Chapter 5 - Close to the (1/1)

Narration / < Taeyeon > & < Donghae >  The sounds of the waves communicating with the winds could be heard as what looked as if there was an ordinary couple embracing themselves near the edge of the bridge.  But those witnessing this beautiful scene had not realised that this was far from the truth. It was merely an illusion. A young woman was lucky enough to escape this near death experience by a handsome stranger. Saving her from committing the one sin that she could ever possibly commit. Suicide.  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .    Her head gently rested against his chest., as the sound of his heart was beating rapidly could be heard from the sudden rush of adrenaline that occurred. She looked so delicate under the reflection of the disappearing sunlight.  Lookin down at her the young man felt her become tense and pull away from him.  Her large brown eyes hardened at the sight of him. It was obvious that she had been crying earlier but she didn't want to burden or trust the stranger who had saved her life earlier.  Her beauty was clearly mesmorising to him. She had pale clear skin and long brown hair. She was quite petite which made her appear even more delicate and vulnerable.  Fluttering  her eyes open, Taeyeon had realised the position that she had got herself into. Surprised by the sudden contact of a stranger she gently pushed herself away from him.  Looking up her eyes met with the stranger, she was surprised at how handsome this stranger was. Noticing how she had changed her expression she quickly put on her cold front. She didn't want anyone to see her this way as she feared she would grow attach to them if she revealed her vulnerable side. At that moment she was simply embarassed crying in front of a stranger and scared, almost desperate yet cleverly hiding how she felt.  Searching her mind for the words to say to this stanger, she was interrupted by the young man.  " Ahem..... are you okay. I didn't mean to startle you, i saw you taking a step off the....."  " I'm not crazy. I don't want to die" Taeyeon suddenly blurted out with a stern yet frightened look on her face.  Startled by how she replied back Donghae smiled and gently said " I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply anything like that. I am Donghae by the way nice to meet you"Surprised by the gentle tone in his voice Taeyeon simply nodded at the man and began to turn away from him.  "Excuse me, I can walk you home if you want. I mean i should walk you home because its dangerous for someone like you to walk home by yourself"Donghae spoke whilst smiling warmly at her.

He studied her face waiting for a reply.   Her voice wavered as she replied back hastily with "I... sorry, but no thankyou" as she started to walk away from Donghae.  It was if Donghae had felt that she was lying, it felt as if he could see right through her like they were connected in someway. She had a perplex expression on her face and Donghae felt uneasy leaving her alone on her own. Perhaps it was fate when he grabbed her arm and insisted with a sincere tone that he would walk her back home. Unable to come up with an excuse she looked towards the young man and slightly nodded.  The walk back towards her house was silent apart from the occasional questioning about the direction of her house. Somehow Taeyeon had felt peaceful with Donghae. Even though they weren't talking, walking through the streets with the cool air blowing through her hair was a very calm feeling that she hadn't felt in a long time. She felt comfortable with him. She couldn't describe this feeling but she wanted to know more about him. She was drawn to him.  As they both arrived at Taeyeon's house, she took the first intiative to kindly thank him wearily. He smiled back at her again with that warm smile thatmade her heart flutter.  She watched him as he took a step towards her and pat her head as he told her to not get into any trouble anymore." If you need someone to talk to you can always come find me at the restaurant around the corner" he told her as he started to turn and walk down the dark street.  Closing her eyes tightly then opening them again, she wondered if she would regret saying this, if she would regret letting him into a part of her heart.  "Wait" she yelled.  Surprised, he turned again and waited for her to speak as he gently nodded for her to continue.  Finding courage to go against the restraints in her mind she began to stutter,"M..My name is Taeyeon... I am Taeyeon".She spoke softly as if she was unsure of her own name. Embarrassed by how she acted, she widened her eyes as she heard a slight chuckle fromthe young man in front of her.  She looked up from the ground towards him.  He was smiling brightly at her as he waved goodbye. Staring at his back until he was out of her site, Taeyeon wondered whether this is what you call love at first site. Just a few seconds ago she was drowning in her own sorrows and despairs but upon a chance encounter with Donghae he took away all of her pain.   "Will this dreadful painful feeling in my heart ever go away if i let him heal my heart or will he abandon me just like the others"Will a chance encounter between two strangers stay as a chance meeting or will fate bring them together.   x X x Its already  a new year & i have been busy. I have finally updated but it was hard.. i had to refresh my memory as to where i had left the story. I tried my best to make the story flow so hopefully it all works out. This chapter includes Taeyeon & Donghae interactions so its not really anyone point of view in specific its both... I don't really want to write for example Taeyeon point of view for a scene then write Donghae point of view of the same scene.
