Christmas Day [Lay from EXO M]

The boy rushed down the spacious hospital corridor, panting heavily as he was craving to reach the one and only room that he visits every single day. Specifically, it's that special someone.

And today wasn't just any other day. Today is special.. Today is... 

Today is Christmas.

He swung the door open, and his eyes naturally started to look for her... And he found her immediately; she was sitting on the hospital bed with her back straight, her eyes wide open..

"Hara!!!" Her name naturally rolled off the tip of his tongue smoothly as he stepped in. 

She slightly relaxed herself and leaned her back against the pillow as soon as she heard him, she smiled genuinely, "You're here.."

He quickly approached her and sat on the side of her bed, making the bed bounce a bit from the pressure. 

"Hara, do you know what day it is today?" He asked excitedly, his eyes beaming with joy.

The room then drowned in silence, and it didn't look like she had an idea at all. He watched her lips carefully, waiting for it to part, and say the answer he's expecting. But the reply was only pouted lips, and furrowed eyebrows. 

After a while, she finally spoke, bitterly, "I don't know. I can't see the calender, I've lost track of the days.. I'm blind, Yixing." She shrugged her shoulders, and smiled, a sad smile.

That's right, she's blind... Hara's blind.

He doesn't know the reason, nobody told him, not even Hara. Actually, Hara couldn't tell him, she doesn't remember.. She doesn't remember anything from the past. She lost her memory, and her vision. All Yixing knows, is that it was due to a horrible car accident that happened from before.

Yixing met her a month ago, he came to the hospital to visit his sick grandmother..That time, his grandma used to be in the room right beside Hara's. It was that one day when her room's door was half open, and Yixing happened to take a peek out of curiosity. He heard rumours about her that she's blind, and Yixing wanted to see what she looked like.

He only wanted to take a peek, but he never knew he would end up staring at her forever. It was her eyes, her eyes attracted him. It's so pretty, that's what he thought... It was a week later when Yixing finally decided to talk to her, he told her that he liked her eyes, they're pretty. 

That was the first time, when he saw her smile. It was a real smile, a smile that reached her eyes. It made Yixing feel happy, he feels like as if he accomplished something, he felt proud. After that day, he visits her more often. Even when his grandmother got released from the hospital, he still visits the hospital from time to time, to visit Hara. That's how they got close with each other, and it's also how.. Yixing fell in love with her.

Yixing doesn't plan to continue this conversation.. It hurts him too, it breaks his heart.. 

Because the girl he loves, doesn't know what he looks like.

She can't see him. She can't see his emotions, she can't see what he's doing; nothing. It's painful... But he doesn't complain, because he knows that not being able to see things yourself is way more worst than his own situation right now.

He uncomfortably shifted in his position, and licked his dry lips. He's not letting this ruin today's mood, not now, not today.

 "Um... Well actually, today is a really special day!" He made himself sound a bit more cheerful.

Her expression seemed to brighten up a bit, "Really? What kind of special?"

"...It's Christmas."
