"The world is ending in 7 days and I'm going to die beside the most dysfunctional idiot that has ever graced the face of this Earth."
A smile tugs the corners of Taehyung's lips and she can see her own reflection in his eyes, glittering with the bri...
"Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dream of Once in a lullaby"
"Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebird still fly And the dreams that you dream of Dreams really do come true"
THE FIRST THING she notices is the sky.
It's like splashing an entire bucket of black and red onto an already perfect canvas of blue and cotton white.
She has always loved watching the sun set and rise. But this, this is monstrous, ghastly. Filled with foul grotesque compared to what was once bright and beautiful.
And like a dragon emerging from the clouds, a huge ball of fire penetrates through the Earth's atmosphere, fast falling down towards the surface like a ticking bomb about to blow.
The second it kisses the ground, its erupt into destruction. The smoke and fire spreads for miles, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands, maybe hundred thousands or millions.
She squeezes her eyes shut upon instinct. But the inability to see only proves to enhance her ability to listen. It's like listening to crashes of lightning, fireworks, an active volcano and the scraping of knives all at once. But amplified a hundred times more.
She forces herself to open her eyes as anorher loud explosions causes her shoulders to jump in fright. Throwing her hands over her ears, she watches in dismay as the ugly sky rains more and more balls of flames.

Her hands search the ground around her blindly, ignoring the ashes and the dust getting thrown around.
She searches and searches, but doesn't find.
A tear slips down her cheek. It falls to the ground and evaporates into air, but fire flickers from where it struck. It grows and spreads out all around her until there's nothing else she can see but red, red, red.
A searing pain rips through her body and it feels like she's being pulled apart into pieces.
The pain is unbearable, building, building, building—
And then she screams. And the whole world screams along with her.
