You are a heroine in a movie. The background of the movie is the middle ages when Robin Hood shot arrows. You are running away from enemies in a forest because you are falsely accused thanks to your friend's lie. The enemies are running after you continuously. As you are running busy as a hen with one chicken, you reach the top of a cliff unfortunately. What is your choice in this situation? Are you caught by the enemies meekly? Or leap off the cliff?

 

 

 

 

I bravely said "I will do bungee jumping!" in DKH's editorial conference but I became worried the day before I did bungee jumping. 'How can I do if the bungee jumping rope snaps? If I am bumped against the bungee jumping column? If my body thinks that I am suiciding so my heart is going to be stopped? Am I dying in just my twenties?' The day I did bungee jump I came with these worries. I woke up early and then went to Yuldong Park located in Bungang-gu. Did I hate to do bungee jumping instinctually? I should have arrived at 11 o'clock but I reached there 40 minutes later. After I paid 25,000won which is not cheap on the first floor in bungee jump center, I got on the elevator that goes up to its place. The more I became nervous and talked a lot unnecessary words, the more I am far from the land. The clerk cheered me with the saying that "You can do it as everyone does." The elevator was stopped and then finally I reached the top of the place. Before doing bungee jumping, I was very terrified with my expectation. Even I could not stand straight with two feet in order, I pulled back my foot involuntarily. The guide said to me who was trembling with fear.

"You are going to jump when I say 'Bungee,' Three Two on-"

"Wait, Wait a minutes! When will you throw the rope after I jump down? or before?"

"That is my business. Well, try again! Three Two One Bungee."

Let's jump!... but my feet caught myself.

"Can I take one more chance ?"

"You cannot take many chances. It is the last time. Three Two One Bun-"

I could not remember how I did jump down at the moment. When I recovered my senses, I was already going down. As I was falling down, my eyes filled with tears. I just heard only wind sound and then my body went up again. 'Ah… Is this feeling flying to the sky? I feel that my body is so light and it is first time to feel freedom like this. Do birds live with this feeling everyday? If they do, I want to be a bird.' It was very a short moment and then I fell down again. After I went up and down over and over, I came back to the land. After bungee jumping, I was very exhausted. It was why I had been stressed at the chaos time? Or I lost the freedom and then came back to the reality?

 

 

 

Someone said that "There is not any fear in the world after doing bungee jumping." I can say as a bungee jumping undergoer that "there are many things more frightening than it in the world." However, if you have done bungee jumping, when you come upon the enemies in your life, you do not have to compromise with them or be caught by them because you do not have the courage to leap off the cliff at least. Bungee jumping, only a brave person can conquer it!
