"What are you doing later?" Chen's muffled voice asked. He obviously sounded tired. He wouldn't tell me why though.
"Uh, nothing much, why?" I replied, flipping through the television stations.
"Just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out, maybe go to Lotte World."
"Really?" I asked, forgetting what I was watching on TV.
"Yeah. Something tells me you've never been before."
"No I haven't. I'd love to go." I smiled.
"Great. Get dressed and I'll pick you up in a few."
"Okay." I responded before hanging up.
Quickly, I changed into some comfortable clothes, settling on a white tank top and short sleeved flannel and jean shorts
"Where you going in such a hurry?" Haleigh asked.
"Chen's taking me to Lotte World." I smiled happily.
She raised her eye brow. "You've been spending an awful lot of time with him...I thought you were going to hang with me while you were here!"
I blushed and looked at her apologeticlly. "Sorry. I promise we can do something together. How about you plan something okay? And I promise I won't back out."
She smiled. "Alright."
My phone vibrated, letting me know Chen was here.
"I've gotta go. He's waiting."
"Don't have too much fun." She teased.
"I think I'm gonna puke." I half joked as I held my stomach.
"It wasn't that bad. You've just got a weak stomach." Chen teased as we walked around the park.
"Says you who kept squeezed the shit out of my hand the whole ride." I shot back, smirking.
We then got in line for the House of Mirrors, taking a break from all the roller coasters we'd been riding.
Chen's phone began ringing loudly as we waited in line.
Sighing, he answered.
Not wanting to invade his privacy, I tuned out his conversation, focussing on the children who were playing a few feet in front of us.
A warm hand placed itself on my shoulder.
I looked up, seeing Chen look...conflicted.
"Everything okay?" I asked.
He bit his lip and leaned in close to my ear. "You trust me, right?"
"As much as I can for only knowing you a month." I admitted, confused by his words.
"My friend's been hurt. I need you to come with me to help him." He pleaded.
"S-sure." I told him, unsure of how I could help.
He took my hand and dragged me towards the car, speeding out of the parking lot before I could even get my seatbelt on.
"How bad's he hurt?" I asked. "What happened?"
"He-he was shot." Chen muttered darkly, darting through the streets like a mad man.
Shock ran through me. "The fuck?! How the hell am I supposed to help him?!"
"Don't you know how to treat bullet wounds?!" He shot back.
"Well, yeah, but he needs a doctor! I'm just a med student." I replied.
"He can't go to a doctor or a hospital." Chen growled.
I decided to stop pushing him for answers and focused on what I would need to do to help his friend.
