"Get out of the way!" A tall man pushed through the crowd.

"Get out of the way!" As soon as he entered the ES, he quickly found an empty bed and set Minji down.

Ryujin, who was sitting at the nurse station, instantly stood up at the noise.

"It's Dr. Kim Minji!" Shouted the security guard.

Ryujin ran to Minji's bed. She gasped loudly looking at her best friend covered in blood. There were bruises and small cuts on her face. She was shaking and pale.

"Bring her to trauma two!"

A few residents and paramedics immediately moved as ordered.

"Ryu, what the hell? I heard Minji's name?" Haerin burst into the room.

"Oh my God!"

The medical team quickly ripped out Minji's clothes.

"Minji, hang on, okay? I need to see the wound." Ryujin spoke softly to console Minji.

"Lift her on my count. Gentle, people! One, two, three!"

Minji grunted loudly as the pain stabbed her whole body again.

"Right thigh, through and through, Dr. Shin."

"Abdomen through! And not through." Ryujin whispered the last part dejectedly.

"Ryu?" Haerin urged Ryujin to speak about the situation as she wore the gloves.

"Not through. The bullet is still in there."

"In the abdomen?"

Ryujin didn't have to answer that. Haerin already comprehended from the look on her face.

"Minji, look at me." The general surgeon shook Minji's shoulder.

"You're going to be fine, alright? We got you."

Minji shakily smiled. Her eyes were dim. "R-Ryu, my ring. Take my ring." She was choking for oxygen.

"G-give it back t- to my wife. Tell he-her, tell her I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. A and I love her. Tell her that. And tell urgh!" She growled at the extreme pain from somewhere on her body. Her body was not hers anymore. It felt alien. She didn't recognize it.

"Tell my- my Aorta, Artery, and Ve - Venous I'm sorry. I love them so so much. Tell them."

"No." Ryujin replied firmly.

"They're your family. They're not mine. You're going to say it yourself because you're going to be fine. You hear me? You're going to be fine."

"O okay. But- but tell them. Tell them I love them."

Then her smile faded.

"I know you're scared, Minji. I know your past makes you feel this way. I am, too. I don't think I'd be able to love someone this much but I do. I'm yours. Don't doubt what we have."

"This feels surreal, you know? What did I do to deserve someone like you?"

"You're moved my world to a better place. I'm not letting you go, Minji. Not now, not ever. I'm so crazy right now. You make me crazy."

"I've always been wondering how," Minji took Hanni's hand and held it gently.

"How can a smile, your smile, steal my breath away that easily?"

"And I also have always been wondering how your hug can give me eternal peace and a sense of safety? How did you do that?"

"I don't know." Minji whispered lowly. She pulled her fiancée closer, wrapping her arms around her, taking her time to savor her scent.
