"What the hell?! Taehyung?!" I exclaimed. I tried to stand up again but my efforts were in vain. 

"No, no, no, don't try to move, you've probably broken a few ribs!" Kim Taehyung said as he knelt down in front of me and untied the chains on my bloodied wrists. Kim Taehyung. The Kim Taehyung; the rude one, the one that spit on my couch, that Kim Taehyung! He reached for me, but I recoiled.

"What do you care?! What are you doing here?! Were you following me?!" I asked, scooting away from him little by little, he scoffed and dropped his hands. 

"Wow, I just saved your life and all you do is yell at me? What no thanks?" he asks. I scowled at him. 

"Did you plan all this? Hmm!? You wanted to get on my good side, didn't you?!" I shouted in his face. I knew I was being childish and irrational but I was confused and scared and hurt. "You thought, let's get someone to beat her up and then I'll swoop in and save the day!" I threw my arms up in frustration only to get piercing discomfort in my right side. "Aish! Apayo!" It hurts! 

Kim Taehyung instantly supported me by holding me by my elbows. My cheeks flushed in embarrassment. I looked at his face, his current expression only filled with worry. 

"I'm fine, just help me up," I said. Taehyung nodded, grabbed my arms and pulled me up gently. Very gently. 

I stumbled and tripped on my own feet, falling into Taehyung's body. He stood his ground and didn't budge. I sucked in a breath and backed up, regaining my balance. He bent down again and picked up my purse, handing it to me without making eye contact. My legs felt dead and my ears were ringing from hitting my head. 

"I think I should take you to the hospital," he said to me in a deep whisper. I gave him a dirty look. 

"No! I'm fine, I just need to go h---" I suddenly felt dizzy, my throat was dry and I felt a drop of blood rolling down my forehead. Taehyung's face contorted into unease as he moved towards me. "I'm. . .fine. . ." my words were slurring. 

"Song Mi-young!" he cried out. I was falling. 

Falling. Falling, and then everything went black.
