Ch. 2Second Chapter


“I could doubt my own self but never you, Donghyuck.” Donghyuck looks at Jaehyun and the man looked as if he really meant those words. And maybe, he even did.

“Jaehyun… I still don’t know as to why this happened or how this happened or what just even happened. But, I’m really, really happy that it happened. I’m happy that you happened. Call it exaggerating or call it fast, but you really are the best thing ever happened in my life so far.”

“No. Not the best, Donghyuck. There are many things and people, which are even better and the ones for you. When the time comes, you’ll know it. And trust me, the time is near.” Jaehyun says slowly and Donghyuck didn’t seem impressed with the other’s comment.

He was about to protest but before he could speak, Jaehyun already continued, “Though, I’m really grateful that I could make you feel happy. Your happiness is my happiness.”

Jaehyun’s last comment made Donghyuck’s heart flatter as his lips curves into a gleeful smile. Jaehyun was really something. Something so precious, that Donghyuck could not afford to lose.

“I really don’t have such mesmerizing words like you to describe how thankful I am to meet you. So…” Donghyuck moves the flower bouquet in his hands forward to Jaehyun. “Here’s a little gift for you. They are obviously not as precious as you but they will sure remind you of me. I hope you will remember me, Jaehyun.”

Jaehyun accepts the flowers gladly and smells them for a moment, inhaling the scent of the fresh sunflowers. Donghyuck was confused as if it were the flowers which made Jaehyun beautiful or Jaehyun who made the flowers beautiful. Either way, the view in front of him was purely beautiful. “And I hope that you will come.” Jaehyun asks taking the latter out of his thoughts.

The other man blinks for a second thinking if he heard the question properly or not. “Sure but, where?”

“Wherever your heart leads.” Jaehyun answers turning his head straight looking at an unspecified direction. Donghyuck followed where the latter was looking only to see the breezy fog.

“Thanks for the flowers though. They smell really sweet.” Donghyuck hears Jaehyun complimenting while still looking in the same direction.

He chuckles when a certain question comes into his mind out of the blue. “Do you think if sunflowers are as sweet as...” He turns his head back to face Jaehyun but the man wasn’t there anymore. Jaehyun was really a spark of happiness and Donghyuck would sure treasure him.

“Peaches.”

There were many amusing things about these three beautiful people. But, the most amusing thing was they seemed to feel connected with Jaehyun as much as he felt with them. The magical appearance and disappearance of Jaehyun didn’t seem to shock them. It felt as if they were so familiar with it. As if they were delighted by it. And maybe they were for real somehow.

“Dodo, where are you?”

A little white creature starts cuddling by Jaehyun’s feet, taking the said man’s attention as he slowly sits down to pet the animal but another shout from the same voice before distracts him. “Here you are you little thing.”

As soon as Jaehyun’s eyes witness the person whom the voice belonged to, they meet the gummiest man with the gummiest smile ever. There wasn’t much difference between him and the little creature. Both were fluffy and adorable. And even though the man was panting, he seemed to keep his warm and welcoming aura together, which pleased Jaehyun’s heart to an extent already.

“I thought bunnies go for hibernation during winters.” Jaehyun says as the other man approaches him and the rabbit.

“Of course they do. Her siblings mostly live in their little caves around the caretaking area. But she just seems to be… You know like, different. She just happened to be different than the others.” The latter speaks while sitting besides the surprisingly charming stranger.

“Is she like this because of you?”

The man chuckles at the slightly obvious question. “Well, she stays with me most of the time and even I like her the most. And that’s how we became the closest to each other.”

“And that’s why she also became stubborn like you.”

The bunny like man makes a surprised expression, as if the other said what exactly was true. He accepted that he was stubborn. “But not in a bad way.” The sparkling stranger added and now the surprised expression turns into a confused one.

“You know like, you will surpass any obstacle to get something, or someone you cherish by your heart. You will give everything it takes to meet the ones you yearn for.”

Now the expression on the man’s face was just priceless. His eyes were telling a thousand words yet his lips just stayed slightly parted in amusement. “You seem to read people’s persona just by their eyes.” Came from the amused man’s lips after a moment of wondering.

“Or I just happened to read your eyes... As well as your heart.”

A light tint of blush appeared on other male’s facial features as he responds. “It’s a little obvious for me to hear such words as I’ve literally never even talked with someone this much. I don’t know the feeling of sharing your thoughts with someone or hearing their thoughts back. Especially these delighting thoughts like yours.” He averts his eyes to the animal as his mind went on. “Dodo is the only being in my life. And she is not as thoughtful as you are, but I’m still really thankful of her presence.”

“You got her such an adorable name. Just as adorable as her.”

“Well, talking of names, I’m Dongyoung. May I know the name of the adorable stranger as well?”

“Jaehyun.”

The name sounded melodic, the name sounded familiar. A single term seemed to hold million mysterious pieces but mostly, “Your name reminds me of peaches.”

Jaehyun giggles at the fruity comment. “Been told that once. Just… In a different way.”
