RED SUITS | Jun-ho

Y/N'S POV

"Police! Drop your weapons and surrender!" I hear Jun-ho scream while he points the gun towards other soldiers.

"I already alerted the police about everything you did" he says, pulling out his phone to show them.

Moments later the frontman arrives. I am already here blending in with the other soldiers while trying to stay unnoticed.

"Since when has the Korean police ever shown such enthusiasm?" asks the frontman while approaching
Jun-Ho slowly his tone almost mocking.

"If you drop your gun and hand me your phone I might let you live" he offers.

I remain still and observe but I give Jun-Ho a small hand signal. Just a little gesture to let him know it's me.
He notices and I see relief flicker across his face.

At least he knows I am okay.

But the frontman keeps moving closer, step by step.

"Stop! One more step and I'll shoot" Jun-Ho warns him, his voice sharp and full of determination.

"You can fit five bullets in that gun," the frontman says, his tone is cold, "but you have already used a few. This is the last bullet you have"

"One bullet is enough to kill you" Jun-Ho replies firmly.

"Give up" says the frontman.

When he moves closer again Jun-Ho doesn't hesitate. He fires, hitting the frontman in the shoulder.

"Its over. Come with me" says the frontman calmly.

"You don't have to worry about your other accomplice they are probably dead" adds the frontman.

I feel anger boiling inside me—anger at myself for not knowing what to do, for failing Jun-Ho and for breaking my promise.

Jun-Ho lowers his gun slightly his voice is trembling as he demands, "Who are you?"

The moment has come.

The truth is right here.

The frontman removes his mask. I can't see his face clearly but Jun-Ho's facial expression tells me everything.

"In-Ho" Jun-Ho whispers, his voice trembling.

His brother.

His own brother is the frontman.

Jun-Ho has risked anything to find him only for this terrible truth to shatter him.

I can't stand it anymore. I step back my hands gripping the gun tightly and before the other soldiers can react I raise my weapon and shoot them all.

The frontman turns around and points his gun towards me. I take a deep breath and step forward, removing my mask.

"Y/n" he says, his voice heavy with disbelief.

He turns back to Jun-Ho.

"Please, both of you, come with me" he pleads.

But neither of us moves. Jun-Ho and I can't believe what's happening right now. Jun-Ho doesn't want to go, just like me.

In-Ho raises his gun and points it towards his own brother.

"I'm sorry" he says and then shoots Jun-Ho in his shoulder.

Everything slows down. I watch
Jun-Ho stumble backwards and he falls off the cliff.

"No" I whisper but I can't move.

Gone.

He is gone.

I stare in shock refusing to believe what I have just seen. In-Ho turns towards me.

"You bastard" I mutter and before he can react I strike him hard in the face with my gun.

I don't care about anything else. I rund down the cliff desperate to find Jun-Ho. Tears blur my vision but I don't stop.

I promised him. I promised I would find his brother. I promised I would keep him safe.

But now he might be dead.

My best friend is gone.

My first love is gone.

I search frantically calling his name, hoping—praying—that he is alive. Behind me I hear footsteps.

"No need to look for him" a voice says.

I turn to see In-Ho, blood covering his face and shoulders and the gun still in his hand.

"Why?" I scream at him. "Why did you kill your own brother" I cry.

"I had to" he says weakly "I had no other choice"

He poings his gun towards me.

"I have a deal for you" he starts. "Accept it or you will die here and now"

"What kind of deal?" I ask, my voice shaking, my heart pounding in my chest.
