Mayday Parade: Terrible Things
He Is We: I Wouldn't Mind

Jun's POV

Screaming, shouting. I woke up to screaming and shouting. What was- what was happening? Was everything alright. Is she alright?

When I opened my eyes Minghao was over me. "Jun! Wake up!" He said too quickly.

I sat up quickly looking around, dazed. "What happened?"

"It's fine," Minghao said quickly, "don't worry about it. Mingyu's got her. We're going to the hospital."

"Who's we? Who's hurt?" I asked still barely awake.

Minghao shook his blonde head. "DK, Tayten, Mingyu and I. They're loading her in the van. I have to go."

"If it's not Tayten and it's a her it's Lilo." I gasped slightly, "she's hurt isn't she!?" I nearly yelled scrambling out of bed.

"Stay here!" Minghao yelled, pushing me back into bed. He then headed for the door, shrugging on his jacket as he went.

I heard the apartment door slam. By then I was already on my feet. I was shrugging on a tank top and shimmying into black jeans. I didn't even care that it was freezing cold outside. Winter could bite at me all she wanted and I wouldn't stop. Not now. Not when she's hurt. I didn't see a jacket on my way to the door, so I decided it was irrelevant. I snatched my black beanie as I walked down the hall.

"Hey, Jun, stop!" S.coups was yelling, trying to walk me back to my room.

"No! What happened! Why is everyone telling me to stay put like some dog! I have to go to her!" I yelled, I didn't even care how mad I was now. Did my petty feelings even matter if she was hurt somewhere? I made Tayten a promise. To be the best boyfriend I could be to her. Maybe I never got that far, but I was still going to keep that promise, whether Lilo wanted me to or not! Stupid article or not I- I.

"Jun, she won't want to see you!" Jeonghan argued helping the leader back me away from the door.

I shook my head, "so what? It doesn't matter. I made a promise and I have to keep it whether she wants me to or not!" I argued back. "Now please, just let me by, I don't want to get mad at you." I said as calmly as I could manage.

Placing a hand on Coups' shoulder Jeonghan pulled our leader aside.

"Thank you," I breathed heading for the door.

"Jun!" Jeonghan called as I was nearly out the door, winter winds nipping at my exposed arms. I looked over my shoulder expectantly. "What was your promise?" He asked.

I looked at my hands, "to love her the best that I possibly can." I replied closing the door. I was flying down the stairs as fast as I could manage. I tripped down the last few, falling on my hands. But I didn't care. It didn't hurt that bad anyways. I was flying through the streets. The cold wind bit at my cheeks and stung my eyes. Tears were streaming down my cheeks and I could feel an aching in my lungs, but I pressed on.

When I reached the hospital I searched halls and floors frantically. I called Minghao and Tayten half a dozen times each. But they never answered. Then I spotted a familiar face... Mingyu. I slid to a halt right by him peering in through the window in the door he was sitting by. I was winded and my legs ached but I was so close.... "Jun, how'd you get here?" Mingyu asked, surprised to see me.

"I ran." I replied simply, staring at her. Her hair was flowing around her like a beautiful blonde halo. She was sleeping so peacefully. No markings were on her pure face, and I was relieved. She looked okay.

"It's two and a half miles from the apartment...." Mingyu breathed in astonishment.

I nodded my head. "I know," I said while pushing the door open, rushing to her side.

"Jun... how did you-" it was Tayten trying to speak to me.

I closed my eyes trying to breathe, while holding Lilo's cold white hands. "Can I have the room?" I asked.

The three didn't hesitate or ask any questions... they left as I asked. I ran a hand down the side of Lilo's face, exhaling out of relief. "You scared the hell out of me." I murmured. I knew she wouldn't reply, not yet. But I would stay here, kneeling on the floor till she did. Till she could hold my hand as tightly as I was holding hers. And look at me with those beautiful green eyes.

[AN: Sorry to interrupt, but if you are following the playlist you should hopefully be starting the second song here. If you're still on the first one... damn you read fast, just pause it and begin the second song here. :)]

When I reopened my eyes she was awake, staring at me. I saw a tear run down her cheek and fall from her nose. Lilo. She sat up while I stood frantically. "You're okay!" I said, relieved. I reached over the bed, hugging her tightly. I kissed the top of Lilo's head. "You- you scared me so much." I breathed in her scent and it gave me closure.

She was hugging me back, and sobbing. "I'm sorry." She kept crying. Over and over again.

"No, I'm sorry," I said holding the sides of her face. I pressed my forehead to hers. "I swear I'll never hurt you again. Ever."

I grabbed her hands, falling to my knees beside the hospital bed. I kissed her white hands carefully. That's when she turned mine over, running a finger delicately along the small cuts. I smiled, "I ran here."

"Why!? It's not that bad..." Lilo murmured looking at me with beautiful concern.

I laughed to myself, "I'd run as many miles as it takes to make sure you're okay." Before Lilo could say anything again I said, "I met Tayten for coffee. I did. But it was to ask her if I could date you. I had those flowers for you. She had taken me to all your favorite places so that I could get it right. She stared me down in that cafe threatening me with what would happen if I hurt you. I would never meet someone else. I found the perfect girl. Why would I even dream of messing it up." I stood up and sat on the edge of Lilo's bed. I put a rough hand on her cheek. "Maybe it's too soon. Maybe I'm not getting enough oxygen to my brain. But I'll say it now and I'll say it hundreds of times till you can't stand to say it back." I struggled for sweet oxygen. Then I finally said those words. "Dear god Lilo, I love you." And I finally kissed her.
