Chapter Twenty-Six - Part of Me

|taeyong's POV|

I quickly begin CPR on Jaehyun, doing my best to stay calm. Again and again I push down on his chest, praying that he will come back to me.

That idiot. Why would he follow the car into the water?! He should've known that I would get myself out of there.

Gently, I open his mouth, pinching his nose I lean down and give him mouth to mouth.

I continue the chest compressions once more.

"Come on Jae. You have to breathe" I exclaim, my arms are beginning to tire but I won't stop until he is alive.

It doesn't help that my arm is in pain from where the bullet grazed it. I don't let it slow me down.

Any hesitation could be the reason for Jaehyun's death.

My tears are flowing at a steady rate now. I don't know how much longer I can hold back.

I'm panicking a little to say the least. The person who I love more then anyone else in this world is dead before me.

Dead.

"No, you aren't going to die" I say out loud, trying to convince myself.

Panic is the last emotion which I should let take me over.

"You can't leave me" The compressions slowly become weaker as emotion takes over.

"I need you. Please don't leave me. You're a part of me, I can't lose you. Fuck, Jae."

I urge myself to continue the chest compressions but I've lost my strength.

I pause for a moment as I wipe the tears from my eyes, clearing my vision.

That's when I hear coughing. Coughing.

I look down at Jaehyun to see him coughing up water. Immediately, I roll him onto his side so he can spit out all the water.

"T-Tae?" He stutters my name as he slowly looks towards me. "Did I save you? Before you know...Dying?"

I can't help but chuckle softly as I pull him into a seated position, wrapping my arms around him.

He holds onto me tightly as I my cries turn into ones of relief.

He's alive.

Jaehyun is alive.

"Why would you do that? Do you think your father would've hired me if I couldn't get myself out of a car beneath water?" I exclaim and he pulls away to look me in the eye.

"I freaked out. I thought that I'd lost you. I didn't want that to happen."

Shaking my head, I just kiss him.

"I did lose you. And I despised that feeling. Don't ever do that to me again."

He just smiles, pressing his lips to mine once more.

—|jaehyun's POV|—

Taeyong won't let me go. We have been holding each other on this muddy water edge for the past 20 minutes.

I must've scared him a lot.

I rub his shoulders, soothingly. I hate seeing him like this.

He winces and I pull away seeing his injured shoulder. I'd forgotten he was injured.

"We need to get you to a hospital" I state, my tone filled with concern.

"It's a graze. Nothing a bit of antiseptic and a bandaid won't fix" He denies the idea and I frown at him.
