Another day of panic. Another day of fear. Another day trying to save everyone around me. This power was obviously not helping me. Everything keeps shifting. From three years, to two minutes. To one second. Life is like sand. No matter how much I take into my hands, the grains slip away as quickly. Life slips away quickly. I wasn't afraid of it though. I wasn't, until I met him. Didn't take long to worry about everything I do. How my clock can turn around. How his clock can turn around.

It's all I can think about to be honest. Of course I care about the other five, but he has something special. I want him to stay with me. Forever. I can't let the other boys know about my power. I don't know what they will think. They will be worried about me, that's for sure. i cannot let them know at any cost.

I slid out of my bed and sat on the edge, going over the events that are going to take place in the week. We have a dance practice today and tomorrow we have a photo-shoot. Something strikes me and I get up and walk in front of the mirror in a swift movement.

The letters and numbers hovered over my head in a subtle grey color.

I sighed in relief. I remembered the time I looked into the mirror and saw

3:22:13

I shuddered at the feeling of knowing the time you are going to die. Knowing but not being able to do anything about it. I was relieved when it changed in a few minutes. I still don't know what it was that was going to kill me, but I do remember being near a car crash.

I have a reason to live, which is my weakness. This power is my weakness. I am afraid of death. I am afraid of leaving. I love my life now it cannot be better.

I walk outside my room to be greeted by a happy Jungkook hopping up to me.

"Good Morning!" he exclaimed, planting a kiss on my cheek, "I kept your food on the table," he continued, pointing at the table in the main room. We walked over together and sat on the sofa. I took a chance to glance at his clock.

I sighed in relief and smiled at my adorable boyfriend. This is everyday of my life. Looking at my clock and then his. He had a small smile on his face as he handed me a plate of toast.

"Did you sleep alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, did you?" I replied, poking his cheek.

"Yeah, I am just a little tired..."

"Why?"

"I'm kinda nervous, today is the last practice..."

"You will be fine, you dance great."

He smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

The only reason I want to live.

Taehyung walks into the room and gives us a small smile before saying, "We need to leave in a few minutes, get ready."

Jungkook and I nod and get off the sofa at the same time.

Well, the practice was amazing.

The best part? The break after.

I sat down next to Jungkook, who had his head hanging over the back of the sofa. His eyes were closed and he seemed to be resting. I reached over and kissed his cheek before resting my head on his shoulder. I could hear his breathing and it calmed me.
