날 쏘고 가라 || Soonseokhoon fanfic

♤Chapter 14♤

Everything came to a halt. Time seemed to stop. The blaring of horns mixed with the destructive sound of crushing metal but all that seemed to be replaced by a constant ringing. Seokmin must have lost his mind. At this moment, nothing was worse than giving into this temptation. The temptation of knocking someone down - almost quite literally.

Soonyoung definitely saw the scene. How he was panting so hard from chasing Seokmin didn't matter anymore. Jihoon was hurt - and most likely on the brink of death just like how he was. It definitely didn't occur to him that he had only met Jihoon a few times or that he couldn't remember  who Jihoon was. But his natural instinct was to run over to the completely deformed car to get Jihoon out. Maybe it was something in his heart that made it instinctive.

Soonyoung rushed to the overturned car, hurriedly clearing the shattered glass debris from the road and pulling Jihoon out with all his strength. The glass shards sticking out of the window drew a long gash against Soonyoung's forearm - not that Soonyoung would let it get in the way of saving Jihoon. Soonyoung quickly carried Jihoon to the pavement, laying him flat on the rough ground before checking for a pulse. Luckily, Soonyoung could still feel a faint pulse. Soonyoung took a good look at Jihoon for long while. Jihoon's head was all bloody from bouncing between the steering wheel and the headrest, and he was raining blood from the glass shards shattered across his fragile skin. Poor boy.

He fumbled over his phone before dialing for the emergency hotline. Meanwhile, passerbys were gathering around the scene, trying to get a glimpse of the situation. However, there was no sight of Seokmin or his car. He must have driven off when no one was looking.

The ambulance arrived quickly and the medical team quickly but carefully lifted Jihoon onto the stretcher and whisked away. Soonyoung, who watched everything unfold,  never left Jihoon's side. Unconsciously, he looked hopefully upon Jihoon's cold body, silently praying that everything will be okay. Upon reaching the hospital, he watched silently as they wheeled Jihoon into the surgery room and slumped into the nearest chair.

This was a scene all too familiar.

As soon as the operation room lights switched off, Soonyoung pushed himself off the seat and fumbled forward. The past few hours was nothing but torture with the police asking him endless questions and multiple reporters prying for more information.

"How's Jihoon?" Soonyoung bit his fingernails, anxiously tapping his foot. "He's out of danger but he's still in a coma."

"When will he wake up?"

"We don't know...it's a miracle he even survived. You can check up on him in the ICU in a bit."

Soonyoung was left stunned by the doctor's words. He was so close to finding out the truth. So close to just making a new friend . And now everything was back to square one as if he was thrown back into the dark and was forced to find his way out. 

But one thing was still for sure - his heart ached for Jihoon.
