Love me all the way to death.
They stare at each other, both broken in their own ways, but unable to say it.
It's funny. They want the same thing, but there's something about life that prevents them from getting it. The happy, in-love couple from before? They're still there. Life's a game, like Pacman. All they have to do is win before they run out of quarters.
Jae swallows, closing his eyes. What he wouldn't do to go back to that day in the winter. Racing each other, with no thoughts about anything but them. If only that memory could be the thing they play over and over, not the arguments.

Let me be your light, like you're mine.
