Swimming Pool

@Taehyung [SH] Choa smiled widely as she rested her head in her hands, to hide the blush that was creeping up on her face. She didn't know where she got that courage to confess like that, but she was glad she did. She laughed as his siblings about his relationships, but when the conversation switched back to Choa and Taehyung's, she lowered her head back down with a nervous chuckle. "Kids will be kids I guess." Thankfully, a nurse came up to bring Taehyung back for his tests, and the three of them waved goodbye to him as he was wheeled out of the cafeteria. Choa laughed and covered her face with her hands when they went on singing that latest pop song. "I don't think it's that easy to ask someone out. Besides, I'm not sure if he really likes me that way. I mean, he's got plenty of female friends and fans, doesn't he? Maybe he's just being nice to me because I'm his noona." She glanced at the two siblings who, she had come to learn, were not as innocent as they looked. "Aish who would think cute little kids like you two could ask such a question? You're cheekier than your brother." Narrowing her eyes at them playfully, she reached out with both hands to mess with their hairs with a chuckle.

@Choa Taehyung's face became flushed. He hadn't really expected Choa to say yes like that. But then again, his sister was one who cannot be denied. 'Really? Yes! Finally someone likes our oppa!' His sister cheered quietly with his brother that made Taehyung scoffed. "Ya! You make it sound like I never dated!" Taehyung whined and his sister replied back with a straight face that that was the truth. His brother threw out sarcasm, 'Oooh, do you need ice with that burn?' His brother and sister high fived and Taehyung shook his head. He knew his siblings were happy that Taehyung finally has someone that likes him and not his usual one-sided love. 'Oh and to your question noona, yes I think my hyung will like you back. Right?' His brother answered with a side look towards Taehyung with a mischievous smile. "Yeah. Yup. Wait, what?" Taehyung's face was flushed and he suddenly felt hot. "Um, Choa noona don't pay much attention to them." A nurse came up to Taehyung and wheeled him away for his tests to which he was grateful for. 'He likes you. He really really really really really really likes you.' The siblings started singing the Carly Rae latest hit song. 'No but seriously though, I can see that oppa likes you. Why don't you two go out?'

@Taehyung [SH] Choa watched in amusement as his sister came over to chide her brother for glaring at them like that, thinking that it would be the end of the conversation since she was back. "Ahh I see." She nodded and inspected the can, glancing up to watch Taehyung drinking his with a huge grin on his face. The constant bickering between him and his siblings was entertaining, seeing how his siblings always like he was younger instead of them. Choa was sipping away quite quietly and contently until Taehyung's sister brought up that subject again. These kids really wouldn't let go of anything easily, would they? Choa's mouth opened and closed a few times; his sister had this innocence around her that made it almost impossible for Choa to lie or try to worm her way out, but Taehyung was right in front of them listening to their every word. "Mmm what if I say yes? What makes you think that I like him?" And with a quick glance at Taehyung, she leaned in slightly and chuckled, "and do you think he'll like me back?"

@Choa His brother wasn't satisfied with it and glared at the two elder ones. That was when his sister came by and told him to look down and stop glaring at them. She had brought back a tray of whatever the cafeteria was giving out which was actually quite a luxury of food. 'Oh, it's called Gee. Oppa likes it a lot too.' His sister answered Choa's question and Taehyung was surprised that his siblings still remembered it. It's been quite a long time since he had drank that drink. They got one for him too in the flavor of grape and Taehyung drank it heartily. He loved this drink. "I didn't know you guys would remember this." Taehyung was touched and his siblings were offended. 'Just because you were away for a really long time doesn't mean you're forgotten.' His brother spoke in a sense that has suddenly made him seem more mature. 'So, blonde unnie. Do you like my oppa? Like 'like like', hmm?' His sister asked and Taehyung rolled his eyes at them. But he didn't look at Choa as he waited for her to answer. If it was his sister that asked, usually the answer is yes.

