It took three seconds.


The door opened. Morning light lanced down from the empty, clear sky which made even the dust sparkle. Someone answered the door. It was a woman. She threw her arm over her eyes to shield out the morning sun. Her face was covered. Chaeyoung squinted his eyes and immediately stepped forward putting himself between the woman and the light, his shadow blocked the sun from hitting her and finally he saw her features clearly for the first time.


The woman tilted her face and her glistening eyes met his. She was bathed in a soft layer of light. Chaeyoung was stunned for a moment. It was a beautiful face, one of the most beautiful he had ever seen. She had dark black hair, chin-length and straight, with one side tucked neatly behind her ear, shiny with every strand in place. Her complexion was fair and elegantly transparent. And most importantly, her eyes. Those clear, lake-like eyes, those eyes that shone brighter and warmer than the sun.


How long did it take? One second, two seconds, three seconds.


He blinked and clutched his chest, it was pounding crazily as if trying to escape. He had experienced this feelings before, but this was far more intense, faster, one that left him speechless and spellbound. Chaeyoung know then, he had fallen into that pair of eyes.
