MC POV
Your thoughts were spinning and your throat felt dry, you watched as the love of your life stood on the thin edge of the building. You watched as his gaze drifted from Zen and Yoosung to you. His features softened and you could see a tear fall from his metallic orbs. Your eyes drifted to his blood stained shirt as he stretched out his arms, but quickly returned to his gaze. He didn't listen to anyone, not even you sometimes (Although rarely), so why is he listening to this hacker?! There has to be another way, why was he giving up so easily?! Was this a joke?!
You were quickly proven wrong when your partner yelled something directly at you, but your ears were ringing so loud you couldn't hear anything other then the rapid beating of your heart. You saw him fall, and as the dark abyss swallowed him whole you struggled against the Hackers tight grip. It didn't matter if you were in danger any more, you thought. Nothing mattered anymore, you mustered every ounce of strength you could to break away from the hacker, who seemed to easily release you from his grasp.
Your throat was on fire and you soon realized you had been screaming. Your senses started coming back to you as you staggered toward where he fell ignoring the Hacker, Zen, and Yoosungs looks of disbelief. However you didn't get far, what felt like an eternity was only a second.
A man wearing sunglasses and bright blue locks came rushing through the elevator doors leading a swarm of men in helmets and protective vests.
V.
Immediately the men ran toward the Hacker who seemed to have given up his fight as they tackle him to the ground. Zen and Yoosung were still in shock but cried out in unison "V!"
He spares a look at them and nodes before leading a smaller team of men behind him toward you. The men swarmed around you as one started messing with the wires connected to the attached bomb. V's face came into view through the chaos.
"MC, thank God your alright." You heard him say in a whisper, or was it a whisper? You still couldn't form a clear thought.
Ignoring V's presence, you struggled against the men reaching out your hand to where your fiancé once stood. You struggled with all the power you could muster against the men which caused some of them to have to hold you back, including V. But you didn't care, this wasn't reality anyway.
In your struggling and screaming you heard one of the men cry out "ALRIGHT IT'S OFF BUT IT'S GONNA BLOW!"
The moment felt like a blur. The vest that was once attached to you was rapidly ripped off of your figure and thrown over the buildings ledge. Everyone on the roof ducked for cover while V and two of the men forced you down, covering your shaking frame.
The vest burst into a symphony of fire, debris, and smoke in the air. A deafening Boom screamed in your ears as you felt the steaming heat that swept over you like a wave of fire.
A few moments past and you felt the men stir above you, they returned to there feet swiftly with the two men leaving to assist the ones dealing with the hacker, who's face was now glued to the ground in defeat.
V stayed by you however, he said something but you didn't pay attention. You laid there staring up at the stars and moon that betrayed you. When the stars started to blur together and a sob escaped your numb throat, you decided to trust the villainous hope that pledged the back of your mind. Maybe you had been imagining it? He was the smartest man you knew, so maybe he planed the fall? He could have landed on his feet like Elizabeth or any cat would?
You had to confirm it for yourself.
Slowly, you attempted to get up, V rushed to help you which you neither accepted nor ignored. V put your arm around his shoulder and his around your waist holding you up as you numbly walked, leading the two of you toward the edge.
You where one step away from looking down toward the truth. Zen and Yoosung appeared by your side in a second with tear stained faces, all you could make out from their blubbered speech was a couple I'm sorry's and he loved you's. You then noticed their attention drift from you towards V, who Zen wasted no time in informing.
You couldn't see V's face but you could feel his grip on you loosen. You slipped out of his hold and made the extra step alone. Your hands griped the edge of the building till your knuckles turned white. You were absolutely terrified of looking down and what you might find. You needed to know if the venomous hope that filled the cracks of your despair were correct, that he wouldn't actually leave you like this.
Slowly you tilted your head over the edge, the smoke from the bomb blurred your vision but you could make out a small truck. It was parked in front of the buildings entrance, it seemed to be filled with trash…? You also noticed the ambulances that consumed the street below you. You leaned over the rim slightly to get a better look, your attention was brought to a stretcher holding a dark figure disappearing into one of the ambulances. You watched as the vehicle raced down the street that seemed so small to you.
You watched intently as the ambulance left your vision, was that him…? Was he in that ambulance? Was he…ok…?
You let more of the toxic hope seep into your thoughts. You felt a hand on your shoulder, leaning your head to look at it's owner you saw Zen's Amber red eyes looking at you with a small hopeful smirk. You couldn't allow yourself to relax however, not until you saw him with your own eyes.
You hadn't noticed Yoosung and V had moved to sit beside you, holding the same expression as Zen. You felt your head spin as your surroundings blurred, he had to be ok…he had to be.
You stood up on your wobbly legs and set your target on the elevator, determined to confirm with your own eyes his well being. You cursed as you felt yourself losing consciousness, you could hardly feel V and Zen holding you up or hear Yoosungs nervous chatter. Your body felt heavy, your legs gave out first and then soon your eyes. Just before you lost consciousness you saw a herd of figures with white coats rushing out of the elevators toward the four of you.
You tried to fight, to reach the elevator and find Jumin, but your body refused, and your eye's fell shut as you let the darkness consume you.
Jumin POV
My head was throbbing as I slowly regained consciousness. My first realization was this wasn't my bed, slowly I opened my eyes blinded by the yellow lights above as I scanned the room. There was an IV attached to my arm, an empty chair next to the bed and a large window showcasing the bright city.
