She felt her life in shards of fragile glass, scattered around her, each piece stabbing into her heart one by one. There are some memories you want to forget, but when you begin to recall the events of life blurred by amnesia, you cannot control what your mind does. Her father died in the same car accident that left her disoriented and confused- she couldn't even remember the father she was told she loved dearly with all her heart- she sat at the funeral of someone she didn't even know, with tears she didn't even cry running down her face.
Zhang Ju sat uneasily on the rooftop, trying to stitch the segments of her life together, half a can of beer on the floor beside her and 3 empty ones scattered aimlessly around.
She let out a loud noise that embodied frustration and lay back, studying the stars above her, when she felt a strange presence behind her. It was a man in a white mask and a hat, and although he looked dangerous he gave of a vibe of someone who was sweet and half heartedly laughed at the sight in front of him.
Awkwardly sitting up, Ju was about to apologise and leave when he collapsed down next to her and sighed so heavily he almost blew his mask off.
She thought
S a m e (mood)
After some while of just sitting in comfortable silence together, Ju spoke.
'What's your name?'
'What's yours?'
She was about to retaliate with 'I asked you first' before just giving in.
'Ju.'
'Pretty,' he whispered into the night.
'Wanna just go far away, Ju? Like just drive and drive and drive?'
'What from?'
'Maybe I dont know, maybe I just want to run'.
Ju had no idea why she trusted this complete stranger but she agreed without hesitation.
'Take off your mask then'.
'No'.
In the car she listened to music, she was drawn to a beautiful voice singing on the radio, it sounded like sunshine and happiness that could break through her darkness.
'I love his voice' she stared wistfully into the speakers before looking at the man and seeing his face for the first time, and it was smiling. Smiling brighter than the stars, she swore right there that his smile could illuminate galaxies, universes, the whole world and anything inbetween.
He began singing along until she realised it was the exact same voice, and stared at him in utter confusion, before falling into his music, into the ethereal sound.
'넌 삶의 전부야, for life'
'Who are you?'
'Byun Baekhyun, nice to meet you,'
