"Minji!" Hanni yells from afar, crying at the top of her lungs. Yujin held her close to prevent her from running towards the two. Karina cried on Ryujin's arms who also cried silently.

Haerin's eyes stared right at the light brown eyes that is just as surprised as hers. The squelching sound is heard when Mingyu pulled the wood out causing the blood gushing out of the wounds. Haering felt the taller stagger forward and she held her so she won't fall.

"Minji.."she calls to her in a weak, whispering voice. She's in shock, this can't be real..

She held her closer, her hands feing her shirt getring drenched with blood. She places her hand on the wound causing Minji to gasp, she wanted to at least slow the bleeding.

"Minji.." she squeaks out, her voice hitches. Her hearbeat pounding against her ribs she could even hear them in her head.

Minji spurts out blood, tries to speak.
"Haerin.. what— I feel cold.." Haerin could feel it again. The fear of losing someone.

It was terrifying.

She's invincible but those she cares about aren't. They die.

Is Minji gonna end up like them too?

[IU'' Love Wins All]

Dearest, darling, my universe
Would you take me along?
To a place I can't dream
With my poor imagination

"M-Minji.." she calls for the fifth time, this time with a shaky voice.

"I-I haven't thought of.. *wheezing sound* doing this before.. but *wheezing sound because of intake of breath* " Haerin's looked into those beautiful soft brown orbs starting to feel heavy.

"Please, Minji.."

Far away in the universe from Earth to Mars
Will you please go with me?
Wherever it may be, an old loneliness
In search of its antonym..

Haerin's own breathing is also starting to get ragged, she's scared, her eyes swarming with tears. The sound pained and struggling sound of Minji, the sharp breath intakes, it was all too familiar to Haerin.

"Haerinie..I—" Minji calls her in her favorite nickname.

"No." Haerin cut her off and held her close. "Don't talk, Minji... we'll take you to the hospital—"

"—I just wanted to say, I love you." she slightly pulls away at that to see the other girl's expression.

Haerin's looked into her eyes and saw nothing but sincerity. The feeling was new, overwhelming.

For what fault
Must we be so
Together?

Someone loves her, her person loves her, Minji loves her. She once watched a drama about love countless of times and back then she doesn't understand what it really feels like.

She doesn't know how it feels to told, "I love you." And now she does, it was a fluttering feeling. But she wishes Minji said it in a different situation, not like this.
"I love you too, Minji." Haerin have never been so sure her entire life.
