Once For A Lifetime [OneShot]

I was on the seashore collecting stones so that I had something to throw in the waters. I had to get out of that party . It wasn't that far from where I am but at least I'm getting my space here. My mood just wasn't going with it. My reason might be too childish to you but for me, that was a once in a lifetime chance.

"Mom, can I just stay here? I really need to go to that event! Mom I promise this would be my first and last. Please?" I pleaded. But it just wont work.

"No, you are coming with me and your dad. Now you can stop asking for my permission because I am not going to allow you to go to that event. Pack your things we're leaving in a while." she said.

Ok, she wins. So I packed my things and headed downstairs where the cab was waiting. The sad reality of being a fangirl is that there will always be that one person in your family that will never understand how you feel. In my situation, nobody understands except my friends.

We boarded the plane headed to White Islands, where the 'Annual Family Reunion' would be happening tonight. Its not that I don't want to see my relatives, its just that I didn't want to miss that once in a lifetime event that every fan has been dreaming of. The concert was set the night that me and my family are going back here in Maynille. Which means that I would be at the airplane during the concert. I made a loud sigh and my mom just looked at me with an irritated face.

Inhale. Exhale. We checked in the hotel and of course, I got a separate room with my cousins because mom and dad would probably make the most out of it tonight. Which is gross. I didn't really go out of the hotel and have fun on the beach. I just stayed inside the hotel room as I got updates from my laptop. But it was a wrong idea, I just got depressed. So I just shut it down and slept.

"Wake up! Hey! It's time for the party!"

I squinted and looked at the clock. Its 7:30 in the evening, almost time for the reunion.

"Oh. Thanks." I said

"Are you ok? You just stayed here for the whole afternoon so I was wondering if you're sick." my oh-so cute 10-year-old cousin asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just got a little dizzy from the flight." I gave a smile. I started to fix myself, hair done, dress done. Not really doing that much special it's not my birthday anyway. "Let's go!"

I'm actually fond of parties because of the food. I know I'm a pig when it comes to eating so I just drowned myself from all the meat and all the fruits that I'm seeing.

"Oh my honey! You've grown so beautiful! Remember me? Your aunt Sally?"

"Oh! Yes aunt! I do remember you!" Not really.

Trust me, I don't know if it has become a tradition for old people to tell that to their younger relatives or I just don't really remember them but I would always hear a lot of those during family reunions. Sigh. I suddenly remembered the event. I couldn't really keep up with everyone's energy now. Its too suffocating when you're around people who's too hyped up while you're being this 'I wanna go home because I have nothing to do here' person.

I couldn't help it anymore. I can't stay there for the next few hours wearing a fake smile. Ugh. I should've pleaded more or I should've just ran the night before our flight. I know I sound desperate but they were the only group that I have given this much attention. Honestly, I did my best for school because they became my inspiration and I thought that maybe someday, someday I'd get to see them if I do well-- Or at least him.

I secretly made my way to the seashore, trying my best not to get caught by anyone of my relatives. I started collecting stones so that I had something to throw in the waters. I had to get out of that party . It wasn't that far from where I am but at least I'm getting my space here. My mood just wasn't going with it. My reason might be too childish to you but for me, that was a once in a lifetime chance.

I strolled for more stones and placed them one by one on my skirt. My dress is quite long so I didn't have to bother that someone might see my undies, besides I'm heading to somewhere that's quite dark so no one would probably notice.

I started the skip stones to vent my depression, but it won't work. It just sinks right in to the water. The stones aren't even helping me. I tried to throw a stone again, it skipped! I did a little victory dance but I heard something on the waters, something skipped again. Wait! Is that just me? Skip. I don't want to look behind me. There might be a big guy with lots of tattoos and he might kidnap me. Ok, maybe I'm thinking too much but...

I took the last few stones on my skirt, turned around and...

"Ack!" I bumped on a man and dropped all my stones! Yes a man! Because he had no boobs and he was perfectly built. He isn't that big, just right for someone his size. I quickly backed a little and looked at him...

Is it just the moonlight? Or he was... perfect?

He looked familiar.

"You're doing it wrong." he said as he picked the stones that I dropped and started to skip the stones. He was saying something else but I can't quite understand it, I'm pretty sure he was stating instructions. He looked back at me, this can't be...

"B-Byun B-Baekhyun?"

"Ooh, a fangirl."

"A-are you r-really B-Baekhyun?"

"Baby don't cry tonight..." that voice...

He looked at me. Those eyes, they were perfect. He smiled at me. Those lips, they were perfectly sculpted. I stood there for a while, frozen.

"I've been watching you from there." He pointed at a distance.

"I think you're pretty."
