Jisung took Minho by the wrist, dragging him closer towards the edge of the bridge. Both of them looked down at the rushing water below. No one would be able to survive the rough and cold waters. Jisung looked at Minho again as Minho slowly turned to look at him. Minho's face was in a poker position, straight and stern. Jisung went closer to Minho, aiming for his ear. Minho shivered at the sudden heat from Jisung's body though his head was frozen beside his ear. "Here's my request and you must follow it without question," Jisung whispered into his ear as Minho nodded slightly, "Good. I want you, my love, to jump off the bridge and await me to save you." Jisung backed away from a wide-eyed Minho. He could feel a small smile at the corner of his lips seeing Minho's state. Minho was absolutely dazed. It seems to be quite the offer for forgiveness, but Minho desperately needed that forgiveness. To be honest, he would rather die without Jisung giving him the excuse, even if Jisung wouldn't love him anymore.

  Minho backs away from Jisung and turns towards the safety bars of the bridge and places his hands on them. He leans forward, feeling the icy wind flushing his face. The sound of the water screamed in Minho's ears like lost souls in hell. The screams made Minho jump back, frightened by the decision he had made.

"Sungie,"Minho said stepping backwards to face Jisung who was tapping his foot on the ground and biting his nails, "surely there is another wa-"

"I said to not ask questions and do the job!" yelled Jisung impatiently. Minho flinched at Jisung's fury. His whole body felt uneasy and his blood ran cold through his veins. He stared at Jisung, who was twirling around on the spot, biting his nails while kicking the ground. Minho knew Jisung's impatient habits. But, he still doubts the deed he is to fulfill. He grabs the rails tightly this time as he looks forward into the river. Minho heaved a great breath and exhaled heavily. He gave himself a slight push and before he knew it, his body was falling in slow mode, further and further into the icy waters. His last thought before plunging into the river, was a happy Jisung, running towards his arms, but never making it.
