Diary Of A Boy Going Blind

I sat there staring at the calander directly a foot in front of me, my hand outstretched, my fingertips circling the laminate before stabbing that formidable date- the seventeenth. I drew in a long deep breath, leaning back in my chair.

Where did the time go?

Two days left. Just two days. Running my face through my hands, I let out an even longer groan and upon opening my eyes I was once again filled with darkness. I snorted, already getting used to the feeling.

Oh God Kyungsoo...used to?

Ever since the day in the hospital the dotor told me since my time was practically over, that the closer the expected time came the more frequently my vision would go in and out before it goes out forever. I snorted again.

Sounds like a light bulb that stopped working.

I sighed at the thought.

Only a light bulb is replacable.

Blinking a few times, my vision was slowly coming back going from an annoying blurry to a somewhat more tolerable blurry. I frowned though when I noticed the object that my eyes were unconcously focusing on clearly. Leaning forward, I reached out my hand picking up the familiar photo. Unable to stop the smile that came to my face, I took in the group of faces, my thumb tracing over each familiar face.

Chanyeol with his dorky grin, his arm drapped across,

Baekhyun with his famous eyeliner his arm around the maknae waiste,

Sehun with his disappearing eye smile his arm over,

Suho's, the mom of the group with that very expressive face.

I laughed at the thought of them, my thumb coming back to the middle of the group landing on the one who led me to them, who gave me a chance,

Jong In the boy with the fiery eyes, his arm around my waiste,

and finally I landed on myself with a ear to ear smile.

I think that was one of the happiest days I ever had.

I smiled as we all held up our wolf signatures looking like the clowns we were. The memories of that day resonating through my mind as I put down the photo.

Truthfully I wouldn't know what would of happened if I hadn't met them.

Probably still be the lone wolf I was.

But I didn't and all because of that one moment.

Grabbing my hair and rustling it, I jumped out of the chair.

Well now it's all over Kyungsoo, once again you're alone.

And it was true, once again I was alone, only this time it wasn't just mentally. Mother decided it would best for me to leave school, and I didn't blame her, even if I wouldn't be able to see their pitied looks I could still hear the whispers, the laughter, the judgment. We both decided that it would be best if I just got a tutor and finished my last few months of school at home, that way I could still learn and as she liked to put it, be in a safe environment.

Laying down on my bed, I sighed again flipping onto my back and looking up at the ceiling. Taking in the picture of the ocean, I longingly stared at the shimmering sand wondering how it would feel as it slipped through my fingertips, I took in the waves, wondering how the cool water would feel against my skin, the crisp breeze against my face, the sun shinning down on me. I drapped my arm across my forehead,

"Guess dreams don't always come true do they?"

I felt something wet on my cheek.

No Kyungsoo, no more crying, you're a man.

I wipped it away as I heard my name being called.

Damn, loosing my eyesight, but the tears keep coming, how pleasant.

"Kyungsoo? You awake sweety?"

I got up reluctantly, walking over to the door.

"Yes mother, everything alright?"

Looking down the hallway, I walked over to the stairs peering down to find my mother standing there with a smile,

"You have guests dear."

I furrowed my brows and watched as a person appeared soon followed by another and another. Dumbfounded, I tried to remember how to breath as I looked down at the familiar faces.

"Hey D.O we came to visit."

I turned towards Suho who was smiling,

"Yeah bro we've missed you and your doughnut eyes."

I looked at Chanyeol and upon him recieving a yah and hit to the gut by Baekhyuns elbow, I gave a small laugh. After a moment of silence my mother gestured up,

"Go on boys, I'll bring up some snacks in a bit."

They all looked at me to see if it was alright and when I nodded the giant scurried up as if his life depended on it,

"YAH! Chanyeol!!"

Bacon ran after him and the others only shook their heads, following the idiot duo. Once upstairs, I led them to my room and once all situated with Suho on the corner of the bed, Sehun resting at his feet, Chanyeol on the chair, and Baekhyun behind him I looked around my heart disappointed when noticing a missing person. Noticing the frown that was displayed on my face Suho quickly said,

"Kai was busy with a teacher,"

Chanyeol adding,

"He'll probably come later, I'm sure."

I doubt it

I nodded though and resting against the wall I decided to ask the obvious,

"So, wha-what brings you guys here?"

Sehun was the first to answer which was pretty surprising since he didn't talk all that much,

"The teacher told us that you weren't going to be coming to school anymore."

