【 Jungkook 】

Immediately upon hearing how those words were uttered by the visibly shaken entity, you worriedly crouched down next to the male in a helpless attempt to check if he was okay— yet your doe eyes couldn't help but anxiously shift over towards the accident site once more, worriedly eyeing the brutal scene before looking back over at Taehyung; feeling torn between two places, especially when another pained wince escaped past his lips as he slowly curled up on the side of the street while reaching up to hold his head yet again. Though despite the pain he appeared to be in, the entity still wasn't oblivious to your silent dilemma, as he quickly muttered a reassuring ''Go, they need you Gguk.'' before attempting to shoo you away; causing the worried frown painting your expression to morph into a mixture of uncertainty and hesitancy.

Jungkook: I know, and I will... B-But what about y—

A faint smile now tugged on his lips as he slowly shook his head reassuringly, eyes finally fluttering open to meet your own worried ones before he yet again stubbornly ushered for you to go— tone sounding somewhat commanding but mostly lighthearted with a tinge of his usual playfulness as he spoke up.

Taehyung: Gguk I'll be fine, I just need a minute and then I'll be right with you, okay? Now go, see if you can help out over there— unless, you'd like to potentially have more than one ghost haunting you soon.

Wasting no more time, you hesitantly nodded before getting up and rushing off to the accident site a bit further ahead where a small curious crowd now had begun to gather around— most watching from a distance while capturing the horrific scene on camera, meanwhile a couple others actually stepped in to help out in whatever way they could, and so after quickly confirming that one of them actively was on the line with the emergency services, you swiftly got to work scanning the site; shattered glass and pieces of debris littered across the wet asphalt accompanied by some personal belongings which seemed to have been launched out of the broken windows during the collision.

Thankfully at least one passenger thus far seemed to safely have escaped the crash with only some minor scrapes and bruises as you happened to spot her being helped off to the side by another passerby. However, upon further searching the area in an attempt to identify people injured and potentially in need of help, a soft but startled gasp emitted past your lips as you found a man laying on the wet pavement right next to the driver's seat of one of the wrecked vehicles which had swerved a bit further away from the other— seemingly having crawled out of there himself yet failed to get much further due to the wide range of injuries he had sustained from the crash; most concerningly, the deep wound to his thigh which actively was gushing a concerning amount of blood and staining the pavement red underneath him.

Without a second thought, you instantly shouted out a ''I need help over here!'' before kneeling down beside the man who was growing worryingly pale as he kept fading in and out of consciousness. After quickly scanning his body for any other severe injuries that would need tending to first, you muttered out a swift ''Sorry this is going to hurt, try to hang in there'' before pressing down onto the wound as hard as you could in an attempt to stop the bleed— instantly causing the semi-conscious male to let out a pained cry whilst stirring slightly.

Jungkook: S-sir! I need you to try and stay still in case you've injured your neck or spine, I know this hurts but please bare with me here okay? I'm only trying to help you.

A shaky breath escaped past your lips before desperately attempting to call out for help once more, yet to no avail as people seemed to be too caught up with other things further away to hear, and so you anxiously glanced back down at your hands and clothes which were stained a deep crimson. The pressure currently being applied to the wound only seemed to slow the bleeding down a tad, though it was growing dangerously clear that this man was going to bleed out if you couldn't find a way to control it soon. However, with no tourniquet— let alone proper knowledge about how to create a functional makeshift one, you quickly grew flustered and utterly dumbstruck; completely lost on what to do now as the sheer panic from the severity of this situation was making it hard to concentrate, and the nauseating stench of iron certainly wasn't helping the situation feel less terrifying either.

While you helplessly kept looking around in search of any signs that the ambulances were approaching, a breath of relief escaped past your lips as you happened to make eye contact with Taehyung whom had been wandering the scene searching for you; thankfully appearing to be in much better shape than earlier as swiftly rushed over upon noticing your distressed expression.

Taehyung: There you are I was— shit, okay this isn't good...

Jungkook: W-what do I d-do? I-It's not stopping, I—

By now tears were beginning to well up in your eyes as you whispered out a broken plea for help, feeling too overwhelmed by the severity of this man's injuries and your failure to stop the bleeding; knowing damn well there was no way this could go on for much longer, and that it'd be your fault if—

Taehyung: Hush petal don't cry, you're doing such a great job in keeping this guy alive so far. I want you to listen to me carefully, okay? In order to fully stop this bleed, you're going to have to find something— preferably gauze, to pack the wound with as soon as possible.

