Grace Xiu

"it'd be great if we could be together again"

I read the note to myself.

I cocked my head, trying to think of who could be the one behind this note.

*ding*

"Time's up, Grace Xiu." A very deep voice said.

Confused, I looked up.

There stood Seokjin Kim and Jimin Park.

They were both dressed in fancy suits, their hair was nicely styled, their faces were bright, and they were holding different colored flowers.

The flowers were glowing.

I stood up and almost tumbled to the ground.

I looked down and saw I had white heels on. I also had a white dress on me.

Suddenly, my perspective changed and I was now watching myself from a different view.

It was like a movie.

I saw myself.

Dressed in white.

I saw myself looking at the 2 men.

I looked conflicted. I looked pressured.

Then, Jimin moved.

He dropped his arms, dropped the flowers, and his frown showed.

My perspective changed again and my view was focused on him.

He was standing straight and staring at me.

I'm not in 3rd person anymore. I'm here. Jimin is looking straight at me and me only.

I think.

"It's ok. You can choose Seokjin. He makes you happy." He said.

His voice was pure and it echoed in my ears.

I tried to respond, but it was like I wasn't really there with him.

But it looked so real.

Why couldn't I talk?

I felt myself nod. It was like I was watching a video and the camera nodded.

Not me.

Like a VR gaming system.

"I'm happy." He pressed his lips together in a tight smile.

What?

I turned to my left.

Seokjin stood there with the biggest smile on his face. He walked towards me and grabbed my hand.

My smile grew wide too and my heart was warm at the sight of his.

Suddenly, everything was darkened.

Seokjin was pushed by back nothing and I was forced to turn to where Jimin was.

He wasn't there anymore.

My heart accelerated and I felt the real feeling of fear.

What happened to him?

What happened to everything?

Then, I started falling.

My perspective changed again and I was watching myself fall.

And I see myself falling into water.

I felt the water, but I was watching myself floating around.

My figure starts to stand up straight, as if on land (the water was gone, but I was Sri dripping wet), and Jimin appears in front me.

A blue glow pops up in my figure.

I watched Jimin. Closely.

He didn't look bright anymore.

His face didn't glow anymore.

He wasn't wearing a suit anymore.

He wasn't holding flowers anymore.

But his smile was exactly the same as before.

"Are you ok?" My figure asked him.

Our voices sounded so real, but so majestic. There was a slight echo, but everything sounded...real.

"I'm happy." He nodded.

I felt my heart churn.

"Feel my heart." Jimin said, almost begging.

Suddenly, a blue glow was shining in Jimin's chest. Just like mine.

My figure reached a hand out and tried to touch him.

But the hand moved around like there was nothing to touch.

"I can't feel you." I said.

I felt the real feeling of sadness.

Disappointment.

"You can feel mine." Someone said.

I saw Seokjin come from behind my figure, but I felt the turn when I watched myself turn around.

Seokjin's heart was red. A deep red.

I reached out to feel his and I did.

Then, my glow turned red.

I was warm.

I was dry.

I wasn't wet anymore.

Jimin, still dripping, frowned.

His smile gone.

My heart ached and I felt tears coming out of my eyes.

My figure started to hold hands with Seokjin.

Jimin's heart turned a darker blue and he started to look even more........"wet".

"I love you, Seokjin." My figure said to him.

"I love you too, Grace." Seokjin says back.

And they/we kissed.

Then, we glowed.

Everything around us, including Jimin, was a blue.

But we glowed white.

Our red glowed perfectly in both of our chests.

Jimin's blue glow gets pushed back like a flame when wind blows.

My tear drops from "my face".

Then it shows up above Jimin.

"Don't." I tried to say.

Of course it won't work.

I'm not there.

The tear drop falls in slow motion.

Right on top of Jimin.

He gets completely soaked and his blue glow grows.

Seokjin and my figure both turn to the soaked Jimin.

Jimin....

Smiled.

Exactly the way he did.

Before.

"Are you ok?" Seokjin and I both asked him.

"I'm happy." He said.

Right after Jimin responded, everything looked like it was going back.