I was at a hospital…? But why?
I wiped the sleep from my eyes and ventured to sit up, only to be greeted with a sharp pain coming from my side. I lifted up my shirt to reveal my torso covered in a large white bandage. Memories began to flood my mind, that's right…I jumped.
How am I even alive right now?!
But I didn't have time to dwell on that thought because everything started to spin.
Where is she?!
Ignoring the intense ache of my side I jumped out of the hospital bed, ripped off the IV's and stormed out the room. I was desperately searching for anything, any clue to show me she was living and breathing.
The hall was vacant, there was a hospital room every few steps I took. Frantically I started scanning the windows in search for her "Y/Hair Color" locks, for any trace of her existence.
I didn't need to go far before I spotted her peaceful form resting on one of the snow white beds. Wasting no time, I opened the door and was by her side in mere seconds. I could hear the faint beeps echoing off the monitor indicating her heart beat. I sighed in relief, I wasn't going to lose her. It was alright, she was going to be alright.
Gently I reached my hand to hold hers., immediately feeling her warmth consume my icy palms. I heard someone else in the room but I couldn't take my eye's off her, I was afraid she'd slip through my grasp again.
"U-um sir? Visitor hours have passed…" a small but firm voice said from across the room. Still watching her sleeping figure, I whispered "She's my fiancé, let me see her." I seemed to have won the small argument because the next thing I heard was the door shutting.
I studied her face like it was my first time witnessing an extravagant painting with all the answers to my life. Guilt swept over me as my eye's rested on the deep cut on her cheek. I had all the money in the world and yet, I couldn't save her from the horrors of that night. I prayed for what felt like the billionth time for her forgiveness.
Gradually I lifted my other hand to caress her cheek, gently rubbing my thumb over her wound. It wasn't long before her eyelids fluttered beautiful "Y/Eye Color" orbs into view.
"My darling…" I said with a massive smile and tears swelling in my eyes.
She blinked a couple more times before her eye's grew big, quickly she sat up. And with tear filled eyes her hand flew up to cover her mouth in disbelief.
"Ju-Jumin!" She choked out before taking her hand and placing it gently on my cheek ignoring the tears falling from her eyes when she whispered full of confusion and joy "It's you, your alive…"
I held her hand caressing my cheek and moved my forehead to rest against her own, in a desperate voice I whispered "Please, please forgive me…I'll protect you from now on. You'll never go through the horrors of that night again, I promise. I'll make this up to you anyway I can just please…forgive me…"
I heard a sob escape her lips before a series of tears made their way down her cheeks, it pained me so much to see her cry. Pulling her into my chest I wrapped my arms tightly around her, "I'm sorry…Shh it's alright, MC nothing is going to hurt you ever again. I promise."
After a moment her sobs calmed down, I pulled her away from my chest and started kissing the remaining tears rolling down her face. Causing a giggle to erupt from the girl, which in turn, caused me to chuckle as well.
She took a deep breath, "Jumin, please, don't you dare ever do that again. I was so scared…it's not your fault I was kidnapped…but please don't risk your own life to save me…" She said her "Y/Eye Color" pools staring into mine.
All I could do was smile at her, "MC, I would jump off a billion buildings, if it meant you could be happy." She smiled back at me and chuckled "Well, that wouldn't make me happy so don't do that." I acted relieved as I grinned "Aye aye captain!" causing her to giggle even more.
After her chuckles subsided she looked at me again, now with a curious face "But…how? How did you survive that fall?"
I sighed, I wasn't quite sure myself. But I had a theory, "I think…I think I landed in the garbage truck…? It softened my landing that's for sure. I think Assistant Kang ordered it to be moved there, and also the ambulances as well. Both saved my life, I should thank her." I saw her nod profusely, she always encouraged me to show my gratitude towards others. Which I had to admit, they seemed to appreciate it. But something was still bogging my mind, "I faintly remember hearing a substantial explosion from above me…it wasn't the..."
"Bomb…? I'm afraid it was." She finished my thought, I could feel my eyes grow wide, with urgency in my tone I uttered "They got it off you in time? Are you hurt anywhere?!"
She giggled at this "No no everyone was fine; V was actually the one who saved us all. He showed up just after you fell with a team of people who knew how to defuse a bomb. I'm not sure how he knew there was a bomb there but…"
I was relieved to hear that she was alright and nobody was hurt. But this did spark my curiosity, I remembered the text Luciel sent earlier, "Oh that's right, V went to Rikas apartment to try and find clues on the Hacker…I guess the bomb was the same one from the apartment. He must have put the pieces of the puzzle together and brought a bomb squad to you." She looked at me with understanding "Oh, that makes sense then we should thank him as well." I nodded in agreement.
I squeezed her hand in my own, staring into her deep "Y/Eye Color" orbs before whispering "I won't let this happen again, MC. I promise, nothing bad will happen to you."
She looked back at me with that smile I never got used too, slowly I closed the distance between us, careful not to overstep boundary's. I gently pressed my lips to hers, immediately feeling her leaning into the kiss.
After a moment we broke apart, I took the opportunity to whisper "You are my universe" and in an almost inaudible voice she replied "I love you too Jumin."
I went in for another kiss.
