"thank you."

As the call ended, Taehyung immediately thanked the man in front of him. He hesitated for a moment, handing the phone back to the man, before heading to the elevator, his red eyes and tears clenched in his sleeve.

"under..."

It was already the fifth time he'd let out a deep sigh. Taehyung briefly pressed the up button, staring blankly at the elevator floor number slowly changing.

It was because of my younger sister, whose stomach was torn by a sudden, flying knife. During a snowball fight in the white snow, blood streamed before my eyes in real time. Even as every circuit in my body snapped, I picked up my younger sister and ran straight to her.

The crunching of snow, the occasional thud of thin branches. For a few seconds, a horrific scene flashed before my blinking eyes, and tears streamed down my face. If I didn't cry out loud right away, I felt like I'd never be able to speak again.

After running for quite some time, I made my way through the white snow, my hastily stamped footprints everywhere, along with my brother's hot blood. Even as my throat ached from lack of breath, I felt nauseated. Without looking back, I ran even faster.

I arrived at a nearby small hospital and was transferred to a larger hospital. I was rushed straight to the operating room and underwent emergency surgery. My heart felt like it had dropped somewhere.

Even after ending the call and getting into the elevator, the voice kept echoing in Taehyung's ears.

“Don’t worry, Taehyung, I’ll be there soon.”

“Mom will go quickly and stay with Taehyung.”

Taehyung's back reflected in the elevator mirror was soaked with blood.
