A single heartbeat.
That’s all that life is, really.
Everything you’ve ever come into contact with has its own heartbeat that beats for its own intents and purposes, without caring about anything else going on around it because a heartbeat only has one purpose and that is to live.

Characters:
Xiao Luhan
Year: 12
"Anyone can love a rose, but it takes a lot to love a leaf. It's ordinary to love the beautiful, but it's beautiful to love the ordinary."
Oh Sehun
Year: 10
"Right now I don't really know what living is, but I think that's sort of the point, right? You find out as you go. Each heartbeat has its own meaning that hints at what life is little by little, which leads me to think that it’s your job to find out what each heartbeat is trying to say so that you can put every word together and eventually find out what everything means."
Do Kyungsoo
Year: 11
"You guys are actually so stupid it's probably dangerous. Please be careful."
Kim Jongin
Year: 10
"So, I have this thing. A sort of.. intuition, I guess. I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach that climbs up through my chest and makes itself known on my cheeks and lifts me off the ground until I get to that cloud that everybody's always talking about, and then I can do anything. I'll let you in on a little secret, though: everyone has it. It's called love."
Park Chanyeol
Year: 11
"Dear future me. Don't do anything even close to half of the things I've done so far. Actually, make that 75%. Or maybe 100%. Yeah, just don't be anything like how I am now, okay? Thanks."
Byun Baekhyun
Year: 11
"Just.. forget about me, I guess? I don't know, everyone else does. It just kind of makes sense at this point. You wouldn't want to screw up the space-time continuum, would you? There would be no such thing as food. I swear, it would be terrible. Forget about me, okay? For the food."
Kim Jongdae
Year: 11
"I have to make up for my rather non-committal features somehow. It just so happens that, for me, it's by being obnoxious. Sorry."
Kim Minseok
Year: 12
"Someone is going to say no to you in your lifetime. It's literally impossible to avoid. The only thing that matter is how you react to it; whether or not you can accept it, what your Plan B might be. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't need a Plan B. I have a Plan A."
Zhang Yixing
Year: 11
"My secret? I don't know. I guess I just remind myself that everything I say can change something, and that I'm the only one who can control whether it's for better or for worse. That shouldn't be a secret, though."
Kim Joonmyun
Year: 12
"I'm really not as certain about everything as everyone thinks I am. How can anyone be certain about anything with the way the world works? It's impossible."
Huang Zitao
Year: 10
"No, this is not the first time I have seen the sun. Just because some of us like video games more than people doesn't mean that we never have to get groceries and new clothes and other essential survival necessities, for christ's sake."
Yi Wufan
Year: 12
"You don't 'think' everything. You know everything, until someone proves you otherwise. It doesn't matter that sometimes that someone might be you."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Because, as long as the heart beats on, living is the only thing it can do.