@Taehyung [SH] "You're welcome." Choa smiled and sat down, reaching for her drink from the pile. "Nah, I'm not that hungry so it's fine." She inserted a straw and started to drink from the bottle, enjoying the feel of the cool liquid flowing down . Once Taehyung's sister left, his brother scooted over closer to him and presumably tried to whisper something in his ear, but he said it so loudly that even Choa heard it. Her eyes widened slightly as she watched Taehyung nearly choke on his soup, before shooting the younger a glare. His brother, however, simply ignored Taehyung and turned to Choa and popped a question innocently. Now it was her turn to choke on her drink. She swallowed hard and forced a smile out, chuckling a little for added effect. "Of course, we've been friends for quite a few years now." Then, seeing that Taehyung's attempts to stop his brother from going on failed, she turned to her drink and held it up. "Say, what is the name of this drink? I've never tried this before but it tastes really great. Did you pick this out or did your sister pick it?"

@Choa Taehyung smiled and nodded. "Thanks, noona." Taehyung said as he dug into the mushroom soup. He smiled and was thankful for the warmness of it. It soothed his throat and he felt all tingly inside. The siblings were enjoying their snacks and politely rejected Choa's offer in getting something more filling. "Don't mind them, do you want something from the cafeteria?" Taehyung asked her, thinking that she might be uncomfortable with the siblings' attitude. His younger sister got up and said that she'd get something more filling for all of them to eat. Once his sister was gone is when Taehyung's brother asked an uncomfortable question. 'So, hyung. Is this one for real?' Taehyung was pretty sure he meant it as a whisper but accidentally blurted it out that Taehyung nearly choked on his soup. He glared at the younger and signaled /not now/ with his eyes. The younger brother turned to Choa and asked, 'Noona, do you like my hyung?'. Taehyung's eyes widened and he nudged the younger brother. "Hey. Stop it."

@Taehyung [SH] "Ehh?" Choa's eyes widened a little at his question; she couldn't tell if he was joking or if he was serious, but it got her thinking. Previously she would have blurted out 'no' without thinking, but for some unknown reason, she found herself hesitating to answer now. "Mmm maybe..?" Thankfully, she was saved by Taehyung's two siblings, who bounded up to them the moment they entered the cafeteria. Choa smiled and followed behind as they led him to a table piled up with packets of junk food. She laughed at Taehyung's face when they told him the snacks were not for him, pushing a can of mushroom soup to him while hoarding the rest of the snacks. "At least you've got some mushroom soup. Do you need a spoon?" She got up and glanced over at the counter where all the utensils were, before turning back to the two kids and their snacks with a chuckle. "And are you guys planning to eat all that for lunch? Do you want anything that's more filling from the cafeteria?"

@Choa Taehyung was surprised when Choa said that she didn't mind. He had thought that she would be annoyed or at least uncomfortable with the questions and such. He hadn't expected her to be like that. Taehyung smiled a little. "So, if I were to ask you out, would you say yes?" Taehyung asked, asking it as a half joke and half permission and a little bit of curiosity to her reaction. Though, if one day Taehyung was serious about her, he would definitely be bringing this situation up again. His siblings waved towards them, they had arrived earlier than the couple and had gotten them a seat. His younger sister came up to them. 'What took you so long? We were waiting for ages! That guy over there nearly finished everything already.' His younger sister said and took Taehyung's wheelchair in her hands as she smiled at Choa politely, excusing herself with her eyes. Taehyung was wheeled over to the table and smiled at the amount of snacks that they had. "Hey, I thought you guys were going to get something filing to eat, not junk food. Do you not want me to get out quickly?" Taehyung joked and his siblings chuckled saying the snacks weren't for him and that made Taehyung pout because most of the snacks were actually his favorite. They did however bought him mushroom soup in which he liked. He smiled and thanked them. The siblings invited Choa to eat as well.

@Taehyung [SH] "I don't have any siblings, I'm the only child in my family." She shrugged lightly. Taehyung was indeed one of the only dongsaengs she knew who was close to her, but she couldn't quite say that she thought of Taehyung only as a younger brother. Sure, there were times when she adored him as a dongsaeng, but lately she was starting to see another side of him, one that made him seem more of a man than just a boy younger than her. It confused her and surprised her, sometimes. "Mmm, I guess? You're the closest dongsaeng I have." As she wheeled him down the corridor, they saw many fans who had been waiting to see Taehyung. "Really? I must be lucky then." She chuckled softly as she smiled at them, watching them giggle and turn away to hide their excitement and embarrassment as he flashed smiles at them. "They really really like you, don't they?" She laughed lightly as they turned the corner leading to the cafeteria. What Taehyung said was true though, his fans didn't seem to hate her as much as other fans who witness their male idols interacting with other females. Taehyung's question caught her off guard and her eyes widened slightly as she hummed thoughtfully. "W-well I do get a lot of people asking me why we aren't dating already." She felt her cheeks starting to heat up a little as she spoke, "But I don't mind it. I think it's cute."

