Close your eyes and don't look back.
You will never move forward if you keep staring at your shadow.

As the world around me grows fuzzy and warm, I can feel the bright sunshine carress my skin, giving me goosebumps.

Oh no! It's happening again.

Looking outside of the window, the same tree greets me. Fear strikes me as I turn to the mirror on the wall. The beating of my heart slows down as I am the same 13 year old girl from last time.

Time has reset once again.

The sound of the door opening has me in anticipation.

Turning to him, my smile falls as I see his countenance.

Omminous.

Walking over to him, I'm surprised when he slaps away my out reached hand.

"My Eomma....." his hands shook as he bit his lip. Trying not to cry, he described what happened. "I was climbing the hill like usual to check on the tree that I had planted. Everything was fine....until....I let go of her hand."

With sad eyes, I ignore what he did earlier and gently hold his head in my hands. With tears in both of our eyes, our heads leaned against each other as our foreheads softly touch.

Even though he is small, his body comforts me. His body temperature warms my cold body so that for a moment, I felt.... Alive.

Two warm bodies embracing.

But that will soon end. It always does.

If only he could remember my name.

"She died from a heart attack. It was so sudden....and I couldn't do anything about it." He whimpers like an injured puppy as he returns my embrace by wrapping his arms around my waist.

Min Yoongi let out a weird sound as he bawled his eyes out.

We stood like that for awhile. Neither one of us spoke. Just the sound of our hearts could be heard as they cracked and shattered into a million pieces beyond repair.

It's weird to have a heart break along with another's.

"I just want her back!" He sobbed as his whole body trembled from his grief.

"I regret not spending time with her. If I had just..." Tightening his hands on me, Yoongi bites his lower lip as he begins to hiccup from his uncontrolled emotions.

I'm sorry...I'm going to have to break the rules.

I'm willing to risk it because I love him. And I don't like seeing my loved ones suffer...

Lowering my eyes in embarrassment, my lips graze his ear as I whisper one word.

Looking at me weirdly, his eyes widen when he realizes what I just did. "You can speak?" Before I could answer him, the world around us changes as we are still in each other's arms.

Looking at the window, it is night time now.

My legs crumble underneath me as another one of my natural abilities is taken away from me. But it was worth it.

"Goodnight Min Yoongi." I mouth as I slowly disappear again.

************

As the world around me grows fuzzy, I expect the warmth of the morning.

I am sadly disappointed. The bitterness of rain has shed her tears upon the ground creating a dreary fog. My arms are chilled since I am wearing nothing but a spring dress. I look at the mirror on the wall and notice that my hair has slightly grown longer.

How much time has passed?

The same boy walks through the door, only this time he isn't limping. With purposeful strides, he walks over to me and grabs my arms. His eyes are blood shot and he is trembling in fear.

"What is happening to me?"

When I ask him what was wrong, he let's go of me and rakes through his black hair in frustration. My arms are left with bruises from his tight grip but his words give me more pain.

"My mother died yesterday, right?"
So he remembers.

I sadly nod my head.

"The weird thing was....when I woke up this morning, I peeked inside her room so I could cope with her death. In her bed, I could see a slight figure underneath the covers. When I approached the bed, I could recognize my Eomma. I quickly checked her pulse and she was alive."

I gave him a wistful smile as realization dawned on me.

I had changed time thus changing the present and the future.

"How is that possible?" He choked out.

How do I explain this to him?

"I have a feeling it's because of you."

Surprised, I adamently nod my head.

"I have this sense of nostaglia whenever I see you, but I can never remember your name." Yoongi said sheepishly. Shaking my head, I point to his chest and trace a heart in the air.

"I promise, I will find out your name soon."
