Fake Love (Jaemin X Female Reader)

25. How Are We Gonna Fix This

Y/N's POV

I ran back down the stairs sobbing like a cry baby and my body shook violently as I tried to take breaths in between my sobs. To be honest, I wasn't even thinking. All my mind could focus on was Eunbin and I was allowed my body to take over and lead me to wherever it wanted to go (which I was pretty certain that it was taking me towards Eunbin).

I rushed around the last corner of the corridor before the school's entrance came into view and instead of seeing the entrance, all I saw was someone's torso before I rammed straight into their chest and went tumbling to the ground. I let out a sharp shriek as I hit the ground and more tears pooled out of my eyes.

"What the hell, Y/N! Are you okay?" Jaemin said as he slowly stood back up.

I, on the other hand, scrambled up to my feet and started to run down the hallway again without so much as even acknowledging Jaemin. I was too desperate, too scared, too anxious to think about anything other than Eunbin. I was struck with terror as if it were a lightning bolt and nothing was going to make that feeling go away until I saw Eunbin.

Not until I saw that she was still breathing at the very least.

When I got near to the school's entrance I could see her. I could see her lying dead-still and flat on her stomach as blood pooled around her. Her eyes looked like they were closed and she looked cold and lifeless.

My heart sank even further and I let out a loud cry for help. I ran up to Eunbin and stopped dead in my tracks when I was practically hovering above her. I was about to cry for help a second time but I stopped when I heard heavy footsteps of someone rushing towards me right before a voice yelled, "holy shit!"

I turned around and saw the horror take over Jaemin's features when he saw the sight in front of him. Without waiting for even a second, Jaemin took out his phone and immediately phoned for an ambulance.

I didn't quite know what to do as I watched Jaemin yell into the phone for help. All I could do was stand there and cry as I watched my best friend lie motionless on the floor with blood pooling all around her. I was frozen.

I felt useless. I couldn't move to phone for help. I couldn't touch my friend because I wasn't a paramedic or doctor and I knew that if something like this happened to never touch the person. I couldn't do anything but wait until someone came to help and it made me feel completely useless.

The feeling of not being able to do a damn thing to help my best friend, who I thought was already dead, caused me to suddenly break down and I collapsed. I sobbed loudly as I just starred at Eunbin's lifeless body not knowing what to do. All I could do was contort my face and wail in despair as I looked upon her through my blurred vision and screamed her name like a broken record.

I suddenly felt a pair of arms being wrapped around my body as I was brought into someone's chest. Well, not someone's chest. Jaemin's chest. I allowed myself to sink into his comfort as I let out everything and he tried to soothe me as much as he could.

Soon the paramedics came and took Eunbin to the hospital but I was still a crying, sobbing mess on the floor where Eunbin had been and Jaemin still had his arms wrapped securely around me. He didn't even try to tell me to stop crying or try to move me up off the ground, he just allowed me to cry my heart out while comforting me.

Eventually, I stopped crying and Jaemin helped me get up to my feet, but still held me in his arms for extra support, which, considering the state that I was in, I needed.

"I'm sorry," was all I could mutter to the boy who was holding me up so that I didn't fall.

"You have nothing to apologise for, Y/N," he reassured.
