The next day, everything went silent. You weren't met with Yuta's electricity smile again, neither his morning voice messages or the usual romantic jokes he love to make. It went on for days, leaving you practically in confusion with a side of loneliness to add it up. He went away along with his family to God knows where. You even contemplated asking his neighbours and friends but they themselves were just as puzzled as you were, either that or they chose not to talk. You sent him countless messages, even tried calling him, but he never answered.
A week or two of this lonely sentiment, a letter came to your house. You tore the envelope almost as soon as it came to your sight. The letter was typed out perfectly by Yuta, and you read it out.
__________-himeeee :) ,
I'm so sorry for suddenly disappearing on you like that. I swear I didn't mean to do this to you. I missed you like crazy, just so you know. I'll come back soon, it won't take long, I promise. I'll always come back to you even if it takes an eternity. My family just had to go somewhere for an important matter. I'll get you something when I come back, you'll love it ;) alright see you later.
with love, takoyaki prince
Somewhere at the bottom corner of the letter, was his scribbled writing. He had attempted to write a small message.
It had been a month, maybe more than that, but you still held onto Yuta's words, knowing he'll come back here one day. Maybe his family just had some important family business matter to settle somewhere outside of the country, those were your thoughts.
You went to the Han River on a cloudy Saturday, the last place you saw Yuta before he went away, the place you shared your first kiss with him. You took your time getting washed away by old memories, from when he became your friend, always sharing his favourite homemade takoyaki with you, and despite being blind because of that fateful incident, he never gave up on anything, spending his whole time learning Braille and adapting into the blinded world of his. His smile would always be there, and that was obviously why you loved him.
Your train of thoughts went away when your phone buzzed in your pocket, someone was calling you. Just a look at the ID caller sent you swiping the screen to accept the call in a rush. "Hello? Hey- Yuta? Hel-"
"Tadaima," you could feel him grin cheekily, "I think I know where you are. I'm on my way," he said before he hung up too soon. Lifting your face up from the phone, you saw him at the other side of the bridge. You ran up to him and hugged him tight, almost in tears of joy. His stick dropped as he wrapped his arms around you in return, and everything felt right again.
"God, I missed you, you jerk," you hit his shoulder, looking up at him teary-eyed. He laughed, "Missed you too, angel," for some reason, behind his sunglasses, he was looking straight at your eyes, which was weird because as far as you remember, he could never look at you in the right direction. Which means..
"Yuta,.."
"Yeah?"
You brought your hands up to the temples of his sunglasses, pulling it off of his face, and there they were, a pair of dark-coloured eyes piercing right back at yours, a perfect eyesight for someone as perfect as him. He looked very much complete, more lively, a new kind of person. He can see.
"No one ever told you you were this beautiful?" he breathed out.
"But.. how?"
"I know I didn't tell you- or anyone- about this.. but when I was away, I was actually taken to the US because there was an eye donor to help me-"
"-undergo surgery..? To cure your blindness, so you can really see?" you gaped, gripping his hands you were holding tightly.
"Why else would I be trying so hard right now to not drool over how hot you actually are?" he winked, making you blush.
"Shut up," you smiled before pulling him closer for a kiss. Both pulled away shortly, only because Yuta couldn't help but gawk at her more.
"Don't stare at me like that!" you nudged him lightly, still having a smile on nonetheless. "Like I'm the next Miss Universe or something,"
"You might as well be nominated as one," he replied cheekily. "I love you,"
