another version of me | all of us are dead (completed)

chapter 16 - goodbye

(REPOSTED)
- mi jin's pov -

"go, go, go." was all i said when i catched on jo looking back to the building, worrying cheong san. we are all holding eachother in a line while running into the woods.

none of us are sure about where we are going and like nam ra said, the school will be blown up anytime soon. there is no guarantee we will all survive the bomb but all i can do right now is keeping the only woman safe. i really can't lose this one.

everyone's panting heavily and losing breaths before i gasped to the roaring sound of an explosion behind us that made the ground trembles. horrify feeling spreads throughout my whole body when i turned around for my view to filled with orange, bright, burning and jolting sensation.

"mi jin!" i heard y/n yelling my name before massive rocks started coming their way to us, hitting the ground hardly like some meteors falling. i roughly pulled y/n to myself and covering her with my hand. i saw her doing the same to on jo.

we can't do anything else than trying to protect ourselves with a position as if we're rocks. "sis!" wu jin yelled at his sister before pushing her and rolling their bodies to the side to avoid the metal almost hitting ha ri. "are you okay?"

i heard y/n shrieked to the sudden dust explosion wrapping all of us up. i felt like i couldn't breathe for seconds, rumbling sounds was the only thing i heard. i couldn't see anything either but what i know is y/n is still in my arms. "y/n? y/n." she's coughing, "are you okay?" i found myself holding her face and i feel her head nodding. few coughs are heard after that. "is everyone okay?" i curiously asked and recieved yeses.

to my suprise, the fog and dust around us started to fade slowly, it was still hard to see and i've never experienced an explosion near me and never felt the vibe and sensation like this before. silent and emptiness filled the room, it was undescribable.

- y/n's pov -

everyone started to get up from the ground when we get to see our surroundings again at a slow pace, revealing the same woods we are in but it is dark already.

speechless gasp escaped my mouth when we saw the bombed underconstruction building behind us. it's red, it doesn't look like anything anymore. cheong san's most likely be dead.

- time skip -

i woke up to the warm sky, closing my eyes back from the slight fog that the explosion made. i find myself sitting down and leaning on a tree. my right hand feels like it's holding something and that's mi jin's hand. she turned facing me without saying anything.

i feel this sudden pain on my upper stomach and quickly looking down at it to see it's bleeding. mi jin was also leaning on the same tree i'm leaning on but sit up straight after she saw my wound. "what happened?" i cluelessly asked. "shit." was all she said before she place both of her hands pressing the wound. "something must be hitting you when the explosion happened." she assumed. i didn't remember a thing. "you'll be okay." she's back leaning on the tree we're on. everyone else was somewhere sitting around us, having no idea what we should do next.

"do you think we should have jjampong and smoke cigarettes all day when this shit is over?" i quietly asked mi jin and ended up hearing soft giggles coming out of her lips. "yes, we really should. i love jjampong." "do you also love jajangmyeon? i'm quite of an expert at making some." i said proudly with a grin before mi jin nods to me. "fuck--we really need to stay alive so i could maybe make you some of our favorite food." i sighed not caring about the stupid things i just said to cheer myself and escape the reality for a little bit. "i am looking forward into it." we giggled to eachother.

we both were directly facing eachother. my eyes found mi jin's lips and her eyes says it all. i feel my chest started pounding faster than ever when she lean closer to me. her desperate lips met mine and started brushing softly for the first time. i close my eyes letting myself feel the little butterflies dancing inside of me.

her lips were warm, they parted and allowing my bottom lip to slightly slip inside. i could feel her breath getting heavier when my fingers found themselves her pillowy cheek. our noses lightly touching eachothers made me feel the soft tickles all around my body.

we grew closer before stopping at the sound of dae su whining in pain. "stay still." said wu jin sitting beside him. it looks like he have the same wound as i did but it was on his thigh. i completely forgot about the pain on mine during the kiss with mi jin.

on jo began standing up and walk closer to the building we were on last night with su hyeok following after.

they were having a conversation but their voices were quite far away to able to hear anything. "i'm sorry, can you wait for just a sec? actually, nevermind. go ahead, i'll catch up with you." was the only thing i heard. is she going somewhere? catch up on cheong san?

i see nam ra standing up while i'm doing the same and quickly walk up to them. "i'll go with her." spoke nam ra. "me too." i continued. "i'll go too." said the same boy. "i'm also going." dae su tried standing up before wu jin stopped him. "no, you hurt you leg."

"wu jin, keep an eye on dae su." su hyeok speok to wu jin. the three of us began walking following on jo before i walk faster to catch up to on jo first.

she glanced at me walking beside her without saying anything and founding my wound second later. "what happened?" she asked. "oh it's just a small wound." i answered with my right hand patting my stomach. "you should've stayed and rest there." "no...that would be too awful of me to not care at all--do you remember the time we met on a window outside the cafeteria? i kept bringing this up to myself but he also helped me getting out of there through the window." i paused, "we might not know eachother at all but i'm sure he's a good person by taking care of others since i met you and your friends. so i hope it's okay for me to come by?" i sent her a smile before she nods to me.

without realizing, we were just a few blocks away from where he might be. slowly climbing the same stairs i almost fell on. nam ra and su hyeok are now right behind us.

we were now at the highest floor of the building, i saw on jo began looking around for him. the building was messier than before. it is for sure a building that is unfinished but the damage the explosion made was massive. dust all around the floor, broken bricks and other properties. we all reached the center of the floor. "hey, cheong san." worry was heard in on jo's voice. we can hear her breath started to go heavier. "cheong san!" she kept yelling his name, hoping for a response. i heard footsteps from su hyeok, he's walking to one of the edges. "cheong san, you're such a jerk!" she began crying before nam ra walk closer to us. "let's go. there is no one here, i don't smell anything." her voice lightly cracked with watery eyes. "let's say bye to cheong san...and go." nam ra hugged her a moment after. i let out a sigh, preventing myself to not shed a tear. i run my hand to on jo's right arm and stroke it gently, i hope she'll be okay.
