Kidnapped by the Light /Hyunho-ONESHOT

Kidnapped by the Light

Lee Know's POV

What is ethereal beauty? What is ethereal light?

A beauty so delicate or refined almost as light as air, regarded as an attributed of god untouched by time, without beginning or end, lasting forever

Dose a beauty like that really exists in this world?

No, of course not ....at least that's what I thought....before I saw him...

College...

A promising place where we stand at a threshold of a dream life, you've come here after a lot of hard work. A new set of challenges lie ahead just so we can extol the importance of hard work, failure and thinking-

"bla bla bla what a bunch of bullshit"

Getting a degree I didn't even want wasted five years of my life, I got an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, then I went to graduate school for Computer Science but I left after two years.

like clockwork, Every day I drove two hours to go to a remedial class in computer programming, to learn something I didn't even wanna do in life , why? It was to prepare for "the real world" as the grownups said

" in short it's all bullshit"

I spent all 5 years pulling all-nighters drinking up to 20 cops of coffee on the daily leaving me with a thin wallet , a headache and a nosebleed as I studied my ass off buried in never ending assignments I'll never need in life ,all that while my fellow dorm mate and best friend slacked off , enjoyed the damn parties fucking a new chick every day

I finally had enough of life when I got my first job in "the real world" As a programmer. My second day on the job I crashed the entire network and lost everyone's email.

I had enough and just wanted to get away for a bit.

Now I'm here at the beach in Oido island , a distance of 36 km,
(road distance being 33.6 km from Seoul )

Yesterday while eating dinner that consisted of one shitty boiled egg and a pack of expired instant noodles I thought about what I should do tomorrow and then looked up the subway route resulting in me now standing in the middle of the poorly maintained beach in Oido, freezing my ass off while inhaling a lung crushing amount of salted cold air.

I was tired, annoyed and frustrated and if that wasn't enough it started raining.
My clothes now fully soaked as a vein popped up near my forehead while my left eye twitched with annoyance.
But I still didn't move from the spot and just sighted softly looking at the lonely sea before me.

Just something told me to stay there, to not move , not even an inch and that this was exactly where I was supposed to be.
So I just stayed there not like I had someone waiting for me or somewhere to be anyways....

I don't even know how much time passed as I got lost in my thoughts gazing off at the wide horizon before me , thinking about everything and absolutely nothing

When a strong blow of bone chilling wind blew snapping me out of my thoughts making me stumble backwards as I shivered a bit.

That's when I heard it , soft whimpers following by few light coughs to my left

I slowly turned my heal to the left as curiosity took over me and made me look at the stranger few feet next to me , And oh was he a sight to see

No amount of cold air could knock my breath away as strongly as him , when I saw him , the person before me who was so so beautiful it was hard to believe he was real

For a moment I even questioned myself if I was finally losing it , because there is simply no way an existence as tender and precious as this existed in this shitty ass world.

He must have sensed me staring at him for a minute too long as he turned towards me tilting his head slightly while locking a time consuming eye contact with me.

The sky was tar-black and the large clouds were moving towards us , It was painfully quiet, only the sounds of musical chime of gentle drops of rain gently falling down on our banal existence.

Just like me , he was drenched from head to toe, his wet clothes sticking to his body reviling a slim silhouette as his long golden blonde hair that was messily tied up in a half ponytail beautifully sticked around his gentle features.

The sky above us that was until recently a beautiful cocktail-blue in shade was beginning to darken into gravel-grey, yet he still oddly sparkled under the gloomy darkness

Every passing minute more and more rain was falling making the sounds blur into one long, whirring noise

" hi..."

Not knowing what to do I awkwardly said not even sure if he heard me from all the drumming like noises

Indicating, that he in fact did hear me, he chuckled softly making me feel a sharp sting against my chest before answering back to me with a soft "hello to you too" that followed with a cutesy hand wave

Not knowing what came over me I grabbed his thin wrist and pulled him towards me as we both started running ,getting farther away from the lonely beach and now entering a crowd of people who also ran for cover

Hesitatingly I let go of his hand , missing the warm feeling of my hand on his as we found shelter at a beat up bus stop near by.

We stayed silent for another 5 minutes just catching up on all the lost breaths from running before he broke the silence

" your name?"

" ha?" I asked back in confusion

" Your name? " he repeated " I'm Hyunjin, Hwang Hyunjin, don't you think I should at least know the name of my kidnapper? "

It took a moment too long to get my brain cells to work properly as we both just kept looking at one another, eyes glued to each other's as if one of us will lose if the eye contact is broken

" M- Minho ... I'm Lee Minho"

At that he smiled gently, few stray giggles escaping the tips of his tongue
I was just there, close to him, a stranger with ethereal beauty.
And in that moment I knew that it wasn't me who kidnapped him as he stated a minute ago sarcastically, it was the light itself that sucked me in blindingly.
