When Roseanne regained her consciousness, she felt a throbbing pain in her back as she began to survey her surroundings. Slowly, she tried to turn her body only to realize that she was lying on the ground and something was pressing on her body. She furrowed her brows and tried to wriggle free only to realize that she was trapped under Park Jimin who had his arms wrapped around her protectively.
"Hey..." Roseanne tapped on his arms, her eyes trying to make out of their surroundings. If her guess was right, they were knocked out the road by what seemed to be a landslide. But it hadn't been raining, so what could have caused a landslide?
"Hey." She tapped on his arms once again.
"Hmn..." Park Jimin let out a moan.
"Park Jimin m, can you hear me?"
"Hey! Are you alright?" Roseanne gently shook his arms. No response. Roseanne wanted to get up, so she tried her best to roll him over from her but she realized that it was not going to be easy. That's because Park Jimin had a big built from regularly exercising. Compared to her petite frame, the man looked like a giant.
When she finally succeeded, Roseanne immediately sat up and tried to retrieve her phone from her pocket, only to discover that it is no longer there. She immediately searched his pockets and was relieved to find that his phone was still there. Roseanne pressed a button on the phone and the screen lit up. That was when she realized that the screen was cracked.
At least the phone was still working. As Roseanne didn't know the password to unlock his phone, it was still in locked mode but just the light on the phone was useful enough.
Roseanne focused the light from the phone on her surroundings and immediately furrowed her brows when she discovered they were no longer on the road and they seemed to have fallen off a cliff or a valley. All she could see were rocks and pieces of wood littered around them.
She lifted her head to look at the night sky and was a little appeased that she could still see the stars. At least, they were not trapped in some cave or something.
She then focused the light on the person lying motionless beside her. Fear instantly leaped out of her when she saw his ashen face. Roseanne's cold hands immediately reached out to check his pulse.
'Alive'
Roseanne let out a sigh of relief before she trailed down the light down his body to check if he had sustained any wounds. Then she discovered that his right leg was bleeding.
Without any second thoughts, Roseanne ripped her shirt and made a make-shift tourniquet and tied it around his wound. She then secured it with a piece of stick that she found nearby. Her movement's were fast and agile, her face was calm and serene but the occasional scrunching of her brows revealed her worries.
After making sure that the bleeding had slowed down, Roseanne covered him with his coat before she got up to walk around and survey her surroundings once again.
"Hello?" she called out, her voice a little hoarse. Then, she felt a small pellet of water had dropped on her face. It was immediately followed by a brilliant shock of white light ripping across the sky.
'Damn' she cursed inwardly when she realized that it had started to rain. 'Why does it have to rain at times like this?'
Roseanne quickly made her back to Park Jimin and slowly moved him away from the open area, towards a space that seemed to be untouched by the falling rain. It would be a perfect shelter from the rain.
After much half-dragging, half-lifting, Roseanne finally succeeded in shifting him to that space and she laid him to rest against a rock. That was when she discovered something bizarre.
His back was damp. She immediately used the phone to check out his back and widened her eyes to see it was littered with wounds. The back part of his once white shirt was drenched in blood and was in tatters. In a flash, Roseanne crouched down in front of Park Jimin, straddling him before she hugged his body so it could rest against hers while she continued to examine the wounds on his back.
What she didn't expect was his consciousness to suddenly return.
"If I have known that being wounded would make you hug me like this, I would have gotten myself injured that night we first met," he whispered, surprising Roseanne. However, she remained composed and continued to check his wounds.
"Don't move. You have lost a lot of blood and your wounds are still bleeding" she said before gently laying him back down against the rock.
"Yeah... I have mild hemophilia," he calmly said.
"What?"
"Apparently, it's hereditary."
"I..." Roseanne lowered her head as a lightning lit up the sky, revealing her troubled expression. "I'm sorry," she muttered,sitting down on the ground beside him.
"It's not your fault," he said. "You should take the coat and cover yourself with it because it's getting cold in this rain. It won't take long before people find us here."
"We are in the middle of nowhere and it's dark and raining. They won't even know that we have not returned to our villa," Roseanne said as she sat down next to Park Jimin.
"They will... my watch has a tracker that will update my secretary with my latest location every five minutes. Han Jisung will know that something is wrong if he sees that if I have not moved for a long time in a place like this," he explained. Sensing that Roseanne was awfully quiet, he added, "It's a part of his job to monitor my location. I have enemies in this country. So..."
"You protected me," Roseanne interrupted him. "That's how you got your wounds on your back..."
"It's because you hugged me during the fall." Roseanne added in a voice was soft.
"As your future husband... It is my duty to..."
"Oh shut up!" Roseanne hissed. "You are so stupid for protecting me. You know that you have hemophilia yet, you still protected me! You are so stupid!"
"If loving you is stupid then... I am indeed very stupid."
A single tear instantly fell from her eyes as she let out a long sigh. "Stupid man! Everyone who had ever protected me is now dead. Do you want to become one of them? Do you want to die while saving me?"
