haruka runs and jumps on him. Chanyeol couldn’t help the laugh that escaped him but his laughter was cut short as the boy that was hanging onto Haruka falls face first into the sand, Haruka immediately gets up and runs back, helping Luhan with helping him back up.

“I’m so sorry Baekhyun I thought Luhan would be able to grab you before you fell.” Ah so that is his name.  Chanyeol watched as the boy tried to smile at Haruka but he was a few feet away from where she is.

“It’s okay. I know this must be hard for you and Luhan. Not many people are friends with people like me.”

“No no it’s okay. Here we’ll help you to the blanket okay?” Baekhyun nods slightly and follows Haruka as she leads him to the blanket. She guides him to the middle of the blanket and he sits down slowly while feeling around him for any objects. Chanyeol pulls his legs up to his chest in order to give the male more space then crosses his legs and picks his guitar up again. Once Baekhyun is settled onto the blanket Luhan promptly sits next to him, sliding his bag off and onto the blanket as Haruka sits next to Chanyeol.

“Were you composing?” Luhan asks.

“I was trying. I still don’t have much inspiration and my flight leaves tomorrow.”

“If it helps we’ll be going back with you.” Haruka states as she rests her head on his shoulder.

“So did you get into the university Luhan?” Luhan nods and then takes out a small juice packet and hands it to Baekhyun after inserting the straw. Baekhyun feels for the straw then slowly raises the juice pouch to his mouth before tentatively taking a sip. Chanyeol couldn’t keep the question from escaping his mouth.

“Why do you feel around for everything?” The fact that both Luhan and Haruka looked awa does not go unnoticed by Chanyeol.  Baekhyun’s sigh seems louder than it should be with the waves crashing in the background.

“I’m blind Chanyeol.”
“Oh I’m sorry.” Chanyeol smiles slightly as Baekhyun laughs and waves off his apology.

“It’s okay it hasn’t ruined my life. It did make it harder to chase my dreams though…”

“What is your dream?”
“I wanted to be a singer. Haruka and I were gonna audition together but on the day of our audition we got into that accident.”

“Accident?” Chanyeol looks at Haruka in time to notice that she is tearing up, the tears so close to spilling over.
