Rather Dead Than Without You – Teaser

“There’s been a crash at the intersection of 21st and West Street.  Supposedly someone’s dead.”

“All right.  Let’s go,” Jungkook tossed the ambulance keys to his partner and they quickly ran to the ambulance.  Jungkook flicked on the siren, and they headed off to the crash with another ambulance.

They arrived at the crash within a minute, and Jungkook immediately recognized one of the cars…as Taeyeon’s.  He jumped out of the ambulance and quickly ran to the car, which, thankfully, was still upright.  Jungkook tugged the door open.  Taeyeon was laying there, unconscious.  Or at least Jungkook hoped she was only unconscious.  He pulled her out of the car, laying her on the pavement next to the car.  Then he checked her pulse.  And let out a huge sigh of relief.

“Stretcher!” he yelled.  He really hoped she would be all right.

——————–

Jungkook stared down at Taeyeon.  She seemed to be breathing all right. She had fared much better than the other driver, having suffered only two broken ribs.  The other driver had died on the spot.

Tears started to spill down Jungkook’s cheeks.  He bent down to kiss Taeyeon’s forehead, his tears now falling on her face.

“Yeon, baby…I’m so sorry…” He whispered against her forehead.

“Why…why are you sorry…?”

Jungkook gasped and pulled away a bit, looking straight into Taeyeon’s dazed and tired eyes.

“Yeon…if I hadn’t left, this wouldn’t have happened…” Jungkook’s tears were falling on Taeyeon’s cheeks now.

“Oh, Jungkookie…” Taeyeon breathed.  She reached up to wipe a tear from Jungkook’s eye. “It’s not your fault…”

Jungkook sniffled as more tears fell down his cheeks.  He gently draped his arm over Taeyeon’s waist before bending to press another kiss into her forehead. “I’m so glad you’re ok.”

Taeyeon reached up and snaked her arm around Jungkook’s waist.  She pulled him closer, burying her face in his neck.  They just sat there in silence for a minute.  Jungkook broke the silence by pulling away slightly again.  He moved down until he was nose to nose with Taeyeon, their lips a scant inch from each other.  Taeyeon suddenly recalled something in that moment.

“Do you remember how we met?” she whispered, her breath passing over Jungkook’s lips.

Jungkook did.  He remembered exactly how they had met.
