Immortal beauty
Seulbi
I can't believe this is happening. I just can't.
I cupped my mouth with my hands after letting out an ear splitting scream along with Exouls. I stared at each and every one of them with wide eyes
On my right is a man who's wearing an all white clothing, literally from tshirt to shoes. Behind him is two men wearing similar clothings, a brown shirt with white colored pants
"Oh !" A voice shrieked from above and I immediately lifted my head just to see a man hanging on the tree branch
"Hold on!" I exclaimed and ran to the tree. I can't help but noticed that he was wearing a cream sweater and golden-brown colored pants
I bit my lips as a walk around the tree wondering how to help. Suddenly the man managed to lift himself up and safely sat on the branch
"I'm okay!" He shouted and I sighed in relief. Not long after that, I heard a loud thud behind me and I turned around just to see another man on his knees
"Ouch.." He hissed and I stared at him curiously. He quickly dust off his cream colored pants and slowly stood up
"Okay.. you got this" He said to himself before sighing. He looked at me and smiled
I blinked and suddenly got a little dizzy. I held my head and leaned onto the nearest tree
"Seulbi? Are you okay?" The man wearing all white asked me and wobbled towards me. He was having trouble in keeping his balance and his legs gave up on him
He fell onto the ground earning a small chuckle from me
"No no.. I'm alright really" I assured him and decided to sit down.
Another big thud was heard behind me along with a grunting sound and I immediately turned around. The man who was hanging on the tree earlier managed to get off the tree and he was groaning
I crawled towards him and asked him whether he is injured
"I'm fine Seulbi. I landed on my and it hurts but no worries!" He said awkwardly and I bit my lips
I scratched my head as I stared at each and every one of them again, trying to remember their faces from the past but I can't
"So.. who is who?" I asked them loudly. They all stared at me and I waited for them to reply
"I think you know who I am. Wide eyes and tree" The man beside me pointed out and I nodded
"Kyungsoo"
The other men tried their best walking towards us and finally sat down
"The two of us are wearing the same clothes so it can only mean one thing" A man said with a smile and I laughed and nodded.
"Baekhyun and Jongdae"
They nodded and I turned to the man with a dimple
"All white. Does that ring a bell?"
"Yixing and.."
I turned to the last man who was staring at me with his doe eyes
"Luhan" I said with a smile earning and thumbs up from him.
We sat in silence for a while and I let out a big sigh
"So what now?" I asked them and they shrugged their shoulders
"I think we just have to wait" Yixing said and the rest nodded except Chen
"Wait for what?" He asked, earning a slap on the back of his head from Baekhyun.
"Wait for Sehun to confess his love you idiot" Baekhyun said and Chen playfully slap him back.
"Hey, isn't this our first meeting each other as humans? It's our first seeing each other right?" Kyungsoo asked
"You're right.. but why does it seem like your eyes didn't even change?" Luhan and the latter laughed sarcastically
As they began to talk among themselves, I kept quiet and started playing with my fingers.
Love? Is that even possible?
I sighed and stood up. They stopped talking and stared at me
"Where are you going?" Luhan asked me and I fake a smile
"I'll let you guys enjoy yourself being humans while you still can. You'll be animals back in daylight right? Just have fun" I said and began to walk away
They tried calling out my name to make me stay but I continued on walking. Instead of taking the path that leads me to the cave, I went to the opposite side
I need to be alone for now
I sighed as I walked aimlessly through the forest
"I'm suppose to be happy right?" I asked myself as I walk. I rub my hands together when the wind started to blow harshly against me
I stopped walking and frowned when I felt something wet on my cheeks
"Ugh, I don't know anymore!" I exclaimed and wiped off my tears harshly. I sank to the ground and sat there pathetically
"Why am I even crying?" I chuckled while asking myself. I sighed and bit my lips to prevent myself from crying even more.
Suddenly, I could hear footsteps coming behind me but I didn't move an inch. I know that it's one of them
"Seulbi.." a voice called out and I smiled. I knew that he won't leave me alone
"Kyungsoo.." I mumbled quietly and he sighed. He sat beside me and took me into his arms
"How do you know that I'm not okay.." I said with my voice cracking up. Tears began to form and I can't stop them from falling
"We all know that you're not okay by the time you gave us that fake smile. Now tell me, what's wrong?" He asked me and I took a deep breath
"I'm scared" I told him honestly and I could feel him patting my head gently
"Are you doubting that he's the one?" Kyungsoo asked me and I froze
"I'm right aren't I?" He said and I nodded. I pulled away from him and pulled my knees up to bury my head between them
"What if something goes wrong?" I said and it came out as a mumble. I lift my head up and place my chin on my knees
"What if he's not the one?" I asked and stared at him
Kyungsoo was staring at the moon and I followed to stare at it as well
"What if.. I won't be able to release us from this curse?" I said with an unsteady voice that made me whisper t
