Features || Junhan

"Nari! Why did you step forward?!" Junhan shouts as tears escaped his eyes, his holding onto my wrist as he tries to pull me up. He was trying is best to pull me up with all his strength.

"Let go." I say with monotone. "Please.."
"Never!" He grunts, now using both his hands to pull me up.

Why is he stopping me?

"Noona, please, come back up!" He cries out as his face slightly turned red. Even more tears fell down from his eyes onto my head.
Although I was dangling from the tall building, I could still stare at his features forever.

He stands out so much.

"Hyeongjun.. let go of your noona." I whisper as I use my free hand to brush away his hand from my wrist.
"I'm going to protect my noona at all costs because I love my noona!" He shouts, pulling me up with all his strength. He sucessfully brings me back onto the rooftop, then pulling me away from the ledge as he hugs me tightly.

"Why did you jump?!" He shouts as he cries into my neck. He held me so tight, as if I was going to disapear the moment he lets go, or even if he loosens up a bit.
I could feel my cheeks heat up after I process what he just said a few seconds ago.

"Talk to me, noona.. I'll always be here for you no matter what. Even if it takes a lifetime, I'llve here for you." He says as he cups my heated face.

"My older brother Nawoo died today because there was a shooting at his workplace." I tremble. "He died half an hour ago in the hospital we were at before."

"I'm so sorry for your loss, noona." He says as he pulls me into another hug. "I know we've been a bit awkward since the kiss at the hospital, but I'm seriously sorry for your loss. But please know suicide isn't the answer to anything, please."

"This is the second time I'm loosing a brother!" I sob into his shoulder. "I hate myself! Why did I become a fuckin band member?! Why couldn't I just have a normal life with my brothers?!"

"Noona, calm down or else your blood pressure it going to get high." He says as he sits me down on the bench, looking through my bag and taking out the oximeter. He clips the small device around my index finger and reads the results.
"112 beats." He says as he takes the finger pulse off my finger, placing it back into my bag. "Let's go down to your studio where you can calm down."

I shake my head as I slowly walk towards the ledge once again, leaning on it as I look at the city.
"Noona, don't even." He says as he holds onto my wrist once again.

"I want to be with Nayoon and Nawoo." I say. "Hyeongjun, it seriously hurts so much. I saw Nawoo covered in blood when he was being rushed into the surgery room. He was staring right at me with his bloodshot eyes! He was literally reaching out for me, I swear-"

I was then cut off with the feeling of Junhan's lips on mine once again. He lifts me up onto the ledge and holds me in place by wrapping his arms around my waist.
The euphoric feeling was back. Suddenly, all my tears stopped, all the car sounds on the road were gone, the crickets were quiet.
The kiss didn't last long since Junhan quickly broke it.
I remained in my spot, stunned and numb as I slowly touched my lips.

"You talk too much sometimes."