Chanyeol quickly pipped in,

"Yeah, what's going on D.O?"

"Are you moving?"

I turned to Suho and shook my head,

"Then why, everything alright?" Baekhyun asked worried and I took a step forward slowly sitting down on the ground.

Did he not tell them?

I sighed, I would have thought he would have told them. I didn't know whether to be happy or mad, but I knew one thing for sure at that moment when I looked up at there curious faces, I would have to man up and say the truth.

"You guy's have heard about my headaches, or rather I should say you have seen me get them."

They all nodded in unison and I looked down at the ground, my hand tapping against the wood,

"Well to tell you the truth, they're not headaches."

Suho cocked his head to the side,

"Not headaches?"

"OOh you mean migranes, they're migranes arn't they."

They all looked at the giant and I couldn't help but laugh,

"No not quite Channie. Um I'm..."

I took in a deep breath.

Why is it so hard to say?

"I'm..."

Suho looked straight at me and with the look on my face he stated lowly,

"Kyungsoo?"

Man up....

"I'M GOING BLIND." I said aloud and for a few minutes the room was filled with dead silence.

I closed my eyes waiting for them to leave, or yell at me, but with the silence I was going mad. After no response, I slowly opened my eyes and with their facial expressions I didn't know what to do or say.

"Going...blind?" Suho repeated and I slowly nodded.

"That's it?"

What the?

I turned speechless towards the giant whom was blankly staring at me.

"Th-that's it?" I repeated and Baekhyun wacked him,

"Yah!"

Chanyeol threw up his hands,

"What? He's not leaving and he's not dying. So he's going blind, but it won't change anything."

I blinked taking in a breath,

"Not change anything? How. How can anything be the same. I'm going to be blind soon Chanyeol, blind."

He shrugged and jumped out of his chair, dropping down in front of me. Taking my face in his hand he jerked me from side to side,

"See same giant eyes, same nose, same mouth."

Taking my arms he swung them around,

"Your arms work fine, and so do your legs."

Looking at me he gave his infamous greasy smile,

"You're still D.O to us Kyungsoo no matter what. Right guys?"

I looked around and after a moment one by one they all nodded Baekhyun also coming to me,

"Of course, although you can't get mad if a blind joke slips out occasionally."

I gave a small smile and Sehun scooted to me,

"You'll be fine as long as these idots don't lead you."

"Ha the dumb leading the blind." Suho added and the two glared over their shoulder,

"Yah who you calling dumb?"

"You!" Suho shot back and the giant shot up tackling the other on the bed.

Baekhyun snorted,

"Chanyeol calm down we know it's true."

Sehun rose an eyebrow,

"You know he was talking about you too."

Baekhyuns mouth dropped open,

"YAH! Who you calling dumb you old grandma."

Sehun and I watched as bacon joined the duo, turning towards each other to shake our heads.

"I still don't see why you joined us?" He asked and I smiled,

"How could I not."

We turned back to the group laughing,

You all saved me.

_________

The rest of the day we hung out like any other time. Playing games, eating, tossing disses at one another which then led to a wrestling contest and someone giving in, all for it to start once again. Before we knew it, it was dinner time and my mother was calling us down to all eat. Like the animals they are, the idoitic duo ran full sprint towards the kitchen, Chanyeol the klutz catching himself on the couch and face planting into the ground.

"At least he hit the carpet." Suho said and we all laughed.

Scrapping himself off the ground with Baekhyuns help, we all finally sat down and that's when the war began. Hands and food flying anywhere and everywhere, I looked up at my mother who looked like someone had killed her pet,

"It took me hours and its all gone in two minutes."

Chanyeol just patted her on the shoulder his mouth full of food,

"Thanks Mrs. Do its delicious."

She just gave him a small smile,

"I'm glad."

I just shook my head,

"Don't worry mom we'll clean up."

She nodded walking away,

"Well I wasn't going to that's for sure."

I laughed at my mother and turned back to the quickly disappearing table of food, grabbing what I could. After we were finished eating and cleaning I led the group outside where we stood saying our goodbyes.

"Later Kyungsoo."

"We'll let you know when we are free to hang out."

I looked at them as they stood in a line in front of me,

"Hang out, again?"

They all smiled,

"Of course like we said no matter what you're still D.O to us."

"Which means you're apart of our pack."

"And we never leave one behind."

