Chapter 12: Min

"Min," a voice roused me out of my dreams. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Victor standing there. A fresh cut was on his cheek. "Are you okay?"

I didn't know what made me jump to my feet ― the cut or the distance between us.

"Sorry, did I scare you?" Victor asked, taking three steps back to give us some room. "I didn't know if you were unconscious or not. I called your name a few times."

"Oh, no, I just got scared from your cut," I said, keeping my back against the tree.

Victor felt his cheek and groaned when his fingers grazed the cut. "Shit, now I have to explain why I'm injured."

"Wha―" I was cut off by Liy and Kie jumping on the tree branch.

"Min's awake! Nice to know!" Kie said before whispering something into Victor's ear that I couldn't hear then turning his attention back to me. "How do you feel?"

"Tired," I said. My eyes looked around me until I muttered; "What time is it?"

"An hour until Bi's second shift at R.C.R, why?" Kie tilted his head in confusion.
