The Tales of Angel and Devil

"Halt!" Mr. Jung gives the order for the survivors.

"Taehyung-ah, Taehyung-ah," Yerin slaps half hard on Taehyung's cheeks. Polices arrest Namjoon. Namjoon only looks at died Jimin weakly. One of his brother gone. And the other brother..

"Taehyung-ah, hold on!" Yerin slaps him again.

"Yerin-ah," Taehyung calls her.

"Eo?" Yerin holds her tears.

"Uljima. Nan gwaenchanha," Taehyung caressed Yerin's cheek.

"Then don't close your eyes. Stay with me!" Yerin forces him.

"Appa! Call the ambulance, ppalli!!" Yerin shouted again. This time, she cries really hard.

"I will not close my eyes. Stop crying. It hurt me more," Taehyung pleads.

"Talk to me," Taehyung orders Yerin to do so.

"Eo, eo," Yerin nods.

"Let me talk first. Akh!" Taehyung holds his pain.

"No, no. You don't have to talk. I'll talk."

"Andwae. If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have time."

"No, no! Don't talk like that! You won't go anywhere. Please don't leave me!"

"Yerin-ah. Nan mianhae. I'm sorry.. for not looking.. for you. I never hate you. I.. forgive you. I know.. you were not in your right mind.. akhh.. on that night. But still.. I don't go out to look for you.. when I was still in Daegu," Taehyung tries his best to hold his pain.

"Arasseo, arasseo." Polices are coming near them one by one and they hear it too. For several officers, that is the first time they see Yerin cries.

"I'm sorry for not fulfilling my promise. After I leave you, I kill people. I didn't keep.. my promise.. to not going back to my old life, yet I still went. And this is how we met," Taehyung continues. Yerin tries to stop the blood but it is still bleeding.

"Where is the ambulance?!" Yerin shouts.

"It's okay, Yerin. Please listen to me," Taehyung pleads.

"I'll listen to you but let's stop talking about the crap! You can apologize when you are better! Talk about something else!" Yerin shouted over and over. She is not in her right mind.

Taehyung grips her hand. Feeling his cold hand tore Yerin's heart apart. His hand was not as cold like this! It's not supposed to cold like this. It used to be hot.

"Taehyung-ah," Yerin cries.

"Don't shout, honey. I'm okay," Taehyung tighten his grip to hold his pain. Yerin cries more.

"Few days ago.. I really want to leave that hell.." Taehyung starts to cry. "..and find you.. but I can't. You'll be in danger if.. I do so. I.. tried to escape.. so many times.. but always fail. That's why I know, no matter how far we run, they will always find you. I want to keep you save. I hope you will understand it."

"Ne, I know, I know from the very start why you didn't come to me. That's why I was about to look for you."

"But you were caught in an accident and was bring back to Seoul, right?"

Yerin nodded.

"Yerin-ah, you.. almost lost your life because of me. I hope.. akh!" Taehyung holds his pain at his best.

"I hope you will not waste your life after this. Don't waste your time.. on useless people like me. Move on."

Yerin shakes her head from left to right.

"I can't live without you. Please, don't leave me this time," Yerin begs.

"Yerin, the ambulance is here," one of his father's subordinate told Yerin. Yerin give some space for the medical helper to lift Taehyung. Taehyung's pale face becomes paler.

"Yerin-ah, I want to be with you. Can you follow me?"

Yerin nods.

"Jung Yerin," his father holds her but Yerin pulls her hand back harshly. Then, without a word, she leaves the place and get into the ambulance.

The medical helpers do their job.

Taehyung coughing but what comes out from his mouth is blood. The medical helpers do their best to stop the bleeding and do whatever necessary. Although Yerin used to learn some medical things, but she cannot think straight right now. Taehyung takes out his oxygen mask.

"Yerin-ah.."

"Sir, please don't take out your mask," the medical helper try to stop Taehyung.

"Taehyung-ah, hajima!" Yerin stop him too.

"Ani.. ani.. Just a little," Taehyung denies the help.

"Wae?" Yerin listens to him, so that he will wear the mask back sooner.

"Don't listen to Namjoon hyung just now. He is lying. Your father.. just.. want you.. to be save."

"Arasseo, arasseo. Wear the mask, back, ne?" Yerin helps Taehyung to wear the mask back.

Once again Taehyung cough. And he vomits blood.

"Akhh.." Taehyung cries silently. He tries to be strong in front of Yerin, just to make sure that Yerin is okay and doesn't cry. But the stinging pain.. Ah, how should he describe it? The bullet totally stinging. He can even feel the bullet is in his body.

"Neomu apeuda (It's totally hurt!)" Taehyung finally sigh and his grip on Yerin's hand tighten.

"You must be strong. Kajima. Jebal," Yerin pleads. Even though her hand is hurt too much because of Taehyung's grip, but she ignores them. Seeing how hard Taehyung endure the pain is much more painful.

The medical helpers do their best to save Taehyung until they reach the hospital.

Sorry for teasing some of you 😉
