C9 Chapter 9

"AAAAAAHHHHH!"

I screamed when suddenly the water started to rise near our feet.

What should I do?!!!!

The water rose quickly and reached my waist.

Yellow quickly closed their eyes and created a bubble that would serve as oxygen.

It covered their heads except mine.

This is what startled me, my oxygen bubble was not working because I am made of fire.

It's like a candle, when there's wind, the fire goes out.

I bit my lip and kept swallowing.

"Sorry, Red! I really can't give you any air oxygen!" Yellow exclaimed.

"What's happening, Yellow?! Why can't Red have one?!" Kaiden asked.

"Red can't have one because he is made of fire and although Kaemin is also made of fire, Red is different. There's nothing I can do!" Yellow explained.

"I-I can hold my breath! P-Please close your eyes!"

I tried to lift my head to avoid submerging.

I could see them closing their eyes because it was necessary to conserve their oxygen.

I can't take it anymore! It's hard to breathe!

My vision was fading when someone grabbed my waist.

I opened my eyes when I felt someone supplying me with air.

0.0

My eyes widened when I saw Kaemin.

He was supplying me with air underwater.

I grabbed his chest.

After he supplied me with enough air, he let go of my lips.

Thump thump thump thump

Why is my heart racing?

I mentally shouted as Kaemin bit my lower lip and sucked on it.

I WANT TO SHOUT!!!

KAIMIN, FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!!!! WE'RE DYING, AND YOU'RE DOING THIS, YOU ANIMAL!!!!!!

Even though I was really annoyed and wanted to hurt him, I held back because he was supplying me with air.

However, I really wanted to kick him!!!!

He pulled me even closer to him.

Annoying! Annoying Kaemin, you'll pay for this later!!!! Arrrgh!!!

I quickly pushed him away when I felt it was about to end.

I briefly held my breath and the water subsided.

I felt weak and sat on the ground, gasping for air.

"Thank goodness you managed to hold your breath for two hours, Red," Yellow said.

"Yeah, I managed to hold on," I said, giving Kaemin a dirty look.

The idiot whistled and whispered as he looked away.

'Sexy.'

That's what he said.

"Is this how you are, Red, when you hold your breath? Your lips are so red," Kai said.

"That's why they're bleeding," Kaiden added.

"A-ah, yeah."

I stood up.

And looked around as everything changed.

Now we were in the forest.

When will this end?!!!!

"Earth hell!" I exclaimed.

And immediately, a giant clump of soil rose and charged at us.

We had to fight for three hours.

An hour and a half into the fight, we created a barrier because the giants were throwing large rocks at us.

Then suddenly they disappeared, and we breathed a sigh of relief when we saw Blue waking up.

I saw the guilt and sadness in his eyes, and he suddenly vanished.

He teleported somewhere far away from us.

When he teleported away, the house returned to its original state as if nothing had happened.

So that's what happened earlier.

"Red! Have you finished healing them?" Yellow asked.

"Yes, why?"

"Heal yourself now, Red! Don't ignore the pain!"

Shoot, Yellow caught me.

The five guys quickly turned to look at me.

"Wait, I thought you already healed yourself," Kaiden said.

"Your body has no visible wounds," Kai said.

They examined my body, and because I couldn't bear the pain, I closed my eyes and grabbed Kaimin's shoulder tightly.

To be honest, I'm a healer, but I can't heal myself; I need to suffer before I heal.

I don't like that feeling.

"RED!!!!!! HEAL YOURSELF!!!" Yellow shouted.

"I don't want to, Yellow! It hurts!" I said softly.

Yellow approached me and held my shoulder.

"Please!! Red, just endure it, please," he pleaded.

He looked like he was about to cry, so I held his hand on my shoulder and lowered it.

"Alright, but don't tell Blue that I'm going to do this; I don't want him to blame himself. Is that clear?" I said gently.

They all nodded.

Yellow pulled Kaimin, who was standing next to me, away.

I took deep breaths.

After calming down, I closed my eyes and focused on where I felt the most pain.

.

.

.

.

I closed my eyes tightly because I could feel it flowing through my whole body.

I would experience the sensation of burning with my own fire again.

(YELLOW's POV)

I bit my lip.

I quickly created shields that nothing could break.

Red was going to experience it again.

"Yellow, what is Red going to do? Why doesn't he want to heal himself?" Kristan asked.

"And he doesn't even have any wounds," Kai added.

"You only think Red doesn't have any wounds, but he is the most affected among us all. His internal organs are affected, not his external," I replied.

I took deep breaths.

I needed to prepare.

"Please!!! Assist me to maintain our shields," I said.

"Huh? Why?" they asked.

"You know we're triplets; our umbilical cords are connected. When one of us is in extreme pain that could be fatal, we feel the pain too, but not as intensely," I explained.

"I don't understand. What pain are you talking about?" Kaemin asked.

"Red has healing abilities, right? But despite having those abilities, he can't heal himself."

"Please, I hope he can endure it," I whispered.

Karjay and the others were ready.

We all watched Red, who closed his eyes tightly.

"Argggh!" I moaned softly.

I could feel it now.

I held onto Karjay and maintained the shields with one hand.

I could feel what Red was feeling.

"AAAAARRFGGGGHHHHHHH!" we both screamed.

BOOM!!!!

Red suddenly burst into flames.

(KARJAY's POV)

"AAAAARRFGGGGHHHHH!"

I was struggling for Yellow and Red.

I felt their pain.

Yellow held onto me tightly.

Red burst into flames, almost breaking Yellow's shield, so Yellow quickly alerted me.

Even though he was struggling.

Kai and Kristan couldn't bear to look.

Kaimin was restless, while Kaiden's ears turned red, a sign that he was hurt by what he was seeing.

I focused on Yellow, who was struggling, so I held his waist.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

They both screamed again.

Our eyes widened as we saw parts of his clothes catch fire.

"I can't just watch! I'm going to help him!" Kaimin shouted.

"WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!!!!!" Yellow suddenly screamed.

We gasped in shock.

W-what? W-we're going to die?

"AAAH!!! W-we're going to die if you disrupt Red!!!!"

We stopped abruptly and gasped as it exploded.

And I caught Yellow as he paled.

Kaimin rushed to Red and caught him.

We laid Yellow and Red on the sofa.

They both said, "Blue!"

"F-find Blue."

"F-f-i-n-d Blue," Yellow said.

"Fvck! Kaimin, Karjay, stay here!" Kaiden exclaimed as he quickly dragged Kai and Kristan.
