// Injury //

Yona blocked the man's attack, while there was a huge difference in strength, she was able to block the two attacks that came after. The man used brute force, to push her into the wall behind her. Yet Yona with all her strength got up again.

"Ugh.." You looked behind you, watching Lili visible tremble, with tears in her eyes. She was most likely a sheltered girl who had never seen things like this before. "Stay close to me." Yona said, her voice wasn't wavering, and she had a fire in her eyes.

"You cheeky girl! You can't even defend yourself, you think you can protect them!" Another man attacked her two, as she now had to defend herself from two men. You gritted your teeth, at how useless you were. You can't even protect the people precious to you.

Yona continued to dodge all their attacks, except the one huge slash across her arm, however she was also able to damage one of their legs. The man fell to the floor. Yona fell to the floor too, she barely had any strength left to fend of the men, and her hands were shaking, but from behind her, the second man raised his sword, he had found an opening.

Without thinking, you ran infront of her, standing infront of the incoming sword and Yona. At least.. if you took the impact, Yona would still be able to defend some of their attacks. The sword sliced across your stomach, as a burning sensation spread through your body.

From behind you heard Lili gasp, and Yona quickly caught your falling body. "(Name)!" She yelled at out, she could feel her blood go cold. The blood continued to seep out through your wound, and your vision quickly grew blurry. At least you were able to help.. even just a little.

Yona got back on her feet, after leaving you in Lili's embrace. Her blood was boiling and she was ready to fight absolutely everyone. "Yona.. I'm sorry.. for... being.. so useless." But instead of Yona being the one to attack, Shin-ah tore the man apart. He was seething with anger too.

"Yona! You have blood on.. your.. arm." Yoon was speechless when he noticed the blood all over you. "(Name)! You reckless idiot!" He yelled, quickly crouching down beside you.

"Those men are the smugglers!" Yona yelled, pointing her sword to the man with the scar. She was able to give him another scar. Your ears were ringing and before you knew it, you closed your eyes, your last thought was how proud you were of Yona, and how strong she had become.. compared to you.

When you woke up, Yona was the only one beside you. Your body was wrapped in bandages, as was Yona's arm. You were back at the inn room. "Yona..?" You called out to her, as whipped her head towards you.

"(Name)! Are you okay? I- I'm so sorry! This was my fault! Had I been stronger.. you wouldn't have gotten hurt.." She rambled beside you, tears falling from her eyes. You stretched out your hand, gently wiping them away.

"Idiot. You have nothing to apologize for. I did that because, I didn't wanna see you get hurt. You're so strong, it was because of you.. that we were able to save ourselves. Had I been stronger.. I wouldn't have gotten hurt.. and instead I would've helped you." You explained, offering her a smile.

"Stop crying, dummy. I'm okay. But.. Yona I want to get stronger, it's not only this time.. there are going to be so many more times.. where I won't be able to do anything." Yona placed her hand above your hand that rested on her cheek, she gave it a squeeze.

"Let's get stronger together." She told you, wiping away her tears, you nodded your head. "How's Tetora? Is she okay?" You asked Yona, who pointed to the door. "Yoon's currently attending to her. When Hak saw you like this.. he went on a rampage, you should see him." Yona told you, smiling slightly before getting up to go get him.

In the little time, Yona had left to get Hak, you had fallen back asleep, exhausted from the events of the day. You woke up, when you felt a cold hand caress your check. Upon waking up, you saw Hak, his eyebrows were furrowed. And he was frowning. Within his eyes there was mix of anger, guilt and pain.

"Hak..?" You called out to him, as he looked you in the eye. Hak couldn't even say anything.. he felt so mad that he had left you here, he was mad at the man who caused all this, and he was in pain to see you suffer so much, he couldn't bear seeing all the bandages wrapped around your body.

You tried sitting up, when there was no response from him. "Don't bend your body forward, it'll cause the wound to reopen." He stated, letting you lean back on his body. The pain that had once been unbearable barely existed now, and you knew it was all thanks to Doctor Yoon.

"Hak, I want to get stronger." You told him, when he continued to make that expression. "I want to protect the people precious to me too, I want to defend myself too." You explained, but Hak only leaned towards you pecking your forehead. His cold hand traced the wound left on your stomach, and he frowned once more. "I am going to kill them."