@Choa Taehyung smiled. It was nice seeing Choa getting close with his siblings. They were precious to him and he hasn't been able to pay much attention to them so it was a nice sight to see them getting the attention he had promised them. "Noona, I thought you had siblings? Or was it just me acting like the younger brother?" Taehyung asked as he looked up towards her with a smile. He's always been able to receive a certain feel from people and the way Choa spoke indicated that she must have been a bit lonely for awhile. "Thanks Choa, for treating my siblings even though you didn't really have to." Taehyung smiled to her. He caught sight a few fans and smiled at them sending them turning away in embarrassment. "The fans must really like you. They've never been this approving of my friends before. I mean girl friends." Taehyung said to her as he pointed towards the way of the cafeteria. Many doctors and nurses pass them by and gave them loving looks. "I've been hearing people say that we look good together." Taehyung chuckled and looked back at Choa. "What do you think, noona?"

@Taehyung [SH] Choa hummed thoughtfully and nodded at his reply. "You dreamt a lot, then? What did you dream of?" Taehyung's brother suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to them, whining cutely about how hungry he was. She chuckled and got up, turning around to help Taehyung up but before she knew it, his siblings were already by his side. His sister was struggling to help him stand while his brother went to fetch the wheelchair. "Don't worry, it's not just you, your oppa actually weighs a ton." She laughed and patted his sister's head lightly, before reaching out to hold Taehyung and support some of his weight as the two younger kids helped him up on the wheelchair. "Sure, I'll stay with him. Are you going to the shop outside the hospital? Mmm can you help me get a cold drink then? Anything's fine, you guys can choose for me. Do you have enough money with you?" She opened her wallet and took out a few notes, handing them to the kids with a grin. "Here, you can go buy drinks and anything you like for yourself too. Consider it my treat." She added the last part while glancing up at Taehyung, Chuckling softly, she got behind the wheelchair to push Taehyung and the IV stand back inside. "They're so cute and playful. It must be fun to have siblings."

(Hahah it's okay, I hope it wasn't bc my last post killed your muse or anything o n o )

@Choa "I couldn't hear anything that you guys said, but I see you guys a lot in my dreams." Taehyung answered her. He thought it was a good enough answer. It was true he sees them but he never remembers what they spoke to him. The siblings played as if they were younglings once more. Until the brother gets tired. 'Hyung! I'm hungry!' The brother whined and Taehyung chuckled. "Alright then let's go and eat." He tried hoisting himself up with his IV stand but it was to no avail. The younger sister tried pulling him up but ended up whining how heavy he was. "Ya! I'm a patient! You're supposed to take care of me mentally and physically." Taehyung pouted and chuckled before shaking his head. His brother zoomed to his side with a wheelchair and the two siblings took him on each side and hoisted him onto the wheelchair. 'Noona, do you want to push hyung?' His younger brother offered as his younger sister stabilized the IV stand. The siblings told Taehyung that they were going out to eat and wondered if he wanted anything. They also asked Choa. "Nah, I don't need anything. Just be careful, okay?" Taehyung said as he smiled at them. 'Okay oppa. Unnie, will you stay with oppa? We'll come back soon. Do you want anything?' His sister offered. Taehyung smiled, the siblings never liked hospital food and Taehyung had always given them the advantage of getting something that the hospital won't provide. Snacks. Taehyung waited for Choa to push him as he made sure the stand was okay.

