song of the chapter:
under lie ~ kllo

if you asked taeyong what he thought about death, he would tell you it's inevitable and there was no reason to react as bad as so many people did. it was death and that was that. you seize to exist, simple.

that was until he saw jaehyun and the little girl swallowed by the bright swirling fire. taeyong felt as if his lungs collapsed and his breathing stopped by how much he felt himself screaming. the pain in his chest spread through his body, as if it was a drug in his veins.

he felt the person loosen their grip on him, allowing him to give them a final push off of him. taeyong rose to his feet, unbalanced.

"JAEHYUN! JAEHYUN! NO. NO." he screamed with all he could, running toward the flaming bus.

"taeyong, stop. it's not safe!" yuta yelled, securing his grip once again on a fighting taeyong.

"I DON'T CARE! LET ME GO! I NEED TO SEE IF HE'S OKAY." taeyong cried breaking down into yuta's arms.

taeyong body was close to giving up, fighting it's every urge to succumb to it's unconscious state. he felt his eyelids begin to close as he stared at the bus that was engulfed by large flames. he thought about their interaction earlier, how he should've kissed him deeper or how he shouldn't have said what he said.

jaehyun died thinking that he meant absolutely nothing to taeyong and that was what hurt the most. because it wasn't emotionless at all.

taeyong loved jaehyun.

in the biggest, most pathetic, and humiliating way.

suddenly, a dark figure interrupted the uniform red orange flames. taeyong used the very little energy in him to tear his eyes back open. for a moment, he thought he was already swimming in his unconscious because this was impossible.

a few hundred was jaehyun and the little girl, living and breathing, tattered in ashes, but alive.

"chanhee!" a woman at the doors of the emergency room called.

the little girl immediately recognized her and got down from jaehyun's arms to run to her mother. by this point, taeyong was halfway to jaehyun's defeated body.

"JAEHYUN!" taeyong cried, seeing jaehyun's unbalanced body begin to fall to the floor.

taeyong managed to catch him before he hit the floor. as soon as jaehyun realized who's body caught him, his own went limp underneath him, making them both hit the floor.

"I NEED A GURNEY! HE'S ALIVE." taeyong yelled wrapping an almost unconscious jaehyun in his arms.

"t-taeyong." jaehyun whispered

"hey, it's okay. you are going to be okay. keep breathing for me." taeyong cried holding jaehyun's blistering hot body tightly.

"am i dead?" jaehyun spoke up a little louder.

"no, you're alive. and you better stay that way because i love you. don't you dare you dare die on me." taeyong answered, wiping his own tears.
