daeun woke up in the battered car in a confused state, her brain not comprehending yet another serious car accident.

her heart was racing and she could hardly breathe. breaths became erratic and a surge of panic coursed through her.

she looked to her left and there was soonyoung. he was unconscious, blood pouring from his head, his arms, and—oh god—his legs.

her brain had created a slideshow. the horrifying memories of seeing her beloved little sister dead next to her. her father bleeding from any available vein and artery and yet never answering her calls. seeing the lights of the ambulance but wondering why didn't i hear the sirens?

she was comparing the two accidents, and because of the outcome of the first, daeun cried and screamed for soonyoung.

she was scared, so scared she had yet to realize that her seatbelt was stuck and her leg had been pinned by a piece of metal. she had yet to notice how much blood she had lost and dipped into unconsciousness just as soonyoung regained his own.
