A pair of bloodshot eyes looked up towards the clear blue mixed with slight white day sky, sitting under a shady apple tree while silently watching an unmoved cloud as the time passing by. He's not sure how long he has been sitting there, staring at the sky above but he do feels that it's not the time yet. What time for? He does not know.

The place is so peaceful. Vast sky blue mixed with only a slight mint lake plus with the clear blue sky that seems to be so close to see yet so far to reach. Nothing like in the city or anywhere in the earth, and in the middle of the cyan blue, stood a single tall tree-which seems like it's the one that have a colour contrasting with the sky and lake. A single red apple hanging on one of its branch right on top of where the redhead sits. So ripe and looks so delicious.

However, he knows well what it means to not judging something by its appearance. His mind wandered off to a poem that called 'A Poison Tree', which he has learned it at the literature class in school. A beautiful looking apple killed the poet's enemy with one single bite. An apple that has been showered with fears and sunned with smiles of deceitful wiles as he watched the unmoving cloud above, he wondered whether he was like that too. From when he was still little, he has been through many things.

Memories of his life flashed instantly in his mind, recording everything he has experienced, intend to make his heart feels hurt. At least, giving him back emotion he shut tight in deep within himself but failed. All he could feel was dullness. His life is a mess. The more he lived, the more he started to lose everything he has. Do angels up above really love to see him suffer? He always thinks that angels are beautiful and kind creature-like his Tenn-nii-but was his statement is just a naïve thought children would think all along?

He does not want to leave this place. He hoped to wither away and never going to come back where the harsh reality is waiting to torment him again. People comes and goes, it's just the same cycle that repeated in a string of life called fate. He is scared that the people he has warmed up with would be facing their backs to him and walk away. The red apple shining beautifully, it is so alluring that urging his hand to reach for it and take a bite.

And that is what he does...

However, two hands interfered and grabbed his hand before it could touch the apple. Instantly, bloodshot looked at the owners of those hands and met with two hooded figures. Black and white. So familiar yet he couldn't put his finger on it. Both of the figures smiled warmly and whispered to him something before the place crumbled into pieces like a broken glass.

ーoOoー

Tenn startled awake from his sleep. Looking around in that dark room, he sighed out in relief when he's just in his room. He swears that it was the weirdest dream he has experienced in his entire life. Furrowing his eyebrows, Tenn starts racking his brain to remember about the dream. All he could see was beautiful scenery and a familiar figure before it goes hazy.

Finally shrugging it of out of frustration, Tenn reached for his phone beside the bed to see the time. Seeing it was still too early to get prepare for school, Tenn get up from his bed and walk towards the window. He smiled when he sees the sun was beginning to rise. The sky looks so beautiful that he could feel the urging sensation to reach out his hands and touch it-he wondered how was the sky feels like on his fingertips.