( sorry i was kinda blank. )

@Taehyung [SH] Choa nodded and thanked the nurse when she walked off to get a wheelchair for Taehyung, before turning back to him with a chuckle and a nod. "Yeah, your siblings have been telling you about how nice it is outside, and how they wanted you to wake up earlier so they could bring you out to play. Were you able to hear anything?" Of course, his siblings were not the only ones who tried talking to him when he was unconscious, and she was no exception, but nobody knew if he could really hear what they were saying. She wasn't sure if he heard any of her words, but a small part in her wished that he had. "I'm glad you woke up. The doctor said you would take a maximum of three days to wake up, and you woke up exactly on the 3rd day. I was so scared you wouldn't." Just then, his younger sister came up and led them to an empty area below a huge tree, where Taehyung's brother was already seated. Choa sat down beside Taehyung on the grass as his brother climbed into his lap, resting her head on his shoulder lightly as they watched his sister dance beautifully. Once the performance ended, Choa clapped, laughing and playing along as the younger brother went on to imitate the dance moves. Suddenly, she felt Taehyung slip something into her hair, and she glanced up at him curiously, reaching up to feel a small dainty flower by her ear. "It wouldn't look as pretty on my head. My hair will probably mask its beauty." With a chuckle, she picked another flower from the ground and reaching up to place it by Taehyung's ear. "There. So pretty!"

@Choa The nurse pulled Choa towards Taehyung and spoke that she would go and get a wheelchair for Taehyung and that Choa just make sure that everything is fine. There are other nurses helping other patients so should anything happen it would be fine. Taehyung smiled and took Choa's hand near his body. "This feels so nice." Taehyung sighed as he closed his eyes and felt his skin absorbing the sunshine. His younger sister pulled on Taehyung's shirt and pulled it towards a more empty area where his younger brother sat. There, his younger sister began performing her ballet moves. Taehyung got tired of standing around so he sat down on the grass instead, loving the feeling under him. He doesn't mind getting dirty as he watched his younger sister's performance. "Sit down noona." Taehyung patted to the spot next to him as his younger brother nestled on his lap. His younger sister danced gracefully and at the end of her performance, his younger brother began imitating the sister. Taehyung laughed out loud at his siblings doings. It was nice when the children tried to cheer him up. They weren't even that young of children but more to middle school children. Taehyung smiled and picked a flower from the lawn and placed it by Choa's ear. "The flower needed a high place to show itself." Taehyung joked.

@Taehyung [SH] "Nah, it's okay." She chuckled along with them, running a hand through her messy hair. She smiled as Taehyung's younger brother brought the drinks over to her and held the bag open for her to choose, picking the peach flavoured youghurt and thanking him, before helping him to put the bag back down on the table since he was struggling with it so much. Turning around, she smiled as she watched his sister try out some ballet moves, but was interrupted several times by the family members of the other patients and nurses passing by. Nodding in agreement to Taehyung's words, she got up from her seat and placed the drink down. "Let's go then! Tae, you need some fresh air too." Just then, a nurse came in to help him out, and Choa held on to his hand and walked on the other side of him, guiding him out of the cold hospital building. Once they were outside, she squinted a little at the bright sun, chuckling as she watched the two kids chase each other for a bit before running back to their brother. "Oh do you need a chair or something to sit on? I'll go find one for you-" She glanced over at Taehyung, then at the nurse, and back inside, wondering where she could find a portable chair or a wheelchair.

@Choa The kids and Taehyung chuckled when Choa began to wake up. She looked quite comical with the bed hair and tired face. Even though he felt a little mean, but he couldn't help the low chuckle rumbling in him. His siblings chuckled too, greeting the older female back. "Did we wake you? Sorry, the kids brought us drinks." Taehyung said as he gestured to the plastic bag on the other bed side table. His younger brother took the plastic bag and heaved it as he walked to Choa's side. Holding it open for her to choose from the various flavors inside the bag. Taehyung's younger sister was showing Taehyung her new ballet moves but kept getting interrupted because of the people walking about. He chuckled. "Shall we go outside then? You can show your moves better in a wider area." Taehyung suggested and as if on cue, a nurse helper came about and helped Taehyung with his IV stand to bring it around. "Come on noona." Taehyung invited the older female, pulling her hand in his as the youngsters lead the way. Taehyung was walking quite slow, careful and afraid that he might cause his wire to fall off or something.

