Lock

SeungHyun gripped onto the steering wheel so tight the shape of his fingers turned white. The light turned red, and he stepped on the brake, coming to a sudden stop. He brought his head to the head rest, and exhaled deeply. 

"Calm down, Choi SeungHyun..... It'll be alright.... Just go and talk to them, and it'll be over. Yes, that's right," he spoke, trying to remain cool. 

He closed his eyes, and the first thing that came to mind was his girlfriend. Her bright smile that was once lost. her round eyes that once lost its focus, her pink lips that once lost its warmth. And her ears that failed her. Those ears that gave up, blocking her from every sound. Even blocking her from SeungHyun's voice and his guitar. 

But it did not take away her whole. It almost did, when she was about to give up everything, including SeungHyun. She fought the darkness and won. Her smile came back, brighter than before, her round eyes sparkled again, more ambitious than ever, and her lips regained its fresh color. She found a way to "hear" things; She observed things so closely that she knew exactly what was going on.

A childish smile formed on SeungHyun's face. Just the thought of her made him so happy. He could forget everything else, and he could think that it was only him and SoRa in the world. No, SoRa was his world.

Just then, his phone rang. He opened his eyes and checked it, seeing that a new message arrived. He opened it, and as soon as he read it, his smile grew even more. 

"Oppa, don't think too much, you look scary when you do. Everything will be alright. Come home safely! SeungHyun Oppa fighting!" 

He chuckled, imagining SoRa typing this at home on her phone. Deleting things over and over again, until she thought of the exact words she wanted to say. 

"She even knows I'm thinking so deeply," SeungHyun said happily as he put his phone away. "That's right, I'll just go there, talk, and I'll go home," he told himself.

The light turned green, and he stepped on the accelerator. His car began moving forward with the other cars on the lanes next to his. A truck was speeding down the road from the left, nearing the cross-section. 

SeungHyun hummed a happy tune, his mind full of SoRa. All he wanted to do was just go home and see SoRa welcoming him with her warm smile.

He only saw the truck coming, when it was only a feet away, heading straight towards his car. He blinked, and he could see SoRa's smile at the back of his head. A large booming sound echoed through his ears, followed by the colliding sounds of metal and the rubber tires screeching against the pavement.

Everything was silent after that, leaving SeungHyun in darkness.
