Chapter 72

I immediately grabbed Jae's hand and started to pull him towards a hug. As my hands slowly went around his waist and as a million apologies escaped my lips, a pair of hands grabbed me by the lower abdomen and pulled me out of his grasp.

Being in Jae's arms, felt nice to experience, for one last time before I'd have to wake up again and experience the reality again.

Such hands made me lose my balance, as they threw me out his hands and into the deeper side of the alleyway.

Although I never really believed in fate and it's timings nor did I really know much about it, what I did know was that this was a chance that I needed to take.

A chance for salvation and a chance to run.

I just couldn't stop myself from running away from all my problems, an addiction that just couldn't go away. Even if I tripped or fell, I would try my best to get back on my feet again.

Despite the fact that I had no idea where I was headed or why I was doing this, I knew that I needed to continue on with this, for I needed to get the hell out.

"It's no use!!" words that I'd could've screamed over and over again, yet I just couldn't stop myself from going nowhere, even with feet that were ripped apart with endless wounds.

Nothing could stop me anymore from getting were I wanted.

"This is all I can do anyway!! I can't do anything but run away from my problems!!" I was slowly starting to accept this as my character, the role that I needed to fulfill in this story.

I couldn't tell whether I was crying or sweating anymore, as the pain in my heart started to get unbearable. Knowing that I was still in a vulnerable position, I continued to ignore these things until I just couldn't anymore.

No one could stop me, not even myself.

The wind started to blow harder in the opposite direction, as the adrenaline would just not stop pumping out of my body.

Replaying the scene over and over again caused me to stop towards a trash, the perfect hiding place; I was already too far from that place for them to ever find me.

"Curse you stupid fate, destiny, whatever you are." my voice started to get smaller while my tears kept choking me up towards a breakdown, turning my breathing into a desperate, harsh one.

I missed my old self, I missed my ignorance and my unknowingness of the cruel world, I missed my family and friends.

Why had I even moved here in the first place? Knowing that it would be hard to adapt to it's culture and manners.

Why did I do such a beautiful yet stupid thing?

An unexpected noise then appeared, taking me completely off guard. I started to look around the place, yet I couldn't find anything at all, making even more nervous.

My breathing started to lower as I closed my eyes. The sound was heard yet again, but this time it was closer.

A sudden embrace wrapped their arms around me and buried their face into my hair and shoulder; I knew exactly who it was and what I was dealing with, but I just couldn't seem to care anymore.

Jae, even after all of this, you still decided to check on me and see if I was alright? I just couldn't understand you sometimes.

"I'm sorry, I really am." I started to slowly open my eyes, as I said no words back to him, not really knowing what to say to him at this point.

He looked at me with a nervous expression. Jae's jittery stance and walk while he tried to check on whether or not someone was there and once he realized no one was there, he quickly started to wipe my tears and my wounds with a single napkin.

"Listen to me, not so far from here, towards the bright red bridge, is my apartment. I already told my roommate about your visit, he'll be meeting with you by the door."

"They won't find you there." I couldn't believe what he was telling me, I didn't understand why we needed to go towards that point, yet I tried to not question him as I still wanted to believe in his words.

"Are you okay though?" although this was stupid question from my part, I still felt the urge to ask it. He had a busted lip and blood that kept pouring from his cheek, anyone who saw him would have known that he wasn't okay .

"Who am I kidding?! You aren't okay!!" he grabbed me by the hand and looked at me dead in the eye and said:

"I'm fine."

I could then hear a voice say: "Where the hell is he?! Don't tell me he escaped too!!" while Jae slowly started to move away from me, having that reassuring smile on his face.

"Go."