I held in my tears, happiness overwhelming me,

"Thanks you guys. It-it means so much to me. You don't know how much it means to me that your not leaving me."

"Group hug!!" Someone yelled and before I could process what was happening I looked up to find them all crowding around me and my breath leaving my lungs.

"I can't breathe."

"Too much love."

"Yah! Who grabbed my ?"

We all laughed at that one before stepping back to catch our breaths. Saying our final goodnights, I waved at their retreating figures and once out of sight I felt my cheek go wet. Wipping my hand across my cheek, I smiled at the unexpected turn of events.

I wasn't going to be alone.

However, although happy at their acceptance, I was painfully brought back to the other day,

I can't..

Remembering Jong In, I felt my heart concave and I bent foreward my chest in pain and I gasped aloud. The one, the only one I really needed acceptance from, the one who I needed the most, wasn't here today. I closed my eyes,

I guess he really isn't coming back, is he?

"Kyungsoo, you alright?"

I took in a breath, my eyes slowly opening as I straightened myself up. Taking a moment, I rubbed my eyes taking in the familar tan skin, saultry eyes, seductive lips, and tone body, my breath hitching.

"Jo-jong In?"

I watched as he came up the steps to my porch slowly and coming to a halt a foot in front of me, I didn't know whether I was dreaming on if he was really standing in front of me.

"Is, is it really you?"

I watched as he scratched the back of his neck, biting down on his lip which I knew was a habit of his when he was nervous or contemplating something.

"Um yeah, it's me."

My breath quickly came back to me, this time my heart beating faster and faster before going a mile a minute, my head spinning,

"When, when did you get here?"

He looked down at the ground,

"I've actually been here for awhile, I-I was just waiting for the guys to leave."

I slowly nodded and he took a step forward making me unconcously take a step back. Though subtle, he still noticed and sighed,

"Kyung, we need to talk."

Kyung

I felt my chest contract once again with the nickname, my ears drowning in his voice,

I can't...

I can't...

I bent over, the memory filling my brain. With tears rushing down my face, I felt my face being grabbed and I was forced to look up. Unable to breath, I was heaving and all I could feel was the hammering in my chest and his thumbs which were beginning to dig into my cheeks,

"You.. you left me Jong In."

I watched as he began to shake his head back and fourth,

"You left me. You left me."

"Kyungsoo!!" He yelled, but all I could do was think back on that day and how much it hurt.

"I can't..." I repeated and his eyes went wide his grip on me going tighter if even possible,

"Kyungie, listen to me. LISTEN TO ME!!"

I finally turned, my eyes locking with his and I began to little by little calm down, my convulses slowing down.

"Look at me. I never left you. Ok. I never left you, I just needed time to process it all, to process... all this."

My breathing turning more normal, I felt the grip of his hands becoming softer, his thumbs now running across my cheeks, wipping away the tears which were still flowing.

"I just loved you too much Kyungsoo and when you told me you were going blind, I'll admit it, I was scared. Hell, I was frightened, and at that moment I was weak."

I swallowed,

"You said you couldn't...."

He shook his head,

"I know Kyungsoo. I was weak and like a coward I ran. I'm so sorry for that, truly I am. I just needed time to think and..and when I did I realized something,"

I looked up at him desparately,

"I realized that I loved you Kyungsoo. I loved you too much to loose you. No matter what, I wanted to be the one you could count on and when I realized that I left you.."

"I needed you." I stated lowly.

"I couldn't live with myself. Kyungsoo, I'm so sorry. I know that I was wrong. I know that now. Can you ever forgive me?"

For a moment we just looked at each other and those eyes. The boy with the fiery eyes, from the very moment that I saw them and was transfixed, I could see the guilt, the pain, and most of all his love.

"Can you promise me one thing?" I asked in a low voice.

He nodded rapidly,

"Of course, anything. Ask me anything."

I took a breath,

"Do you promise to never leave me again?"

He took all in that was me,

"Oh Kyungsoo never again. I'll never leave you not matter what or God strike me down and hell crush me."

I gave out a small laugh to his dramticness and reached out, grabbing him and pulling him into a hug. He immediatly responded wrapping his arms around me and bringing me in as close as he could, our bodies practically melting into one.

"I've missed you Jong Jong." I stated into his chest and he clutched onto my head kissing it,

"I've missed you too Kyungie."

I didn't know where it would lead us, but at that moment I was sure of one thing. He had come back, the boy with the fiery eyes.

 

He had come back for me.
