Save Me...

Chapter 11

Vana's POV

"Let's see now. Open your eye," I order, as I stand over a skeptical looking Xiumin.

"Waeyo?" He asks, frowning slightly and I huff.

"Just do it. I want to see something," I say and he bites his lip, before tilting his head back and opening his eye. I hold up a flashlight, shining it straight into his eye.

"Do you know what I'm doing?" I ask, as I examine his eye. Something about it seems off. His eye doesn't look like a blind man's eye usually looks, it looks a bit, different. I can't explain it.

"No, and that's what's scaring me," He jokes and I roll my eyes.

"Ok, stand up," I say, clicking the flashlight off and stuffing it in my pocket. Xiumin stands up and I immediately grip his hand. "Let's go try something," I suggest, before leading him out of his bedroom and out to the hot springs.

"This spring cured Tao a bit, maybe it can help you see again," I explain and he frowns.

"How? It's just water," He says and I shrug. "I don't know. There's just something about it. It feels almost, magical," I say, attempting to put my thoughts to words and he just raises his eyebrows at me. "Just try it. Dunk your head under and open your eyes," I say and he sighs, but complies.

After a moment or so, he comes up for air and looks up at me, water droplets dripping down his face. "Well, can you see anything?" I ask hopefully and he squints his eyes.

"No, but my eyes do feel a little, weird. I can't explain it, but they feel almost, stronger," He says and I look at the water, before pulling my flashlight out again.

"What am I doing?" I ask as I shine the light in his eye.

"I don't know," He answers and I sigh.

"Alright, let's call it a day. We'll try it again tomorrow," I say and he nods, before rising to his feet. "Um, I'm looking for Xiumin." I look up to see a petrified looking D.O. standing in the doorway, clutching his journal to his chest tightly.

"I'm here Kyungsoo," Xiumin speaks and D.O.'s eyes land on him.

"Um, the book says t-that we need to stick together, so I'm following it's instructions," He stammers and Xiumin smiles.

"Alright, let's go." I watch them leave, before heading back inside myself.

"Hello gorgeous." I smile bashfully as a pair of long arms snake around my waist.

"You're so cheesy," I giggle, turning to face Chanyeol, wrapping my arms around his neck. He smiles and leans down, pecking my lips softly.

"But I'm only cheesy for you!" He says and I roll my eyes, pulling away.

"Let's go do something!" I say and he nods, slipping his hand into mine.

"Like what?" I pause and think for a moment, before grinning.

"We could make a cake?" I suggest and his eyes light up.

Cake Making Time~

"No not like that! Stir it gently!" I laugh as Chanyeol beats vigorously at the icing he's making. Well, attempting to make.

"You do it then!" He pouts, crossing his arms. I roll my eyes and peck his cheek, before stirring the icing gently.

"Yah Vana."

"Mm?" I turn around and Chanyeol places his hands on either side of me.

"How are you so pretty?" He asks and my heart skips a beat. I blush and look down. He takes his hand and gently pulls my face up to look at his. He leans in slowly and I close my eyes, but instead of him kissing me, something is splattered onto my nose. I snap my eyes open to see Chanyeol smirking at me, icing on his finger.