Rewind.

My figure disappeared and so did Seokjin's and Jimin's.

I was still just....watching.

The atmosphere wasn't cold and dark anymore.

It was bright, happy, childish.

I saw my figure again.

I had a purple glow.

Then Jimin comes in with a green glow.

I was minding my own business, but Jimin, on the other hand, was picking out colors.

Like in a shop.

In a library.

When Jimin saw me...his glow switched to purple.

Like mine.

Our figures were suddenly brought to each other like a force was driving it to happen.

I watched and watched and I felt a frown on my face.

Jimin looked so innocent.

Not the way he is now.

I looked innocent too.

The way I was before.

There was a fast forward of us being together.

I cried.

Tears were dropping, but our figures were dodging them like they weren't even there.

Then, my figure skips away, leaving Jimin by himself with his own purple glow.

All of a sudden, suspenseful music started playing in the background.

My view was much closer to Jimin now.

It was like a moving picture.

He didn't look as real now.

It was like he was a drawing.

An animation.

I watched him closely, my heart pumping at the music.

Jimin was moving like he was walking down a street and I watched like I was in front of him.

In the corner, there were different colored glows.

Jimin eyed them with slight fear.

He continued walking until he suddenly stops.

The music stopped too.

Everything stopped.

He was now staring at me.

Straight at me.

I held my breath.

"Can you see the fear?" He asked, voice echoing.

His glow was shaking out of control.

Like, it was about to explode.

Like....there was too much.

I couldn't move or speak.

But I wanted to say "yes".

I was feeling scared myself.

The glow looked dangerous now.

"It's too much." He shivered.

The music started playing again. Even louder and to its climax.

Jimin ran towards me, almost like he was about to run me over.

My view was changed and I was back to just watching.

Jimin's little figure comes running in.

Other figures with no faces, no nothing, were in the scene too.

They were nothing, but they had a glow in them too.

They were a different color too.

Some yellow, some brown, some pink, some white, some black.

The other figures were bouncing around, as if they were dancing.

It looked like a party.

Jimin runs to a figure with no face, no nothing, but a yellow glow in them.

He reaches over and to touch the yellow glow.

Then his was no longer purple.

All yellow.

The loud music stops.

The figures disappear.

I felt myself gasp.

The feeling of hurt and betrayal ran through my "body".

I felt like crying.

Jimin didn't look scared anymore.

He looked....peaceful now.

But that changed too quickly.

My view zoomed in on Jimin and his eyes widened like he saw a ghost.

He gasped.

"Grace."

I gasped again.

My view was flipped and there......

I saw myself.

Crying.

Hard.

I heard the cries. The sniffling. I heard it.

I knew it.

It was too familiar.

It was me.

The real me.

My glow was flickering too.

Like it was losing power.

Like it was going to disappear.

My figure was on its knees, sobbing hard.

My view zoomed back out and it was now me and Jimin.

Jimin, with his yellow glow, ran towards my figure.

He couldn't reach her.

Large teardrops, resembling before, started falling down, separating Jimin from me.

Jimin....

He looked terrified, worried.

Even more than he did before.

But he couldn't get pass the teardrops.

He was too scared to let the water hit him.

Then, my glow vanished.

He was too late.

The sobs stopped.

Everything was quiet.

The teardrops that were keeping Jimin from running to me were gone too.

My figure stood up and a blue glow appeared inside.

Jimin looked shocked.

He tried to run to me again, but he fell into a hole.

And never came out.

Everything went dark.

For a few seconds.

Then, I saw Jimin's eyes open.

My view zoomed out and it was back to before.

Where the atmosphere was dark and cold.

With Seokjin and I holding hands, glowing white with red.

And Jimin across from us, sad and wet.

His blue flame waving around.

"Are you ok?" My figure asked him.

Again?

I closed up on Jimin and he stared into my eyes, deeply.

He sighed.

"I'm not happy."

ARMY, can you make a theory for this chapter?

Hint:
Blue glow- sadness
Purple glow- I'm in love
Red glow- love
Other- whatever, who cares
