They walked and walked until the edge of the beach. There was a light tower. After asking for permission, they climbed the tower. The stair steps were shallow, and it was narrow.
"S-Senior, can we just walk back to the beach?" Sui was most afraid of heights. His hands trembled as he grabbed Xuyun's shirt.
"We are almost there," Xuyun chuckled. He opened a door, which led them to a light so bright. The wind blowed their hair.
.
.
They could see the entire sea and sky.
.
.
Xuyun glanced at Sui's dumbstruck face. He could stare at him all day, and would never get bored. He strokes the hair on his cheek. Sui closed his eyes, his shoulder lifted. He felt ticklish. He was just like a hamster. Xuyun lifted his chin.
"Don't be this cute in front of others," he said.
Sui froze. He never even imagined the word 'cute' would came from senior's mouth. He instantly blushed and looked away. "I-I'm not cute."
Sui Lowered his head. His face turned red, his ears and neck too. What kind of men would say, 'I'm not cute' with this kind of expression? This made Xuyun crazy. He laid his head on Sui's shoulder.
"Hh.. What should I do with you, Sui Shizi?"
.
.
You're the start of everything. If it wasn't because of you, I wouldn't have known this ugly truth of life. If it wasn't because of you, I would still be a pitiful person who clings to the past. If it wasn't because of you, I would not want this life anymore. What should I do, Sui Shizi? I still want to keep living. I want to go star gazing with you. I want to be with you a little longer.
He could feel Sui hugged his shoulder.
.
.
"I love you, senior," he said.
Xuyun knew that. Sui had said that almost fifty times. He glad that this time he had a chance to say it first. "You're too moody. You said it this time, but next time you might say you hate me."
"I won't!" Sui slapped his back. "I definitely won't say that!��
Xuyun laughed. Sui, you said it yourself. You definitely wouldn't hate me. Keep your words, okay?
.
.
They hugged each other comfortably until they realized something drop, making their clothes wet. It started raining, unexpectedly. The clear sky turned grey, there were thunder rumbling. The light tower keeper shouted from the stairs, telling them to go down.
Slowly because of the dark, they went down. The light tower keeper told them to go back home immediately, because a big storm was coming.
Xuyun knew it. It was coming. It was already 5 PM. He grabbed Sui's hand and ran.
.
.
"Senior, we can't drive in this weather. Should we take shelter in a nearby restaurant?"
.
.
Xuyun nodded. They ran into the nearest cottage, which was a seafood restaurant. But, as they stepped inside, a bunch of people rushed outside, nearly bumped into Sui, if there was no Xuyun shielding him.
"Run! Run! A big storm is coming!" they yelled.
"Quick! Go toward the city! If there's a huge storm coming, this cottage could be wiped out too!" the owner gave those teenagers a quick brief, before he ran outside himself. Xuyun and Sui quickly followed them.
The rain were going heavier, and the wave became more and more qild. Thunder kept deafening their ears. Xuyun let Sui ran besides him, so he wouldn't got hit by the wave.
.
.
They ran and ran, when the road could finally be seen, they climb onto it. Then, they took a shelter in a conveniece store.
"What happened, what's with the sudden storm??" the owner of the store asked, she seemed afraid that the weather would keep getting bad. The people from the cottage chatted. They had not encountered a weather this bad since long ago.
.
.
Xuyun went ahead and bought tissues. He wiped Sui's face that was drenched wet.
"It is weird," he heard Sui said. "Today should be hot all day, not like this."
Xuyun didn't say anything. It was always like this, 'death' would do anything to get what it wanted. Something unexpectedly always happen at this time. It was 5:30 PM now.
But, he did noticed something unusual. This time, Sui didn't attempt to leave him before 5 PM. Usually he would stare at his watch, keeping the right time to leave. This time, he didn't. Why? Was it because he was going to die too?
His mind was occupied with these thoughts, so he didn't caught what Sui had said.
.
.
"What…?"
.
.
Sui stared at his eyes. "This time… am I going to die too?"
.
.
A huge thunder struck, the flash was so bright that the surrounding area turned black and white. Then, everything went dark.
