The first day that they met was at a bus stop. It was Monday morning. Joohyun didn’t realize a gentleman beside her until  the young man muttered something out from his lips.

“It’s still 6AM, isn’t it?”

Joohyun turn her head to the youth then give a glance to her watch.

“Yes.” Joohyun gave him a short answer.

Her bus came and the day just went like that.

The second day, Joohyun realize that the young man was blind.  She perceived it when the young man walks out his feet with some stick on his grip. The young man take a sit beside her and lean his stick on the chair. And also with that empty gaze. Joohyun sigh a breath out of her mouth. The young man flick a bit, eyes still looking upfront.

“You’re looking at me, aren’t you?” He asked.

Joohyun turn her head immediately.

“No, I’m not.”

The young man chuckle before shook his head.

“I might be blind, but it’s not like I don’t have this thing called intuition.  I tell you, blind people have sharper intuition than the one with normal eyes had.”

“Are you some doctor or something?” Said Joohyun cynically, upset.

“You nearly got it right.”

“Really? Then, what are you?”

“A therapist.” The young man said. He turns his head, so now he face Joohyun. “I’m Cho Kyuhyun.”

“Seo Joohyun.”

                                                               ***

It’s the third day when Joohyun finally gather her courage to start a conversation. The young man still looking the same. With the same empty gaze of his brown eyes.

“You’re not a regular passenger, aren’t you? You never come here frequently before.”

“Yeah, well. I have some goal in my life.”

“And,  why in the world is that have an effect to your  arrival at this bus stop?”

“Like I said, I have some goals in my life. Because I can’t see, there’re so many things I want to feel. Because I can’t see what is like being inside a bus, I tried to feel it. Because I can’t see what objects that were inside a bus, I tried to feel the breeze and smell the scent.”

“Then, have you tried to 'feel' some other transportation than just a bus?”

Kyuhyun nodded.

“Yeah, I tried korail and taxi before.”

Joohyun startled a bit. Shock by this youth in  front of her, trying to be normal while he knew he couldn’t.

“You've tried it hard.” Joohyun said.

“Well, people said, you don’t know until you try.”

                                                            ***

The fourth day was raining. Joohyun ended coming up late at the bus stop. But, what she saw was a quiescent figure. Sitting there with stick on his grip, extend his arm so that his palm can brushed with the raindrops.

Joohyun take a sit beside him and get a rid of  the wetness that caused by raindrops off her clothes.

“How long did you sit here?” Joohyun asked, filled with curiosity.

“It’s raining.” Kyuhyun said, still with extended arm.

“I asked, how long did you sit here. I thought you were blind, not deaf.” Joohyun said coldly.

“It’s been a while since it was raining, isn’t it?”

Joohyun let out a sigh. She gave up her question and opening her ears to Kyuhyun’s random sentences.

“It’s beautiful.” Kyuhyun said.

“How you define beautiful without even seeing them? I mean, you need description to judge something if it was beautiful or not.”

“I don’t know. I just have feelings that they are beautiful. From the raindrop that fall from above to my palms. They’re so well-organized.”

Joohyun let out a bitter laugh. “Well, that’s not make sense.”

“Then, why don’t you describe it to me?” This time, Kyuhyun pulled in his arm to his lap.

“What to describe?”

“The rain.”

Joohyun frowns for a while, then she took a glance to the falling water from above before she finally found the right words to explain.

“It’s…. Falling. Well-organized, just like what you said. It’s made tumultuous yet harmonious sound. It’s made you want to treasure its presence every time it came. It’s made you recall some old memories that already forgotten. It’s….” Joohyun paused for a while, before continuing her words. “….Just beautiful.”

“It’s because you feel it, right?”

“What?”

“Beautiful. You also feel it. You feel some convulse feelings when something beautiful came.”

“You said you feel it just because you can’t see.”

Kyuhyun laugh bitterly. “Well, you’re not wrong.”

“But this time, I think you said it right.”
