╗live or die╚ --&&jongin
yulhee stirs, and she isn’t sure at first where she is. the ground beneath her back is hard, so she isn’t in bed, and there are faint noises all around her, unidentifiable voices crying and screaming, sometimes even calling to her.
one is right above her, calling her name. “yulhee! yulhee, wake up, please!” the voice is familiar, but somehow it strikes both relief and fear into her heart. confused, she cracks her eyes open, her mind still spinning from losing all its oxygen when jongin tried to strangle her.
she opens her eyes, and sees jongin leaning over her now. the same face that had just been glaring down at her as he choked the life from her. yulhee stares up at him for a moment, before her eyes go wide and she tries to scream.
all that comes out are coughs and a rough, torn voice as she tries to scramble backwards, but her trembling body doesn’t want to support her. there are still tears coating her cheeks as even more spill from her eyes to join them, and a shaking hand grabs at her sword, which thankfully is lying on the ground next to her. “get away,” she rasps, unable to make her voice work properly. she can’t help but cough, but even as she dissolves into a long fit of coughing and hacking and trying to get enough air through her bruised windpipe, she manages to keep her eyes open and her sword pointed at jongin.
“get away from me!” she demands, her voice still hoarse but slightly stronger once she comes out of her coughing fit. staring into his face that she once loved -- that she still loves -- all she can think is that she has to run.
