"I-I wasn't as strong as I thought I was..." Dread flooded Minho's chest. "S-Seungmin-" "It turns out I'm useless after all," Seungmin sobbed, words barely forming as he struggled for air even with oxygen. "I can't- I can't-" "No," Minho cut in sharply, cupping his face, forcing his gaze back. "No. Listen to me." His voice softened, grounding. "We're turning around. Right now. We're heading back to Camp 4 together, okay?" Seungmin didn't respond. His eyes were unfocused. "Hey," Minho whispered, fear bleeding through. "Do you hear me, my love?" He swallowed hard. "We're going down. We'll rest. You'll be okay. You'll be strong for me, baby." His voice broke. "I can't lose you." - OR. two strangers meet on a mount everest expedition as their team sets out to conquer the tallest mountain in the world.
