9 Savior
In Denial
“Eomma?” 14 years old Ji Eun tried to free herself from her mother’s hug
“Dad? Mom? Wake up. Please”, she pleaded but there was no response from the corpse
Passerby came and helped her after a long time. She was sobbing, unable to do anything.
She was alone. She was in pain, alone in the lonely cold street until the ambulance came and took her.
She began to panic once again. Her chest rising vigorously trying to calm herself, she reached her pocket
to found out she left her phone in her classroom.
She began to feel hopeless. She began sobbing once again. She screamed for help endlessly.
Her hand grabbed her head, pressing her fingers through her skull, her hair was a mess caused by the
anxiety.
In the midst of crying, the door was yanked open.
Ji Eun lifted her head up, twitching her eyes as she adjusted to the light shone, lighting up the dark store
room.
Came a young blonde man who rushed to her as soon as he confirmed the sobbing sound coming for her.
“Lee Ji Eun? Is that you? Are you okay?” Sehun reached out for her worriedly but she slapped it away. Afraid
She replied by scooting further and started to raise her hand trying to protect herself from Sehun’s touch.
She was too frightened.
“I am going to hold your arm”, Sehun informed
“N-No”, Ji Eun managed to reply in the midst of sobbing.
“Lee Ji Eun, relax, I am here, I am going hold you”, he said sternly as he slowly moving towards Ji Eun
“okay?”, he questioned
Ji Eun didn’t reply. She made a ball of the hem of her shirt, holding on to it.
Sehun slowly hold her arm causing her body to stiff
“I am going to hold the other arm now”, he informed calmly
She continued crying in despair
His hand slowly reached the other arm
Sehun forcefully gave her a hug her before she could react, quickly rubbing her back although she
was struggling to be free from his embrace.
“shhhh, it’s fine. I am here. I am here”, Sehun said a few times. Her sob began to decrease.
She stopped struggling, she was restless.
Her face was buried in Sehun’s chest forming a pool of water from tears with her hands around Sehun’s waist,
grabbing his shirt shakily.
Sehun started to hum a lullaby to calm Ji Eun even more. Ji Eun’s sob finally turned to sniffle.
After a while, her breathing steadied itself thanks to the comforting hug that Sehun gave.
“Do you want to make a move now?”, Sehun inquired softly holding her arm, trying not to startled her
She nodded weakly
Sehun pulled her up. They walked a few steps then a weight dropped on Sehun’s hand.
“Lee Ji Eun?”
“Lee Ji Eun? Are you okay? Lee Ji Eun, wake up!”, Sehun panicked as he patted Ji Eun’s cheek lightly to wake her
up but it seemed like she had fainted.
Sehun cursed under his breath.
“Kyungsoo-ah, you have Ji Eun’s address right? Can you give it to me immediately? Hurry up please.
This is an emergency”, Sehun said quickly
In a split second, a text containing Ji Eun’s address was received. He carried Ji Eun in a swift and passed
through the school’s clinic in case they can seek help but it turned fruitless since it was not school time anymore.
He took a cab to Ji Eun’s house and knocked on the door.
He was welcome by a worried look on Ji Eun’s aunt face. Her Aunt saw Sehun with questioning look.
Her eyes widened accompanied by a loud gasp as soon as she saw Ji Eun in Sehun’s arm. She then
helped Sehun in, guiding him to Ji Eun’s bedroom.
“omo, my baby. What could have happened?!” Aunt Bo young exclaimed.
“Please stay here while I take her medicine. Thank you young man” Aunt Bo young continued in hurry without
bothering to get to know the lad who had helped her unconscious niece.
Sehun obeyed Aunt Bo young’s order obediently, looking at Ji Eun’s face. His hand moved itself to Ji Eun’s face,
removing her hair that was stuck to her face. Tugging her hair away from angelic face. He began caressing her
soft cheeks and quickly retracted his hand back, shocked of his action.
“What am I doing?” He thought.
She looked like she was in ease. Sehun examined her face once again, running his eyes around her face,
her milky skin, her button nose and her pink lips. She is really pretty to Sehun’s eyes.
"Her face still looks similar even after all the
