Jimin took a step closer to Sohee without Noh Chang-ki knowing.
The distance is one span.
Shadows overlapped next to the back of Sohee's hand.
He took Sohee's hand without saying a word,
He quietly held something in his hand.
'...?'
The door opened, and Sohee followed Noh Chang-ki out, holding something Jimin had given her.
The red carpet, low lighting, and thick doors were intimidating.
“Hwayeon, stay here for a moment.”
Sohee gently clenched her palm.
The small thing Jimin gave me felt heavy against my skin.
Something cold and hard felt somehow familiar.
While I was standing at the door, an aide with thin glasses came in and asked a question.
“Where are you from?”
"Hong Kong."
“What route did you take?”
“It’s an airbase.”
“Please tell me the password.”
“7:45”
"Thank you for confirming, Hwayeon."
The aide held up the tablet.
“I will record your face.”
'Now that my face is exposed, today might be my last chance.'
Click—
The lens sparkled and the picture was taken.
"Come in, I'll take you inside."
Following the aide into the room, a splendid space with an unpleasant, cold smell unfolded.
Step by step-
I heard the sound of black shoes walking across the carpet.
It was Shin Kang-woo.
He sat on the sofa, resting his hand on the back of the chair and looking over Sohee.
“Hwa-yeon from the Hong Kong line. … You look familiar. Welcome.”
His makeup was heavy, and his gaze was more curious than suspicious.
“The business partner’s president is very pretty.”
He came over and wrapped his arms around my waist as if nothing had happened.
Her hand brushed against the fabric between her fur and one-piece dress.
"The seat next to me is empty today. Are you going to sleep over? Haha!!"
Noh Chang-ki put his hand into So-hee's skirt hem sinisterly.
Sohee smiled even in this situation.
It was rising to the very tip of my neck—
"Hold on. Hold on, Han So-hee. This little groping thing, it's okay. Today... this kid's going to die."
“Mr. Chairman, is everything you touch worth money?”
"Haha!! How much is it?"
"Hmm, one game? Haha"
"Haha... You're buying it expensively?"
"Let's get this out of the way. It's not too late to talk about the main topic and have a good time."
I came close to him and whispered something in his ear,
Soon, Sohee went to the sofa next to her and opened the fur.
“I want to have a good time, so I’d better finish quickly, right?”
"Haha, you too, Chairman~"
Sohee thought to herself.
'You dirty bastard, I'll kill you in an instant.'
The aide standing next to me held up a palm scanner.
“Customer, I will proceed with the final confirmation.”
At that moment, Sohee's thumb pressed a small capsule on the inside of her palm.
‘Chi-i-ik—’
Fine smoke spread like mist.
'pop!!!'
There was a short, loud noise from under the table, the desk collapsed, and glasses spilled out.
The fancy office was turned into a scene of chaos with loud noises and dust.
Sohee tore her skirt and pulled the gun out of the inner thigh band.
I pulled the slide back and raised the sights.
Shin Kang-woo's heart.
'If you... aim a little more... there's... too much smoke.'
“Stop—!”
The aide pulled the trigger first, shooting at Sohee.
'bang!!'
I twisted my body to avoid it, but
A heat spread to the side of my abdomen.
The unfamiliar pain made me gasp, and my body began to soak through.
Just then—the door slammed open.
It was Jimin.
The first step is the aide's wrist.
'bang!'
The second shot hit the aide in the shoulder.
Jimin approached Sohee, hugged her waist, and turned her around.
Blood flowed down his wrist.
"P..... blood...."
“Sohee, are you okay?”
My lips trembled.
Shin Kang-woo picked up a gun through the smoke.
His face and arms were scorched by the blast, but his eyes were clear.
But perhaps because he had inhaled too much smoke, his arm soon fell off.
“The retreat route is open, Jimin!!”
Haejin's radio message brushed Jimin's ears.
"I've cleared out all the North Korean emergency exit personnel, so come over there."
Jimin figures out the route,
He pulled Sohee's legs up and hugged her.
“Hold on a little longer.”
“Ji… Min… Mr… I, still…”
“Don’t talk. Breathe slowly.”
He crossed the threshold through the smoke.
He carefully laid Sohee down in the black SUV waiting in the underground parking lot and put the seat belt on her.
The shirt was already soaked in blood.
“Sohee, are you very dizzy?”
"Ah...not yet..."
"I'll hear from you later, later.
“We’ll be arriving at the mansion soon… Just hold on a little longer—just hold on a little longer.”
Sohee narrowed her eyes.
“Is…it…over…? That person….”
"..... later,"
Jimin held Sohee's hand with both of his.
It was slippery with a mixture of blood and sweat.
And very quietly,
He spoke in a voice no one had ever heard before.
"First... let's treat him first, okay?"
There was a little bit of sobbing left.
“…If you die—
“I don’t think I can survive.”
