"Where is it?" Jeon asks standing next to the roaring river.

I don't answer. Instead, I step out closer to the ledge, one foot hovering just above the water. It'd be soo easy to just... fall into the angry waters. I lean my weight forwards, slowly falling.

"Shit, don't commit suicide!" Jeon screams, running towards me to get me away from the edge of the water. He tries to shove me aside, but I grab his hand last minutely and pull him down into the river with me. Everyone knows that this river connects to the waterfall. But not everyone knows how to get out of a waterfall.

I quickly grab onto a rock to the side of the water, hoping Jeon's already floating away. To my dismay, he's grabbing onto the same rock I am. I sweep my wet hair away from my face and glare at Jeon. He was supposed to fall down the waterfall!

I haul myself up onto the safe side of the river, expecting Jeon to follow suit, but he doesn't. He only clings onto the rock, not being able to come up. He looks so pitiful... and almost afraid. I sigh. You've got to be kidding me. Yoon Yura, don't do it!

But I do it. I help the enemy. He looked so innocent and vulnerable that I just had to help him... I held out my hand and Jeon clings onto it, still looking as if he's about to pee his pants. I swear, my intentions had been to kill him, but now I was helping him. UnBeLiEvAbLe. (A/N: UnbeliBUBBLE bahhahaha)

Jeon shivers as I pull him safely onto the grass. For once, he looks like an actual nineteen-year-old. I wring out the water in my hair and sigh. Now I'm probably in bigger trouble since my plan didn't work...

But I ignore all my problems and stare at the beautiful sight ahead of me. It brings back the good memories. Yoongi and I used to always come here together as friends... We'd always stare at the vivid green grass and the beautiful colors of the little creatures here. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a bright blue butterfly flying around. The colors of everything is so beautiful.

I gasp in shock when it lands on Jeon's hand. He doesn't even flinch. Instead, he just shakes his hand, making the butterfly land on my hand. Its beautiful colors cause me to stare at the insect fondly. If only Jeon could see how gorgeous colors were...

"What's it like?" Jeon asks suddenly, breaking me from my thoughts. I look towards him, questioningly. Jeon continues, "What's it like to see things that the world banned?"

I almost scoff. "It feels amazing," I answer. "The best feeling in the world."
