when the clock strikes twelve (the last hour)

Description

Pairing: kai-centric, taokai (sort of?)
Genre: dystopian!au
Rating: PG
Word count: 6,000~w

 

 

Can you imagine a world where time did not exist,

and everyone was happy,

because everyone was oblivious,

and blissfully ignorant?

The news would broadcast the same thing everyday,

and no one would even question it,

becauses there was no need to.

After all, the government was always right.

Can you imagine a world where thoughts

were formulated by medication,

and friendship and warmth and family

was a forgotten concept?

That is a utopia.

That is the world Kai lives in.

That is Cadeau.

Foreword

Atop the bell tower, at the outskirts of the city, resides an Archangel. He holds with him a gold watch as ancient as time itself. It is said that when the minute hand strikes twelve, the world will have reached its end. But, those who have seen it claim that it stays eternally at eleven, never moving back or forward. It’s a wonder they remember at all.

A/N: Originally written for my friends, where Kai was still Kai, but Tao was under the name of Black. I decided to post it here anyways, because I just couldn't get rid of the TaoKai feels /cry.

Inspired by 1984 by George Orwell and Anything You Synthesize by lunathunderhead.

Chapter 2: slightly confused at the last paragraph there but i now understand about the pills
the thought waves make sense too xD
so from what i understand tao sacrificed his life(?) and he said he's the archangel yet on the last para it seems like kai is too(?)
what kai was looking for im still unsure bout that but overall i can understand the story
Thank you, this story was definitely enjoyable :D <3

Chapter 1: omaigod i have taken a great liking to this story
im curious about the pill and their world entirely- why they can't read and stuff, i feel like this is a world where most language is extinct and knowledge is kept away- hidden.
“I think I know what friendship is now.”
“It’s me and you.”
that dialogue had me going awww~ xD
thank you, looking forward to the update! :D <3

Chapter 1: this story has that unique feeling that i just can't explain-- it's like thrill, mystery, and everything thrown in one story and packed in a beautiful way.
it's just- wow. i am really interested to find about the world that tao and kai lives in.
