8:54 p.m

The car ride home was silent, mostly due to the fact Misun fell asleep. She didn't lean on Heeseung this time but on the side of the window. Heeseung felt bad he didn't go with her. He let Misun go by herself, knowing that there was no way to stop her and the danger that she had encountered.

He looked at her legs, there were scratches all over them. She was wearing a black skirt, so she must've scarred herself from climbing the crates. Heeseung couldn't bare to look at them anymore, so he took off his jacket and placed it on top of her legs.

Heeseung then waited patiently until they arrived back to the building. When they finally got back, the driver beat Heeseung into helping Misun out of the car. He also walked her to the front door. He noticed she was heading to the stairs and stopped her, "Wait, we need to take care of the scratches on your legs."

"Oh, I didn't even notice them." She responded with a soft voice. That voice.

"I'll help you." Heeseung continued to walk her to infirmary and aided her into sitting down. The nurse came up to her and checked the basics, her heartbeat, her eyes, and scratches.

"Good thing you're scratches aren't deep. I'll just apply some ointment and you can rest here for a little if you'd like." The nurse told her with a smile.

"Thank you." Misun responded. The nurse finished quickly with treating and patching up her scars. Heeseung was patiently waiting next to her. The both sat next to each other not knowing what to say. Misun shivered from the cold air that had been hitting her legs.

"Here, use this." he handed a blanket to her and earned the treatment of silence from her.

Heeseung was playing with his fingers, "You were scared, weren't you?"

"I was, but it didn't really matter if that was the end for me." She said, making Heeseung have a clear face worry. Why would she say that?

"I should've gone with you." He responded.

"It's fine, I-" Her words were caught off by him. "No, once I heard the gunshots, I became so worried so I looked for you."

He continued talking, "By now, I hope you realized that we both have merciful sides. I mean yes, I do hate you, but was still worried. You can hate as much as you want, and I'll do the same, but we both need to be there for one another."

"Thank you, Lee Heeseung and for giving me a shoulder to cry on earlier." She genuinely thanked him.

"Yeah, I think you got snot on me from earlier." he said.
