Did he really just say that? He said that out so smoothly in one go, like it doesn't bother him.

He really wants to die. Like me.

Me - I guess, it can't hurt.

Jungkook - Great!

He smiles and nods.

Looking forward we take a step towards the edge. But.....there's always a but right?

God you're weird. What do you want? Anyways, back to it.

Guard - Hey! Who's there?!
Me - *beep*!
Jungkook - How do you curse like that so openly?
Me - Really? You care about my cursing right now?
Jungkook - That is-
Guard - Who is there?

Sounds of keys are heard.

Jungkook - Are we going to stand like this?
Me - Shhhhh! Keep your voice down you idiot.
Jungkook - But....

I slam my hand on his mouth and drag both of us to the small trees. The guard opens the gate and starts looking here and there with his torch. Suddenly Jungkook chuckles.

Me - What the hell is funny?
Jungkook - You're scared of guards? So there is something that can scare you.
Me - Shut it.
Jungkook - *supressed chuckling noises*.

I rub my temples and sigh in despair. Once I see the guard going towards the other side, I take the chance.

Me - Listen, we run now. And we do not stop until I say so, you get it?

Jungkook just stares at me with a somewhat smile on his face. Why is he looking like that? Did he even hear what I said?

Me - Hello?

He nods. I take a deep breath and nod back.

Me - Now.

We start running, of course the guard hears out footsteps and start following us, screaming and pointing the light on us.

Me - Faster faster! You run like a snail!
Jungkook - What did you say?
Me - What else!
Jungkook - Fine!

He speeds up, leaving me far behind.

Jungkook - Who's the snail now?
Me - You're too fast!
Jungkook - Wooooh!
Me - Wait up! I can't run so fast!
Jungkook - *laughing loudly* You're too slow!
Me - Jungkook!

He slows down a little and extends his hand while running.

Jungkook - Grab it snail!
Me - You!
Jungkook - I can't leave you behind, we're dying together remember? So it's better if you grab it.

And just like that, our hands connect. He leads the way, not like we know where we are going, we just keep running. To be honest, I'm enjoying this so much. I am going faster than before, I never thought I can run so fast.

We stopped hearing the guard a while ago. But we are still running, unable to stop, laughing like two crazy kids. At one point Jungkook trips and we both fall down, a little away from each other.

Me - Wahahahahaha!
Jungkook - *dying from laughing*
Me - Oh...my...ahahahaha! This was so fun.
Jungkook - Poor guard. *laughing*

Eventually, we sit up, still panting and laughing. But that moment is quickly ruined.

Jungkook - You're scared of guards?

I throw a pebble at him.

Jungkook - Ow!
Me - I am not.
Jungkook - You could've just said so! Why throw something?
Me - You teased me.

He sighs and looks at me, with a rather calm expression.

Jungkook - If you're not afraid, why did you suggest to run?
Me - Because.....I came here to die, not to get into jail. We were there when it was closed. If he caught us, he would've sent us to police station.
Jungkook - Hmmmmm. Fair enough. I wouldn't want to go to jail either.
Me - So the cliff is a fail.
Jungkook - I think so too.
Me - Gotta think of a new way.
