[ The only answer Nam Soon at first will get is a groan, really. Because Heung Soo's experiencing the same kind of things entirely - his heart is racing, his body on fire, he feels like he can hardly breathe from running so hard, from literally running for his life - but it's even worse with the pain from his leg. Even rolling over just now caused more aching from it than he would have liked, and he can't help but worry if he'll even be able to stand again if it hurts this much.
In fact, he can't even remember the last time it hurt this much. He's been running ever since that incident, yes, but he alwas made sure to stop before it got too bad. Even when he saw Nam Soon disappear into that car, he knew he had to give up after a little bit or he would never be able to even walk ever again.
This time he didn't have a choice though. He had to keep running, for his own life and for Nam Soon's as well. And his leg burns, aches, sending sharp pains through his body that make him close his eyes and bite his lip to even try to deal with it. And it's just when another sting hits him that he realises when the last time was that it hurt this bad, when he was writhing on the ground just like this - the very same night that this all started, the night when Nam Soon crushed his leg in the middle of that beating.
The memory makes it even worse and urges him so badly to just get up, to not make this worse on either of them, but he can't. Even if he could bite back and pretend he's okay with some slighter pain, this much is..
He opens his lips, sucks in a breath, forces himself to look up at his best friend. What's he supposed to say to that? Of course he's not okay, he can't even pretend he is, but he doesn't want Nam Soon to look so helpless either, just like how the look in his eyes had suddenly changed that night. ]
N-- Nam Soon-ah.. -- nngh!
[ Thankfully (or not) his leg saves him from having to think of an answer, and he doesn't get much further than the name before he groans in pain again. ]
the one opportunity to use this icon tbh
