The sun would rise soon, I'd checked my phone it was nearing five-forty am. I'd been walking around and searching for over an hour. I'd called his name, cried for him, and all without taking a break.
"Hoseok-ie..." I whined, "My love where are you?" The pain, although still there, had become almost nonexistent, I was so tired and beat; succumbing slowly to the injuries I knew of and the ones that I didn't.
Suddenly in the distance I saw a figure. Lean and fit, much like Hobi's build. "Hobi?" I questioned, noticing a look of dirty white pants and a yellow shirt.
The man turned around, a fear stricken face, "Wil?" He questioned, "Willow?!" He said excitedly, running over to gather me in his arms, "Baby? How did you find me?! Are you okay?"
"I-I'm tired, Hoseok...and cold...I want to go home." I whines, he instantly picked me up, cradling me in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I was so ecstatic to have him back. Questions of how he'd gotten there fled my mind, exhausting taking over as he lifted me into his arms.
"C'mon, I think I saw some lights over here." He said, taking us through a portion of the woodlands.
"Hey! Who goes there?!" Someone shouted
"Help us! Please-It's my girlfriend, she's hurt!"
The people had come closer, "We're police officers, got called here. Is that your vehicle on the highway?"
"Yes! Yes it is!" Hoseok shouted
"Stay put! We're sending down some help!"
A breath of relief released itself from my lungs. A small smile imprinted in my lips as I closed my eyes.

In an instance, or what felt like one, I was moving slightly, the pain stopping my efforts quickly. I opened my eyes slightly to see a gleaming light, shining through white curtains that were slightly blowing from the wind. I was wrapped in white cloths and whatever I laid on was the most comfortable I thought I'd ever been in my life.
"Beautiful?"
I glanced over, Hoseok's eyes were tired but teary, "I'm so glad you woke up." He smiled
I gave a reserved smile in return, "Where am I?" I questioned
"Hospital...not too far from my parents-"
"Oh shit! Your parents," I tried to raise up, "We have to go see them-"
He shook his head, guiding me back down. "Absolutely not, they know you're in here and are just wishing you the best. I've also called your parents. They were wanting to see you but your dad can't get off work and you know since your mother can't drive-"
"Yeah...I get it." Used to my parents not making time for me. Used to being alone. Used to always being the child that they forgot about. It used to hurt, doesn't anymore. "And they're not upset? Your parents I mean."
