*Danbi’s POV*
(4 AM)
5 hours has passed, nothing’s really happening, thank God.
“Should we go to the lab?” I asked Hojun.
“We should, but let’s check the rooftop before we go to the lab” he answered.
We headed to the rooftop.
“Danbi, why do you want to do this? You know it’s dangerous right?” he asked.
“I know. But as I said before, this is my fight too. My dad’s in the hospital, then who else should take care of it? It has to be me, no one else. I will take all the risks and consequences; I am not afraid” I said.
“But what if something happened to you? How can I stay sane? You’re my responsibility” he replied.
“Hey, nothing will happen to me, because you always got my back” I said to him.
He smiled and then he looked to the sky.
“Looks like it's going to rain. We have to go back inside, let’s go” he grabbed my back and led me inside.
Kkkrk…
“Alpha. There’s someone in the outdoor parking lot” said one of the Bravo team.
“Bravo team, in position. We’ll head there” He said. He looked at me and nodded as a sign.
We ran really fast towards the outdoor parking lot. While we’re on my way, the Bravo team reported again.
“There’s more than 1 person, we have 5 people in front of us. We’re now in position” they said.
“Charlie Team please standby in the main entrance now. Delta team, go monitor from the building. Don’t let your guard down. NOW!” he said.
Shit, it’s getting real.
We arrived at the parking lot, we saw 5 people standing next to the burning drum, 2 of them had guns, and 3 of them were empty handed, maybe they hid guns in their clothes. We walked slowly towards the Bravo team who’s on their position.
“Put your gun down, and let’s talk through. Who are you and what do you want?” Hojun shouted.
They laughed and they pointed their gun towards us.
We immediately took out our guns and pointed it at them. The situation is really tense.
“Who sent you here??” Hojun shout again.
“You know who he is” they said and then they laughed again.
They began to run towards us and we started the fist fight.
Bravo team, Hojun, and I have each other’s back, we fight with all our might.
Suddenly we heard a gunshot. Doorrrr…
I looked back and I found Hojun got shot. I gasped in shock.
“LEE HO JUN!!!!!” I ran to him, and checked the gunshot wound. He was shot in the right chest, and he bleeds a lot.
“Please stay awake, don't close your eyes. We’ll go to the hospital now!” I said.
Suddenly someone pulls my hair and pointed a torch at my face.
“You move; I burn” he said creepily.
I looked at the Bravo team who’s fighting with their lives, I can’t move because the fire is so close to my face. Hojun moved a little to help me, but it’s so hard because of the pain. I tried to move my leg to kick him from below. But he stepped on my foot,
“AAARRGGHHH!!!” I screamed in pain.
I immediately took out my knife and stab him in the thigh.
“YOU BI*CH” he screamed and he burned my hair, he took another steps back.
I got up to catch him but suddenly Hojun grabbed my wrist.
He swung his knife and he cut my hair in one go.
Kress…
I was shocked, he cut my burning hair in one go, with his injured body.
“Go, catch him now!” he said. I’m hesitating.
“No. We’ll go to the hospital now. Charlie team, back us up! Now!” I said through the walkie talkie.
I helped Hojun and brought him to the car. I can't let Hojun get hurt here for long, he will lose a lot of blood. I rushed to the hospital so he could be treated quickly.
“Hojun! Stay with me! Don’t close your eyes! Stay awake!! We’re almost there” I said hysterically.
I saw hojun slowly losing consciousness. I cried on the way to the hospital.
I brought him immediately to the emergency room. And the doctor quickly treated him.
--------
I waited for Hojun next to him. He lost a lot of blood, and still unconscious.
I clenched my fist. First my father, and now Hojun. I can’t forgive them; I will make them pay the price!
Riinngg… Riinggg…
It’s Hojun’s phone. I picked up the phone and it’s from the Bravo team.
“We got them. We’re now heading to the Gangnam police station” they said.
“Good job. I’ll head there right away” I got up and quickly rush to the police station.
I arrived at the police station and they started the interrogation.
“Who sent you?” the police asked. After all the questions, this question caught my attention.
“Who else? Lee Sok Gyo!!” they answered.
LEE SOK GYO…
I knew it!!! It must be him!! The person who hates my dad so much. He still holds a grudge against father after 16 years have passed. He was the reason I started learning self-defense. The most vicious mafia in Korea. After 16 years of silence, he finally started acting up.
The police put the 5 intruders in jail, while investigating this case as well.
“Bravo team, thank you for your hard work, as well as the Charlie & Delta team. You can go back to your post” I thanked them.
“Miss Danbi, How about Hojun? Is he okay?” asked one of them.
“He’s still unconscious, but nothing really serious. I will accompany him tonight” I said.
“Okay Miss. Thank you for your information, We’ll go back to our post now” they said before they go.
--------
(7 AM, at the hospital)
Hojun started to regain his consciousness, he opened his eyes little by little.
“Hojun-ah? Doctor,here!” I quickly call the doctor. The doctor checked on him.
“Miss, he’s all well. The injury may be a bit severe but it will slowly heal, I will make a prescription for medicine to speed up healing” the doctor said.
I sighed in relief…
“Hojun, you okay? I am sorry I can’t protect you. It won’t happen again” I cried a little.
He stroked my hair gently and smiled at me.
“I’m the one who should protect you. Sorry” he said to me while smiling.
“I’m sorry I cut your hair short” he apologized.
“No... you saved me from the fire. Thank you” I grabbed his hand.
“You also look good with short hair” he teased and he laughed a little
I smiled and hit his chest a bit,
“Ouch” he touched his chest.
“Ah… sorry” I said frantically. He smiled at me.
And suddenly his face moved closer to mine, his hand caressed my cheek.
I got nervous, with his sudden move.
But I slowly close my eyes…
Riiingg…Ring...
His phone’s ringing. We opened our eyes awkwardly, and he picked up the phone.
“Sir, we got a situation here in room 280” they said.
We looked at each other and ran to dad’s room immediately.
