" Maybe I should push you off this mountain" Hee-won wheezed behind gritted teeth, her nails digging into her knees, shoulders hunched as she reached into her pocket to stomach another tablet for her heart that was twisting painfully in her chest.
Being a sickly child, she had always been left out of physical activities, watching from the benches as her friends and classmates would run circles around each other, laughing and playing heartily. She had always envied it, the ability to do everyday things like running in the morning or playing a game of football with her peers. She had always been told too much strenuous activity was bad for her heart. The one time she didn't listen and had joined her friends in a game of basketball- Hee-won ended up in the hospital for three days. She had gotten better, slowly building her strength but hiking up a mountain with her ex to find his sperm donor of a dad was not making it easy on her fragile heart.
Hae-jo strolled to a stop, glancing over his shoulder to where Hee-won was keeled over into herself, swiping her sweaty forehead beneath the cool canopy of an oak tree.
"If you had told me we'd be hiking for over an hour I would've told you to fck off and book me into a hotel " she complained, her jaw clenching and cheeks flaming. Her knees felt like they were caving in, calves on fire and she had a hand propped against the bark of the tree to keep herself standing. She was glaring daggers into him. Maybe she should leave him, turn back and go home. Yeah, solid plan she thought.
"You know what, I'll meet you at the bottom" she huffed and went to dust her hands. She hadn't made it far when his voice called out to her.
''Just get on my back" he called and Hee-won span around in shock. He was taking off his jacket, wrapping it around his waist and ensuring the duffel bag was strapped over his chest and resting at his side. He waved his hand forward.
