TWENTY | BULLET TO THE HEART
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
SOO-JIN COLLAPSED ON her knees.
She could feel her heart getting ripped out of her chest as she started to think who would die among them. It was so easy to think that all of them would survive, but no, this was reality.
And reality? Reality was a son of a bitch.
She had put Gi-Hun and Ali together, both fathers. One had a daughter while the other had a year-old son. Her bestfriend against the man who saved his life. One of their children will now soon become fatherless.
Then, there was Sae-Byeok and Ji-Yeong. Soo-Jin was already aware that Sae-Byeok wanted to get her mother out of North Korea and her brother from an orphanage while Ji-Yeong... she might not have talked to her so much, but she could only assume the girl had a family too. Their families might never see them again.
And finally, Sang-Woo and Minjun. The man she truly loved and the boy who she now considered like a son. For the last twenty years, Soo-Jin wanted nothing more than to reconcile with her former lover. Minjun... She had always wanted a son so she could name him Min-Jun. A small cry escaped her lips for it was like the gods gave her a gift only for them to take it away. She couldn't imagine what she would do if one of them died. She just asked Sang-Woo to protect Minjun for her earlier.
Life was cruel.
Now, at this time, she had to make a choice: save herself or save her partner's life.
Earlier, she chose to partner herself with the old man to save him, but now? It looked she would be the one who will end his life.
Whatever it takes.
Soo-Jin was not known to lose. She never fucking lost in her life. Every contest, competition she was in, she ended coming out on top, victorious. She was aware what was necessary to secure her win: sacrifice.
Without sacrifice, there can be no victory.
When she was still a student, she always sacrificed her time to get enough sleep because she would always study. Sometimes, when she felt that her teacher would give her surprise quiz, she'd skip her recess and proceed to the library, once again, to study.
Everytime life decided to throw a problem at her, she would always find a way to overcome them. Whenever she would be faced with an opponent stronger and bigger than her in those underground fights, she's use her wits to overpower them.
Yes, Chang Soo-Jin was a high achiever. She was never going to fail. She was bound to never lose.
