The sky was a luscious mixture of oranges, pinks, and blues as the sun set beyond the city and behind the mountains. Smoke rose from the tall city, ashes of buildings and dead bodies rising into the air.

“You know, despite the fact the world is falling apart, it's still beautiful.” Mingyu took a sip of his Mountain Dew, looking at the view before his eyes. Wonwoo nods, a deep hum ringing out in his throat.