@Taehyung [SH] Choa fidgeted a little at the sound of kids running around and giggling, but she fell back into slumber with the corners of her lips curled up slightly in a smile when someone started stroking her hair in a soothing manner. She hadn't had the chance to get such a good sleep since the day of the incident, so she was sleeping so deeply she was almost unresponsive to her surroundings.

After a while, the sound of someone giggling closer to her made her stir again, and the bed dipped when someone tried to sit up, causing her to wake up. She blinked groggily, her eyelids still felt kinda heavy, but she managed to open them as she rose up from the bed slowly. Glancing around her, she spotted Taehyung sitting up in his bed with a grape yoghurt in hand, and his siblings on the other side giggling and talking to him. Choa rubbed her eyes a little before waving and smiling up at Taehyung and his siblings. "Hello~"

@Choa Taehyung was fast asleep and he didn't hear almost half of what Choa was saying but he was sure it was about something good. While he was sleeping, Taehyung slept like a log, no dreams just darkness. After who knows how many hours of sleeping, he was stirred by the sound of his younger sister and younger brother fighting over a drink. He opened his eyes slowly to see the sight of the younger siblings. He smiled and hushed them to which they did almost immediately. He looked at Choa beside him and reached out to her hair. It was a usual sight for the siblings for Taehyung to his friends' hair. He has a for stroking hair. Taehyung smiled, watching how settled Choa looked.

Taehyung's attention was taken away when his siblings shook him a bit. They had brought him his favorite grape yogurt and he smiled. Taking it in his hand, he sat up and drank it a bit. He smiled and thanked the younger ones but told them to keep quiet because Choa was sleeping. They giggled and teased Taehyung about finally acting like a boyfriend.

@Taehyung [SH] "But it hurts seeing you lie down on the bed like that." Choa mumbled, sighing softly. She could see him struggle to take deep breaths with each sentence he spoke, and she frowned in concern. "Does it hurt to talk? You should stop talking and just rest." She watched and chuckled lightly when he adjusted the bed so she could rest her head on it comfortably, rolling her eyes slightly at him. Of course he would insist that she rest before he did. Just then, the door opened behind them and a nurse came in with a tray in hand, informing them that she was here for Taehyung's injections. Choa had to stop herself from laughing out loud as she let him hold onto her tightly, knowing his fear of needles, he was probably dead scared. Almost immediately, she could see the effects of the medicine kicking in as he struggled to keep his eyelids open. Getting up, she nodded and pulled the covers up for him so he wouldn't feel so cold. "I'll sleep once you sleep. Rest well so you recover quickly, okay? Goodnight, Tae." Although she doubt he heard everything she said since he was already half asleep, she reached down to peck him on the cheek lightly before settling down beside him on the space he had made earlier on.

@Choa Smiling as she told him that she didn't had it that hard, which was a relief. He decided to believe whatever that she told him because he didn't want to tire himself worrying about something that wasn't said. "Hey now. At least you called me out for help. At least you asked for help." Taehyung spoke slowly, taking deep breaths between his words. "I wouldn't forgive myself if you went missing or you lying down on the hospital bed. I'm glad I'm lying here instead of you." Taehyung spoke sincerely. Honestly, he was ready to get hurt for his friends and that goes for all. Male or female. "I feel cold, that's why." Taehyung answered her when she spoke of his hands. He took the remote and got his bed aligned with Choa so that if she wanted to lay her head down it won't be that painful. He felt sorry he couldn't invite her on the bed, it was too small to fit both of them. Patting at the small free space, he smiled. "I'll rest if you rest." Taehyung said as he turned his body a bit to face Choa and he smiled. The nurse came in and smiled looking at the both of them. She notified that she would be injecting some supplements into Taehyung and it would cause him to be a bit drowsy but it'll help with the pain. When he was injected, Taehyung gripped onto Choa's hand a bit harder. He hated needles. Turning away as he focused on Choa before his eyes felt a bit drowsy and sleepy. "Sleep, okay?"

