Earth Mode ON: FOURTY EIGHT

My breath was caught in my throat for too long to the point that I felt suffocated. All the voices around me mixed with the sound of the ferocious wind became faint as my awareness of my surroundings decreased. All I could see were Yoongi and Jungkook's pale bodies as they remained extremely still on the cold, stiff ground. The blue color of their frozen lips was all that I could pay attention to. The faint sound of the air that ran in and out of their lungs was all I was capable of hearing. All my senses were diverted to serving Yoongi and Jungkook's well being, and it frightened me. The thought of not seeing them move again frightened me. The thought of not hearing the sound of their faint breaths frightened me. The thought of losing them forever after being together, even if not physically, for too long frightened me. Everything about the current situation frightened me.

"Somebody check up on the both of them! Please!" Namjoon begged the nurses who immediately came to our aid. Both Namjoon and I were on our knees next to their frozen bodies, eyes pouring out their supply of tears. The nurses came running to our direction with two stretchers and the male doctors helped carry both of them on separate stretchers to the operation room of the tent.

The moment the nurses were out of our sight, the people in the tent started taking care of their own business and forgot about us after watching the whole scene. Some of them gave us looks of sympathy, while others ignored the fact that someone we knew was dying and focused on the fact that Namjoon tore down the sheet. The wind was taking over the entire tent, and the atmosphere was, in fact, way too cold for anyone to handle without proper winter clothes. The tent began filling up on snow as well, and it only made everything worse. The people here in the tent were all supplied with woolen blankets and warm jackets while we had nothing but our old, ragged, summer clothes. We cried for a bit before we felt like our tears were going to turn into ice if we cried more, so we kept them stored in there which made our eyes look like a pool. Namjoon and I stayed there on the floor for long, hoping for some good news. It was really hard to remain still in our situation though. The both of us were shivering so hard to the point where our teeth were about to fall off. Some nurses noticed the state we were in, so we were immediately taken to an empty bed far away from the exit of the tent and were supplied with blankets and jackets.

There weren't any more beds to spare, so Namjoon and I had to share the same one. There weren't even any more available chairs, and we weren't planning to borrow one from anyone. The two of us even decided to share the blankets that we were given so that we can receive double the amount of warmth. I could feel the cold air coming from Namjoon's mouth as he panted hit the back of my neck and it made me shiver even more. His breaths were uneven and heavy, which made the frequency of the air hitting my skin higher, and it made me feel colder. I decided to sink even more under the blanket to cover my neck from the air coming out of Namjoon's mouth and just held onto the edge of the blanket for dear life.

We laid there for about half and hour, unable to close our eyes or get any form of rest. We didn't even have the chance to feel warm due to the fright we were in. After those thirty minutes passed, we found a nurse running into our direction, so we both sat straight.

"I got good news and bad news," She said, and it made my heart hammer against my chest for the one millionth time today.

Namjoon gulped before saying," Tell us the good news first."

"Alright. Just to give you an overall preview on their situation, I'd like to tell you that the both of them were facing a case called hypothermia. It is when their body temperature fall too low. The good news is that one of them was only in the first stage of hypothermia, and was only beginning to experience its symptoms when he passed out next to the tent," the nurse said then took a moment to catch her breath.

"A-and the bad news?" I asked her hesitantly, not entirely sure if I really wanted to know what kind of news she had in store for me.

"The other guy had it a little bit stronger. He probably stayed out longer in the cold than the other one because he is entirely frozen. He is in a very critical stage right now, and needs to remain in a very warm place so his body can start functioning properly again. Unfortunately, you tore the sheets down, so keeping a room warm in this tent will be very difficult. However, the doctor suggested that we cover him up with as much blankets and jackets as we possibly can. We will do our best to bring him back to you alive," She said, and it only made our eyes widen at the last sentence. She was saying it like it was nothing and her indifference to the whole situation pissed me off so bad. If it weren't for Namjoon, the two of them would've been long gone and it was only because they were all debating on ways to get them into the tent without having to destroy that stupid sheet of plastic. They should feel glad that I didn't kill them yet. If anything happens to Yoongi or Jungkook, I'm putting all the blame on them  and once everything goes back to normal, they will be the ones I'll sue.

"That's it for now. The one with the less serious case is being warmed up at the moment. He should regain his consciousness any minute now. The other one won't wake up for today. He will need a bit longer than that for the internal heat of his body to go back to normal. I'll let you know if anything else happens," She said then bowed down before she left. Namjoon and I bowed to her too then looked at each other.

Yoongi is going to be alright, but what about Jungkook? She said his body was in a critical condition. What if he never makes it?

Before I could even open my mouth, Namjoon held my hand reassuringly, as if he was capable of reading my thoughts.

"Go to sleep Seo Yeon. You need to rest," He said all of a sudden and pushed me down gently but I resisted.

"I won't be able to sleep before I make sure Yoongi is alright," I said and it made him sigh.

"Please. I'll wake you up when he comes, but you seriously need to rest. You look so tired," He argued with me, but I wasn't having it. He is always thinking about others but never once of himself. The one who took care of me when I was hurt, the one who had to go through sleepless night for me, the one who was always there for me was all him. He was there throughout it all. Never did he ever think of how he was feeling, of how his body was complaining. It hurt me to know that I was the reason behind why he was shutting down his body's complaints just so he can help me. I couldn't allow him to go on with this. He is human too and he needs to rest just like every other person does.

I looked straight into his eyes as I thought about his offer.

"You know what?" I said then pushed him down gently instead," How about you sleep and I wake you up when Yoongi comes?"

He smiled slightly me then sat up again," No. I won't sleep. Who will take care of you then?"

I let out a sigh of frustration and said," Namjoon. I can take good care of myself. You really don't have to constantly worry about me. You need to start getting concerned for your well being too. I don't want you to go through any more sleepless nights because of me, or give up on your food or anything else for me. For once, can I be the one who stays awake to take care of you while you sleep? Please?"

Namjoon stared at me for a while, probably taking my request into consideration. If he agrees then it will remove alot of pressure off my chest because for once I'll feel like he actually has the right to relax like a normal person would. Him having such a right was important to me as much as it was important to him and his well being, so I would be beyond devastated if I was the reason behind why he couldn't receive such rights.

"Fine. Just this once though. But make sure to wake me up the moment you spot Yoongi. Deal?" He said and I got overly excited.

"Deal!" I said with a smile and watched him as he laid down and covered himself up really well. I smiled at his adorable face as dozed off to his own dreamland. His face did show all the hardships that he has been through and just watching him sleep was like watching a movie about the story of his life. Everything was written in great detail across his face and I felt my heart ache as I read it. Why did such a sweet, caring, righteous and adorable person with such a strong, and sweet personality have to go through such hardships? Why did he have to suffer constantly? It wasn't fair.

Before I could even think about what I was going to do next, I felt a hand grab my wrist and pull me down under the blanket, taking me completely by surprise.

"You should get under the blanket before you freeze to death," I heard Namjoon say with his eyes closed.

Even when he is about to go to sleep, he still wants to make sure I'm okay. I don't even know what to say anymore.
