"But first," Guy said. "We need to check the news. I'm worried something new might be happening," he continued anxiously."Alright," Angela agreed. "Shall we go to the same place as last time?""I was just thinking that-if it's alright with you..." he started to say, but Angela interrupted him."Hey, your family is my family too," she said.Guy was both surprised and delighted. His mind raced with thoughts. Did that sentence mean something deeper, or was she just showing how much she cared for him? But without dwelling on it too long, he turned to her, cupped her cheeks in his hands, and said, "You are an amazing woman." Then he kissed her. Hand in hand, they set off down the road.The sight before them as they walked was almost beyond belief. Everywhere they looked, there were crumbling buildings, shattered and cracked windows, bricks, debris, splintered wood, and dust scattered all over the streets. It looked like the aftermath of a war.As they shared thoughts about everything that had happened, they finally reached the technology store. Just like the other day, the news broadcast was still running. The screen flashed with red banners and blinking headlines. It seemed there was no end to the breaking news.Angela didn't even glance at the news anymore as she turned to Guy. "Hey, Guy, I'm just going to check out that shop over there," she said. Guy was so focused on the news that he didn't ask any questions and simply replied, "Alright, see you in a bit," giving her a brief glance.The sales assistant, noticing Guy's arrival, recognized him immediately. She grabbed the remote, turning up the volume on the TV. Guy gave a thumbs-up, silently approving. As the sound of the newscaster grew louder, he muttered to himself, "Let's see," and began watching with a mix of curiosity and worry."With the rise of Atlantis, the waves expected to form haven't yet reached tsunami levels, ladies and gentlemen. Due to the continent's slow rise and the simultaneous lowering of the sea level, there is no immediate danger. However, the rise of the continent hasn't completely stopped yet. For those living in coastal cities, be aware that you may see larger waves than before. We hope these waves won't escalate into a disaster.""Hmm," Guy murmured, realizing this was the news his mother had mentioned. But the newscaster continued with intriguing updates. "The volcanic eruptions in Iceland and Italy, which are spewing lava and ash simultaneously, have caused a dust cloud that is disrupting air traffic in neighboring countries. Due to continued volcanic activity, flights are being canceled one after another.""That's understandable," Guy muttered."And another development, ladies and gentlemen-new land is rising in the West Pacific, between Japan and Hawaii. Some are calling this new land Mu, alongside Atlantis, but for now, the name is less important than whether this new land will impact the disasters we're experiencing today..."Just then, music started playing from another store. Guy recognized the voice immediately-Bruno Mars. But the sounds were blending together, and despite not focusing on either one, he couldn't quite make out both of them clearly.As he continued to watch the unfolding news, he noticed a figure approaching him from the corner of his eye. Turning his head, he saw Angela walking toward him, her new clothes catching the light. His heart raced, a smile spreading across his face as he admired her confident, graceful stride. She looked like she owned the world, and he couldn't help but marvel at the transformation. The way she moved, the way she carried herself-it was as if she had always known how beautiful she truly was.His eyes softened as he gazed at her, but his attention shifted back to the song. The lyrics now felt like they were meant just for them:"If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you
If the party was over and our time on Earth was through,
I'd wanna hold you just for a while and die with a smile,
If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you."
By the time Angela reached him, Guy took her hand and pulled her gently into his arms, leading her into a slow, intimate dance. As they moved together, he spun her softly, her laughter and the quiet hum of the music filling the air around them. He gazed into her eyes, and without missing a beat, he sang the lyrics to her, his voice warm and sincere.As they swayed together, Guy's movements became more tender, more meaningful. He held her close, his hand at the small of her back, guiding her as if every step they took was in sync with his heartbeat. Angela, completely attuned to him, let herself be carried by the rhythm, their bodies moving as one. When she twirled in his arms, the world seemed to disappear, leaving just the two of them in that intimate moment.When they drew close again, Guy whispered in her ear, "You look incredible," his voice full of admiration. His lips brushed her earlobe as he pulled her even closer, giving her hand a gentle kiss. He spun her around again, letting her hair fly through the air as the music reached its final notes. When the song ended, he pulled her into a tight embrace, inhaling the scent of her hair, before gazing into her eyes and saying softly, "I love you."
