Save Me
"What's Euphoria?"
"Having met that person with whom you were meant to be with."
She wasn't feeling good at all when Soo-Ah and her dad dropped her at home. But still, she ignored the searing pain and numbness all over her body as she dragged herself around the house, sorting the mess she'd made in the excitement of going to the concert. Once the studio apartment was decent and arranged, she let her body drop down to her bed, her right arm throbbing agonizingly.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" She coughed, breathing also becoming a struggle for her. She pulled off her hoodie and lifted her left arm, staring at the vertical bruises all over the tan skin of her arm; her eyes growing wide as reality hit her like a bus!
Deep down she knew what this was and that's why she did what Soo-Ah had expected her to do.
She panicked and got off the couch, lurching from wall to wall until she reached her phone. Only one person would know what she ought to do,
"God-Damn it!" She hissed her mind spinning as she heavily leaned on the table for support.
She'd been trying to call her best friend for the past 5 minutes. Soo-Ah was the perfect best friend; until she fell asleep. When she slept, she slept like a bear in hibernation and nothing could wake her up until she was done sleeping. "Dude, not now, please! Please get up Soo-Ah!" Mishil pleaded, almost on the verge of crying from the pain surging through her body. She never was a good pain handler. Her knees buckled and she slid down to the floor, her body shutting down almost instantly.
That's exactly when Soo-Ah picked up.
"Mishil, What's wrong? Are you okay?" Soo-Ah's usually slow and boring voice was panicked and worrisome but her body was already too drained to understand that. "Soo-Ah...I bonded with someone." Mishil rasped out, her vision blurring as her head spun around violently. The last thing she heard before completely succumbing to darkness was Soo-Ah's 'HOLY SHIT!' and three quick beeps.
Then darkness...
Soo-Ah's pov
"Say what now?" I stared at the beautiful woman in front of me, not ready to accept what she'd just said, my phone vibrating, in my fist. "No! This can't be. I mean I'm perfectly fine. How can I be bonded with one of the staff members? I've never even met one." I explained, massaging my temples. "If not you, what about your plus one? Kim Mishil? She could've been too. Couldn't she?" The lady said, looking at me, expectant. "Look, Miss. She's my best friend and I can't let you know anything about her unless you tell me the whole truth." I said, crossing my arms.
"How...How did you....?" She stared at me, the rest of her sentence evaporating. "Miss, I'm a criminal detective. I can tell when a person lies." I sighed, looking at her. "Oh....okay! But I think you should take the call. It's been ringing for quite some time." The lady pointed.
I sighed and took my phone ready to shout at my brother for calling me to get him pop tarts, but halted in my tracks when I saw 20 missed calls from Mishil. I panicked. Was she okay?
"Mishil, What's wrong? Are you okay?" I asked, my voice shaking. From the other side, I heard a lot of choppy breathing and silent sobs until I finally heard her voice.
"Soo-Ah...I bonded with someone..." She rasped, her voice weak and faint. "HOLY SHIT" I hissed, quickly turning off the call and turning to the lady.
"She's bonded. She needs me." I told her, making her face go pale! "Now can you please tell me who she's bonded with so that I can rush her to healing? Please?" I begged, desperate to just rush off to Mishil.
Her eyes went wide as she thought for a second before saying, "Namjoon. Kim Namjoon of BTS." We both rushed to my car and as I drove to Mishil's house, she talked to a 'Jin' on the phone.
"It's Sora," Jin announced, making everyone spring up from wherever they were sitting.
Kyung Min grasped her brother's hand, panicking. Namjoon weakly opened his eyes, the throbbing pain now all over his shoulder making him almost pass out. He slowly lifted his head and listened in to Jin's conversation with his soulmate. He just wanted to get over this pain. He knew himself. An hour more, he's gonna start crying.
Jin: "Yeah? What's going on?"
...
Jin: "Really? You're on your way? Oh, thank God! I'll send the medical team immediately."
...
Jin: "What do you mean?"
...
Jin: "Oh my God! Okay. Take care of her. 1 hour? Okay, I'll see to it."
Jin rushed to Namjoon's side and took his hand from Kyung Min's hand. "Sora found her. Just one more hour Joon-ah! Just hold on. She'll be here soon." Jin said, squeezing gently.
"Thanks, Hyung. I can't tell you how relieved I feel." Namjoon rasped out, almost crying out of pain, instead of allowing a hiss to come out of his bitten-down lips.
///1 hour and 20 minutes later///
Namjoon was very much conscious when he first met his soulmate. To this day, he wishes he wasn't. They could all hear the commotion outside the entrance of the dorm for a minute and then, Sora walked in with a stretcher in front of her. Sora's lips which were usually curved upwards in a sweet smile now were pursed in worry as she held onto the stretcher handle pushing it forward. Beside her was another girl, her hands holding onto the unconscious girl's hand. She was biting her bottom lip, as though fighting back tears as her hair fell over her face.
Jimin was the one who opened the door for them and when his eyes landed on the girl on the stretcher; his eyes widened!
After him, Taehyung and Jin saw her. Taehyung clamped his hand over his mouth and Jin sucked in a harsh breath.
Yoongi took one look at her and said, "Heal. Immediately. She looks like death." Jungkook and Hoseok pushed out another bed to lay beside Namjoon's one in record time and the medics lifted her onto the bed.
Namjoon's eyes widened with horror! She might've been of any complexion but now, her skin was chalk white while her plump lips were cracked and blue. Her bruises were on the top of her right arm and they were huge! Almost 3-4 inches long.
"Heal," Hoseok ordered while Jin grabbed their arms and overlapped them.
Namjoon felt like he'd never felt this amount of relief in his whole freaking life! As soon as his skin touched the girl whose name, he was yet to know, he felt like he'd been soaked into a pool of cool water on a sweltering day. It was so relieving! Before long, his eyes became heavy and begged to close.
"There! He's sleepy. Leave them alone. Everyone out now." Sora announced, practically kicking the occupants of the room out. She was the last to go out. She gave a warm smile to Namjoon who weakly returned and turned off the lights.
Namjoon closed his eyes and fell asleep almost immediately! What he didn't remember was that he had a habit of moving around in his sleep when he was comfortable.
Double update!!!
