       I had collapsed on my couch, exhausted, from job hunting. I know I didn't do much walking, however I had a low stamina. I had just closed my eyes and then

        "SHIIITTTTT" I heard a voice scream.
   
        I quickly jumped up off the couch and ran to the window. Terrified, I was. I didn't know what had happened. I peered out the window to see who had made the loud noise. I saw a man. Not just any man. The same one I saw as I was entering my apartment.
     
           "SHIITTT" the man screamed again. He looked me straight in the eye and then ran. He started running like someone had been chasing him. Maybe he thought I was going to call the cops in him for public disturbance. The man seemed stressed, i felt the need to help him.

          I ran to my car. As i started it, i thought, why? Why did i feel the need to help this random man? I didn't care anymore, i wanted to help him. I quickly forgot that thought and focused on finding the man. 

       "THERE" i accidentally yelled out loud. Luckily, he didn't hear me, instead, he sat down on a bench. I ran out the car. Scared, terrified, anxious. All words that described what i felt. What if the man yelled at me. (i hated being scolded or yelled at) WHAT IF HE HIT ME AHHHHH. Fuck it, i don't care. The man needed help. I was simply gonna give him it.

      I got to the man and he had his eyes closed. I thought he just wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while, i was wrong. I shook him.Once. Twice. Then the third time. I was in shock. I had no idea what had happened to him. "Sir!" I yelled. "SIR!" I yelled again. I pulled up his eyelid and he still didn't wake up. I was even more terrified now. What if he's dead? What if people think I killed him? These thoughts kept rushing my head as I tried to wake him. 

      Finally, I had called an ambulance. It had only been about 3 minutes since he's been sitting at the bench. So even if something had happened to him, it wouldn't get so bad in that short amount of time.

      I hear the sirens. My heart is racing. The people get out of the ambulance and put the man on a stretcher. They quickly put him in the ambulance and drive off. However, one man stays behind. He asked me a bunch of questions.

  

  "Sir,what had happened to the man?"

   
"I don't know. All I know is he was stressed and started running. He may have lost his stamina and sat down on the bench, where he had blacked out."

 
"Okay,thank you." The man said as he wrote something down on his clipboard.

He turned away and as he was leaving "what hospital are you taking him to?" I Asked as I instantly regretted it. Why did I feel the need to ask? I wasn't gonna visit him or anything.

"Asan medical center" the man replied. He then left. I still dont understand why I went after the man.
I had this feeling in my gut, it was a weird one too. I felt like I had to go after him. It was like we had some sort of connection.

    As i start my car, I can't stop thinking about the man. I couldn't even describe the feeling I had.

   I finally arrive home, still having the man in mind. As I step out my car, I stop. Just stand there for a second. At this moment I had two choices; one, to go inside, and two, to get back in my car. This second felt like an eternity. It was impossible to choose. My heart telling me one thing but my brain telling me another. I was lost.

   I took out my key to my........