@Taehyung [SH] Choa chuckled along lightly at the small exchange between Taehyung and his sister. When his family got up to leave the room first, she nodded and smiled, waving goodbye to them as they walked out the door. She turned back at the sound of Taehyung's croaky voice, smiling softly at his words. "Really? I didn't notice them. But it's okay, I don't feel like one." It wasn't completely true, but it was not a whole lie either. She would doze off almost every time she got the chance to sit down for the past few days, and she was slightly more absent-minded, forgetting schedules and deadlines here and there. However, seeing that Taehyung was awake now, she felt more alive than ever. "I should be the one apologizing to you. I should have fought against him harder or...or something, I shouldn't have gotten you involved in this." Those two days of watching Taehyung lie unconscious in the hospital was agonizing, and she had asked herself a million what ifs, replaying the traumatic experience over and over again in her mind throughout the days and nights. "I'm fine, Tae, you're the one who needs more rest. Do you need water? Any extra pillows? Your hands are so cold." Choa held on to his hand gently but firmly, not wanting to let go of them.

@Choa [SH] Taehyung smiled weakly at Choa when he saw her. She looked terrible. Almost as bad as his family looked like. "Mother will hit me if I don't. I'm a gentleman and I know how to treat a lady." Taehyung's voice croaked weak and there were coughs in between. His younger sister glared at him and he weakly glared back causing laughter in his family. His family dismissed themselves, telling him that later they'll come back after freshening up. "You should do the same, Choa. You look like a girl who broke up. You nearly scared me there with those dark circles." Taehyung smiled and chuckled gently, a bit of him still pained from all the talking and laughter. Taehyung reached up to Choa and d her hair. "I'm okay now. Sorry I made you worried." Taehyung said before setting his arm back down. He doesn't have enough energy to hold it up for long. Taehyung kinda felt sad to see Choa in that state. He didn't like it that he had worried Choa so badly when it was Choa who had to worry about herself. "Go home, noona. Get some sleep."

@Taehyung [SH] "H-he's awake?" Choa jumped out of her seat the moment she saw Taehyung's sister pop her head out of the room, gesturing for the blonde to come over quickly with a huge smile on her face. She wasted no time in hurrying over to the room, knocking on the door a few times before pushing it open carefully. A wave of relief washed over her when she saw him, propped up on the bed and talking to his parents with a smile on his face. He still looked a little pale and weak, but definitely better than how he looked like when he was unconscious. She could feel herself tearing up again for the umpteenth time these few days as she walked in, bowing politely at his parents first before moving over to stand beside him. "Tae...you're awake!" She was in a terrible state, sleepless nights and constant crying and tearing left heavy eyebags under her eyes, and her hair and clothes were disheveled. But that didn't matter, all that mattered was that he was finally awake. "I was so worried...Tae don't ever do that again!"

@Choa [SH] Being led away in the ambulance, he doesn't even know what was going on. He was slipping in and out of consciousness. It was dark for the longest of time and Taehyung felt stiff. As he gathered every ounce of energy he had, he fluttered his eyes open just a bit to see his parents and younger siblings by his side. The family looked like a wreck, everyone's faces look tired. At the first sight of him opening his eyes, the family immediately called the doctor and had him checked out. He was fine. But he passed for about two days. His younger siblings scolded him as if he was the youngest when it was the complete opposite. "Doctor, where's Choa? Is she okay?" Taehyung asked, his voice croaking a bit since he hasn't talked for quite some time. His younger sister offered to go and call Choa, calling her the pretty blondie. Taehyung smiled, at least his family has met Choa.

( Time skipped. )

@Taehyung [SH] Though she was already starting to feel exhausted from supporting his weight, Choa tried her best not to show it. "It's...it's okay.." The moment they entered the pool area, people screamed and ran away, whilst the medics rushed up to them. She could feel Taehyung slowly slipping out of consciousness as his body grew heavier and heavier, and she started to crumble a little under his weight, losing her grip on his body. "Taehyung! Taehyung! No no stay with me Taehyung!" The medics arrived just in time to catch him before he hit the ground, and they cornered Choa out as they started feeling for his pulse and everything. A small pool of blood was already starting to form on the ground, and his wounds didn't seem like they would stop bleeding anytime soon. She could hear snippets of their conversation, something about him losing a lot of blood and irregular heart rate. Before she could go up to them, however, she was blocked and led away by the guards, who brought her to the office for further questioning. "B-but what about Tae? He'll be fine, right?" She watched as the medics brought his limp body out until they were out of sight, before the security assured her that she would be able to see him later and she reluctantly followed them to the office to report the incident.

