Insanity

The Aftermath

A bright light shone onto Woohyun. Woohyun was motionless. He couldn't move. The fear had paralysed him and he was unable to react. At the last second, he feels his whole body jolt forward onto the sidewalk due to a force.. and it goes black. The car flips over and lands upside down on the other side of the road; pieces of the car were scattered all along the road, creating the trail that the car had just taken. The sound of car alarms filled the streets surrounding the road. Passers by gathered around, and looked on in horror as to what had just happened. The sound of cries and shrieks of horror are among the commotion of the crowd. No one can think straight or process what they've just witnessed.

Woohyun is knocked unconscious from the impact with the pavement. He eventually wakes; his vision blurred and a high pitched continuous beep fills his eardrums. Blood trails down the side of his head from the wound on his head, dripping down onto his clothes. Sweat trickles down his face and neck, from the nervousness of what's just happened. His clothes are ripped, and he can't feel his arm... He cannot focus or see clearly. After having some time to recover to become aware of the situation It suddenly hits him.

'Where's Myungsoo..?'

He staggers onto the road. His ears are ringing and his wrist is throbbing. A silhouette can be determined by Woohyun's impaired vision from his injury. Woohyun staggers over to the motionless figure on the ground and offers his assistance in any way he can, despite his own injuries. His heartbeat quickens. His breaths are shallow, quick, and wheezy. He falls down to the floor in despair. He lets out a ghastly shriek and tears leave his face like rain falling during a storm. He shakes uncontrollably, and he grabs and pulls at his hair in frustration and anger as he realises who the victim of the accident really was..

Myungsoo.

Myungsoo lies motionless on the ground. His hair is covered in gravel and dirt from the road; his jeans are ripped and covered in dirt. His leg is twisted, and he is just barely awake. His blue eyes slightly open, and his perfect mouth was grazed and damaged. His hands were covered in grazes, and his blood was trickled onto the road.Woohyun holds him in his arms, despite the pain in his wrist, and reassures myungsoo it'll be fine. 'Myung... it'll be okay!' Myungsoo is struggling to breathe. He manages to pull a sentence together. 'I'm sorry.. to be... a burden...' Woohyun finds a giggle within his quivers of fear. 'Don't be silly. You couldn't be a burden to me.' Myungsoo shakes his head in denial. 'No. You are better off without me.' He stops and pulls his arm up to brush away woohyun's tears. His tears are warm. Woohyun holds his hand on his face. Myungsoo continues! 'Everyone is. But..'

Myungsoo struggles to speak. He is becoming weaker. Myungsoo's eyes gently close;his hand on Woohyun's cheek drops to the floor with a thud, leaving Woohyun's trembling grip. Woohyun screams to the heavens for Myungsoo's recovery. Woohyun's tears trickle down onto Myungsoo and sit on his jawline. Woohyun starts cleansing Myungsoo's face with his tears.

He didn't realise how soft and delicate Myungsoo's face was until now. This made him even more unstable. Woohyun has to pull himself together and help, otherwise Myungsoo won't survive.. he checks for a pulse. There's a pulse!. It's there, but it's very weak. Too weak for him to survive much longer. Woohyun calls an ambulance in despair and panic, and keeps his priorities on Myungsoo rather than himself.

Woohyun cradles Myungsoo until the ambulance arrives; Myungsoo lies motionless cradled in his arms. Woohyun speaks to him softly, reassuring him that things will be okay. He begins to sing. 'I have no one to blame but myself...' on a loop. The guilt of what has just happened is consuming him piece by piece. He strokes Myungsoo's face; his fingers follow Myungsoo's cheeks down to his jawline. The blood on his face has began to dry. All Woohyun can concentrate on is Myungsoo's beaten and bruised boys lying in his arms. The sound of the ambulance can be heard in the distance. Woohyun let out a huge sigh of relief. 'Everything will be okay now Myung. Just hold on just a little while longer. Promise me?'

They're both rushed off to the nearest hospital. Myungsoo is rushed into theatre straight away for his leg, and Woohyun is treated for his arm. Now the waiting game begins. Woohyun sat alone in the waiting room, praying for good news. Woohyun drifts off into a deep sleep, his head slumped over his bruised shoulder. His hair covers his delicate eyes, and he finally feels at peace after everything.
