A harsh electric feeling crept into Mi-rae’s blood and settled in her chest. Not the kind that sparks pretty and positive, more like a lightning bolt splitting a body down the middle, ash and smoke billowing from the burns it caused. Charred edges whispered questions; Why? Why now? Why me? As if the sky would ever answer back. Mi-rae now knew better than to look up and see something heavenly instead of just clouds that held nothing or ever rain. She should know better than to expect anything else than a pretence of unfamiliarity between the two from this chance encounter. They were strangers now after all, weren't they? Just a face of a distant shore that she once found home in; just some faded photograph left in the sun for too long.
Still, something inside lurched, and it made her feel feverish.
Mi-rae felt as though she had stepped into a fever dream, where reality blurred at the edges and the ground beneath her feet seemed to shift and sway like a ship on storm-tossed sea. Her breath came in shallow gasps, like the desperate wheezing of a drowning man clawing for air. She squeezed her eyes shut, hoping that when she opened them again, the ghost would have dissipated, carrying all the memories and dizziness with him. Flowers of moments she had thought to have trampled had suddenly shot up again, climbing and climbing through her entire being, with thorns pricking and tearing all that still held an inch of softness. She felt like choking and throwing up at the same time.
There was little sense left, and Mi-rae could only barely register what was happening around her; the hand on her shoulder, the coldness of the tiles, the warmth of a body against hers. Voices, one she wished she could not still recognise after everything. No, this had to be a dream. A nightmare? Something unreal. Denial and delusion had always made close friend with each other, intertwining as easily as twin stars. Mi-rae opened her eyes to gaze into that of a mirage, a vision of features she exactly could picture him to have become if he was here. Sharper. Even more handsome. Her hand reached out, expecting to go straight through the figment of imagination, but instead of distorting the image, her finger touched something tangible.
Eyes blinked, focusing on the finger poking a cheek.
Eh?
"What...." she uttered, her throat tightening into a gasp. Her face contorted once more into shock and slight horror as she realised what was happening and what she was doing. Immediately, her trembling legs scrambled herself up. There was as much grace to it as a baby deer but Mi-rae could not care much about that. All she could focus on was trying to leave as swiftly as possible, right before becoming a true mess of a person right in front of him. "I- have to go." her body turned around, fast, faster than light.
Maybe it was because she had drunk way too little water for a hot day such as today. Perhaps it was because seeing Sun-woo again was enough for everything to completely shut down. One step was what Mi-rae could do before the world started to spin.
Before darkness took her.
Groaning softly, Mi-rae wakes up later again. Her hand moved to touch her forehead as pain throbbed there, her eyes squeezing before opening to meet some very bright lights. Sensing that she was laying down, she pushed herself into a sitting position and slowly took in her surroundings with a dazed sense of bewilderment. The room was small and stark, the air heavy with the antiseptic scent of disinfectant. Medical equipment hummed softly in the background. Was this.... the hospital? Her gaze soon fell on the figure in the room, eyebrows shooting up in surprise and recognition.
"Sunn-" the nickname gets swallowed." -woo. What...." so many questions-- Where am I? Why are you here? Why did you ever leave? Mi-rae settled on the most neutral one.
"What happened?
