Rewind: Amber's Birthday

- MINGYU'S POV -

BANG!

I sank to the ground as Sana fled from my sight. I held my gun wound in pain and applied pressure to reduce the blood loss. My head swirled around the thoughts of Amber, I was glad my body acted as a shield for her. As my vision started to blur, I heard footsteps approaching me.