You swiftly nodded before anxiously looking around once again, making further attempts in yelling out a desperate ''PLEASE, I NEED A MEDKIT OVER HERE!''— finally catching the attention of a woman on-site whom swiftly came running over with a first aid kit she brought from the trunk of her car; visibly horrified by the gruesome sight in front of her yet trying her best to stay calm and follow along as you instructed her to open the kit and take out all the gauze she could find. She then watched your blood-stained hands swiftly snatch the gauze from her trembling ones before tactfully beginning to stuff the open wound with it just as the entity beside you instructed, whispering out an apology to the barely conscious man who yet again let out a string of weakly pained cries.

Once the wound seemed full, you swiftly went back to applying firm pressure on top of the gauze with both hands before anxiously waiting for to see the result— sighing in pure relief as it successfully managed to stop the bleed fully this time, earning a proud smile from Taehyung whom looked over at you and nodded in approval.

Taehyung: Seems you may have just saved this guy's life Gguk, well done.

It wasn't long before the blaring sound of sirens finally could be heard rapidly approaching and pulling up to the scene, instantly causing another relieved sigh to emit past your lips as two paramedics quickly were urged in your direction by the woman who had brought you the first aid kit earlier— swiftly rushing over with a gurney to take over from here, though surprisingly not without also praising you for the first aid you had performed on the man as they too stressed how it was what helped save this mans life.

Once the patient eventually was wheeled off to one of the ambulances for further treatment, you slowly got up from the ground you had been kneeling on for quite a while now— only then feeling the ache in your knees and how your body began to tremble slightly as the rush of adrenaline gradually left your body now that the professionals were there to take over, nearly causing your legs to buckle and give in underneath you, especially upon finally getting a good look at yourself; hands and clothes both stained shades of crimson, as well as damp and slightly muddy from the melted snow and ice which had covered the slippery asphalt.

Nevertheless, after having given your witness statement to one of the officers and also being cleared by a paramedic that checked to ensure you sustained no concerning injuries when avoiding the car earlier, you were finally cleared to go with a friendly reminder not to hesitate in seeking help in case the events from today end up haunting you in any way.

Wanting nothing more than to go home, wash up and cuddle up underneath a blanket on the couch, you slowly turned to face Taehyung whom seemed to long for the exact same thing as he flashed you a gentle smile— tenderly whispering out a soft ''Let's get you home Gguk...'' while reaching down pretending to pat your head, to which you nodded slowly in agreement before the two of you began walking side by side. Yet you couldn't help but occasionally glance over at the male beside you, unable to forget the fear in his expression when the car was mere inches away from hitting you, nor the sadness, confusion, pain, and anger which lingered as he had staggered to go sit down after the flashback he got seconds later.

Jungkook: ...H-hey uhm, ghostie?

The entity offered a soft hum as he glanced down at you, purposely slowing his steps down slightly while patiently waiting for you to go on.

Jungkook: I never got the chance to properly ask but... A-are you okay— you know, after what happened back there with the flashback?

A melancholy smile slowly tugged on his lips as he thought back to the moment before nodding, mumbling out a soft ''Yeah, I suppose so...'' which caused your brows to furrow with worry and a tinge of guilt— knowing you had to leave him there to go through what must've been quite an overwhelming experience all alone.

Taehyung: The visions I had were all just a blurry jumbled mess, not to mention there was this deafening ringing in my ears which made it really hard to concentrate and make out any useful details— all I know for sure, is that there was some sort of a car crash, which ultimately must've been the reason I ended up like this...

There was a moment of silence as you lowered your head before finally whispering out a soft ''I'm sorry ghostie..'', instantly earning a breathy chuckle from the taller whom shook his head reassuringly before calmly shoving his hands into his pockets.

Taehyung: Hey now, why are you apologizing to me, hm? I wanted answers, and now I got one...

Jungkook: I know, I just wish I had been able to be there for you... When it happened you looked so— scared and sad that I hated having to leave you there all alone...

A sigh could be heard emitting past his lips while you slowly let your doe eyes glance up at him, seeing how a sad smile still lingered on his lips as he shook his head once more before eventually whispering out a clarifying ''Nothing back there frightened me more, than having to helplessly watch you nearly get run over back there Gguk.''.
