The Sky and You

Chapter 5: When Time Stopped

Dug dug dug dug...

Her heart was beating so fast. She could feel herself shaking but if its because of the cold or of sudden outburst of her feelings, she had no idea. In spite the tears that's blurring her vision, she could still see the man who was walking towards her and its making her heart go wild. Its so painful but it was the most wonderful pain she had ever felt in her entire life.

She held her breath and it felt like the time stopped at that moment. Snow hang in mid air, and the only thing moving was him, that handsome man she had always dream of, that Prince she knew she will never have, but still she choose to love.

She was always in control of her feelings but that moment when she was looking at him smiling at her, she felt like she lost all her control. Why? her mind was screaming.

Is it possible for time to stop? If it is, can we remain in this moment forever where in you are there smiling and looking at me... only me? Belle wanted to dream... the most impossible dream, at least for now she'd like to, for she know when her vacation in Japan is over, she will have to go back to her reality.

"I knew you'd be crying again," he said with a naughty grin on his face.

Her lungs was in pain. Did I stop breathing? Will I die? because I feel that at the very moment my heart will burst out from my chest. "Oppa..." she managed to pronounce. He smiled and reached for the scarf to wipe her tears. "These are tears of happiness," she reasoned out. "But you Oppa, why are you here?"

"Why did you turn around? Are you planning on following me?" he asked naughtily.

"Of course not. I just wanna look at your back... for the last time."

"Last time? Aren't you going to see me in Korea again?" his brows furrowed.

"That's not what I meant Oppa. ha ha ha." Now that he is in front of her again, her sadness vanished in an instant. All that's left are worries but she'd rather hurt herself than let go of this moment. "I just wanna look at your back once more until you're gone out of sight. But don't worry Oppa, I am not moving here. I just really wanted to see you off. That's all. But wait... why haven't you left yet?"

"I wanted to see you off too. To make sure this crybaby eel will make it safely back to her hotel," he teased. Her cheeks flustered again but its not because of the cold, its because of what he said.

"Let's go. Which way is to your hotel? There?" he ask pointing the direction she was facing earlier but she didn't move, she just stared at him. "Hey! What happened to you? Lez go!" he told her.

She had no idea what is happening. All she knew is that at that very moment she was walking along side him in a snowy evening. She wished for that night to never end. It felt so wonderful. It felt like a dream. So unreal yet it is so true.

Keun Suk Oppa kept on talking, saying that even if there are a lot of people walking at night in Shibuya it is still unsafe for girls like her to walk alone at night, especially in her case where she looked like a child but she just laughed at what he said. He continued telling her stories about the Team H recent concert in Yokohama. Then some of his fan experiences. She listened to them all with pride.

"How about you? Tell me more about yourself."

"There are nothing much to say Oppa. ha ha ha."

"Why? I'm sure there is." Then a moment of silence, " you're really shy, aren't you?"

She felt flustered at his comment. I know Oppa. I'm boring you am I not, she felt sad.

"I like it. And you know what I think, you are one of the rare eels... and I like it even more"
