Waiting Over Time |Tao x Baekhyun Fanfic|

C2: Careless Move

Tao closes his eyes and starts to move the time recklessly. The wind blows his spirit out of his body as he travels through the tick tocking of clocks.

And there, someone who is smiling with a guitar on his hands flashes before his eyes. He doesn't know who that is but he seems happy and Tao has no problem with that. But when the music fills him up and he dances with it and snaps as the wind sways with him, he suddenly sees someone who is sitting on the ground in front of the bookstore he is now working at.

And he is crying so hard, ruffling his hair and mumbles I'm sorry repeatedly that Tao's heart falls down, he is so broken. And he reads the writing on the board, Chanyeol I will wait for you forever. He suddenly blinks to wake himself up at what he just saw, Whose past or whose future is that? Tao falls silent as he scans around his surroundings thinking if he'll find that guy around but no, he doesn't. He thinks that the guy who was smiling who flashed just now is the one who's crying in front of the bookstore.

Tao looks around again while walking so he accidentally bumps into someone who seems pale and drowsy, "Oh, sorry for that." he tells lazily. Tao looks at the guy carefully examining if this is the guy who flashed right before in his eyes earlier and he is right. The guy steps backward as Tao examines him and he suddenly hits Tao on the stomach.

"OW!" and Tao flinches. "Yah, why did you do that?!" Tao is a little raged because he has not hurt the guy yet the guy punched him in his stomach.

"Because you're looking at me like a maniac! Back off! I don't know you!" the guy shouts and is raged now too. "Yah! Do you need something? But sorry, I don't have my money with me!" the guy says continuously.

Tao then apologizes because he thinks that what he did is really scary. "Can I ask you something?" Tao asks.

Then the guy shows his dimples but he says, "How about a no?" and walks pass Tao. But Tao is really desperate who the guy is but he doesn't know why, maybe because he needs to help this man, "Yah! Why?!!!" the guy is annoyed, making a fist with his fingers.

"Did you cry last time? Or is there something wrong? Or are you feeling okay?" Tao asks continuously and worriedly.

Then the man shoves Tao's hand from his arm and asks Tao instead, "How about you? Why are your eyebags puffed out like that? Is there something wrong with you? Or are you insane?" the guy rolls his eyes and turns around to continue with his walking.

Tao frowns thinking that this man is stubborn opposing the way he looks, "Wait!!" Tao calls but the man just continues walking. Thinking that this would make the man stop, he asks, "Do you know the reason why you are living? Do you know what is the reason you will be dying?"

Then the guy stops and turns around to face him again, "Kiss my ass!" he shouts and everyone who has heard them laughs. Tao facepalms but the guy continues, "NO! I still don't know what I am living for! And I don't know what I am dying for! That's why my life is sooo boring! That's why I have a face like this!" and the guy walks towards Tao and smiles a dimpled one, "I am Zhang YiXing."

Tao stands and gets his hopes up and introduces himself, "I'm Huang Zi Tao." And he laughs. "That was really, I don't know, you're mad, man!" Tao hits YiXing on his arm.

"I'm just bullshit and you realize it." YiXing winks, and Tao laughs. "Yah, why did you ask that kind of question? I never expected that someone would ask me. It's really out of the blue! Seriously, what's wrong with you and you're asking those kinds of things, about living and dying. Why? Are you dying?" YiXing says continuously. "I didn't expect that so I'm not sure of my answer but thinking about it now, my answer is just right." YiXing sighs and looks up the sky.
