Beauty «Do Kyungsoo»

I

Today it's been two weeks since we've began this journey, exploring the lands we've only dreamed of exploring.

Each stop of this trip, you mentioned the topic of beauty. I've been left speechless, your sudden concern for such a thing leading me to wonder, 'What is this experience really about?'

My responses have grown from my first, my feedback leaving you satisfied much more than the last.

Although today was far from beautiful.

My shield created from the invisible force within me was nearly cracked as I thought I had lost you. The idea of never trapping you in my embrace once more drowning me in worries. My breathing becoming visibly critical as I tore through the sea of unfamiliar faces. Unfamiliar buildings. Unfamiliar signs. This globe transforming into an underworld of my worst fears before me.

Until your vibrant being appeared within my peripheral vision tearing me apart from the tide covering me in darkness.

I rushed to hold you in my arms, a breath of relief escaping through my lips along with my worries.

"I'm so sorry", my dialect rushed out faster than my feet did to reach you. "I nearly broke my promise to you, and for that I am truly sorry."

"You didn't," your response. Confusion flowed through my body, still gripping onto you for dear life. "You searched for me. Your features show worry. Your body speaks a language of near insanity. You almost lost yourself while searching for me. This act of selflessness is something that I find beautiful."

I think I'm finally beginning to understand why you brought me along this voyage.
