Love Began with the First Meeting

Molly stood frozen, unable to do anything.

Already in great pain, Brian remained indifferent to Molly.

The air inside the room, which appeared so huge, was suddenly filled with tension so thick that you could cut a knife through it.

Gripping the steering wheel so tight caused Molly's palms to turn red, and she began to feel the pain as she held the medical kit. Her heart grieved over what happened. But she refused to let Brian see her sad, so she lowered her head immediately.

A pause was necessary so she could overcome the weariness in her heart. Wordlessly, she forced herself to control her feelings so she could help stop the bleeding. Brian's wound started to worry her. It was her fault that he got hurt so she would endure his indifference and any words or deeds meant to humiliate her.

"Don't touch me!" Brian's cold voice broke into her thoughts. His left shoulder had turned numb, but he still felt the blood running through his veins like these were about to push out of his skin. Brian could already imagine how terrible it would feel once he removed his clothes.

Pressing his lips as he endured another fresh bout of pain, Brian was feeling so many emotions inside him. He refused Molly's attempts to take care of him because he did not want her to see his wound. He knew it would be horrible, and he wanted to spare her from the gruesome sight. While he couldn't understand why he felt this way, Brian resolved to be firm. Pain and confusion were weighing him down. But it was Molly he was concerned about.

Motionless for several minutes, Molly could hardly move. She blinked then turned to look at Brian. She clamped her lips to keep herself from crying. When she felt tears threatening to fall, she quickly lowered her head and kept blinking to hide her sorrow and anxiety.
