Lost Girl | Taeyong

5. Out of The Frying Pan and Into the Fire

The orderly casino was now in complete shambles, crowds of screaming people attempting to escape, notes of money flying through the air, tables and chairs knocked over, guards running around, unsure of who to stop or help. It was chaos and Jaemi absolutely thrived off of it.

Pushing their way through the packed crowd, Jaemi dared to take a look back, only to see Suga following after them, only just exiting the hallway. His feet skidded to a stop, spinning around to see the entire destroyed casino, a look of pure fury across his face. His eyes were possibly flashing with red as he watched tables topple over, all sorts of peace disrupted. As if sensing her stare, his eyes found her in the crowd, sneering.

Jaemi pulled Seoho to the side, only just avoiding a bullet that flew past their head. Suga had been the one to shoot this time. Jaemi lost sight of Suag in the crowd, but he was most definitely in pursuit, she couldn't help but feel absolute satisfaction at the anger he currently held for her, no matter the danger it put her in.

Seoho took her hand, leading the pair to a window that sat on the very opposite side of the room. It led to an alley where Seoho had ditched the car in his rush to help Jaemi. In the midst of their sprint, Jaemi leapt over a discarded seat, only just spinning out of the way of two girls who screamed at the sight of the gun in Seoho's grip. Jaemi spotted an unconscious guard, running to his fallen form and snatching the discarded gun from his holster.

With Seoho's hand still on her own, pulling her along a safe route, she spun around. Raising the gun, she searched the crowd, all still trying desperately to push each other aside in hopes they would have a higher chance of escaping. It was very easy to spot the blond head of hair in the crowd. Eyes alight, she aimed, the bullet lodged itself into the arm of one of Suga's guards, taking him to the ground. The Viper copied her action, firing an entire round of bullets her way.

Luckily due to the uncoordinated manner that Seoho led them in, none of the bullets hit, but one did graze past Jaemi's arm, cutting through the fabric. It only missed by about an inch. Suga didn't relent, stalking Seoho and Jaemi, a malice, raging fire of anger in his eyes. When they finally pushed their way through to the window, Seoho crouched down, immediately setting on picking the lock, he knew the girl would protect him as he did so.

Jaemi flipped over a casino table, blocking the two from sight. Amidst the action, she watched as a figure oozing with familiar authority ran past her, gun in hand, towards where Suga crouched. Was that...? Her mind didn't have time to clock onto the familiar, ducking behind the table as another bullet whizzed towards her.

She leant out, firing a round in the opposition's direction, immediately taking cover again. She took a deep breath, eyes closing for a second, until a commotion of movement sounded in front of her. One guard had managed to reach Seoho, attempting to shoot him.

Jaemi growled, not hesitating as she spun around, hurtling the heavy briefcase towards the guards head. It caused a painful crack. The guard staggered back, clutching his head and Jaemi didn't miss a beat, kicking him in the throat. The guard fell to the ground, paralyzed. There was absolutely no way she would allow for her companions to be harmed. Her soul was already damned, but they still had a chance at life. Seoho glanced back to her, a thankful look in his eyes, she could only manage a simple smile back.

As Seoho moved back to continue picking the lock, Jaemi pulled his hand away, shaking her head. "We don't have time for this." Seoho sent her a questioning look, but she threw him her gun, he easily caught it, aiming for any dangers as Jaemi approached the locked window. By this point, Suga was knocking fleeing patrons out of his way as he stormed forward, an equally well dressed man by his side, ordering around the guards. Jaemi looked away, trusting that Seoho would be able to protect her.
