A reckless jump. A change in the setting. Cold and refreshing atmosphere. Just like the old days. Warmth in the heart. A soft gaze. A moment.
Hye-Rin and Yun-suk, both held each other as they fell, time slowing down around them. They looked at each other warmly. A familiar feeling. Smiling. A steady heartbeat. It felt as if it didn't matter even if the world ended at the moment. Freedom. "Breathe" felt personified. You could feel it. What it feels like to be just existing without any worries of what others might say or do because it simply didn't matter. It didn't matter what they thought. It felt as though you found a safe space in a world which always made you suffer, finally you drowned and decided to forget life. Existence without hindrance of any sort itself was the most relaxing thing. To be. It was depressing. To know that the moment will be lost once again into the lost time. In the end, it defined everything of what truly is a moment.
"If I could just die right now, I would have no regrets." They both thought.
"You look happier." He said with a heartwarming smile.
"I am. You look happier too." She smiled back.
"I am."
"This moment is perfect. "
"Is that why you have slowed down time, Rin?"
"Yes. Any issues, Yun?"
"None. I'd prefer if it could be slower."
"Slower than this?"
"Yes, slower than this. At 0.25x."
Rin looked at him with, mildly surprised and felt a bit of respect for him. "Good choice."
Time went slower. The two looked at the world that surrounded them, a world unaware that time isn't flying. The moment in a common beings eyes has already passed. But it is passing right now and that's all that matters.
The sky was dark navy blue and purple, stars shining so brightly in the sky. Yun-suk held her hand and fell down alongside her, looking at the sky above. Beautiful. The epitome of a thing of beauty that Keats talks about when he says "a thing of beauty is a joy forever". Maybe this was it. This moment. Everlasting in my mind, never to be lost in time, always by my side. I wonder that if this is what it feels like to be dead...
They could see how Lady Shi slowly looked down at them from the window, shouting at them and they laughed as her mouth slowly opened and spoke terribly slowly and how her pupils slowly dilated and how her brows rose angrily. She looked like a monkey looking like that. Peak comedy if you ask me.
Finally, after 441 words, the moment ended and they both crash landed into the center of the stadium. Sorry for ruining the moment but this isn't demon slayer animation, or sarutobi and orochimaru in og naruto. They can't stay in air for so long, nor can they take up 4 episodes for it. We gotta be quick and see it all in real time.
Anyhow, people were quite shaken to see that two people literally just fell out of a room floating above the stadium and just "allahu-akbared" the stadium (No offense, just a joke). I mean honestly, the nerve of some people. The people in the stadium were quickly fast enough to dodge the bomb, except a few, maybe like 10 or so. So R.I.P to them, hahaha. Not funny, they actually died. Shame on you for laughing. Tch tch tch.
But yeah, they seemed pretty surprised otherwise. I mean people were cursing at them straight. Who wouldn't. But yeah, now they have to deal with the consequences of acting recklessly like hormone induced teenagers or drunk people...
