"DARA-YAH!" Jjangmae shouted.

And behind him was.. 

Is that...

Kiyong?

Wait.. What is he doing here?

I then saw Kiyong running towards me and Jiyong.

Jiyong was also staring at him.

Then he glanced back at me.

And whispered..

"Well, I guess it's time to return you to your rightful owner."

I even heard him sigh, I swear. But wth, he carried me down the whole time. I'd be sighing too if I was him.

But why do I feel sad that we're now back? Why do I feel like I not wanting to get off of him? To stop the time if possible?

This moment will end any second now, and without me knowing it, I hugged him so tightly and buried my face on his shoulders.

He is leaving
And I can’t do anything
Love is leaving
Like a fool, I’m blankly standing here

"Kumowo, Jiyong-ah. Thank you for finding me." 

I wanted to cry again. But nope, not in here where everybody can see me. Including Kiyong, nor Jiyong too, again. 

The next thing I know, I was being pulled by Kiyong towards his back from Jiyong's. 

"Gwenchana? Appeo? (Are u okay? Are u hurt?) What happened?!" 

He was bombarding me with questions, and all I could do was shake my head. I am so tired and my ankle was starting to hurt real bad. Plus, the sadness is really getting into me, and I don't know why. 

Kiyong was panting. He must've been really worried. I opened my eyes a bit, and I saw Jiyong beside us. This is the only time that I was able to see him clearly because it was really dark in the forest.

Omo, he looks as muddy and wet  as I am.

As I looked down, I noticed that is bleeding in his leg. Omg! 

"Dara, do you know how worried I am? I came as.." Kiyong was still saying something but my head is focused on Jiyong's wound. 

"Jiyong-ah! You're bleeding!" I interrupted Kiyong. Jiyong suddenly looked at me, then to his wound, then back to me. 

"Aniya. Gwenchana. You should worry about yourself."

Then, he bowed to Kiyong and started walking, even though I only noticed now how he's having a hard time walking. I can imagine, how much more he was suffering when he was carrying me? Pabo-yah Jiyong-ah. Why didn't you say anything? T_T

"Ahh, Jiyong-sshi...."  

Suddenly, Kiyong called out to him. Jiyong turned around to face us. 

"... Kamsamnida. For saving uri Dara." 

"It was just the right thing to do. Anyone would've done that." He bowed again, then I watched him limp heavily as he walked away. 

I’m looking at him, getting farther away
He  becomes a small dot and then disappears
Will this go away after time passes?
I remember the old times
I remember you

Soon, Jjangmae and the team rushed beside me and started asking me the same things Kiyong had asked me. 

I was feeling dizzy, exhausted, hungry, hurt, sad altogether. Must be because of the rain, the sprained ankle, fatigue and the feeling of emptiness. My vision and mind was blurring. I feel like passing out. 

But before I did, I clearly remembered what I was able to say to them. 

If you... If you... 

"Ji..Jiyong.. Make sure... h-he's okay. Treat him... treat him first jebal."

Then blank. 

-- 

When I woke up, I was already inside my room. Ack! My body hurts, especially this stupid ankle of mine. 

My eyes slowly  scanned the room. Across from my bed was the clock, which says it's already 12mn. My, how long was I out? 

Then I glanced upon my side.

I slowly moved my head to clearly see who is there, 

And beside me was ... *dug dug dug dug*
