Yu Yeong struggled to keep up with his friend, but his body betrayed even his lowest expectations. After all, last time he escaped the fever with much difficulty and he still wasn't fully recovered yet.
Consequently, Yu Yeong's breathing was already erratic and he could feel his lungs protesting against the strain. His usually pale cheeks were now flushed a bright pink, looking like a pair of ripe peaches.
As soon as he tried to jump over a small obstacle, Yu Yeong's legs trembled and ultimately gave out. He stumbled, wobbling forward like a tree without roots, only to eventually land facedown on the ground. His body made a loud thud, mixing with the sound of crunched twigs.
Since they were still holding hands, Jun was yanked backwards by the force of Yu Yeong's fall. The young boy felt the sudden tug on his arm and tried to steady himself. He successfully managed to escape falling down, but somehow ended up dropping Yu Yeong's hand in the process.
