"Taeil-hyuuuuung~!"

I excitedly called out for him, finding him  looking out the window, nibbling on a green freeze pop.

"Hmm~???"

He hummed, turning around with an innocent questioning look.

"Let's watch a movie~"

"Mmm~"

He nodded, and quickly finished his popsicle.

"Which movie~?"

"Black Panther~"

"Great choice~. You bring the snacks while I get the movie ready~"

I nodded, and scurried to gather up our snacks and drinks.

15 Minutes Later

"Prince T'Challa is amazing~. He's always been my favorite~"

"I agree hyung~. I can see why he's your favorite~"

"Mhm~. But I have a question for you Jun"

"Yeah hyung?"

I turned the movie down a bit to give him my attention.

"How come you wanted to watch a movie with me all in a sudden? Not that I mind or anything~"

"Oh~. It's simple really. I was thinking back on our last battle, back when we almost died. When I was about to give up hope, I could hear all of your voices calling out to me. Each of you gave me a piece of encouragement that helped me greatly in the end. But, I also had flashbacks, each of them possessing a precious memory that I had for each of you. So now, I'm trying to relive most of those memories after our near death experience~"

I explained.

"Oh~, I get it~. So that means, the precious memory you had with me was back when we watched Parasite together~"

"Exactly hyung~. It won't be the same as the first time, but at least we all still have a chance to relive these good times~"

"I completely understand~.

"Also, there's another reason"

"And what's that?"

He questioned.

"I heard this from my twin, but the actor that played as T'Challa, Chadwick Boseman, died recently from stage four colon cancer"

"Seriously?! That's terrible!"

He exclaimed.

"He's battled with it for four years. But even though he knew about it, he still played all of his roles so well, especially Black Panther, even with all of the countless surgeries and chemotherapies he'd been through"

"I wish they could've done more to save him... There's no telling what an extraordinary job he would've done in the future with his acting career... Not to mention how much he would've changed the world more than he already did..."

"He would've done so well. But I'm just happy he got to be in the presence of his wife and family before he passed"

"That's puts me at ease a bit..."

There was a silence between us, until I thought of something great.

"Hyung! I just realized!"

"What is it???"

"This may not be the end for him~"

"What do you mean?!"

"You know how Jungwoo and Lucas got reborn on Earth after they died? There's a chance that he could get reborn here or in another world, universe, or galaxy~"

"Oh yeah~! There's a chance that he'll be reborn on Earth too right??"

"Sadly no. There are some restrictions and rules when it comes to being revived on Earth. Though it's simple for anyone with enough willpower to be reborn in places like Ethora, such as Nakamoto-hyung, it's difficult on Earth. If you die on Earth by any ailments or diseases, you can't be reborn there, but you can be anywhere else. And if you die in an accident like Jungwoo and Lucas, get reborn like Nakamoto-hyung, or simply die of natural causes, you can be reborn anywhere, including Earth"

"Oh! I get it~. In that case, I look forward to seeing him if he does get reborn somewhere out there~. He may even be reborn with the powers of Black Panther~"

"I can't wait for that. I just know he'll be reborn. I can't wait to fight by his side one day~"

I smiled.

Taeil seemed satisfied with my words, and turned the movie back up for us to resume watching.
