Chapter 18 - "Time is cruel"

It was bright. So Bright Chanyeol could barely see. He turned and saw a beautiful red sunset stretching out in front of him.  Standing a couple feet in front of him stood a man. Dressed all in white. His sliver hair flowed in the breeze and the tune he sung carried on the wind as it passed. 

Chanyeol took a step forward. Then another. As he got closer he noticed something. For once the man wasn't crying. The song was the same yet no tears ran down his face. Chanyeol walked forward and stood beside the man. 

Chanyeol stared at the man but even standing next to him, he couldn't make out his face. The light of the sunset was covering the man's face in shade. 

"A sad scene indeed" A voice said from behind. Chanyeol whipped around to see who was talking. He couldn't see anyone. 

"Time is curl to those he doesn't like"  The voice spoke again. Chanyeol frantically looked around for the source of the voice. 

"Poor Baekhyun, he doesn't remember a thing, until he was freed" Chanyeol furrowed his eyebrows and took a step away from the man in white. 

"Who are you!?" Chanyeol called. A deep chuckle ripped through the cliff. 

"A good question my friend but a question you cannot know the answer too" The voice replied. Chanyeol was  very confused he had no idea what was going on. 

"What do you want with Baekhyun?" Chanyeol called out again. 

"To see him happy again" 

Chanyeol stood still. The soft breeze passed through, the song was sung on uninterrupted. 

"He used to be so bubbly and cheerful, everyone enjoyed his company. He was curios, he always wanted to know how things worked and where they came from. Of course humans were his main interest. He would spend hours watching them in pure fascination." 

Chanyeol  looked over at  the man in white again. The shadow seemed to be lifting from his face. Chanyeol could just about make out  a pair of pump lips, the outline a cute button nose. 

"He lived peacefully until Kronos came for him. Kronos was jealous of Baekhyun and all the attention he got. Kronos believe that Baekhyun didn't deserve to be happy. So when he got the chance, Kronos cast Baekhyun out. Kronos removed all the memories Baekhyun had and sent him to wonder the world he loved unnoticed." 

Chanyeol watched as the shadow on the man's face slowly lifting. His mind was spinning. 

"Kronos as in... the god of time"  Chanyeol whispered. 

"That's right" 

A bright light suddenly illuminated the figure standing next to Chanyeol. The red head turned to see Baekhyun standing next to him. The man was Baekhyun. He stood staring out across the pink ocean in front of them. He looked stunning as if created by God's.

"After we banished Kronos it took us a while to find Baekhyun when we did we granted 1 wish he always wanted

To be with the humans"

Chanyeol looked out across the water. So much made sense now.

"But why is Baekhyun with me?" Chanyeol asked nothing. The voice gave another deep rumbling chuckle.

"He seemed to have taken a liking to you maybe a bit more than you realise" Chanyeol blushed and looked back across the water. The sun was now dipping behind the sea, the light was nearly all gone.

A wave tiredness suddenly took over Chanyeol's body causing him to stumble. His eyes fluttered before closing completely. He felt his body falling backwards into deep into darkness.

"Take care of him"

"Baekhyun, the god of light"

Chanyeol sat blot upright in bed. His heart was pounding in his chest and a light seat had formed over his body. The covers had pooled around his waist leaving his upper body exposed to the night air. The room was silent. The curtains rustled from the breeze passing through the open window. 

Chanyeol let out a breath and looked around the room. It was empty. Baekhyun was in the room. Confused, Chanyeol through the covers aside and stood up. He walked out the room and looked around, Baekhyun wasn't in the bathroom.  He continued down the corridor into the living room. 

There, sat on the sofa was Baekhyun, the laptop open on his lap searching something. Chanyeol smiled, from where he was standing he couldn't quite make out what Baekhyun was reading but it looked like an article of some sort. Chanyeol just smiled and headed back to the bedroom. He lay down and closed his eyes. 

A few minutes later Chanyeol heard the door to the bedroom slowly opened. Chanyeol kept his eyes tight shut, not wanting to give away his position. He felt the covers move beside him and Baekhyun thin arms wrap around his waist. Baekhyun gently rested his head on Chanyeol's chest and sighed. 

Chanyeol smiled to himself and let sleep begin to wash over again. As he began to fall asleep a small voice broke through his thought before he fell asleep completely. 

"Thank you"
