“Baby, where are you?” He laughs over the phone as he shivers. It had been already 20 minutes since you told him you were on your way. The restaurant wasn’t too far from where you were, but you were taking forever… and he was standing out in the cold.
“Almost there! Don’t wait for me, go inside-“
“No it’s okay, I’ll wait-“
“It’s cold outside. Don’t be silly, Jung Daehyun… I don’t need you getting sick.” You scolded him over thephone as he laughed. “It’s not a laughing matter. Please go inside. I’ll be there soon.”
“I’ll wait, _____.” He shivered again, burying his face a little deeper into his warm scarf. “Hurry! I can’t wait to see you!” Daehyun said happily over the phone as you in turn laughed.
“Okay, okay. W-Wait! What are you-“
“Huh-“
“N-No! You shouldn’t be crossing yet! Wait, please!” You screamed over the phone. He immediately knew you weren’t talking to him.
”_____! What’s going on?!” Daehyun shouts, everyone on the street turning to face him. He looks up when he hears a car honk blaring. “_____?!” He looks at the direction and immediately he recognized it was you. “______! What are you-” Daehyun shouts loudly, but it was too late.
The phone line goes dead in his hands as he shakes his head and panics. Daehyun runs from the front of the restaurant to the accident, his feet hitting the cold earth as he let the cold wind hit his face.
There was screaming and crying. He fell to his knees when he realized what had happened. Right before his eyes, you were struck by a car. He was standing only a few hundred feet from you, and there you were now, laying on the cold pavement, chest rising slowly, a pool of blood surrounding you.
“Mommy!” Daehyun looked at the child, being tightly embraced by their mother. He had run out in the middle of the street to catch up with his mom, and you had run out to stop him, getting hit by the oncoming car instead of the child who was pushed out of the way. He crawled slowly to you and lifted your head into his lap.
”______… ______!” He shouts as he touches your cheek gently. Your eyes open weakly at the sound of your name being called. The familiar voice, the warm feeling you felt.
“D-Daehyun…”
“Oh god. Oh god, ______, baby, please! Please hold on-” The woman held onto her child tightly, talking on the phone fast as you heard ambulance sirens coming from afar. “O-Oh god, please!” Daehyun holds you tightly, his hands shaking when he realized how fast you were losing blood.
“D…Dae..” You murmured his name quietly before feeling your eyes shut.
“Please don’t go! I need you to stay with me! Please stay with me!”
-
“… ‘kay..” You whisper, your breathing becoming ragged. It was getting harder to breathe. The ambulance still sounded so far, Daehyun’s voice sounding so far away from you. He clutched onto your hand and squeezed tightly.
“H-Hang in there!” The man staggered out of the car and Daehyun looked up at him murderously.
“She ran out! I-I didn’t see her-“
“The child was out in the street! Would you have hit him?!” Daehyun shouts angrily at him. “If she dies, I’ll-“
“D-Dae…” You gasp out his name as he stops yelling immediately. You shake your head weakly as the ambulance finally arrives. The medics take you immediately onto the stretcher as Daehyun shouts.
