"Let's go in one shot. It's better that way isn't it? It would be fun." I stated as I shook his hand.
"What do you mean fun!?" Seonho gasped in shock. If only I could see his shocked face...
"Yeah, fun." I responded as I rolled my blind eyes. "But how come you tolerated it when we went to Namsam Tower? We took a cable car to go there, right?"
"Yes, but the cable was very stable and had four walls to protect us, meanwhile this is just a simple seat with NO seatbelts on!" Seonho argued. "Plus, the view looks hella scary from here. It feels like I could fall down any moment."
"It seems fine to me."
"What do you mean fine? It looks so---" Then there was a momentary silence. Then it was followed by a soft laughter. "You got me on that one, Sohyun."
I chuckled. Well I guess that could've lightened up his mood a bit. I can totally feel him trembling from his hands.
"But..." I started. "Is it really that scary? You know, the mountaintop view."
"....It is, for me." He answered after a few seconds of silence. "But..."
"But...?"
"It is beautiful." He continued, "Just like how the verdant tall trees coexist and blend with each other, how the clouds parted to reveal the magnificent rays of the sun, and how the city plains stood in great brillance miles away below the mountain. It truly is a wonderful sight."
"A wonderful sight?" I said as I lowered my head. "I wonder what it looks like..."
"Sohyun..." Seonho breathed, "I'm pretty sure that you'll experience that sight in the---"
His sentence was cut off when he suddenly coughed. But it didn't stop there, he coughed a few times more, and it immediately made me worried sick.
"Seonho? Are you alright?" I asked as I was about to let go of my hand from clutch and pat his back, but he kept his grip and squeezed my hand gently.
"I'm f-fine." But after these words left his mouth, another series of cough started.
"Yoo Seonho!" My other hand immediately gently patted his shoulder as he crouched down coughing, and it continued for a few seconds.
"I'm f-fine now. My throat just suddenly felt dry." Seonho breathed as he stood up straight and patted my back, I waited for him to say another word but silence just followed.
But the cough sounded so severe.
"Come on, let's go skiing." He suddenly pulled my hand. I immediately felt my ski slide forward and slowly going downward.
"Seonho! I thought you didn't know how to ski!!?" I panicked, what if we fall and end up rolling unto the base of the slope? That would be pretty tragic. And that would hurt. "What if we fall?"
"Yeah, I don't." He answered. "But I reckon that it's better to experience it first time and figure it out by ourselves right? Even so, it's better to spend that first time with you."
I can slowly feel myself tilting downwards, and I automatically balanced myself. "Uh, Seonho..."
I felt him grip my hands tighter, but not the rough type. It was the kind of grip that was gentle and comforting, and it somehow calmed my heart down a bit. Just a bit.
"Don't worry. If you fall, I'll be there to catch you." And with that, we plummeted downwards and I held tightly unto my ski pole and to Seonho's hand, heart beating rapidly and breath almost lost as I felt gravity pulling me down.
