Chapter 69: Edge of Collapse
As he fell, his rope snagged onto the jagged outcropping thanks to it being pulled taut.
Having gripped the rope out of fear, Min-ho was jerked across the air. He had almost slammed into Ji-su had he not lifted his feet at the last minute.
He swung until his rope reached its limit. Luckily for him, this happened near the small landmass.
Acting quick on his feet, he let the rope go.
He was instantly flung toward the small landmass, where he fell, crashing and tumbling across the ground.
Upon touching the landmass, it shifted slightly, sinking into the pool of acid and then resurfacing just as quickly.
When Min-ho came to a stop, he lay motionless. His breath was heavy as his heart threatened to break free of his chest.
"Min-ho?!" Sae-wee called out, fear etched into the sound of her voice.
"Min-ho?" Ji-su called out, fearing the worst.
Though he wanted to speak, he discovered he couldn’t. Not immediately anyway. His tongue was tied and his heart was beating rapidly.
Too many near-death experiences. Too many to handle.
