Tinnitus|original story

Just like ✨Magic✨

Tall boys.

With strong biceps and tights.  

With a sweet smile or a sexy smirk. 

Boys that play sports, sing play instruments, dance, act, are good in school...

Perfect boyfriends and friends.

Good looking and kind.

Bad boys, always riding their motorbikes and making trouble.

Anything cool or cute or hot.

That's my opposite.

I'm everything but sweet, good looking, good in academics.

I'm not even bullied.

I'm not even bad.

I'm lazy but i manage to pass tests so i don't even get noticed by teachers.

I'm not a pro gamer, or the quiet kid with big potential.

I can sing and play the bass a little, but i do it just for fun, 'cause i panick in front of people.

I'm just the perfect person to be a ghost.

Sometimes i wish i were famous: i could party and post photos and be cool.

Sometimes i wish i were hot stuff: the kind of guy every girl likes.

Sometimes i wish i were a rockstar, but i'm too lazy and to scared to play well or sing with people watching.

Just a rock, ok?

I'll be a rock and i'll be fine: you know, not doing anything, just rolling.

I could do my own kind of rock n roll!

Why do i even try: i'm not even funny.

It's just, sometimes...

The young man groaned.

Another annoying day of university was about to start.

He dragged himself through the small room, to the bathroom.

The apartment was immersed in the shade of a half shut sunblind.

Clothes layed around the floor and on the bed.

Here he comes back, picks up a shirt and pants from the floor , a bag, unkindly thrown in a corner of the room, and heads out.

Not even bothered to tie his shoelaces, Hanbin descends the stairs.

He slides into a small passage and leaves the padded sound of the alley to enter the messy chaos of one of Seoul's main roads.

He's late.

___

I wanna sleep.

I'm late for class, but i don't care.

It's like 11:50 in the morning and the streets near uni are all empty.

I just drag my feet around the yard of the university's building.

My first lesson must be about to finish, so i decide to enter on the second one.

In the middle of the garden there's a fountain and behind it was sitting a very handsome guy.

How annoying.

He turns and looks directly into my eyes, then he signals me to sit next to him.

I scoff.

Why would he even want me to?

I walk up to him.

These are the situations where i really wish i were a rock.

-Yeah?- i ask.

His smile brightens even more.

-Hey, do you like magic?

Something about that phrase just shook my soul.

Was it the smile, so sweet and pure that no one ever directed to me?

Was it the light of 11:53 in the morning?

Was it his voice, so thin and pure, passing my whole existence like a glass arrow?

-...yes...

-Wanna see a trick?

He must be just a few years older than me and yet he's so different.

His skin is so silky and smooth, his traits so delicate, yet visible.

I nod, mesmerized.

-You're gonna be a rock star, like you wanted.

Suddenly all the sound become padded, like i'm thrown underwater.

I see everything blurring.

I feel like i'm drowning off the deep end and then tinnitus overtakes my ears and my mind.

___

The guy has disappeared.

When Hanbin regains  vision something is off.

Why is he on the floor?

He tries to get up in vain.

Why does everything look... so...  BIG!

Did the magician turn him into something strange? Is that even possible?

Suddenly, a giant foot stomps on him.

Oh, no. It's the end.

Hanbin feels the touch, but he doesn't flinch.

He's... alive?

He is!

How?

And where's the sexy magician?

What did he do?

Another giant shoe kicks him into some water.

What's this small lake?

Then he realizes: he's small.

Little.

Tiny.

He checks in the puddle.

What's that grayish color and weird shape?

He expected to be an insect, in stead, he's a rock.

___

Ok, good!

Life lesson number one learnt: don't wish for odd things.

A hot magician might come up to you at 11:53 in the morning and make your wishes come true.

Great! (can you hear me roll my eyes?)
