Who Are We?

it was, undoubtedly, the beginning of the end as jonghyun and jinki stood atop the roof of a desecrated building, the structure of which was trembling with the aftershocks of the earth quake. the men stood their ground, or lack thereof, watching as pieces of the earth's crust opened up and swallowed entire city blocks, the people's screams falling on deaf ears as the two demi gods watched the destruction.

jonghyun pulled the cigarette from his lips, exhaling slowly through his nose. the building beneath them finally groaned when the pillars crumbled, the slow tilt of it through the air something poetic as it sailed to the ground, an instrument of death to the hundreds of people trying to run from it. the demi gods calmly walked up crumbling rocks as the building fell, scaling the marble and limestone until finally the building collapsed completely onto the road, killing everyone in its way. they watched as people fled and tried to find any sort of cover - like ants fleeing from rain.

jinki's eyes were sad as he watched the humans move around, as he watched a mother carry her battered son through the crowd, screaming for help. his eyes were sad as he watched a father give his life in order to save his daughter, only to die in vain when the earth rumbled and sucked her in.

"are you sad for them?" jonghyun asked, the purple haze of his cigarette smoke swirling around their heads as they started to descend from the obliterated building.

"aren't you?" jinki responded with a question of his own as they strolled along calmly through the torn streets, stepping over bodies and carnage.

"they brought it on themselves," jonghyun said with a shrug, flicking his cigarette towards a crashed car - it hit the fuel line and ignited immediately, killing two people that had been running by it. "they are the ones that predicted the end of the world."

jinki stayed silent as fire hydrants exploded and dogs yowled, watching as the humans drove their cars mercilessly to try and get away, not caring if they hit a person or a street sign.

"who are we to deny them?" jonghyun asked, his smirk sinister but truthful as he opened his arms and gestured around.

"humans were the ones to predict the end of the world," jonghyun continued, spinning a slow circle as they walked. he stopped in front of jinki and faced the taller man, reaching forward to brush some ash off of the other's shoulder shoulder. he smiled brightly, and jinki took jonghyun's next words to heart.

"who are we to deny the humans what they ultimately ask for?"

who are we, indeed.
