Heavy.

Each of my limbs felt so heavy, heavier than any weight jisung could've lifted at the gym.

Eventually, I find the strength to lift a finger tip, mustering enough for a my whole arm, and only then did I begin to feel the freezing temperature biting at my skin.

My eye brows furrow. What was going on?

As my senses slowly come back to me, I realize I was being shaken by a pair of warm hands, a muffling sound accompanying it. My body swayed limply.

Hesitantly, I peak my eyes open, feeling the flakes of snow hitting my face, melting as soon as they come in contact with my skin. And then I see a figure infront of me.

My ringing ears tune back in.

"S-seungmin- seungmin!" The frantic voice becomes clear, so recognizable but unheard of at the same time. Never had the tone of this voice been so... guttural.

My heart ached, to which I had no explanation for.

"H-hyun- Jin?" I blink a few times, realizing I was being held up by the olders arms and quickly regaining the strength to do it myself without his assistance.

When my eyes clear, I finally take in the face in front of me. One I hadn't expected to see, especially in the state it was in. Hyunjins hair was covered in white specks of snow, wet streams running down his red cheeks.

The beauty in his features, the parts that I would stare at for hours, the face where I could drone on about every mole and detail I was mesmerized by. It was all shattered by those tears.

My heart hurt so badly.

My eyes widen, through my weakness, I perk up, "Hyunjin? Why- why are you crying?" I lift a hand to reach up toward Hyunjins face, my body still shaking with each movement.

I was confused-

"A-are you crazy!?" Hyunjin grabs onto my shoulders, staring into my intensely eyes as he raises his voice, the sound still coming outshaky, "Do you know... how worried I-i was?!" He exclaims with a broken voice.

I keep my mouth closed, simply watching as more tears left his eyelids, leaving no time for the previous ones to dry.

Hyunjins face contorts, his lip quivers, before he push my hand out the way and wraps his arms around my torso, letting his head fall to my shoulder. I test my strength trying to hold his weight, feeling his body shake with small sniffles as I bring my own arms up to pat his back.

A mantra of 'your okay's and 'thank god your okay' escape his lips as he strengthens his grip. I could feel his tears on my neck, making me frown. Everything hurt.

I wanted to escape this madness.

"Don't cry- Hyunjin- it's okay." I mumble, blinking repeatedly as snow falls on my lashes. My mind still felt blank, the only thing I could process was the sobbing boy in my arms.

I hated it.

"You... always do this!" He cries into my shoulder, pushing himself further into my neck, "You s-should've texted me Minnie! Something atleast! I would've- I-I'm sorry for- for not being here sooner."

Reality had begun to hit me, images of the last moments before I fell into darkness. When I tried my best to push myself, I should've known better. I fainted hadn't I? And poor hyunjin found me. We were supposed to go on a date, but instead my stupid body decided to betray me.

It was supposed to be a happy day.

Hyunjin. He found me.
