Chapter 5: Adrenaline

"What do you mean she 'moved?"  I started to interrogate them.

Hyunjin moved towards me now, placing his hand on my shoulder. I wanted to push his hand off, but I stopped myself. "Seungmin. She was bound to leave eventually. You shouldn't have gotten so attached to her anyways. Bros before hoes,"

Screw it. I shoved his hand off of me. "Don't say that about Yumi." My tone was clear, sharper than glass. I hope it cut him deeper than glass. They all backed away a bit, giving me space before I slammed my locker shut. No one talks about my Yumi like that. Don't make me add another name to my kill list.

I stormed off silently, leaving them in my dust to think about what they said. If he doesn't apologize by the end of this week, we're going to have a little bit  of a problem.

First period bell rang. No worries though, I was already in my classroom. I kept my eyes on the door, mentally noting down everyone who stepped into the classroom. The bell rang once more. No sign of Yumi. Where is she? Did she actually move? Even if they were right, it doesn't mean they can start talking crap about her like that.

For the first time in a while, I didn't pay attention to class. I was so busy thinking about her and making up theories and explanations that I ended up zoning out. It's not like anyone noticed nor cared anyways. Only person who did was  Yumi. She'll come back, I'm sure of it. You can't just come into someone's life, make them feel special, then leave without saying a word. I put my headphones in, turning on Street Lights.

Perfect. It was as if the playlist always knew how I was feeling. That's something I could never explain, even if I tried. Music is the one thing I could always relate to, it's the one thing that kept me from losing sight of all my emotions as a whole. If I didn't have this playlist... if I didn't have Yumi... I'd be broken. I would be dead now. I'm already a dead man. But she always kept me going. I can't lose her now. Not like this.

All these thoughts began attacking me like a bull, buzzing around my head as if they were wasps in a nest. My hands were over my face. No one asked questions about it. For a moment it was silent. Then the second bell sounded. Yumi.... I know you can't hear me... but if you can- even if there is a small chance... please come home. Did she not know I needed her? If only I could just see her, she couldn't be far. If she was, then I wouldn't feel like this. Part of me would feel missing. Instead, part of me just felt... idle. Like it was there, just not working. In pain. Was she in pain? No. If she was, then that means I broke my promise.

Everything was black. Nothing but darkness surrounded me. My whole body felt numb yet in pain at the same time. A shiver rushed through my body, sending adrenaline to rush through my veins. I jerked at the feeling of it, forcing myself to open my eyes. Suddenly a beeping sound was audible from near me. Get up Yumi! You need to open your eyes.. For Seungmin...

Air entered my lungs as I took a deep breath. I'm alive. The oxygen filled my lungs, sending more adrenaline to pass through my body as if I were the next train home. Without warning, my brain forced my body to move, but instead my eyes jolted open with such force that I wasn't ready to see such bright lights. Now the pain was seeping into my skin, making my whole body ache. Out of everything I could feel, my heart hurt the most. It wasn't because of the bloody impact the ground had, though. It hurts for Seungmin.

Doctors and nurses dashed into the room two at a time. Everything around me was white: the walls, the bed, the sheets, the ceiling, the table, the blinds. The door was wood though, which made it the only color in the room. The doctors around me began to do a bunch of stuff, running around as if I had just woken up from the dead. The nurse began to jot stuff down on his notepad.

"Vitals"  

"Stable"

"Temperature?" 

 "Normal"

"Respiratory rate?" 

 "Steady"

"Pulse?" 

 "82 BPM"

"She's a bit in shock right now" 

 "Noted"

I was only shocked because I'm overwhelmed by the amount of people around me. "Everyone clear the room." The man said again. "Dr. Chaerok, let the family know she's woken up."

Now I was confused. What was going on? The man speaking turned to look at me. "It's okay, now. Everything looks good. We just didn't think you'd wake up."

WHAT KIND OF DOCTOR TELLS THEIR PATIENT THAT THEY THOUGHT YOU'D DIE!?

I opened my mouth to give this man a piece of my mind, but I was completely stumped. I tried once more to force sound out, instead of words coming out, it was just a mix of weird noises. He nodded his head at me, knowing that I was trying to speak.

"No need to rush words. It'll be alright."

"W-where..." I forced myself to finally say. My voice was weak sounding and in pain. The doctor was watching me now, stunned that I was able to get words out so early after waking up; also showing a little concerned. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be talking, having known that I just woke up from the longest nap of my life. I didn't care though. "W-where is he?" I continued. Now the doctor looked confused.

"Where is who?" He asked me.

I took a breath, preparing myself to speak once more.

"Where is my Seungmin?"
