    Every once in a while, Jin would flinch in fright every time the thunder boomed after lightning struck over the rainy evening skies. It was half past eleven, an hour before midnight, when suddenly all the lights flickered and went out.

    There was a blackout.

    Jin wanted to cry right then and there, afraid of circumstances such as this. The emergency lights he had kept were downstairs at the storage room, and these days he had had a hard time walking around the house due to his swollen feet. Even his phone was left atop the dining table below.

    Was he always this unlucky?

    Heavens, he needed Taehyung here.

    But Jin knew he had to go through another night without him.

    Feeling his way through the darkness with some lightning here and there, he slowly trudged downstairs, his hands and eyes scrambling into the void as he hissed due to the pain, enduring it so long as he could fetch his phone and an emergency light.

    But God forbid, he was indeed unlucky.

    Thirty minutes later, the lights turned back on.

    The silence was defeaning.
