Us || [Chaerji]

Chaeryeong's POV
I've been having my eyes closed for hours, my head resting on the side of the bed as I prayed for Yeji to be safe.

Ryujin and her men had gone out for quite a long time already, where did they go? I hope Yeji are not with them. What if they caught Yeji? What if she's getting beaten up by them? What if she's injured? What if she's-

Bad thoughts ran in my mind, forming more tears in my eyes.

I opened my eyes when I heard someone return home. Not more than a minute Ryujin showed up in my room. She's trying to catch her breath, probably escaping from something or someone just now. I swallowed, glaring at her.

Ryujin was standing at the door for minutes, both of us were staring at each other. Suddenly, I heard sirens outside, are those police officers?

"Fuck!" Ryujin hissed, she closed the door and locked it, running towards me, she covered my mouth with a piece of cloth, preventing me from making any sounds.

I tried to struggle, but end up earning a hard slap from her.

"Make any voices one more time and I won't hesitate to kill you," she said in a low and rough voice.

The sound of the sirens is getting louder, which means they are getting even closer to where I am right now. Did someone call the police? Is it Yeji? Soon, as I looked over to the window, I saw red and blue lights flashing, the sirens hasn't stopped yet. I guess the police are here.

I waited, hopefully, there's someone coming into my room to save me now. My eyes lit up as I looked at the door when I heard someone banging the door open. He, or maybe she, was trying to get in. Banging the door a few more times, the door broke, when that person used something to smash on the door.

When I saw the person who barged in, my eyes widened in shock. My heart hurts.

It's Yeji. Her head was injured, parts of her body were covered in bruises and blood. Her forehead, the corner of her lips, her cheeks, arms and legs... Everywhere, it's bruised badly and the injuries were very serious.

She stared at Ryujin deadly at the moment she walked in, with a metal rod in her hand.

"You really wanna die today, hm?" Ryujin chuckled coldly.

"I'm all yours to hit, but let go of Chaeryeong. First." Yeji uttered, her eyebrows raised.

"What if I don't?" Ryujin smirked, her hands wrapped around my neck, wanting to choke me.

"Don't make a scene, Shin. You know what's happening right now, police are here already," Yeji warned.

"I hate you. Hwang."

"Then kill me. You've always wanted to, isn-" Yeji got cut off when Ryujin suddenly approach her, pushing her harshly to the floor.

They fought in front of me, Ryujin keep hitting Yeji, then a few kicks, over and over again. Tears rolled down my cheeks, Yeji looks so weak already, she couldn't even defend herself. I felt helpless, I can do nothing but only watch as Yeji getting hit because of me.

I shouted for help, but where are the polices?

"You bastard!! URGH-" Ryujin yelled, and Yeji kicked her stomach, making the Ryujin fall back to the floor.

Yeji took out her pocket knife and pointed it in front of Ryujin's neck, she was about to stab Ryujin, but she stopped and placed the pocket knife back into her pocket.

Instead of fighting back, Yeji rushed to me and started untying the ropes that's on my hands and legs. Ryujin was still laying on the floor, panting heavily. The ropes on my hands were untied, so Yeji went down a little to untie the ropes on my ankles.
