The Blind Side ~ 4

The Blind Side

ChanHee dressed in his best, a stunning black suit with matching leather shoes.

It was his custom to go out every day and search for a face, any face that would remind him that there was still some hope that he could return to the normal world.

He saw people’s faces, in his dreams, he saw his friends, Minsoo, Niel, Byunghun, Changhyun and Jonghyun, but whenever he followed their silhouettes, there was nothing.

He could walk right into them and they’d feel nothing. He could scream as loud as he could but it was like they were deaf.

But ChanHee saw her once. This little girl, dressed in a flower print skirt, she was lost and he reached out for her. His heart swelled every time he thought of the girl, but he never saw her again.

ChanHee stepped onto the fountain. His feet went right through the water, and yet, when he touched his pants, they weren’t soaked like they were supposed to be. They were the same. Cold and unforgiving.

He hadn’t felt warmth for a long time now.

Lee ChanHee was all alone as a ghost, no one to accompany him but his thoughts. Sometimes, he wondered whether he was just in a coma and going mad.

But as he saw his friends age in his dreams, he knew he was gone, and he knew there was no going back. It hurt him so much to see that Teen Top had finished just because he had died. He had wanted to badly for the other five to continue on the music created by what was originally the six of them.

However, ghosts can’t do anything.

ChanHee sat on the edge of the fountain and watched the coats, pants, shirts and shoes all walk by, hug each other and move as if they had people in them.

He thought it was always a little bit unnerving, watching all those ‘people’ live without him.

ChanHee looked up.

There was a girl around his age, wearing a dress with the same print he had seen on the little girl a long time ago. He looked at her body, making his way up.

He saw her shimmering hair and gasped. Never had he seen something so lovely.

But wait, he saw her?

ChanHee rose to his feet and steadily moved to her, she was laughing, another girl sitting next to her and helping the girl hold her tea.

He reached out for her, trying to touch her hair, something that would indicate that she was really there, a person whom he could see for the first time.

Her fingers were delicate, and her legs were pale and long. She was beautiful even without having to say anything. She looked up at him and he held his breath. A light frown decorated her face as she looked straight through him.

Straigh through his heart.

Along with the ache of being unknown to her also came the feeling of euphoria.

He held his hand out to her and touched her shoulder, marvelling at the way her body shuddered and at the way her eyes searched for something unknown to her senses.

ChanHee smiled.

A hot, searing feeling shot through his hands and went through his body, making him laugh in wonder.

He smiled for the first time in years, he knew he had found the girl he was wondering about for so long.

He knew she was the one that was meant to be for him.

And how did he know this?

He felt her warmth.

Chapter 13: I read this story when you first wrote it. Nearly 4 years later and I'm reading it again. I cried the first time I read it and here I am at 2 in the morning crying because the feels. I love this story so much. Idk, I just needed something to read. I've been so sad about ljoe leaving teen top.

Chapter 13: The ending is sad, but this story is just wow. Really nice story. Poor Sae Rim though, I really wanted her and Chanhee to have a happy ending..

This story is beautiful.
I don't like sad endings (well, who does?)
but I can't stop reading till the end.

The last sentence was really heartbreaking for me.

Chapter 13: There needs to be a freaking sequel. My feelings have been thoroughly abused and I can't deal with those two not ending up together. My heart hurts.
I suppose I should have seen this coming because he was a ghost, but it just made me so sad with the way it ended. Their last meeting ended with her angry with him (or rather the situation), and that was no way to say goodbye. And I felt a little upset with Sae Rim, to be honest. I know she loves Chanhee, but at the same time he WAS a ghost. Even if he got to see her often, it still had to be a lonely life. It upset me a bit to see her selfishly wishing for him to stay without thinking of his feelings. Then again, that makes her character all the more real; most people would react that way, I think.
Overall, good job! This was a nice story and I'm glad I stumbled upon it, even if it did mess with my feelings like no one's business. Now I'm off to go check your other stories and hopefully find a sequel to this~!
