APOCALYPTIC DATING SIM
"we’ll never be lovers // but every time a bell rings // bicycle/door/alarm // i turn to look for you"
Prose
LOOK BACK
The first time Benny's world ended was when Nikko stopped being his best friend. The second? When Nikko dies eight years later and Benny has no idea how, or what to do with the guilt he has left over. Using his conditional immortality— a power granted to Benny when Death spared him all those years back, a power he swore never to use again —Benny ventures into the In-Between to find Nikko and bring him back to the living before his soul drifts away forever.

"What do you think you’ll wear when you die?"
tell me that you're still mine
"And instead of this ending in fire as Jisung once thought, all that erupted from those two words was his breath from his lungs like bloom from a bud two seasons late."
