Ocean Eyes

People expected many things from the volunteers as they were the hopes that could be untroubled reached by the tsunami victims. Official workers tended to uphold very high discipline and they barely talked casually with the people.

From the surface, those volunteers looked happily presenting themselves by helping each other and putting their biggest smiles. However, nothing really came from their heart, nothing was really sincere. Of course, not everyone had lost their sense of humanity, but knowing that the majority never really worked for the society was really betraying.

There were groups of people with different mindsets back in their heads. Those who tried to be nice as profoundly were considered as outsiders, they didn't belong to those who really sat on thrones.

Everything was staged for certain class.

— — — — —

Two days had gone by, it meant the students still had twelve days to go before they could really free themselves from the situation they called 'regret' and 'hell' for standing among the tsunami victims.

Some of families had found new home, new job. Although it was only for temporary, at least they could live under a proper roof and doing a proper job for the continuity of their lives. Government had to do everything one by one, step by step, the rest of them just had to be patient more than the others.

Huening Kai's family was one of the families who had to stay longer at the evacuation camp.

The boy was found sitting on the ruins, with a book on a half-wrecked brick and a lantern on the edge of his book. It was night already, the light sources were limited and a lot of people needed the same amount of brigtness. Huening Kai deserted himself, a little bit far away from crowds to find peace because he had to study for the next day.

He just got new stationery, thanks to the volunteers who gave it to him from the donation, Huening Kai could write and study properly again.

Huening Kai used to love the sound of the sea, how the waves cleaved the sand and crashed the coral reef. Everything about the sea used to be beautiful for him, but tsunami changed his life forever. He was so young and he found it very unfortune that there was fear growing inside of him. He just lost one of the best thing he could have had in his life.

Meanwhile Huening Kai took a small break in the middle of his study time and thinking about how his life was slowly changing backwards, there was another guy observing him from distance. A tall man with well-separated comma hair, showing off his glowing forehead.

Soobin put both of his hands inside of his Levi's denim jacket's pocket, letting the wind grasped his black hair gently. A lot of thoughts coming for him, either hate or regret, Soobin could not decide which one mattered for him the most. The day he was inconsiderate towards Huening Kai was storaged perfectly on his head, under his consciousness.

"Are you okay?" Hyunjin approached his friend. "You seem so fond of something."

"Me?" Wrinkles appeared on Soobin's face. "No, I'm just thinking when will I be able to go home."

"Are you sure? That boy doesn't distract you or something?"

"...which boy?"

"Brazilian boy, Huening Kai."

"He's Brazilian?"

"You look like a literal dummy when you are pretending to be one." Hyunjin sighed.

"I told you, I don't care about that boy. I just need some fresh air since I've been inside there for too long." Of course Soobin tried to avoid the question no matter what.
