No one's POV

"Taehyung! Taehyung! Yah, Kim Taehyung, wake up!" Jisoo shook Taehyung who was fast asleep on her lap.

A few hours ago, they had agreed that they would take turn sleeping and this time, around 2a.m., is Taehyung's turn to sleep.

"Ugh, what? You've had your sleeping hours, Jisoo! I just slept half hour ago.." He groaned, rubbing his eyes.

"I have really good news and really bad news!" She exclaimed, pushing him to get up.

"What?"

"The good news?" She asked. "Land over there! You see those lights?"

Taehyung turned fully awake when he heard the word he's been wanting to hear for weeks. He broke out a huge smile that soon faded when he remembered Jisoo told him she has bad news, "w-what's the bad news?"

She let out a big sigh and looked up, "a storm's coming."

He perked his head upwards and saw a gigantic dark cloud hanging over their heads, ready to release it's waters anytime. "And i don't think it'll be that simple to get out of this one. It's a lot bigger than the one we faced last time."

Taehyung nodded in agreement, "we should make a bigger plan then."

Water started falling down the sky and the waves are starting to move them harder, "oh no." Jisoo mumbled. "I think you spoke too soon."

"Just stay calm, we'll be okay." He assured her, grabbing her hand. But in his eyes, she could clearly see doubt and worry.

"Taehyung-ah." She called, "it's okay if you don't know what to do."

"What do you mean?"

"We'll hold hands like this until the waves separate us. Once we do, don't think about me. Save yourself, arra?" She smiled, squeezing his hand.

"But you–"

"No, just don't think about me."

"I can't do that! I mean a life is put in my hand and i can't just 'not think about you'!" He frowned.

"Change your mindset! You were with me until we get separated. When we get separated, it's just you and yourself so you have your own life to save!"

"But what about you?!"

"I'll think of myself too!"

Taehyung bit his lip. Right now, he's starting to see and feel that she's a big part of his life. If this storm is what the 'big part' of his life meant, he's not ready to let it– or her end here.

"Hey, we have no time to lose!" Jisoo snapped her fingers, "think of this as my only demand for you. I just want you to do this one very simple thing. Don't worry about me and just save yourself if we get separated." She looked deep into his eyes that showed worry.

Taehyung noticed the big hope in her eyes and can't help but nodded, "are you going to be okay?"

She silently let down a tear which went unnoticed by Taehyung and nodded, "i'll be okay."

He pulled her into his tight embrace, "you promise?"

She didn't answer but she snuggled closer into his chest and hugging him back just as tight. Two seconds later, a huge wave threw their wood up to the sky and landed once more in the rough see. The wood broke, but their hug didn't.

They closed their eyes and hanging onto each other as their lives depend on this.

But then the fourth wave came, bigger than ever, making them had to forcefully let go of each other and fight for themselves.
