君の名は「Your Name」

Chapter 8

Namjoon's POV

After that disappointing talk, not to mention nearly being sent to the hospital for taking the truth, with Jin's father, I made my way back to his house where I saw a group of kids making plans to meet up at the festival. "You shouldn't go! Get out of town. Tell your friends." I grabbed one of the kids and told him. "What are you saying?" The kid looked at me as if I was crazy. "Hyung!" "What was that?" "Let's go." The Kids quickly walked away from me. "What are you doing?" Jungkook asked me. "Could Seokjin... Could he have persuaded them? Is it my fault?" I mumbled. "Jungkook, leave town with Grandma before nightfall. You'll die if you stay here!" 

"What are you saying? Yesterday you suddenly went to Seoul. What's wrong with you?" "Seoul?" Seokjin went to Seoul? "Hey, Seokjin!" "How did it go with your old man?" Jimin and Yoongi asked. "Hey, Seokjin? What's wrong with him?" Yoongi asked Jungkook. "No idea." I heard what they were all saying but I was thinking of ways to keep them all safe. 'Maybe if I went to the main shrine... would I meet him?' I thought to myself as I stared at the direction where the shrine was. 

"Is something over there?" Jimin asked me, looking in the same direction I was staring. "Yoongi, Let me use your bike." I pushed him off the bike and paddled to the mountains as fast as I could. "Hey, what the... Hey, Seokjin! What about our plan?" "Get ready as planned! Please!"

'Namjoon. Namjoon

Don't you remember me?'

My legs were already becoming jelly but I couldn't stop, I needed to arrive to that place before it was too late. I tripped, nearly fell into a ditch, destroyed Yoongi's bike, ran up the hill thinking about the first time I had met him. That time 3 years ago, before I got to know you... That time 3 years ago, you came... to see me!

Seokjin's POV

I woke up to the feeling of cold water dripping on my face. I sat up and realized that I was at the main shrine? In Namjoon's body? "I'm Namjoon again! What's Namjoon doing here?" I walked out of the cave and up the mountain to see the most shocking sight. "The town... is gone." That's when I remembered, the comet, that night I was watching it and I remembered people yelling..."At that moment... did I... die?" I collapsed when I was forcefully reminded of the tragic event.  I remembered the day before that happened, I went to Seoul to meet Namjoon, get him ready for his date.

*Three Years Ago*

"I'm going to Seoul." I told Jungkook on our way back home. "What? Now? Why?" He asked. "A date." "You have a boyfriend in Seoul?" "Not my date. I'll come home tonight." I got on the train and got pulled into my train of thoughts running in my head. 'If I suddenly showed up, would I bother him? Surprise him? He might not like it.' I got off the Central Station and tried to call him but "The number you are trying to call is not reachable..." 'There's no way we could meet. But what if we did? What should I do? Would I annoy him? Would it be awkward? He'd be a bit glad to see me?' I tried calling him again when I reached the meeting spot. "The number you are trying to call is not reachable..."

There's no way we could meet. But...one thing is certain. If we see each other, we'll know. That you were the one who was inside me. That I was the one who was inside you. "I'm sorry. Excuse me." I apologized to the people who I bumped into on my way back. I sat down on the bench as I waited for the train. After a few minutes, it arrived with someone who I had been waiting to meet. I stood up and tried to catch up with the train to get on it, and talk to him. I got on and moved to where he was and stood in front of him.  

"Namjoon. Namjoon." I said quietly, trying not to disturb the other passengers. "Namjoon. Um... It's me." I said when he finally heard me calling his name. "Don't you remember me?" "Who are you?" He asked. "I'm sorry." He doesn't remember me but he's Namjoon.  When the train arrived to the next station, I was about to get off when Namjoon finally spoke to me. "Hey! What's your name?" I wanted to stay on the train longer but I was pushed off by the other people. "Seokjin! My name is Seokjin!" I managed to tell him and threw him the bracelet I had weaved. 

*End of Flashback*

I stood up, having this strange feeling that Namjoon... Namjoon was near. "Seokjin!" "Namjoon?" "Seokjin!" I heard him for sure. He was here, I could feel him, but I couldn't see him. "You're here, aren't you? Inside my body!" "Namjoon! Namjoon, where are you?" "It's Seokjin. I can hear him, but..." "Namjoon, where are you? Namjoon!" I ran to the direction where I could hear his voice, and that's when I heard it, the sound of a bell. I stopped and looked back. "Namjoon, are you... there?" I stretched out my hand to feel, if he was really there but... 

The sky suddenly became dark and I turned to look at the sky. "It's twilight " "It's twilight " I said but I wasn't the only one who said that. I turned to where the voice came and he was there.. in front of me.. "Seokjin." "Namjoon. Namjoon. It's really you. Namjoon!" I cried and held him.
