She was falling. Until all of a sudden, the rope stopped. It stopped falling. It was still. She was still.

Her breath was rapid and she could barely keep it quiet. Frantically, she tightened her grip until her hands felt numb, and found her way into the wall again. Her hands shook uncontrollably as she began walking up the wall once again. One by one, her feet took her further up the wall, until she was finally at the 4th floor. Chaeryeong's window was right in front of her. Squinting in the darkness, she finally saw the elder, who was clenching the rope tightly in her delicate hands. 'Yuna.' She whispered, her voice shaking as if she had just been panicking. That was when Yuna realised that it was her that had been desperately scrambling to stop the rope from falling.

'Chaer...' The younger's eyes glistened, she was trying hard to hold back her tears. It had been so long since they'd seen each other. The only thing they'd been clinging onto was texts and calls. All this time, the three weeks that had passed, Yuna had wanted to believe that the calls were enough... that she could survive without seeing her girlfriend in person. But seeing her, seeing Chaeryeong standing there, gazing at her as if she was the one thing keeping her alive, she knew she couldn't keep on going like this. She couldn't go another day without being with her. Not even one.

Hastily, the elder took the younger's hand and helped her out of the window. Feeling her soft touch, Yuna knew that this was it. This was all she ever needed. All she's been longing for.

Once she'd climbed into the bedroom, the younger was finally faced with her girlfriend. After all those days, weeks, she could finally look at her in person. She found herself getting lost in her dark brown eyes. But she let herself, because maybe that way she'd forget about the extreme risk she was taking just by being there.
