The heart never forgets. It's just that... sometimes there has to be sad endings for the spark of better beginnings.

The stairs to the second and the actual Suspension Bridge, also known as Cloud Bridge are no joke, I realize belatedly at the half midst of an hour of climbing. Absolute madness!

- Jungkook-ah! -I call, feeling the knuckles of my knees grow weaker. He is already close to the top, a bunny grin when he turns to look down at me. I pucker my lips and make grabby hands in complete lethargically. -Come get me!
He stands there and signs me to come up energetically, making little dances with his arms to express how awesome the view looks from up there. I can't help but take a moment to appreciate his goofiness, how absolutely adorable he is, and how lucky I am to be here with him.
It's like the clock is ticking faster when I remember the confession that's eating my mind, and suddenly I want to jump off all the stairs and get to him like we were never apart to begin with. The feeling is the same when I used to drink in my balcony all alone, when I looked at the stars and his image crossed my eyes and I missed him so much that I felt like dipping my hands into my dreams, pulling him out and hugging him real tight.
Speaking of tight, that's how my chest feels like right now...
They say that when it gets too cold at high altitudes, the body has an opposite reaction, wrongly informing the cells about the temperature, and the person finds themselves sweating, wanting to rip off their clothes. Eventually they die of cold. The condition might be a similar reason as to why I feel suffocated by the heat of my clothes, but it's more likely that the anxiety is the culprit of my heart-stuttering reaction.
I gulp and look down, listening to my pacy breaths against the plains.

It's so high up here...
- Hyung!
I look back up to see Jungkook signing me to continue. I watch him in a little blur cloud behind the fog of my breaths, too nervous for my own good to be alone here.
- Come on!
I smile.
Let's go up there.
Step by step, I'm able to make it, finding Jungkook at the edge of the sightseeing point when I get to the top, taking pictures and watching the panorama with an uncontainable happiness. I jog up to him and swing my arms around his neck, hugging him from the side and causing him to keep the camera to focus on me.
