"Taehyun?" Soobin hyung called me which halted Yeonjun hyung's punches.

Beomgyu was looking at me with eyes filled with emotions. Relief? Regret? Guilt?

"Taehyun, what are you doing here?" Soobin hyung said breaking the awkward silence.

"I-I wanted to sleep over but I think my timing's bad. Maybe some other time," I quickly walked away and halted a taxi.

I was about to get inside when Beomgyu grabbed my hand.

"Come with me," he said and pulled me away.

We arrived at the bus stop. Nobody is here since the last bus already passed by.

"What do you want?!" I shouted at him.

"Don't you have to go back to that lover of yours?"

"Taehyun..." he said with something in his tone.

Pain?

"I'm trying my best to forget you. Can't you just leave me alone for now, please? I may not look like it but I still haven't completely moved on from you yet..."

I was crying in front of him. I never cried in front of anyone after the day we broke up. Yet here I am showing the person who broke me how vulnerable I am.

There's something in his eyes... There it is again... Guilt. Regret. Pain.

Why would he feel pained seeing me like this. I must be seeing things.

He walked closer to me and hugged me tightly.

"Taehyun, I'm so sorry."

I missed this. His warmth. His presence. His voice. Everything about him. I missed him so much.

"I-I didn't mean to hurt you like that," he said with a shakey voice.

"I was just scared of losing you forever."

I pushed him away. I walked away from him, making sure there was at least a few meters distance.

"Bullshit! You're scared of losing me?! Then why did you break up with me?! Why did we have to end up like this?!"

Just then, I hear the sound of a horn. I looked to where the sound was coming from and there I saw a car speeding towards me. The driver was shouting at me but I couldn't understand what they were saying. I was frozen in place.

𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙚?

I closed my eyes, waiting for the car to hit me. But instead, I felt someone pushing me away from danger...

And that someone is now laying on the ground, covered in his own blood.
