The day dawned crisp and clear as brilliant gold and orange hues bled like fire in the east over the rivers and beyond the city. The first slither of the sun peeked over the skyline in a radiant, white form. As the minutes processed on, sunlight filled the sky, pure scattered light; its hue ambitiously illuminating each crevice of the land.

Sparrows chirped an explicit background melody as the morning had arrived, people getting out and about to their preferred destinations.

The trees shone as if they were wearing golden crowns and the vast sea was not able to absorb the bright sparks of the sun. After the blackness of night, Earth's star rises on the horizon, spreading her gold in every direction. 

She didn't need an invitation, as she comes in ways natural forces do, spreading her warmth and love. The view was almost breathtaking.

Most people rushing down the street, eager to get to their specified destinations, not bothering to look up to the sky's spectacular view. As it happens almost everyday, people choose to ignore the gorgeous view, they often forget to thank mother nature—to appreciate the smaller things in life. Instead people choose to dwell on the past and the copious amount of stress they bear, not even taking a moment to relax and appreciate all they've come through.

The first rays of sunlight seeped through the blinds of the room, awakening the sleeping beauty, who sleeps soundly in his bed not a worry in mind. And as the story goes, sleeping beauty is awakened by a kiss and meets her knight in shining armor. Only this time there was no kiss, neither was there a prince— or as it should've been princes.

The black haired boy groans as the first light of the morning hits his shut eyes, disturbing his peaceful slumber. He mumbles something incoherently, and lifts his sleepy body to sit upright only to fall back down, once again onto the light mattress. Quite comedic really, but then again it is most of us in a drowsy state.

Taehyung falls asleep once again, listening to the soothing chatter of the Robins outside his small window, the birds chirping on and off, their songs soothing and peaceful to the mind. Just like an orchestra, there's a set sequence, making it all the more beautiful and magical. The morning chatter was disrupted only by the whistle of the alarm, effectively waking up the beauty, although not completely but just enough for him to get out of his sleepy state.

Taehyung hums in approval once the alarm had been shut down, rubbing a hand over his face trying to get rid of his tiredness. He twists his body side to side, doing various stretches, eventually relaxing his body. The boy sat down on his bed and stared at his wall, seemingly trying to contemplate life, whereas in reality he was trying to recollect his memories from yesterday.

Then it hit him.

...

I hurriedly got up from the mattress, pushing the sheets to the side, already missing the warmth of it. It couldn't have been a dream could it? no, no I'm over reacting. There's absolutely no fucking way all of that was a dream. Right? Right.

I ruffled my hair, looking around the room in full blown panic. There has to be something— anything, they wouldn't just leave me like that. But then again I had only met them yesterday, it could've all been a simple hallucination, a trick of the mind. Later on I remembered the timer on my wrist, the one that counts down to the precise moment you meet your significant other.
