Baekhyun approach her and said "Can we have some coffee?"
"Do we need to?" Death asked with her never ending poker face
Baekhyun just grab her wrist and they entered her unit.
He have her sit and made some coffee.
"Wow.. You entered my apartment and went straight to the kitchen.." Death said while grabbing the book on one of the shelves.
He place the coffee at the table and asked "Can you continue the story of the rabbit who fell in love with a human?"
Lalong tumahimik ang paligid, inilapag na lang din ni Baekhyun ang kape sa lamesa, sa tapat nito.
She sip some coffee and stared to it
"Once there was a princess who was very beautiful. She shine as bright as the stars on a moonlit night."
She then stared to him and continued "But what difference did it make that she was beautiful?"
He just stared at her and then she continued again "None. No difference."
Baekhyun then asked "Why did it make no difference?"
"Because she was a princess who loved no one and cared nothing for love, even though there were many who loves her."
"It seems that I know what will fill the blanks you gave me..." Baekhyun said with sadness in his face.
"Baekhyun, listen..." She said when Baekhyun seems going already.
"The princess maybe cared a little but she can't show it....."
"What do you mean death.." Baekhyun said curiously.
She just then continue "You said you want me to continue the story of the rabbit?"
Baekhyun got confused for some reason at napatingin na lamang muli sa dalaga
"The story is base on a book called The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane"
"Edward Tulane is the name of the rabbit."
"Then he is a guy" Baekhyun answered
"yeah.... sure..." Death then answered
"The arrogant rabbit who didn't know how to love traveled all over the galaxy. He was always busy in finding the way back to his place, the place where he belongs."
"That is until he lost his owner. The rabbit tried to help his owner out of that battlefield but it was too late, he died..."
"The rabbit buried him and throw his self in the middle of the sea that no one can find."
"Then what happen?" Tanong ng isang boses
"Hyung??" Sabi naman ni Baekhyun sa bagong dating na mga bisita
"Akala ko ba mag papahinga na kayo?" Tuloy pa nito
"We cannot missed your birthday." Sabi naman ni Kris
"Remember we always celebrate it together, just the 12 of us." sagot naman ni Kai
"So that is what you and Death talking about earlier?" Baekhyun to Sehun
"I thought you were going to text me to open the door?" Death asked.
"I forgot to give you your extra key card." Kyungsoo said
Death just stared like asking how. He continued "Sorry.. I saw it when you save Baekhyun from the failing stone..."
"Manager ay este Professor Death, continue the story." Pag tatanong naman ni Chanyeol
She then just smiled at them na kanina pa alam na dumating sila. Remember she is a no ordinary girl.
"Where did I stop?" Sabi na lamang nito and continued her story.
"She hide herself beneath the dark sea but one day a fool divers swam beneath that sea and found her. She was very lonely but when they came, she knows how to smile again..."
"How long did you hold that fake smiles you are giving to people before..." Xiumin asked na may kasamang pag aalala sa kanya
"Hyung.." Pag pigil naman dito ni Kai.
"I saw those smile, its very different smile that you gave me when you first call me oppa." Pag tutuloy naman ni Xiumin
Death smiled at him and said" Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
"But is there really Joy for you to smile or a genuine smile for you to feel that joy." Yixing asked
"Aren't people smile because they can surpass everything....." Kris ask.
"Just because someone carries it all so well, doesn't mean it's not heavy. doesn't mean they can surpass everything..." Death answered
"You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile." She continued while lighting the candles in the cake.
Then isa - isa nya itong tignan "So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected, let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!"
Nagtawanan naman silang lahat
"EXO, your songs, dance, and smiles is what your fans are always waiting for. Ibat' ibang wika man ang meron tayo but a warm smile is a universal language."
"Your smile is their smile, your laugh is their happiness."
"Don't be that rabbit that hide herself beneath that dark ocean."
"Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
"That's what you guys taught a professor like me."
"Be Happy.. you only leave once.." Sabi naman bigla ni Tao.
"No... You only die once but you live everyday..." She answered
"They all smile at her and Suho said "Thank you Death for coming in our lives."
"No."
.
.
She smiled
"Thank you..." Death answered sincerely
"I am very fluttered to dive in that ocean and found that rabbit." Sabi naman ni Luhan and smile genuinely
"Saeng il chuk ha ham ni da, Saeng il chuk ha ham ni da, Sarang ha neun Baekhyun shi, Saeng il chuk ha ham ni da" Kantahan naman ng mga ka - myembro nya bigla bigla .
"Happy birthday Baekhyun yun lamang ang sinabi ng dalaga."
"Then I think I will be more busy in filling the blanks." Baekhyun whispered
"So, kayong dalawa lang ang nag - kakaintindihan" sabi naman ni Kyungsoo dito.
Narinig ito ng dalaga pero hindi nya pinansin and said "I need to go back to the university tomorrow."
Baekhyun sat beside her and said "Death, I will wait tomorrow. You will go to my birthday, right?"
She stared at him first trying to figure out what to say.
"Let me think about it..." Death answered and winked at him
"And Mr. Do Kyungsoo.. My EXTRA key card please?" She continued
Iniabot naman ito ng binata sa kanya
They are done eating and EXO is about to go home.
"Death, thank you..." sabi naman nila ng sabay sabay.
She waived them goodbye and smiled.
She closes the door and lean to it.
"The more I'm with you, the more I want to stay.. But if I stay...." She did not continue and suddenly tears fall from her eyes.
