Cover // txt beomgyu

thank you

my eyes widened from those words. i couldn't believe my ears. but before i could say aything, she whispered again.

"p-please.. you c-can't pull us up. i-i don't want you t-to be hurt. i-" her breathe was erratic from the pain she's enduring

"never. i won't lose you again taehee.. not like this." i tried to pull us up to no avail. sweat trickled from my temples. my fingers were slowly slipping.

"p-please beomgyu" she pleaded.

tears were starting to fill up my eyes. i didn't notice people were calling for us. then a voice that's very familiar to me shoutted, "they're over here!" a hand grabbed mine just before it slipped and some men in uniform hauled us up. both of us. our hands still intertwined. they took taehee and layed her down on the gurney bed. i fell to the ground, all the energy left in my body evaporating. i saw them put her into the ambulance before tending the wounds on her frail body. i stood up and rushed to enter the ambulance to be on taehee's side. as i held taehee's bloodied hand my vision started to become blurry as i looked at her pale face. her eyes were closed, and her breathing was still erratic as the paramedics cleaned, applied ointment and bandaged her wounds. they hooked her to an iv drip and forced air into her lungs.

"taehee-ya, it'll be okay." i tried to comfort myself more than anyone. i held her hand tight in my palm squeezing it and holding it close to my body.

a drop of tear dropped from her still closed eyes as her hand grew cold.

i was too engrossed in her that i didn't realise the ambulance had stopped. the door opened revealing hospital workers moving taehee to another bed and rushing her straight to the emergency room and everything that went after that was a blur. i remembered seeing a man running to the hospital looking frustrated and scared out of his wits. his large eyes and defined features moulded to an aggitated expression. he seemed familiar.

"b-beomgyu.. h-how is she? how is taehee?" his deep voice shook my whole being.

i could only stare at him. helplessness pouring out of my eyes and tears started to form in my eyes. "i'm s-sorry, hyung." taehyung hyung squeezed my arm and patted me on the back.

"it's okay. it's not your fault. i heard everything from the principal already."

a few moments later, an immaculately dressed couple came. they came up to taehyung hyung and hugged him. the woman who i perceive as his mother cried. her body quivering against taehyung hyung's body. taehyung hyung put his hand on his mother's head as she patted her in an effort to calm her down. the sad eyes of his father lingered and he realised my presence. i bowed at him. looking down as i was unable to look in his eyes with the shame that i felt for failing his daughter.

i was waiting for any feeling of distate or loathe burning deep within him to erupt in a form of screams and shouts. i braced myself as he took steps towards me. but instead of a slap i felt his palm softly land on my shoulder.

instead of a scolding i got comforting words from him "we already know what happened. it's not your fault. we're gonna take legal actions towards what yuna had done towards our daughter. thankyou for saving her."

instead of the cold scrutiny i believed i deserved i felt a fatherly warmth casted upon me. i continued to stare down guilt burning within me. anguish clawing itself out of the darkest pit of my soul. i bit my tongue as i held back the tears that were threateningly close from spilling out. i have to keep my composure.

"i'm very sorry, sir. i should've protected her from the beginning. if i had protected her.. "

"what's done is done. we couldn't do anything about it." he cut me off.

the clinking of heels coming closer as i knew tgat taehee's mother came up to me. i slowly looked at her and regretted it. her pained eyes reflected taehee's. but at the same time it showed greatfulness and a glint of hopefulness. "thankyou. for saving our daughter."
