Day Dreamer & Night Thinker

 

The plaza wasn´t very crowded. It was late Saturday afternoon or early evening and the weather was rather cold than warm. The sunlight was weak and the calmness of the place was making Hyukjae feel as gloomy as ever.

Waiting solemnly in the corner of the plaza, leaning against a lamp post, he was wondering about human existence. Looking up at the radio tower, he felt the calling. Climbing up and without notice throwing himself down and splattering on the plaza. Hyukjae sighed, as if. But for the record he guiltily looked around the plaza if anyone possibly caught him with his dark thoughts. With the corner of his eye he saw a man sitting on a bench and obliviously watching him. Hyukjae felt caught off guard until he realistically realised that the stranger could have no idea what Hyukjae was thinking. Sighing again, the lone suicide continued waiting for his friend.

Donghae came unusually early. He had things to finish but he lazily decided he would work that out later and so he ended up coming before the meeting time with his colleague from work. To kill the boredom, Donghae began looking around until his sight caught a guy handsomely leaning against a lamp in the corner of the plaza. He was obviously waiting for somebody, sometimes he would look up at the radio tower with hazy brown eyes. Donghae couldn´t take his eyes off, he was bored anyway and the guy probably didn´t even know Donghae existed.

When a ringing siren of an ambulance passing by the plaza brought Hyukjae back from his daydreaming, he noticed the man on the bench still watching him. Hyukjae felt slightly nervous under the latter´s stare but didn´t have enough courage to look back or show the stranger a middle finger or something. But then again, maybe this guy was a serial killer and would finally bring Hyukjae to his dreaded demise. Not like Hyukjae wanted to die, no, Hyukjae just didn´t want to live. Living in a void, that would be absolutely perfect.

The man was once again deep in thoughts, it was fascinating Donghae. He couldn´t deny that he had a thing for airheads. Donghae wasn´t the type to ponder about stuff but then again, he was also sort of an insomniac because most ideas would always come up at night. And the best idea that Donghae just thought of was to actually go and speak to the strange man. But maybe later, when there´s more time.

Chapter 16: This is a masterpiece! My second time reading this oneshot and I'm still crying. The ending twisted my heart, I don't know what to feel, it's soooo good.
I'm so in love with their personality, they had heart like angels but also they were not perfect. Eunhyuk was kind to accept Donghae even though he never loved Donghae as lover. Seems like Eunhyuk also accepted not so perfect human as lover because he truly embraced that human was not perfect anyway. But I'm also disappointed that he never told Donghae he wanted to be human. He probably knew from the beginning that Donghae wouldn't let him go but still...
Then Donghae.... ahhh he was an angel who was full of love but come on, he gave special care for Eunhyuk as his sheep. I'm a bit jealous. Hopefully my personal angel up there doesn't give special treatment to other sheep. lol
Donghae breaking down as angel also what I like in this story. He was not 100% perfect and unable to function without Eunhyuk. But, as ex-angel, Donghae also considered the other guy's feeling and seemed like he would agree even if Eunhyuk wouldn't want to break up with the other guy. What if one day Eunhyuk found someone he truly love? Then he would understand the real meaning of human's love. Ahhh I'm going crazy thinking about this, I'm tethering between sad and relieved feeling.

Chapter 15: Donghae is soo in love he won't even tell Hyukjae the real deal. I'm a bit sad about this. I know he doesn't want Hyukjae to feel bad and worry about it, but what if someday Hyukjae finds out about it? Won't Hyukjae feel devastated knowing he shaved 3 hours of Donghae's life?

Chapter 13: I wonder why the black shuck attacked Donghae the second time? Donghae found the beast because it wanted to be found so it was not completely Donghae's fault for finding the black shuck. Or was it a test for him whether he could listen to Hyukjae's warn or not? hmm...

Chapter 11: My mom used to tell me that if we wake up with bruise, that means a ghost or spirit pinch us. I randomly used to get bruise as well especially when I was younger. Ugh, thankfully it was not spreading all over the body.

Chapter 7: This is so dark. First of all Hyukjae had very cold heart, he didn't hesitate to kill the old elf! Yikes scary, no wonder he was an experienced hunter. He seemed cautious and knew Donghae could potentially kill him if he wanted to do so.
On the other hand, Donghae... hmmm he was so mysterious, even until the end. I mean he could easily kill Hyukjae from the beginning or even waited until Hyukjae got the money from the buyer and killed the buyer, right? I wonder why he didn't do that. He also prefer received punishment from Hyukjae rather than ran away. I guess in a way he felt grateful that Hyukjae woke him up? He was afraid of being lonely and he knew Hyukjae would never hurt him. hmm complicated.

Chapter 6: Interesting combo that I've never really thought before. I don't really have any preference though, any combination as long as it's eunhae is interesting to me. Conman x detective is intriguing!

Chapter 3: Ugh Donghae is super annoying hereeee. I can imagine him whining all the time and Hyukjae just following here. Grrrr annoying but cute. I'm in dilemma, seems like Hyukjae loves Donghae so much but I can't with this annoying little brat. I hope by the time Donghae is a bit older, he can be less bratty and cheeky.
