❝If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?❞
"The mind," they both said at the same time. Jaemin gestured at Yumi to explain her reasoning for her choice.
"It's useless to be a healthy middle-aged person if you can't actually do anything a thirty-year-old would do," she said. "I mean, if you had the frail body of a ninety-year-old, but your mind is still sharp, then you could get someone else to do what you need to, wouldn't you? Plus, if you were a thirty-year-old with such a mind, then it wouldn't take long to become completely bedridden."
"I like your reasoning," Jaemin nodded. "And I agree with it. This one reminds me of my grandfather. He was old when he died and he wasn't exactly in his right mind before that, but he had a sharp mind before the sickness took him completely."
"I hope I do, too," Yumi commented. "It would be funny to see people underestimate me because I'm old and weak but then get surprised and apologize when they realize that I am still as sharp as I was in my adulthood."
"That does sound pretty funny," Jaemin started to laugh. He stepped back from the wall. "That's the first coat done. Let's keep going while it dries."
