Minho is trying to ignore his sadness. I feel his heart aching inside of mine.
Minho: Hello? Hello, this is an emergency we need an ambulance right now.
I sob wrapping my shirt tighter around his waist. It's all red. Bloody.
Minho: Right now, yeah. It's about life or death.
We flash each other a look.
Minho: Fine. Thank you, thank you so much.
He bends down again leaving his phone on the ground.
Me: Minho...
I stare at him. My eyes are out of hope. Glassy and sore. My face stands for the pain I'm feeling. I stop pressing letting my body lean against the cold wall and try to stay sane.
Me: Minho.
Minho: Hey, come here. Come here, sweetie. We're in this together.
He embraces me. It kind of makes my cold skin warm up but I don't feel better. It even pains me worse.
Me: Not again, Minho. I don't wanna go through this again.
Minho: You won't have to. Me neither.
He tightens his grip sinking deeper into the hug.
Minho: Never again.
Colored lights appear in the distance.
Minho: That's them.
We nod at each other and he walks off waving the paramedics into the right direction. I watch him talking to one of them while three others come approaching me and Jisung. They bend down to us.
Paramedic 1: Unconscious. What about the girl?
I'm being covered into a warm blanket. But all I see is Jisung getting dragged towards the vehicle on a lie.
Paramedic 2: Hey, I'm Tori. Do you have any injuries, did you fall? Anything?
I shake my head in an incredibly low speed.
Tori: Do you know the guy?
My nodding doesn't honestly work any faster.
Tori: I see you've been trying to help him.
She squints to my shirt.
Tori: That was a very brave step. You can be proud of yourself.
Her smile seems warm and pure.
Tori: Come on, I'll lead you to the van.
She reaches out her hand asking me to take it. I explore it still being in a trance and not able to move.
