“I’m sorry.” Seungyoon slowly pulled back, Jinwoo’s lips are now a shade of red and his eyes on him are dark and inscrutable.

A long silence passes between them, somewhere not so distant the waves roll in.

It’s almost as if the two of them are halfway out the sea, alone on a dinghy without its oars, the waves growing more tumultuous around them.

“I still want you.” Seungyoon was the first to speak between them, “But not like this.”

Jinwoo’s lips stretch into a smile for some reason but he doesn’t feel happy and his vision is becoming hazy.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

I haven’t written anything in a long time and even putting down the first word and completing the first sentence of this story was a challenge. I paused so many times to ask myself, ‘how do I write this?’ or ‘will readers understand what I’m trying to convey?’. Anyhow, it was a strange feeling that I can’t describe but having started once again made me realize that I actually love writing more than I ever acknowledged.

So, this is a new beginning for me. I finished this story with over 27K words but kept switching things around and did a lot of deleting bringing it down to almost 19K. Was not expecting that at all because I went into this thinking I’d be lucky if I can even manage to write between 3K-5K.

I was going to write a story for the prompt that featured time traveling but as I got closer to the actual writing process, I just went with something simple and let the story and my characters take me where they needed to go. I think that out of all the stories I’ve ever written, this one made me struggle the most because once I decided that I was gonna write, everything just came rushing out. At times, I sat there lost in thought and overwhelmed but there were also times when I got stuck and couldn’t decide which direction to take.

I’m really glad I decided to join this Fic Ex and I am very fortunate that the person I’m writing this for told me to just write whatever I want. It’s really that push that got me writing so much again after such a long time. We meet people for a reason and I think I met the person who submitted this prompt so that I can have the courage and the reason to start again.

Life doesn't slow down and time runs out much faster than we think. Hearts break and bones become fragile. With every atom in your body, live right now. You will be okay no matter how things work out.
