On The Verge Of Death

Part 6 : Saved

The thoughts are written in italics.

"Did someone saw or recognized you?" Byun asked as soon as he met Jieun after coming back to the forest with the army and his hyungs.

"No but I met a man. I don't suspect him though."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, tae opp-*cough*-th-that man was not suspicious."

"I don't know about whom you both are talking about but you, Jieun are surely looking suspicious. Are you going to betray us or something?" Jimin said as he overheard their conversation while passing by.

"Jimin hyung, even if she does it won't change anything. We have everything under our control." Byun said proudly.

Jieun decided to just walk away. She was tired of telling them that she is loyal to Avaloria. She had thought that Byun was behaving so nicely with her but didn't bothered to expect anything from him. So, it didn't hurt when he quickly joined Jimin in falsely accusing her.

With the rays of the rising sun, Avaloria's army was also ready to attack. The attack was unexpected but Eldoria fought back with it's full strength which was not even half of Avaloria's because Avaloria had come prepared.

Seokjin was having a hard time as while fighting, by mistake, he went far away from the place where the war was going on. He had been separated from the others and was surrounded by Eldorian soldiers now.

I am surely going to die today. There are at least, hundred soldiers here. The others don't even know I am here.

Even though there were too many, Seokjin still fought them until his sword fell from his hand as someone striked at his hand. All the scenarios of him getting captured, tortured and killed by them came to his mind but what he didn't expected was Jieun to come and stand in front of him preventing him from getting stabbed.

Seokjin saw Jieun getting stabbed and memories from the previous war ran into his mind but before he could panick he saw Jieun swiftly killing all the enemies after getting stabbed.

"Seokjin-ssi, don't just stand there. You are going to get yourself killed."

Seokjin came back to his senses and began fighting again. It was easy this time, with Jieun fighting with him as well. Soon all of them were killed.

Where the fight was going on, there were trees all around and a river.

"Jieun! Are you fine?" Seokjin said as he ran towards Jieun who was going towards the river to drink water.

Her throat had been parched after this fight. Even though she had superfast healing powers, it still did hurt. She was just not showing it. People are often uncomfortable while showing their pain to people whom they don't trust. Jieun was also the same. She didn't wanted any of them to know she was suffering.

"I am fine. The bleeding has also stopped. The wound is on the right side, so it's safe. If it would have been on the left, then there could have been problems."

"Bleeding has stopped...? Th-that's good. It happened so fast."

"Yeah. Perks of being a speci-" Jieun paused while saying this. She hadn't told anyone about her being a special.

Okay, why do I have to be this stupid. Now he will ask questions. What am I going to-

"Perks of being a...what?"

"Umm...ahh..Strong! Yeah....Perks of being strong. I am strong. Yeah."

"You said something else, Jieun." Seokjin looked at Jieun with confused eyes.