(Time skip? uwu )

@Choa [SH] "D-don't t-talk. It'll only d-drain your energy. I'm al-already heavy." Taehyung spoke in between pants as he leaned on to Choa on their way back to the pool. Blood creating a dotted trail behind him as they entered the pool area. The reaction from it was already what he expected. As soon as the public noticed Taehyung, there were screams and such that the lifeguards, securities and nurses came out all at once to come in aid. When they saw Taehyung, they rushed towards him. By this time, Taehyung had already willed himself to faint and slipped off from Choa's hold. However, he didn't hit the ground as the medics arrived just in time. He heard people giving commands and some people talking to him and Choa. But all Taehyung could see, as he was losing focus, was Choa's face. After a few more seconds and everything went black.

@Taehyung [SH] "T-taehyung you're bleeding so much!" Choa's eyes widened in horror at the sight of his bloodied fingers and back, holding on to him tightly when he nearly fell. Carefully, she slipped an arm around him so she could support him in case he fell. "We need to get you to the medics. It's not far from here." She glanced up at him with a worried look, the lump in returning as she watched him struggle to keep focused on the road ahead of him. He had already pulled something earlier on, so the fight and the huge amount of blood he lost probably just made it worse. This was all her fault, if only she shouted louder or fought harder or something, she wouldn't have put Taehyung in such a state. "I-I'm sorry Tae this is all my fault...just a little bit more, we're almost there."

@Choa [SH] ( LOL, I meant kidnapper. hehehhe )

The adrenaline rush hasn't died down so he didn't feel anything as he comforted her in his arms. Her shaking figure, he held them up to prevent her from falling or collapsing or something. Taehyung d the back of her head and hummed lightly so that she would calm down. Once she let him go, it was as if his brain suddenly remembered his injuries. He looked back at himself and noticed specks of tar piercing into him and that his knuckles were bloodied. "Wow, this is a lot of blood." Taehyung said as he stared at his knuckles. He felt something wet on his back also and winced as he reached to his back only to come back with bloodied fingers. "This is /really/ a lot of blood." Taehyung felt drained all of a sudden. He must have used to much energy just now. Now don't mistaken Taehyung, he has given his fair share of fights but usually it's only one of the fighters that get bloodied not both. So when he felt the large amount of blood seeping out of him also, his knees grew weak and he held on to Choa for a support. "Noona ..." He was losing focus in his eyes and was trying hard to not lose focus. "Let's get back to the swimming pool." Taehyung said as he held on to her shoulders, turning her to the front so that she can guide him.

@Taehyung [SH] Choa jumped back when the man's grip on her was released, her heart racing wildly as she retreated to the side and crouched down. Before she could process what was happening, Taehyung had already pinned the man down and started raining punches down on him. Soon, the man was laying on the floor with his face covered in blood, groaning and rolling about in pain whilst Taehyung got up and went over to Choa. "T-taehyung...." Relief washed over her and she got up to hug him fiercely, willing herself not to cry as she buried her face in his shoulder. She could still feel herself trembling slightly, and her heart was still beating like crazy, but his presence comforted her a lot. Swallowing hard, she took in a deep breath and let go of him, nodding in reply to his question before glancing up at him. "A-are you okay? Your arm....y-your hands..."

(bodyguard? what bodyguard @.@ yeah heheh let's just leave the kidnapper there and continue with the plot )

@Choa [SH] Taehyung felt an adrenaline rush as he saw the older girl fighting of the kidnapper. He picked up his pace and tackled the man. Pulling him away from Choa and pushing both their bodies on to the tar road with Taehyung's back making contact with the rough material. He had knocked the kidnapper on the head and before the kidnapper could think otherwise, Taehyung had already climbed onto him. "How. Dare. You. Treat. A. Lady. Like that." With every word coming out of his mouth, a punch was thrown. The kidnapper's face was bloodied. Taehyung thought that was enough so he got off of the body and went to Choa to check up on her. "You okay, noona?"

( i don't know what to do with the bodyguard. should we just continue this angst plot or something? )
