"It's odd that your boy didn't force me to go, you know." The man said as he holds Jaki's hand and rested it on his lap. Jaki hummed as a response and placed her head on the man's shoulder as she sighed contentedly.

Just then, the man felt a pang in his head as he massaged it with his free hand.

"Are you okay?" Jaki asked worriedly as she examined the man's face, her left hand cupping the man's right cheek.

The man nodded in response as he hisses in pain.

"How long have you been..." Jaki's eyes widen as she stares at the clock, it's a weird clock for it didn't stop when the man stopped the time. He had been stopping the time for over the last 4 hours and he is coming into his limits.

"You should resume the time now." Jaki said, sadness was evident in her voice.

"Butㅡ" The man's words was cut off as his head began aching again. Jaki smiled at him before nodding as she lets go of his hand and steps away from him. Soon after, Jaki checked her phone only to see the time moving again.

"I'm sorry I can't stop time for eternity." The man said as disappointment covers his words.
