Love Is Blind, But I'm Not (1/12)
"Watch where you going, loser!" a sudden laugh filled the Japanese restaurant.
"I would, if I can. Sorry." The angry guy felt a sudden ashamed as the one that he was scolding was standing with a stick in his hand.
The tall, dark-haired, pale man continued his laugh silently while working out his way out of the restaurant. Guess his date today wasn't a success either.
"Kyu? Finished already?" a taller young man with a pair of dimples that shows up everytime his lips parted came all the way across the street, running towards him.
"Just WHAT is the thing that you're trying to pair me up with, Siwon hyung?? The strength, the laugh, the voice?? Is she even a girl??" Kyuhyun nagged as Siwon took his hands and guided him towards the car's door.
"Haha, you sure are whiney for a blind guy on a date, Kyu. Well, I guess better luck next time." He was standing outside the car, his hands on the hips when a-well-build-body girl, with a thick make up stamped on her face; a make up style that is more suited for a clown, came out of the restaurant across them, turning her head left and right, as if she was searching for someone.
"Err...Kyu, that THING you were dating just now...did she told you what she was wearing?" with a blank expression, Kyuhyun nodded.
"A pink dress, with white stripes across its neck, a rose in her hair, and ~" without any intention of listening more to Kyuhyun's description, Siwon slammed the driver's door and started the car, like, immediately.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! After tonight, your blind dates would be under my care, not our sisters anymore! That's it!! I mean it!!" Siwon scared-to-the-death voice gave Kyuhyun a hint : well, you've seen her, don't you?
***
Kyuhyun wasn't born blind. He wasn't sick either.
If only luck doesn't have anything to do with this, he would be sitting in his place at school right now, preparing for the upcoming university entrance test. He would have girls confessing to him, as his face isn't bad either. He would be able to see Mathematical symbols in that subject that he loves so much, instead of learning by the Braille's symbols.
He can still remember it clearly, every single thing that he saw on the day that he'd lost his visions for good. The brown pancakes that was made by his umma, the blue shirt that covered his body, dimples on his hyung's cheeks, his fair-skinned oldest sister smile, his second sister's dark, wavy hair, and his friends faces, one by one.
The places around his neighborhood where they play hide-and-seek, secret holes and tunnels found by them, and the video games that was just released on that very same day. The video game that was promised by his brother for him, the one that he wanted so badly.
And of course, he could still remember, looking up and found that pieces of glasses were raining him. The sounds of a family fighting, a little boy crying, and things thrown outside the window were still there. Every night he woke up with the same nightmare, and his tears started to fall.
For the whole three months after the incident, he cried, asking to God, why he was the one who should be suffering, when he didn't do anything bad? He tried to remember, doing anything wrong that make God mad at him, but he couldn't, so he just kept on crying.
But, as an eighteen years old boy now, with only darkness as his world, Kyuhyun realize that regretting something that has happened would take him to nowhere. He never regret being blind. Or, he has stopped regretting. He even take his condition right now as a credit.
He didn't have to line-up for anything, and he even got special treatments in public places.
So, yeah he can't be with his friends to school, but they still come to his house and bring along their other friends, who eventually become his too. He got home schooled, thanks to his hyung efforts of becoming a teacher after all. The only thing that pisses him off a little bit right now is the university test, (that he would take as a handicapped person), and hey, the same worries as his other friends at his age.
"There's nothing to be sad about being blind, except..." his shoulders would always react automatically to his gloomy face.
