"Are you ok? Are you hurt?"
Yun ask, while examining you around with concerned eyes.
"I knew you twisted it, after that bandit held you."
Yona says, looking guilty as she recalls what happened.
"Back then.."
She gently reaches her hand to touch your swollen ankle.
"You knew that man was going to grab me and hold me hostage so you pushed him and getting your ankle twisted along the way which made the man angry and try to hold you hostage in my stead.."
The teen says, the memory making her heart ache and even more guilty for getting you hurt.
"I'm glad that you elbowed and kicked him though."
She adds, wiping her moist eyes as she sniffles.
"I told you to stop with the risking your life thing."
You wave your hand, chuckling a little and flashing a smile.
"If I get hurt in the process of protecting you, that's definitely alright with me since it makes me happy and proud of myself when I do so."
You state patting the red haired's head.
"Don't worry, Yona. I won't die so easily."
You say, voice gentle and soft while Yona listens quietly.
"I will be by your side until the end."
The young girl sniffles again, getting emotional while she pulls you into a hug, her heart feeling warm at what you said as she was completely grateful to have such a friend by her side.
"I feel like a third wheel."
Yun deadpans which made you and Yona both laugh and him to flash a smile at your remarkable friendship.
"Let me help you get up."
The apricot states, putting an arm around your waist while you put yours on his shoulder.
"Thanks, Yun."
You say while he just nods his head, face red again as Hak stared, expression dark and cold along with Kija beside him.
"We need to find some river or whatever to get your ankle cleaned up before I apply some medicine and massage it."
You blink your eyes when they all instantly agreed to Yun's statement, causing you to shake you head and catching their attention.
"There's no need for that. I don't want to hold you guys back in searching of the blue dragon."
You sigh out while you run a hand through your hair as you stand up, wincing a bit from the shock and pain your foot caused.
"We've wasted enough time fighting those bandits."
You say, trying to be nonchalant while Kija catches your staggering form.
"Your well being comes first, [n/n]."
The others nodded in agreement at what the white haired man said.
"And you're not holding us back at all, [Y/n]!"
Yona exclaims as you earned a flick on your forehead from Hak which made you to glare at him.
"Get yourself healed first or else you'll really hold us back with that ankle of yours."
He says while you rub your forehead in silence since they're all correct.
