Where the Pinkies Bloom

The night I found him…

I should have walked away.

But I didn’t.

And that one decision changed everything.

Do you believe in coincidences?

I didn’t.

Not until the day something impossible appeared right in front of me.

Something… not human.

It was a normal Tuesday—my day off.

I was lying in bed, bored out of my mind, staring at the ceiling like it had answers.

It didn’t.

So I got up, grabbed my earphones, and headed to the forest near my house.

I liked it there.

Quiet. Peaceful.

No noise. No people.

Just birds… and the soft whisper of the wind.

I was halfway through my playlist when something caught my eye.

A glow.

Faint… but impossible to ignore.

I stopped walking.

“What is that…?”

It looked like a flower.

But not just any flower.

It shimmered.

Soft light pulsed through its petals—colors shifting like a rainbow. It didn’t look real.

I stepped closer.

Slowly.

Carefully.

Curiosity pulling me in.

Then—

something moved.

Inside the flower.

I froze.

“…What?”

I leaned closer, my heart starting to pound.

And that’s when I saw it.

A tiny figure.

Small. Fragile.

With glowing wings.

A fairy.

“No way…” I whispered.

It looked weak.

Hurt.

Struggling.

My chest tightened.

Should I touch it?

What if it’s dangerous?

I hesitated.

But something inside me—something I couldn’t explain—told me:

Help him.

So I did.

Carefully, I reached out… and lifted him from the flower.

He was warm.

Too warm.

And weak.

Then suddenly—

he spoke.

“Take the flower… as well.”

My breath caught.

I almost dropped him.

“You… you can talk?” I whispered.

His voice was soft. Faint.

“It’s my home…”

His home?

I glanced at the glowing flower.

So that’s why.

I swallowed, trying to stay calm.

“What… what are you?” I asked.

No answer.

He was already fading.

When he lost consciousness, panic hit me.

I ran.

Straight home.

I placed him gently on my table, my hands shaking.

A fairy.

A real fairy.

This isn’t real.

This can’t be real.

“Kiro! Come eat!”

My mom’s voice snapped me out of it.

“Coming!” I called back.

Quickly, I covered him with a soft cloth.

Just in case.

At dinner… I couldn’t focus.

Then suddenly—

a voice.

Inside my head.

Kiro… thank you for saving me…

I froze.

That voice—

It was him.

I stood up so fast my chair scraped loudly.

“I—I need to go,” I muttered.

And ran.

When I opened my door—

I froze.

Someone was inside my room.

A man.

Standing there.

Naked.

“Oh my god—who are you?!” I gasped, covering my eyes.

“My name is Bi-im,” he said calmly.

“A Bloom Pinkie.”

I slowly looked toward the table.

The fairy…

was gone.

“…That was you?” I whispered.

“You’re… human now?”

“Only until midnight,” he replied.

And somehow…

that wasn’t even the strangest part of that night.

Because deep inside…

I already knew—

my life was about to change.
