[Places: Container town, hospital]

I landed flat on the container floor. Made of iron, the container was filled with so much heat that I couldn't keep my eyes open. I narrowed my eyes and tried to see. U-chang was there. Ten minutes ago. I'd left saying, "I'll go and buy some ramyeon."

I turned toward a coughing sound, and U-chang was all curled up in the corner. "U-chang-ah, are you okay?" I took a blanket and wet it with a water bottle, and I covered U-chang with it. Pointing to the door, I told him, "You have to run to the door. U-chang-ah, you can do it." But the door was soon surrounded by huge flames from outside. I gripped U-chang's hand. "When I say three, you run to that door. One, two---."

Just then, something toppled down in front of the door--- the construction materials that had been piled up next to the container. The flames rose high in the midst of dust. Scared, U-chang and I stepped back. We had no exit.

Clang clang. I turned to the sound and saw Seokjin hyung through the window. He was trying to pull off the security grille. I stepped on a chair, and with a wet towel wrapped around my hand, I tried to push out the window. The wet towel sizzled when I put my hand on the heated window frame. Outside the window, hyung was trying to pry out the grille with a stick. I coughed from the smoke. Because of the heat, I couldn't breathe or keep my eyes open.

Finally, there was enough space for U-chang to escape. "Hyung, be careful!" I threw U-chang through the window to Seokjin hyung.

And I had no strength left. The container was filled with smoke. I heard the sirens coming from afar. After taking couple of steps back, I collapsed. And I slowly blacked out.

(A/N: POV #2)

When I opened my eyes, I was lying on the middle of the road. I saw the leafless trees and the white sky above them. And huge snowflakes fell. I sat up. And I saw the white chalk mark of the person where I had been lying. How did I get here? I looked around.

"Why are you here?" I turned to the voice and saw Jonghun sitting on his scooter. He didn't look changed at all.

"Why are you here?" I asked, but interrupting me, Jonghun pointed to the backseat of his scooter.

As I got up, I felt something sharp in my hand. A piece of the scooter headlight I had left behind. When I got on the scooter, it lurched and got going. The wind was blowing on the face, but soon I felt the hot air. I shut my eyes.

"Kim Namjoon! Wake up!"

I opened my eyes again, hearing someone calling my name. Seokjin hyung was looking down at me. Behind him, I saw a white curtain and medical equipment. Only then did I realize I was in the hospital. And the last thing I remembered was grabbing my hand.

"Am I okay?" I sat up and looked down at my hands and feet.

"You passed out from inhaling too much smoke."

I nodded, looking at my unhurt hands and then my palms.

"Annyeong," was what I heard sitting on the backseat of the scooter.

(A/N: Since Jonghun (a.k.a Not Taehyung) and Namjoon is so close to each other, I made 'annyeong' as his 'bye / farewell' to be more sentimental hehe.
