.. Please let me save you

I was startled by the words I muttered out loud. What was I just saying ..

Come to think of it, I really just wandered out here on a whim .. It’d be a shame to just go back in ..

At this point, I decided I might as well just look around the neighborhood. I haven’t been here once since I became an adult, so I’ve kind of forgotten it .. and maybe, just maybe, I might run into you.

Wow .. it’s been forever since I’ve been on this street.

The street was just as I remembered it.

I kept walking, just letting memories surface. The café I used to go to with Wonhee, the convenience store that had disappeared, things like that—seeing them again after so long made me oddly emotional.

Wow, this crosswalk .. every time I used to go get tteokbokki with Wonhee, we crossed here ..

- Student!!! Be careful!!

..!!

When I looked up at the auntie’s shout, you were standing in the middle of the road. Like someone who’d just blanked out.

A hundred different thoughts flashed through my head in an instant, but my body moved faster.

..!

I ran to the road where you were and shoved you out of the way. Maybe because you’d gone limp, you fell back easily.

Ugh ..

You were lying there after I’d pushed you, and I ended up falling face-first on top of you.

For a moment, the relief I felt from hearing your heartbeat up close—proof that you were still alive—was enough, but then I suddenly realized I was on top of Jaehyun and hurriedly got up.

문하나

Huff .. y-you okay?

명재현 image

명재현

Yeah .. I’m okay. Are you hurt anywhere?

문하나 image

문하나

Uh, I’m fine!

Even as I said that, I hurriedly hid the wound on my elbow. But Jaehyun must have seen it, because he frowned.

명재현 image

명재현

.. You’re hurt.

문하나 image

문하나

Ah .. haha, hey, you almost died, so this much is nothing!

명재현 image

명재현

Wait here a sec

문하나 image

문하나

Huh? Hey, where are you going!

-

I followed Jaehyun and found a small pharmacy. Jaehyun came back out with disinfectant, ointment, and bandages.

문하나 image

문하나

I said I’m fine ..

명재현 image

명재현

I’m not fine. You got hurt because of me.

Your hands as you treated me were warm. It stung when you disinfected my wound, but I held still and bore it.

명재현 image

명재현

Moon Hana, right?

문하나 image

문하나

Yeah, that’s right! You knew already ..

문하나 image

문하나

Oh, more importantly, why were you like that in the road just now? You weren’t even looking ahead and were just standing there blankly ..

명재현 image

명재현

Ah, I have pretty bad orthostatic hypotension ..

명재현 image

명재현

You owe your life to me. Thanks

명재현 image

명재현

Still, don’t do that again next time. What if you’d died because of me.

문하나 image

문하나

You’re really cold .. haha, got it.

명재현 image

명재현

Fine.

문하나 image

문하나

Thanks ^^

명재현

No problem, then I’ll get going. See you on Monday.

문하나

.. Hey, wait a second!
