[ There's a small stare from him at the other despite the pain at that first statement. Of course Nam Soon is strong, of course he knows that when he's had front row seats to Nam Soon beating someone up so often. But there's a difference between "stronger than I look" and "capable of dragging someone slightly heavier and taller than me all the way to a hospital".
But again, there's no choice. If Nam Soon really threatens to collapse under it then he'll tell him to stop, but they have to at least try. Especially since it feels like his leg is never going to stop throbbing with pain at this rate.
So with the little bit of strength he still has left in the rest of his body, he tries to turn himself enough so he can actually grab onto his best friend. First his hand lands on his shoulder, then the other hand.. but he knows he's going to have to hold on pretty firmly since he doesn't want to put too much strain on Nam Soon in just having to keep him from slipping. So the hands move a little further, meeting in front of the other's chest so he's clinging to the other's neck and top with his arm.
Of course that also means having to move his body - and therefore his leg - a little in the process, and he can't bite back the pained groan even though he wants to so badly. Instead he breathes it out against the other's back, trying to muffle it against Nam Soon's clothes, near the bottom of his neck.
Damn his bum leg. Screw everything. It's frustrating and painful enough to bring him near tears. The last thing he wants to do is look so pathetic, and even beyond that he really doesn't want to sound so pained in front of Nam Soon. He knows his best friend well enough just how many bad memories it triggers for the both of them. So he manages to bite back half of the next groan, even though the shuddering and shivering breath still escapes him against the other's skin. ]
