Crazy for each other

The last thing he could clearly recall was someone familiar shouting his name, and after that, his mind had gone completely blank.

The face that he could remember brightly smiling was growing pale by each passing second while she laid on her arms.

When he failed to notice that incoming car, he did not expect that she would come out of nowhere to push him out of the way only to end up this way due to her hasty decision.

Blood dripped down from her forehead while he tightly hugged her figure. He wasn’t able to think straight at that moment. The only thought running in his mind was that he wouldn’t let go of this warmth.

All of his senses went dull, and the people that gathered around both of them did not catch his attention. Although everyone was creating a ruckus around him, the sounds did not reach him.

His body shook while he could feel the warmth leaving her body each second. He did not know what to do. He was willing to do anything to have her open her eyes.

While he held her body close to his, he was vaguely able to feel her heart beats, and that was the only thing that managed to keep him going until now or else he would have collapsed back.

°°°

Everything was a blur to him. The only thing he could recall was holding on to her desperately while she was placed into the ambulance. The entire time he begged her to be alive.

Standing outside of the room she was being operated at, his knees collapsed, and sitting down on the ground, he had tears glistening at the corner of his eyes.

While anxiety build up within him, his heart started to beat rapidly inside his chest, and the worst possible scenario came in his mind.

He wasn’t able to bring himself to think positively, and clenching his hand into a tight fist, he stared down at the ground.

A tear droplet fell down his eyes.

He wanted to scream loudly. More than that, he wanted to destroy himself. If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t have ended up in that situation.

He should have been better.

A pair of foot rushed behind him and came to stand beside him. He did not bother to raise his head.

Nervousness started to fill Mirae, and she felt sick in her stomach due to that. Her chest clenched painfully while she hoped for things to go right for Yura.

Her gaze then fell on the man crouching down beside her, and from his appearance alone, it was visible that he was at a worse state.

Mirae was aware of the obsession he had with Yura, and seeing him like that was indeed worrisome. It was as if he was completely soulless, and his skin was couple of shades paler.

Mirae was in no state to comfort someone else, but feeling pity for the man, she said, “You know, she did not save you for you to destroy yourself. And this is something Yura will survive.”

However, it did not appear as if her words had reached his ears. There was nothing more than this that she was able to do. Now, the only thing that could be done was for Yura to wake up.

°°°

Yejoon held on to the hand of the woman resting on the bed. Although the doctor had mentioned about how she was out of the danger, the anxiety within him wouldn’t disappear until the moment she opened her eyes.

Clenching her hand tightly, he brought it closer to his mouth and kissed on it softly. He hoped that he would be able to transfer some of the warmth from his body to her like that.

“Please wake up quickly, Yura,” he begged, “I wouldn’t be able to go on for long without you. Please open your eyes. I will do anything for that to happen.”

°°°

A day had passed before Yura had finally opened her eyes. Other than the injury she had suffered on her head, the aftermath wasn’t that bad.

She was able to get away without any broken limbs and with few scratches. Only her right hand was sprained slightly. But that did not bother her much.

Although lying on the hospital bed wasn’t an ideal situation for Yura, she was more than glad that she was one on this bed.

She considered herself lucky for being able to save him in that moment. Although one would consider that to be quite reckless of her, she did not think of it as so.

If she had wasted a second further back then in order to come up with a better solution, for sure he would be the one laying on this bed right now.

That was something she couldn’t let happen at any cost.

Seeing how Mirae stared at her with tears visible in his eyes, Yura let out a chuckle and commented, “What? Are you actually crying?”

“Tch! Of course not! Are you an idiot to do something as dangerous as that? I almost got an heart attack when I heard of it. You just got everything on track. It would be too much of a pity to lose your life.”

“See, I was really careful when doing it. That’s why, I only ended up with some minor wounds,” she said. Of course, that wasn’t the case, but she wanted to comfort Mirae.

“Both you and Yejoon are crazy for each other. Speaking about him, he is waiting for you outside.”
