Be careful who you love

College year one-3

Nothing to say here. Almost all of the story is in Arin's p.o.v except for occasionally but I'll inform you in case that ever happens.

"Oh my gods Areum." I hold her hand to my head and start crying. She actually died. "A-Areum?" I heard Taehyung behind me. He came to her immediately. I could finally look back. I look back at the guy with the gun to almost vomit. He was in pieces with a head, body, and limbs torn apart. I looked back at Taehyung in fear.

He was crying holding Areum's hand. His bloody hand. He turned towards me angrily. "This is all your fault!" He stood up shakily and cornered me, until I backed into the wall. He put his hands on both sides of me against the wall. I saw blood on his mouth. He must have hurt himself fighting. I was suddenly aware of the blood on his hands. I looked back at the guard, or guards, since he was technically in pieces.

I looked back at him, and he was glaring at me, with an anger I'd never seen before. He raises his hand to punch me, and I close my eyes waiting for the impact. It never came, except that the wall was shaking. I open my eyes to see his hand going through the wall. Right next to my face.

It was clear he wasn't ordinary, by how he pulled apart a guy with a gun and then punched a hole in the wall looking like it didn't hurt. I looked back at Areum.

I stifled a sob. "Oh my gods. She's-She's" He went over to her.

I crawled to Areum. Her hands were at an unnatural angle, and tears were streaming down her cheeks. I wiped her tears and set her head straight. I put her hands back into an unnatural angle. Her feet were straight.

Taehyung finally moved. He looked at me. I flinched. "Why are you crying? You hated her." He asked. I shook my head. "I don't hate anyone. And an actual person is dead. A human being is dead. A life is gone. Any innocent life gone is sad."

He gestured to the guy now in pieces. "Even him?" I shook my head. "I said innocent." He moved Areum's hair out of her face and placed a kiss on her forehead. He picked her up bridal style and moved to walk out of the room. "You coming?" I shook my head. He looked at me concerned. I almost scoffed.

"You ok?" I nodded, even though I can't walk.

Then the authorities came in. They said I needed lots of medical help, loaded me onto a medical stretcher, and took me to the hospital. I fell asleep.

I woke up to a beeping sound. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. "Just five more minutes" I said and tried shifting. A pain shot through my back. Never mind. No shifting. The nurse came in and saw me. "You're awake?" She ran to get the doctor.

"You're finally awake?" I see the doctor. I nod weakly, but it hurts. "Easy there. You were hurt badly. The young man outside said it was the guy with the gun, but we wanted to hear your statement." I was able to speak, albeit weakly. "Yes. The guy with the gun had hit me severely." The doctor nodded. "We'll get more of a statement later. For now, rest well. There's also a young man outside to see you. Shall I let him in?" Taehyung. I was about to shake my head, but instead just said "No, I'm tired." The doctor nodded and left.

A few minutes later, the door opened. It was Taehyung. The beeping sound got faster. I guess it was my heartbeat. Taehyung noticed. "Calm down." My heart beat lessened, but still not a lot. He walked closer to me. "L-listen. I haven't said anything about the gun man."

"Have you been asked about the gun man yet?"

"I am going to be asked about it later."

He walked closer to me and looked me in the eye. I found that I couldn't look away.
