Languor || Zhong Chenle

Drowning

"Get the fuck off!"

"Chenle, help!" I said, shielding my head with my wrists.

My scream resonates the glass window beside me.

Chenle fires the gun that is present in his hand. The man that was hovering me arched back but still concious enough to shoot his gun again. I push my body near the window with my frail legs, inching far from the bullets.

Crackle

Something pushed my body to the glass door, it cracks because something also hammered on the surface.

The man that i had hit on the head with a grenade is pushing me.

I tried to wiggle out before the glass compeletely shattered.

"Ah!" I screamed.

"No, Xiao Yue!" Chenle screamed when our eyes met.

One more push from the tip of his fingers send me outside, gravity pulls me down.

I'm falling off the building.

The air is hitting my skin with the glass fractions. My heart is beating far from constant. My flacid legs tasting the cold autumn together with my body.

I'm scared.

Splash

Water gurgled, pushing through my ears. The zing of cold caused my eyes to flutter.

I'm drowning.

My conciousness is being ripped off my body. The lotuses are beside me, blooming haughtilly. Looking down on me.

I flap my arms, relying on newton's third law.

I rose to the surface to take a breath only to be pulled again by the gravity. I grab the lotuses, yanking the life out of their cocky bloom, gathering their necks on my arms.

The bundle of lotuses is giving me enough support to keep me from drowning. My tears became one with the water surrounding my body.

"Xiao Yue!"

Its Chenle.

I cry painfully through my blurry sight, still holding my dear life on to the lotuses.

Splash

Just a little less than a minute, Chenle is beside me, grabbing me and swim to the edge of the deep slough like pond.

Chenle drags my body to the side while i cry my heart out.

"Are you okay?" Chenle spoke through his panicked voice.

I shake my head weakly. The realization of what just happened made me cry harder than before.

Chenle pull me into a hug.

I cry on to his drenched body, sobbing, gasping for breath that was hitched by the moment.

"Shut up," he said to me while caressing the back of my head.

"Chenle, its the Hwangs!" Hrvy screamed when he catch Chenle with the corner of his eyes.

Hrvy runs closer to Chenle, blood coming out from his wounded lips. His hands are dripping with crimson liquid.

"They attacked me in the car, i finished them off," said Hrvy.

"Hwang Zi Yi, its must be her," Chenle said.

Hrvy's eyes swift from Chenle to the girl that is crying on the boy's chest.

"Xiao Yue, oh no, i'll carry her to the car."

Hrvy then tries to lift the girl up. He fails when the wound on his arm made a contact with the girl's body.

"Let's just go home, i'll carry her."
