Young Forever

Second Ray

        Cough.
        Bright. Too bright.
        He squinted up at the sun.
        Slowly, he managed to get up.
        No pain.
        None at all.
        He used the fence on the side to pull himself up.
        Wait...
        Fence?
        Where was he?
        He touched his side, but nothing happened. Didn't throb, didn't hurt.
        No pain.
        He walked forward, then stepped on something.
        A shard of glass.
        He reached down and picked it up.
        Glass...from the car...
        Did he hurt someone else?
        The word suddenly sprang in his head.
        MAZE.
        A flutter of panic stirred in his chest. Why was he here? Who brought him here? Who healed him?
        Was he even alive?
        The panic grew into a flood of fear, and he began to run.
        Down stretches, around corners, smack into dead ends...
        But he came back to where he was before.
        He looked at the piece of glass again, then dropped it. He was going to find his way out. He was going to let go of what happened.
        He tried again...
        And made it.
        He saw an old road with one person on it. There was something in large white letters written on the road.
        He ran down to the end of the maze, of his past life.
        The person turned around, and instead of a pang of guilt, Jungkook felt...relieved.
        Jin held out his hand to him. "Come on."
        And Jungkook placed his hand in Jin's.
        "Forever, we are young."
