The fact he couldn't stop thinking about her. About her past. About her as a whole. Heeseung was so deeply invested that he forgot that someone hired a gang to murder him.
However, reality quickly hit him when he glanced from the window. People wearing black were wandering around, preparing for the shootdown.
He felt uneasy. That feeling wasn't something he liked.
'Did you figure out why are they acting up out of the blue?'
The idol's eyes traveled to Leah and her female colleague she left with before. They stood outside near the window. Heeseung hid behind curtains to listen to their conversation.
'It's weird. I mean honestly, if their objective was indeed Heeseung, they would do something a lot sooner.'
The painful truth made him bite his lower lip. He didn't want to think about it, but Leah was right.
Why didn't they try harder to actually kill him? They were in the cabin for a long time now and so far they attacked them only once. They had a lot of opportunities since only the two of them were around. It didn't make any sense.
'They tried to eliminate Sum- I mean Chong also. Was it because of the mission tho?' the tomboy-like girl said.
'Honestly, it could be because they tried to eliminate his guardian or something else.'
Something else? Heeseung didn't want to admit it, but that was exactly what he and Sumin were thinking all along. But they've never talked about it.
'Who is the bait here?'
Heeseung leaned on the wall and run through his hair. The unsaid reality hurt a lot more than he expected. For the first time in his life thought of him being the one to die crossed his mind.
He didn't want her to die.
Gunshot.
The déjà vu awakened unwanted memory in him. He looked through the window to see Sumin's gang running around hiding, getting into their positions.
'It's here!' someone shouted from the outside, making Heeseung freeze.
Already? He didn't understand a thing. They were so slow with everything before? What are their intentions exactly?
'Heeseung!'
She melted his frozen posture by jumping around his neck. She hugged him tightly which made butterflies in his stomach come alive.
'Are they here?' he asked in a soft tone, looking down so he could meet her eyes.
'Yes' she didn't hesitate.
He watched her running towards her sniping gear, preparing everything quicker than light.
'But isn't it too soon? They were taking their time. This is their final move' Heeseung walked around in frustration.
