Not inspired by a video clip but rather an IG post: you're a time traveler and you travel through different eras to find your soulmate.

 

===========================

 

A blinding flash erupts in the air and an explosion blasts Soojin straight off her feet.

 

“Ahhh!!!!!” she screams as she sails through the air before crashing into a tree.

 

She hits her head, hard, before falling to the ground. Right before her eyes close, she makes out a pair of leather boots striding into view.

“Um, miss? Hello? Are you all right?” a garbled voice filters into Soojin’s ear.

 

She blearily blinks and the world appears fractured—no wait, that’s just her broken glasses. Someone heaves a loud sigh and she feels tentative hands gently lift her into a sitting position. Her glasses slide off the bridge of her nose and without them, the world shifts back into one piece, revealing a disheveled girl with very long hair looking at her with concern etched into her face.

Soojin frowns, trying to make sense of the strange girl’s words. The girl must have noticed her confusion because the smile slips off her face.

 

“Er, I guess, um, well you see, oh wait! You’re bleeding! Here, I have something for that!”

Chapter 13: suddenly i feel like im reading something intensely private. they really bared themselves wonderfully in these two letters and i thank you for the personability i have felt in reading them, as it only emphasizes that indeed, the existence of words we use to describe emotions only means that these are feelings beyond physicalities and that is simply a wonder. <3
