I ran through the dark streets, until my lungs hurt from all the panting, and still went on.
I didn't stop, before I reached the skyscraper, my apartment was in, and quickly jumped up the stairs.
Breathing heavily, I slowed down in front of my door, unlocked it as fast as possible and stumbled into my small room, trying to get used to the darkness, until I heard soft sniffles, that stopped, when it got quiet in my flat.
But I still heard it.
I widened my eyes and slowly approached my bed, to lay down next to the small body, that was shaking like crazy.
"Yah... What's wrong, what happened?", I quietly asked her, but didn't get an answer.
I couldn't even hear her breathing anymore.
Was she holding her breath?
It took me a small effort, to turn her around to face me and place my hands on her cheeks, to pull her face up a little.
Her cheeks were wet and I was still shocked.
"You c-can't leave me..."
My eyes widened even more and I carefully caressed her cheeks with my thumbs.
"I'm not leaving you, what are you talking about?"
"Y-You can't leave me... alone l-like that!"
Her quiet sobs were starting to break my heart.
I didn't really know, what I was supposed to do, so I just let my hands wander down to her arms, as I wanted to push her away a little bit, to look at her.
And that's when I realized, that she had her nails buried deep into the skin of her arms, like her fingers were cramping.
I tried to keep calm, but it was so hard right now.
Carefully pulling her fingers away from her arms, I intertwined them with mine.
"I'm sorry, Mini... I should've told you.", I quietly mumbled and placed some small kisses on her hands, not realizing, how I called her right now.
Her sobbing got more quiet and I saw her eyes getting bigger, as she looked up to me.
"What did you call me just now...?"
Catching her gaze with my eyes, I silently stared at her for a few seconds, until I started smiling softly.
I placed my lips on her forehead and closed my eyes.
"Choi Mini... I know, why you could play my song so well..."
I felt her heart beating through the fabric over my chest.
Pulling her face up to me, I looked into her teary eyes and put my forehead against hers.
"Do you remember me...?", I whispered and gently ran my fingers through her hair, until she wriggled herself out of my embrace and placed herself on my lap, staring at me in complete disbelief.
