CROSSFIRE (got7 x Bts x monstax x svt )

(12)

I barge in, swinging the door open to see that Minho was casually watching TV with his mouth stuffed with food. The dimly light room with only the sunset shining over us. We stand there facing each other without a word, paused. Anguished vanished, leaving me overwhelmed with relief and happiness.

"MINHO!"

I Practically yelled as I ran up to hug him. He was stiff but soon melted into the embrace, time didn't affect us but eventually I pulled away from the hug, my senses came back to find my cheeks drenched with tears. Yet Minho just smiles as he wipes away the tears with his thumb receiving a smile from me. But the more I came to my senses I notice that his lip was cut and his face had small bruises that seem to be healing slowly and  a cast wrapped tightly around his arm. My heart sank at the sight.  "How - what happened?! Are you okay?" I rushed out the words, staring at him with wide eyes. He look down at his arm then back at me playfully brushing it off with a smile.

"I'm fine, it's nothing serious," his voice wondered off but gave me a comforting look. "I fell while I was helping people escape, I'm good." he gently said , lost in his own encouraging words. "But are you okay? I was worried when I didn't see you."

"I'm sorry" I apologized. I stare at the cold blanket  instead of him.He lets out a sigh and raises my chin with his hand.

"I worried but I knew you'll be safe besides you have Matthew and Jiwoo those two are hell when it comes to you" He grinned letting out a cheeky laugh.  

"Yeah..." I gently laughed. "Well, I'll be right back I came here right after work so I'm kind of hungry."

"You can have mine if you want" He quickly offer but just as fast as he offers, I decline. "No it alright, you need to heal beside its yucky hospital food" I laugh as he continues to chew on his food sulking.

I close the door and lean against it. The tired tears stream down, at this point it's endless tears I can't seem to get rid of. They're still missing. It's getting harder to not break down at the mention of their names. I miss them. Its tearing me apart but I won't give up even if I have no trace. I wipe the tears with my forearm.

After my snack trip I find a decent vending machine but lost myself on the way. "where am I? " . I wandered around, looked around but my eyes caught something else. It was the same man from the day I was admitted, he was talking to two other guys. Should I? Yes? Maybe? Before I can decide I found myself already making my way towards him. "Excuse me" I say politely and he turned around along with the other two he was talking to. They looked serious and sharp narrow eyes. I guess I interrupted at a bad time. The strange guy excused himself from his group and walked away from his group which I followed. "You were the doctor that assist me when I was here not too long ago." I asked as soon as we stopped. "I was hoping you could tell me how I got to the hospital. My memory of that day isn't too good " I stared at him but he remained mute with his lips sealed tight. We stand in silence I stared at him awaiting for an answer.

" I'm sorry I don't know anything before you came here." He finally said. I dropped my eyes but then noticed his clothes. Just like the first time I saw him he was wearing casual clothes unlike the uniform of the other doctors. Does he really work here? Curiosity welled up.

"You should rest properly" He asked me, bringing me out of my thoughts ,I stare back at him .Yet his face was something else, it's saying something else. An empty stare but soft at the same time.  "You're still recovering. Be careful and keep up with your medicine" I was dumbfounded at his sudden questions. 

"Ne" being the only thing I manage to say. With that he walked away from our conversation, leaving more questions, I know when someone is hiding something from me.

My Heavy feet walked in defeat. At least I found food, I thought. Afterwards I found my way back to Minho but by the time I manage my way back the sun has completely set and the moon began to illuminate the dark sky and the white lights brighten the blue walls of the hospital.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Minho asked as he sets down his phone.

"I got lost" I laughed trying to push away the thought of the odd conversation with the nameless man.

--------------------------------------

Time flew by as we started to catch up and how Minho complained about the service. I got lost in the lame jokes of ours, I glance at the clock, it's almost midnight and I still have to walk home. "Shoot I have to go now. "I said causing Minho stop laughing and to turn at the clock. "Will you come tomorrow?"

"Of course" I said confidently as I widen my smile.

"Promise?" He held out his pinky, waiting for me.

"Promise." I lock pinkies with him giving him a small wave afterwards.

On the way home it was chilly and the moon was illuminating. The stars were countlessly, shining it's own path for other to see, forming a sea of lights. The spring breeze was fresh on my warm skin. I continue to walk on the main street it was still awake with a few people. Despite the sweet night a cold shiver went up my spine, the greasy feeling of uncomfortable creeped up crawling over me. I turn around to see no one behind me. I walked but it felt I was carrying another soul along, I began to speed up trying to find other people but the street was empty . I look behind me again and barely caught a glimpse of a silhouette crawling back into the shadows.

I felt a cold object hit my cheek making me fall to the floor.

"Are you alright?" A stranger ask as he extends out his hand.

"Yes Thank you" I hesitantly grab his hand and he helps me up back into my clumsy feet. I look back behind me to see that person was gone. "Are You looking for someone?" the stranger ask while search around.

"Ah no, I just thought -never mind. " I end the thought quietly. I don't think 'someone might be following me ' is something to say right now. "Where you heading?" I stare at the stranger, confused on what to responded."umm I- I " I stuttered avoiding eye contact with the stranger.

"forget it, walk home safely." He simple said before walking past me, waving a goodbye, continuing to look ahead.

Finally I made it home yet I wished the walk lasted a little longer, the night was pretty and the apartment isn't the same.  I grab my keys to open the apartment, the loneliness bounced off the walls and echoed in the empty hallways. The heavy sigh left my lips, I drag myself further inside the place but I froze. My eyes filled with amazement and wide with surprise.

"Hyungsik?!"
